title: Structure-carcinogenic activity relationships in the Benz [a] anthracene series.
abstract: The syntheses of 1,7,12-trimethyl- and 2,7,12-trimethylbenz[a]anthracenes are described. The lack of carcinogenic activity of these compounds is discussed in relationship to the carcinogenic activity of other substituted benz[a]anthracenes.
