Chemical Oxidation of Nitrated Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons: Hydroxylation with Superoxide Anion Radical

Nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (nitroPAH) is a potent mutagen which is reductively and/or oxidatively metabolized. Biological oxidation of nitroPAH, such as hydroxylation and epoxidation, is known, but chemical oxidation has been reported in only a few papers. NitroPAH is barely oxidized by various chemical oxidants because of the electron deficient property of the aromatic ring with the nitro substituent. Nucleophilic reactivity of superoxide anion radical is known, and thus the oxidation of nitroPAH with the chemically generated superoxide anion radical was carried out in this study. When 1-nitropyrene was reacted with KO2/18-crown-6 in dimethylformamide, 5-, 6-, 8-, and 9-hydroxy-1-nitropyrenes and 1-hydroxypyrene were obtained in preparative yields. Three isomeric dinitropyrenes, 3-nitrofluoranthene, 6-nitrobenzopyrene, and 6-nitrochrysene, were oxidized to hydroxy derivatives, some of which correspond to the oxidative metabolite of nitroPAH. The oxidation of dinitropyrenes with trifluoroperacetic acid gave K-region oxidized products.

The dibenzopyrenes (DBPs) are carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) found as environmental pollutants.DBP is the most potent carcinogenic PAH ever tested.To investigate the bioactivation of DBPs by one-electron oxidation, oxidation of DBP, DBP, DBP, DBP, and anthanthrene with Mn(OAc)3 was conducted and compared to that of benzopyrene (BP).All five DBPs produced monoacetoxy derivatives, and all of them except DBP also produced diacetoxy derivatives.Kinetic studies of the formation of monoacetoxy and diacetoxy derivatives of DBPs were carried out and the results were compared to those of the parent compound BP.DBP was similar to BP.DBP reacted inefficiently to form monoacetoxy and diacetoxy products.The other three DBPs resembled one another.These results provide preliminary essential information for studies of the bioactivation of the very potent carcinogen DBP to form DNA adducts.
