Abstract The impurities in technical methoxychlor were concentrated by removing most of the 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)ethane by recrystallization. Analysis of the impurities by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry provided evidence for more than 50 compounds. Twenty-five of these were identified through interpretation of mass spectra and synthesis.
