Chapter 9, Problem 65P(choose chapter or problem)
Chlordane, like \(\mathrm{DDT}\), is an organohalide that was used as an insecticide for crops such as corn and citrus and for lawns. In \(1983\), it was banned for all uses except against termites, and in \(1988\) it was banned for use against termites as well. Chlordane can be synthesized from two reactants in one step. One of the reactants is hexachlorocyclopentadiene. What is the other reactant? (Hint : See \(\text{Section} \ 8.19\))

ANSWER:Solution 65P
Step 1 of 2
Chlordane is synthesized by using the Diels-Alder reaction in a single step. One of the reactant is hexachlorocyclopentadiene. So, the other reactant can be finding by using the Retro Diels-Alder reaction.
Retro Diels-Alder reaction:
One of the reactant is hexachlorocyclopentadiene and the other reactant is 1,4-dichlorocyclopent-1ene.
