Chlordane Production from Chlordene

This report provides an extensive cost evaluation of producing Chlordane from chlordene. In this method, chlordane is synthesized by the process of chlorination of chlordane. The method involves the use of hexachlorocyclopentadiene and cyclopentadiene as the main starting materials for the synthesis of chlordane as the product. The process is initiated by Diels–Alder addition of hexachlorocyclopentadiene and cyclopentadiene to produce non-chiral chlordene. Further, the chlordene obtained undergoes chlorination, which results in the formation of chlordane as the final product.
