Abstract
1,12-Dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (1,12-DMBA) cis-5,6-dihydrodiol was synthesized by oxidation of 1,12-DMBA with osmium tetroxide in pyridine in low yield (less than or equal to 3%) and was purified by sequential use of reversed-phase and normal-phase HPLC. Two pairs of 1,12-DMBA cis-5,6-dihydrodiol enantiomers, derived from P (right-handed helix) and M (left-handed helix) conformers, were eluted as a single chromatographic peak on both reversed-phase and normal-phase HPLC. However, these four enantiomers were resolved by sequential use of two chiral stationary phase (CSP) HPLC columns. CSP (Pirkle type I) columns were packed with either (R)-N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)phenylglycine or (S)-N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)leucine, which is ionically bonded to gamma-aminopropylsilanized silica. Absolute configurations of enantiomers were determined by comparing their circular dichroism spectra with those of conformationally similar cis-5,6-dihydrodiol enantiomers of 4-methylbenz[a]anthracene and 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene with known absolute stereochemistry.

Abstract
K-region trans-dihydrodiol derivatives of phenanthrene, 1-methylphenanthrene, 4,5-methylenephenanthrene, pyrene, 1-bromopyrene, chrysene, benzo[c]phenanthrene, benz[a]anthracene, 1-, 4-, 6-, 7-, 11- and 12-methylbenz[a]anthracenes, 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene, 3-methylcholanthrene, and benzo[a]pyrene, and non-K-region trans-3,4-dihydrodiols of benz[a]anthracene, chrysene, and 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene are converted to O-methyl ethers. Enantiomers of these O-methyl ethers are generally more efficiently separated on Pirkle's chiral stationary phases than the enantiomers of underivatized dihydrodiols. O-Methyl ethers are substantially less polar than dihydrodiols, and O-methyl ethers are eluted with shorter retention times. Eluents of lower polarity can hence be used. This enhances chiral interactions between chiral stationary phase and solutes, allowing improved separation of enantiomers.

Abstract
The high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) separation of enantiomers of oxide and hydroxy derivatives of dibenz[a,j]acridine and 7-methylbenz[c]acridine was investigated on a chiral stationary phase chromatography column using commercially available columns. In most cases either poor or no separation of enantiomers was achieved. Normal-phase separation of diastereoisomeric ester derivatives of the hydroxy compounds, prepared from commercially available (-)-menthoxyacetic acid or (+)-alpha-methoxy-alpha-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetic acid, was investigated. No separation of the diastereoisomeric esters of trans-3,4-dihydroxy-3,4-dihydrodibenz[a,j]acridine was observed. However, diastereoisomeric esters prepared from (+)-endo-1,4,5,6,7,7-hexachlorobicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2-carboxyl ic acid [(+)-HCA] were easily separated. Using the three chiral acids, diastereoisomers were prepared from sixteen hydroxy derivatives of dibenz[a,j]acridine and 7-methylbenz[c]acridine. (+)-HCA esters gave good to excellent HPLC separations which were superior to those achieved using other chiral acids in most cases. The enantiomeric composition of trans-3,4-dihydroxy-3,4-dihydrodibenz[a,j]acridine formed as a major rodent liver microsomal metabolite of dibenz[a,j]acridine was determined using (+)-HCA.

Abstract
Enantiomeric compositions of epoxides formed in the metabolism of planar benz[a]anthracene (BA), benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), and chrysene (CR), and nonplanar benzo[c]phenanthrene (BcPh), 12-methylbenz[a]anthracene (12-MBA) and 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (7,12-DMBA) by liver microsomes from untreated, phenobarbital-treated, and 3-methylcholanthrene-treated rats are determined either by direct chiral stationary phase HPLC analysis or by the enantiomeric compositions of metabolically formed trans-dihydrodiols. Cytochrome P-450 isozymes contained in various liver microsomal preparations have varying degrees of stereoselectivity in catalyzing the epoxidation reactions at various formal double bonds of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons studied. In general, cytochrome P-450c, the major cytochrome P-450 isozyme contained in liver microsomes from 3-methylcholanthrene-treated rats, has the highest degree of stereoselectivity. Regardless of absolute configuration, non-K-region epoxides are converted to trans-dihydrodiols by epoxide hydrolase-catalyzed water attack at the allylic carbon. The S-center of K-region S,R-epoxide enantiomers derived from planar BA, BaP and CR is the major site of epoxide hydrolase-catalyzed water attack. In contrast, the R-center of K-region S,R-epoxide enantiomers derived from nonplanar BcPh, 12-MBA and 7,12-DMBA is the major site of epoxide hydrolase-catalyzed water attack. However, the K-region R,S-epoxide enantiomers of the six polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons studied are hydrated by microsomal epoxide hydrolase with varying degrees of regioselectivity. Thus the enantiomeric composition of a metabolically formed dihydrodiol is determined by (i) the stereoselective epoxidation at a formal double bond of a parent hydrocarbon by microsomal cytochrome P-450 isozymes and (ii) the enantioselective and regioselective hydration of the metabolically formed epoxide by microsomal epoxide hydrolase.

