All possible interactions between the K and L groups were taken into account and Akk = 0. The definition contains a minimum number of groups and is satisfactory for most of the binary systems studied. However, it cannot take into account the structural differences which exist between position isomers. This is the case of polycyclic aromatic compounds presenting cycle position isomers or substitute position isomers. Structural differences of this type determine the gaps between the values of certain thermophysical properties of isomers, such as, for example, the fusion temperature or sublimation enthalpy. The further the temperature falls, the more these differences are accentuated. The representation of the solid-fluid (low temperature) equilibria is consequently more difficult and the model must take into account the existing structural differences. We came across this problem in the compounds such as anthracene, phenanthrene, pyrene, methylated naphthalenes, hexamethylbenzene and triphenylmethane. As it was out of the question to increase the number of groups because... 

Solvent or fractional condensation methods, however, do not give complete separation from the anthracene of such substances as acridine, Ruorantln-enc, flnorene, pyrene, methyl-anthracene, chrysene, acenaphthene, high molecular weight paraffin hydrocarbons, etc., which are present in the crude anthracene press cake. During the subsequent oxidation of anthracene by the liquid phase method these substances result in the formation of impurities difficult to separate from the anthraquinoue and detracting considerably from its quality as a dye intermediate.

PAHs, such as benzo[a]pyrene and 3-methyl cholanthrene, induce P450 lAl/2 (Chapter 2). 

There is evidence for immunosuppressive effects of PAHs in rodents (Davila et al. 1997). For example, strong immunosuppressive effects were reported in mice that had been dosed with benzo[fl]pyrene and 3-methyl cholanthrene, effects that persisted for up to 18 months (Environmental Health Criteria 202). Multiple immu-notoxic effects have been reported in rodents, and there is evidence that these result from disturbance of calcium homeostasis (Davila et al. 1997). PAHs can activate protein tyrosine kinases in T cells that initiate the activation of a form of phospholipase C. Consequently, release of inositol triphosphate—a molecule that immobilizes Ca + from storage pools in the endoplasmic reticulum—is enhanced.

Hemoglobin is another heme-containing protein, which has been shown to be active towards PAH, oxidation in presence of peroxide [420], This protein was also modified via PEG and methyl esterification to obtain a more hydrophobic protein with altered activity and substrate specificity. The modified protein had four times the catalytic efficiency than that of the unmodified protein for pyrene oxidation. Several PAHs were also oxidized including acenaphthene, anthracene, azulene, benzo(a)pyrene, fluoranthene, fluorene, and phenanthrene however, no reaction was observed with chrysene and biphenyl. Modification of hemoglobin with p-nitrophenol and p-aminophenol has also been reported [425], The modification was reported to enhance the substrate affinity up to 30 times. Additionally, the solvent concentration at which the enzyme showed maximum activity was also higher. Both the effects were attributed to the increase in hydrophobicity of the active site. 

Methods for the synthesis of the biologically active dihydrodiol and diol epoxide metabolites of both carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are reviewed. Four general synthetic routes to the trans-dihydrodiol precursors of the bay region anti and syn diol epoxide derivatives have been developed. Syntheses of the oxidized metabolites of the following hydrocarbons via these methods are described benzo(a)pyrene, benz(a)anthracene, benzo-(e)pyrene, dibenz(a,h)anthracene, triphenylene, phen-anthrene, anthracene, chrysene, benzo(c)phenanthrene, dibenzo(a,i)pyrene, dibenzo(a,h)pyrene, 7-methyl-benz(a)anthracene, 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene, 3-methylcholanthrene, 5-methylchrysene, fluoranthene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(j)fluoranthene, benzo(k)-fluoranthene, and dibenzo(a,e)fluoranthene. 

Syntheses of the trans-7,8-dihydrodiol derivatives of 7-and 8-methylbenzo(a)pyrene via Method I have also been reported (24-26). Conversion of the latter to trans-7,8-dihydroxy-anti-9,10-epoxy-8-methyl-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo(a)pyrene, has also been described (26). 

For unsubstituted PAH, such as benzo[a]pyrene (BP), pyridinium or acetoxy derivatives are formed by direct attack of pyridine or acetate ion, respectively, on the radical cation at C-6, the position of maximum charge density (Scheme 1). This is followed by a second one-electron oxidation of the resulting radical and loss of a proton to yield the 6-substituted derivative. For methyl-substituted PAH in which the maximum charge density of the radical cation adjacent to the methyl group is appreciable, as in 6-methylbenzo[a]-pyrene (6-methylBP) (Scheme 2), loss of a methyl proton yields a benzylic radical. This reactive species is rapidly oxidized by iodine or MnJ to a benzylic carbonium ion with subsequent trapping by pyridine or acetate ion, respectively.
