I 2 the cytotoxic, mutagenic, 2 and carcinogenic3 action of the ubiquitous environmental carcinogen benzo [a] pyrene. Thus, a knowledge of the solvolytic reactions of these metabolites4 assumes a special importance. To date, only product studies with qualitative rate data, 23’46· 5 and one kinetic study6 over a very limited pH range (ca. 5-6) in 50% dioxane-water have appeared. In the latter study, kinetic data revealed only the existence of acid-catalyzed mechanisms for the hydrolysis of1 and 2, and both isomers were found to possess similar reac-tivities. 7 The present study reports the pH-rate profiles and product analysis for the hydrolysis of 1 and 2 in water and in dioxane-water mixtures. This study reveals that the mechanisms for hydrolysis of both 1 and 2 change from acid-cat a-lyzed processes at low pH to spontaneous reactionswith sol-vent at higher pH in highly aqueous solutions (Figure 1), accompanied by changes in product distributions. Whereas isomer 2 is about twice as reactive as isomer 1 toward acidcatalyzed hydrolysis, 1 is more than 30 times more reactive than 2 under conditions of spontaneous hydrolysis. The large difference in reactivity between 1 and 2 in the physiological pH range may play a significant role in the relative tumorgenic properties of 1 and 2.
