Abstract
alpha-Chlorohydrin (I) is oxidatively metabolized to beta-chlorolactic acid (III) and oxalic acid (IV). Deposition of calcium oxalate within the renal tubules is responsible for the toxic effects of alpha-chlorohydrin and a similar action on the epididymis or epididymal blood vessels could initiate the formation of spermatocoeles from this and other male antifertility agents.Entities:
