摘要
An optically active 8,9-diol has been identified as a rat liver microsomal metabolite of the carcinogenic 8-methylbenz[a]anthracene. This is the first example indicating that the presence of a methyl group in a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon does not sterically block the enzymatic formation of a diol at the methyl-substituted double bond. © 1979.
