Description

A ten step synthesis of benzo[a]pyrene-1-13C, -2-13C, or 3-13C from 2,3,7, 11b-tetrahydrobenz[d,e]anthracen-3(1H)-one is described in which the initial step involves the condensation of this ketone with the lithium enolate of ethyl acetate. This completes the authors' synthesis of the twelve 13C labelled benzo[a]pyrenes. (author)
