Application

Diastereomeric bis-esters of (±)-trans-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[α]pyrene with MTPA has been used as a noncarcinogenic precursor to obtain the (+)and (-)-dihydrodiols by chromatographic resolution.[1] It has also been used to develop empirically derived correlation of configuration and nmr chemical shifts for diastereomeric MTPA esters.[2]

From the leaves of Meliosma lepidota ssp. squamulata, megastigmane glucosides with spiro-structures and megastigmanes were isolated. Their structures were determined by X-ray crystallographic analyses and spectroscopic investigation. The absolute structures of the megastigmanes were determined by the modified Mosher's method.

The (+)- and (-)-enantiomers of benzo[a]pyrene 7,8-oxide are hydrated stereospecifically at C-8 to (-)- and (+)-trans-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene, respectively, by rat hepatic epoxide hydrolase. The (-)-enantiomer of benzo[a]pyrene 7,8-oxide is metabolized by microsomal epoxide hydrolase at a rate 3- to 4-fold greater
