Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons react at the K-region with N-bromoacetamide in acetic acid to provide trans-bromohydrin acetates which are readily cyclized to arene oxides. The simplicity of the approach makes radioactive and optically active K-region arene oxides easily available. K-Region arene
A new general synthesis of arene oxides recently reported' from this laboratory has allowed the synthesis of the previously inaccessible "K-region" oxides (@, ,b) of the potent carcinogens '7,12-dimethylbenzraY anthracene ('7.1 P-DMBA) and benzola] pyrene2. This approach, however, still suffers from
