Drug metabolism and disposition: the biological fate of chemicals, 10(3), 201-204 (1982-05-01)
The stereochemistry of the metabolism of vic-dihaloalkanes to alkenes has been studied. This glutathione-dependent biotransformation may occur by two mechanism. The first mechanism involves the nucleophilic attack of glutathione on the substrate resulting in S-(beta-haloalkyl)glutathione formation; subsequent attack of a
