Usage

Uses

Due to the highly toxic and potentially carcinogenic nature of 9-fluorobenzo[k]fluoranthene, its direct use in applications is limited. However, it may be encountered in the following industries and applications:
Used in Environmental Monitoring and Research:
9-Fluorobenzo[k]fluoranthene is used as a target analyte for environmental monitoring and research purposes to assess the levels of this pollutant in air, water, soil, and living organisms. Monitoring its presence helps in understanding the extent of environmental contamination and the potential risks to human health and ecosystems.
Used in Occupational Health and Safety:
In industries where the incomplete combustion of organic materials occurs, such as coal, oil, and gas production, 9-fluorobenzo[k]fluoranthene is used as a parameter for assessing occupational exposure to this hazardous compound. Regular monitoring and control measures are implemented to minimize workers' exposure and protect their health.
Used in Toxicology and Risk Assessment Studies:
9-Fluorobenzo[k]fluoranthene serves as a model compound in toxicology and risk assessment studies to investigate its adverse health effects, including developmental and reproductive toxicity, as well as potential carcinogenicity. These studies contribute to the development of regulations, guidelines, and preventive measures to mitigate the risks associated with exposure to this chemical.

Synthesis of Fluorinated Derivatives of Benzofluoranthene and Indenopyrene and 8,9-dihydro-8,9-epoxybenzofluoranthene

The synthesis of several select fluorinated derivatives of benzofluoranthene and indenopyrene is described.In the benzofluoranthene series, the 8- and 9-fluoro derivatives have been prepared by Wittig reaction of the 1,2-bis salt of the appropriate fluorobenzene with acenaphthenequinone under phase-transfer conditions.The synthesis of 2-fluoroindenopyrene was achieved by photocyclization of 1-(β,β-difluorovinyl)benzofluoranthene followed by dehydrofluorination in methanolic sodium methoxide.This represents a new method for the construction of the indenopyrene skeleton. 8,9-Difluoroindenopyrene was prepared from 1-(2-amino-4,5-diflurophenyl)pyrene by diazotization followed by coupling in the presence of copper-bronze.In addition to these fluorinated derivatives, the synthesis of 8,9-dihydro-8,9-epoxybenzofluoranthene, a suspect ultimate tumorigenic metabolite of benzofluoranthene, is reported.This arene oxide was prepared from the trans-8,9-bromo acetate by benzylic bromination and subsequent treatment with sodium methoxide in anhydrous THF.
