โฆ Synopsis
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAR) are metabolized primarily by enzymatic oxyganation which converts the hydrocarbons into polycyclic phenols, dihydrodiols, quinones, etc., and water-soluble conjugates.
1 These metabolites are thought to be formed via eporfde intermedi-2 ates, which readily isomerise to phenols. Metabolic studies of carcinogenic PAR require the availability of authentic samples of these metabolites, thus we have recently re-eramined the syntheses of some PAD K-region phenols via acid-catalyzed dehydration of their parent cis-dihydrodiols.
