A systematic nomenclature system for toxaphene congeners part 1: Chlorinated bornanes

A systematic code for a comprehensive numbering of toxaphene congeners on the basis of IUPAC rules has been developed. All chlorinated bornanes were characterized with a descriptor consisting of up to six letters and numbers. Each descriptor presents both enantiomers in the case of chiral compounds. Furthermore, chlorinated bornane congeners with a known structure are presented with both IUPAC nomenclature and the new systematic code. A computer program listing all the congener numbers is available from the authors.
