Abstract

The isomeric benzo-ring cis-dihydrodiob and phenols of dibenz [a, c] anthracene (DB [a, c] A) have been synthesized. The appropriate dihydro-DB [a, c] A was treated with osmium tetraoxide to produce the corresponding cistetrahydrodiols of DB [a, c] A. These cis- tetrahydrodiols were converted to the corresponding cis-dihydrodiols by the synthetic routes useful in the preparation of trans-dihydrodiols of the polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. ...
