Application

1-Pyrenemethanol can be used:
  • For the synthesis of pincer-like benzene-bridged fluorescent selective sensor for adenosine-5′-triphosphate (ATP) detection.
  • As a starting material for the synthesis of pyrene-end poly(glycidyl methacrylate) polymer.
  • As an initiator for the synthesis of pyrene core star polymers.
  • For the synthesis of 1-pyrenecarboxaldehyde, an important intermediate in pharmaceutical and agrochemical fields.

1-Hydroxymethylpyrene (HMP), a primary benzylic alcohol, and 4H-cyclopenta[def]chrysen-4-ol (OH-CPC), a secondary benzylic alcohol, were investigated for mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium (reversion of the his- strain TA98) in the presence of various xenobiotic-metabolizing systems. In the direct test, HMP was inactive

1-Hydroxymethylpyrene (HMP) is activated to a potent mutagen, detectable in Salmonella typhimurium, in the presence of hepatic cytosol, cofactor for sulfotransferases, and chloride anions. The number of induced mutations is linear to the amount of cytosol used over a wide

Carcinogenesis, 11(9), 1451-1460 (1990-09-01)
Our previous studies on 7-hydroxymethyl-12-methylbenz[a]anthracene and 6-hydroxymethylbenzo[a]pyrene showed that cytosolic sulfotransferase activity plays a major role in the formation of hepatic benzylic DNA and RNA adducts by these carcinogens in rats. In the present study, we found similar sulfotransferase activity
