Methylated fluorenes [1-methylfluorene, 2-methylfluorene, 3-methylfluorene, 4-methylfluorene, 9-methylfluorene, 1,9-dimethylfluorene, 2,3-dimethylfluorene, 9,9-dimethylfluorene, 1,1-diphenylethane, 9-hydroxymethylfluorene, 9-methyl-9-fluorenol and 9-hydroperoxy-9-methylfluorene] were assayed for mutagenic activity towards Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA100. None of these methylfluorenes were mutagenic in the absence of metabolic activation. In the presence of 9000 .times. g supernatant from Aroclor-induced rats, 9-methylfluorene and 1,9-dimethylfluorene were active towards TA98 and TA100. The structural requirement for mutagenic activity within this series was the presence of a single methyl substitutent at the 9-position. Enhanced mutagenic activity was also observed for benzofluorenes [benzo(a)fluorene, benzo(b)fluorene, benzo(c)fluorene, 11-methylbenzo(a)fluorene, 11-methylbenzo(b)fluorene and 7-methylbenzo(c)fluorene] similarly methylated at their benzylic positions.
