Description

9,10-Epoxy-7,8,9,10-Tetrahydrobenzo(A)Pyrene is a high-purity, specialized polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) derivative, serving as a critical intermediate and reference standard in advanced chemical research. Its value lies in its defined structure, which is essential for mechanistic studies, toxicological profiling, and the synthesis of more complex molecules. This compound is primarily needed by analytical laboratories, environmental testing facilities, and research institutions focused on organic synthesis, carcinogenicity studies, and the development of analytical methods for PAH detection.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Used for the calibration of instruments (GC, HPLC, LC-MS) and as a certified standard in the quantification of PAHs and their metabolites in environmental and biological samples.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a key intermediate or metabolite model in studies investigating the metabolic activation pathways, DNA adduct formation, and carcinogenic mechanisms of Benzo(a)pyrene and related PAHs.
• Organic Synthesis: Acts as a versatile building block or precursor for synthesizing more complex polycyclic structures, dyes, or specialized polymers in advanced material science.
• Toxicology & Environmental Science: Employed in ecotoxicology studies to assess the impact and transformation of PAHs in ecosystems and to develop remediation strategies.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Utilized in early-stage discovery for probing biological interactions and as a template for designing novel molecular entities.
• Quality Control: Applied in the quality assurance processes of industries that monitor PAH contamination, such as food safety, consumer products, and petroleum.
