Reactions of phosphodiesters with epoxides of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
Abstract
(±)-t-9, t-10-Epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene-r-7, t-8-diol and other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon epoxides react with phosphodiesters to give phosphotriesters by regiospecific and stereospecific opening of the epoxide.