Abstract
The K-region 5,6-epoxides, formed in the metabolism of benzo[c]phenanthrene (BcPh) in the presence of an epoxide hydrolase inhibitor 3,3,3-trichloropropylene 1,2-oxide (TCPO) by liver microsomes from untreated, phenobarbital-treated, 3-methylcholanthrene-treated, and polychlorinated biphenyls (Aroclor 1254)-treated rats of the Sprague-Dawley and the Long-Evans strains, were found by chiral stationary phase high-performance liquid chromatography analyses to be enriched (58-72%) in the 5S, 6R enantiomer. In the absence of TCPO, the metabolically formed BcPh trans-5,6-dihydrodiol was enriched (78-86%) in the 5S,6S enantiomer. The major enantiomer of the BcPh 3,4-epoxide metabolite was found to be enriched in the 3S,4R enantiomer which undergoes racemization under the experimental conditions. The major enantiomer of the 5,6-dihydrodiol metabolite was elucidated by the exciton chirality circular dichroism (CD) method to have a 5S,6S absolute stereochemistry. Absolute configurations of enantiomeric methoxylation products derived from each of the two BcPh 5,6-epoxide enantiomers. Optically pure BcPh 5S,6R-epoxide was enzymatically hydrated exclusively at the C6 position to form an optically pure BcPh 5S,6S-dihydrodiol. However, optically pure BcPh 5R,6S-epoxide was hydrated at both C5 and C6 positions to form a BcPh trans-5,6-dihydrodiol with a (5S,6S):(5R,6R) enantiomer ratio of 32:68.

Abstract
The direct separation of 26 bay region and non-bay region mono-ol and diol enantiomers of phenanthrene, benz[a]anthracene, and chrysene was compared by high-performance liquid chromatography on commercially available columns, packed with gamma-aminopropylsilanized silica to which either (R)-N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)phenylglycine(R-DNBPG) or (S)-N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)leucine(S-DNBL) was either ionically or covalently bonded. In general, enantiomers of bay region mono-ols and diols are more efficiently resolved than those of non-bay region derivatives. Elution orders of enantiomers on either chiral stationary phase are the same, regardless of whether the chiral stationary phase is ionically or covalently bonded. Except for the enantiomers of 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenz[a]anthracene, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenz[a]anthracene trans-1,2-diol, and benz[a]anthracene trans-1,2-dihydrodiol, elution orders of resolved enantiomers on R-DNBPG are reversed on S-DNBL. The enantiomers are generally more efficiently resolved on R-DNBPG than on S-DNBL. With the exception of the elution order of the enantiomeric 4-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrochrysene, the results of this study are consistent with the chiral recognition mechanisms proposed by Pirkle and co-workers, who developed the chiral stationary phases used in this study.

Abstract
The direct resolution of K-region cis- and trans-dihydrodiol enantiomers of 14 unsubstituted and methyl- and bromo-substituted benz[a]anthracene (BA) derivatives was investigated by high-performance liquid chromatography with commercially available columns, packed with gamma-aminopropylsilanized silica to which either (R)-N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)phenylglycine (R-DNBPG) or (S)-N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)leucine (S-DNBL) is either ionically or covalently bonded. BA derivatives used in this study include: BA, 1-methyl-BA, 4-methyl-BA, 7-methyl-BA, 8-methyl-BA, 10-methyl-BA, 11-methyl-BA, 12-methyl-BA, 7,12-dimethyl-BA, 7-bromo-BA, 7-bromo-1-methyl-BA, 7-bromo-11-methyl-BA, 7-bromo-12-methyl-BA, and 3-methylcholanthrene. The enantiomers of BA trans-5,6-dihydrodiol were the only compounds not resolved by any of the four chiral stationary phases (CSPs) tested. The results indicate that conformational preference of the hydroxyl group is one of the most important factor in determining the elution order of dihydrodiol enantiomers. The presence and the location of a substituent and the molecular size and shape of the dihydrodiols can significantly affect the efficiency of enantiomeric resolution. In general, the ionically bonded R-DNBPG provides the best resolution of enantiomeric quasidiequatorial trans-dihydrodiols and the R,R enantiomers are consistently more strongly retained. In contrast, the enantiomeric pairs of quasidiaxial trans-dihydrodiols are generally better resolved by the covalently bonded R-DNBPG, and the S,S enantiomers are more strongly retained. The enantiomers of cis-dihydrodiols having hydroxyl groups that adopt quasiequatorial-quasiaxial and/or quasiaxial-quasiequatorial conformations are more consistently resolved by the ionically bonded S-DNBL and in all cases the S,R enantiomers are more strongly retained. Thus, it is possible to choose a CSP which resolves the K-region dihydrodiol enantiomers with a predictable elution order.
