title: Synthesis of dibenzo[def,p]chrysene, its active metabolites, and their 13C-labeled analogues.
abstract: Dibenzo[def,p]chrysene (DBC) is a highly carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon suspected to be involved in initiation of lung cancer in smokers. Efficient new syntheses of DBC, its active metabolites [DBC diol (1), DBC dione (2), DBC diol epoxide (3)], and their previously unknown 13C2-labeled analogues are reported. The 13C2-labeled analogues are required as standards for sensitive methods of analysis of their DNA adducts in human cells using stable isotope dilution liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry.
