The carcinogenic properties of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are caused by the reaction of these compounds with DNA.
The carcinogenic properties of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are caused by the reaction of these compounds with DNA. Some electrophilic reagents, such as boron trifluoride etherate, rearrange them to form carbonyl-containing compounds. The nucleophilic reagent triphenylphosphine forms an olefin (*) when reacted with them, and the reaction of sodium azide with one of them forms a beta-azide alcohol. Their industrial preparation involves the addition of a cholorhydrin to an alkene and then treatment with a base to remove hydrochloric acid. They are most commonly made by acting a peroxyacid upon an alkene, an action that causes the transfer of an oxygen atom and the creation of 60 degree bond angles, putting these molecules under strain. FTP, identify these cyclic ethers with a three-membered ring.
