Abstract

The seven possible monohydroxy derivatives of dibenz [a, h] anthracene (4a-g) were synthesized by using the reductive cyclization of o-naphthoylnaphthoic acids with hydroiodic acid-red phosphorus. The mass,'H NMR, and UV spectral properties are discussed in detail as a means of identifying metabolically formed phenols of dibenz [a, h] anthracene.
