Description

Benz[A]Anthracene-1R,2T,3C,4T-Tetrahydro-1,2,3,4-Tetrol CAS NO 87099-89-6 is a high-purity, stereochemically defined tetrahydrotetrol derivative of benz[a]anthracene. This compound serves as a critical chiral intermediate and reference standard in advanced organic synthesis and analytical research. It is primarily required by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, fine chemical manufacturers, and academic institutions engaged in the study of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) metabolism, stereoselective synthesis, and the development of novel bioactive molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral building block for the synthesis of complex drug candidates and pharmacologically active molecules.
• Metabolite Reference Standard: Used as an analytical standard in laboratories studying the metabolic pathways and detoxification of benz[a]anthracene and related PAHs.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in enzymatic studies and as a substrate or inhibitor in research concerning cytochrome P450 and other metabolizing enzymes.
• Organic Synthesis: A valuable precursor for synthesizing stereochemically complex polycyclic compounds for material science and chemical biology applications.
• Toxicology Studies: Serves as a precise standard in environmental and biological monitoring to assess exposure to and effects of PAH derivatives.
