Abstract

Dihydro diols which are potential proximate carcinogens of the environmental agents benzo [b] fluoranthene (l), benzoLjlfluoranthene (Z), and benzo [k] fluoranthene (3) were synthesized. The dihydro diols synthesized were trans-9, 10-dihydro-9, 10-dihydroxybenzo [blfluoranthene (5), truns-9, 10-dihydro-9, lO-dihydroxybenzo~]-fluoranthene (6), and trans- 8, 9-dihydro-8, 9-dihydroxybenzo [k] fluoranthene (7). In each case, the precursor to the ...
