Sulfochlorination of Aliphatic Compounds

ES Critical Reviews: Transformations of halogenated aliphatic compounds.

Biodegradability of chlorinated solvents and related chlorinated aliphatic compounds

Genetic adaptation of bacteria to halogenated aliphatic compounds.

The bacterial degradation and detoxification of chlorinated xenobiotic compounds requires the production of enzymes that are capable of recognizing and converting compounds which do not occur at significant concentrations in nature. We have studied the catabolic route of 1,2-dichloroethane as an example of a pathway for the conversion of such a synthetic compound. In strains of Xanthobacter and...

Transformation of chlorinated aliphatic compounds by ferruginous smectite.

A series of chlorinated aliphatic compounds (RCI, including carbon tetrachloride (PCM), 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA), 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane (TeCA), pentachloroethane (PCA), hexachloroethane (HCA), trichloroethene (TCE), tetrachloroethene (PCE), trichloronitromethane (chloropicrin, CP), and trichloroacetonitrile (TCAN)) was reacted with ferruginuous smectite (sample SWa-1 from The Source Clay...
