Synthesis of benzo[g]chrysene, benzo[g]chrysene 9,10-oxide and benzo[g]chrysene 1,2 : 9,10-dioxide
Abstract
Benzo[g]chrysene has been synthesised and used in the preparation of the K-region arene oxide, benzo[g]chrysene 9,10-oxide. Attempts to synthesise the fjord region arene oxide, benzo[g]chrysene 1,2-oxide, were unsuccessful but a fjord region diarene oxide, benzo[g]chrysene 1,2 : 9,10-dioxide has been obtained.
