The absolute configurations of K-reglon epoxide enantiomers of 3-methylcholanthrene, benz [a Janthracene, and benzo [a]-pyrene have been determined via their monomethyl ether derivatives. Methoxylatlon of each racemic or enantiomeric epoxide by sodium methoxlde resulted In a pair of mono-methyl ether derivatives, which were separated by normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The position of the methoxy group was determined by products formed by acid-catalyzed dehydration and/or demethanolization of each monomethyl ether derivative. En-antiomers of each epoxide and Its methoxylated derivatives were resolved by at least two of the four Plrkle chiral stationary phase HPLC columns utilized In this study. The ab-solute stereochemistries of enantiomeric monomethyl ether derivatives were established by comparing their circular dlchrolsm spectra with those of enantiomeric monomethyl ether derivatives derived from trans dlhydrodlol enantiomers of known absolute configurations. The absolute configuration of each epoxide enantiomer was deduced from the location of the methoxy group and the absolute configuration of enan-tiomeric monomethyl ether derivatives. Results Indicate that the method described Is useful In general for the determination of absolute configurations of K-reglon epoxide enantiomers of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.Epoxides (arene oxides) are major initial products formed in the metabolism of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by mammalian cytochrome P-450isozymes (1, 2). While some PAH epoxides possess mutagenic and/or cytotoxic activities (1, 2), others are further metabolized either to nontoxic or to mutagenic and carcinogenic products (3, 4). The stereoselective natures of microsomal cytochrome P-450 isozymes and epoxide hydrolase account for theformation of optically active epoxides, dihydrodiols, and dihydrodiol epoxides, some of which are proximate and ultimate carcinogenic metabolites of some PAHs (3-6).
