▪ However, the Diels-Alder cycloaddition of
hexachlorocyclopentadiene with norbornadiene gives
practically only aldrin. The kinetically preferred transition
state involves approach of the hexachlorocyclopentadiene
upon the exo face of one of the two equivalent double bonds
in the dienophile (exo facial stereoselectivity). From the two
possible exo transition states the one that minimizes the steric
interaction between a C(5)-Cl bond in the diene and the anti
C(7)-H bond in the dienophile (108) is preferred leading to
aldrin.

▪ By contrary, isodrin is formed through a kinetically preferred
transition state involving the approach of the diene
(cyclopentadiene) upon the endo face of the non-chlorinated
double bond in the hexachloronorbornadiene dienophile.
From the two possible endo transition states (113 and 114),
the one that leads to the formation of isodrin (114) minimizes
non-bonded steric interactions between a C(5)-H bond in the
diene and the dienophile.

▪ Polycyclic compounds
Mirex (115) and kepone (117). Mirex is obtained from
hexachlorocyclopentadiene on treatment with aluminum chloride
in methylene chloride or carbon tetrachloride. In another synthetic
route hexachlorocyclopentadiene undergoes first Diels-Alder
cyclodimerization to the corresponding
dodecachlorodicyclopentadiene 116 which in the presence of
aluminum chloride or antimony chloride isomerizes to mirex.
Kepone is formed by heating hexachlorocyclopentadiene at 35-
80°C with chlorosulfonic acid, fuming sulfuric acid or sulfur
trioxide.

Dimethyl phosphorothiochloridate can easily be
converted with ammonia to O,O-dimetyl
phosphorothioamidate which, in the presence of
a methylating agent like dimethyl sulfate,
undergoes thion→thiol isomerisation, and it’s
converted to the O,S-dimethyl analogue
(methamidophos) which in turn can be acylated
with acetic anhydride to eventually give
acephate.
