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. It has also been used to develop empirically derived correlation of configuration and nmr chemical shifts for diastereomeric MTPA esters.

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
