Abstract

The absolute conflguratlons of K-region epoxide enantlomers of B-methyichoianthrene, benz [a] anthracene, and benzo [a]-pyrene have been determined via their monomethyl ether derlvatives. Methoxylatlon of each racemic or enantiomeric epoxlde by sodium methoxlde resulted In a pair of monomethyl ether derlvatlves, whlch were separated by normalphase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The position of the ...
