Abstract
The molecular structure of 7α, 8β-dihydroxy-9β, 10β-epoxy-7, 8, 9, 10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene, an ultimate carcinogenic form of benzo[a]pyrene has been determined by X-ray crystallography. The tetra-hydrobenzene ring has diequatorial hydroxyl sub-stitutents and a C8 half-chair conformation. The epoxide ring is symmetric and the plane of the epoxide ring is approximately at right angles to the plane of the aromatic system. A variety of other geometric parameters are reported.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
