Abstract
Cyclopenta[cd]pyrene 3,4-oxide (2) has been synthesized in a one-step, quantitative reaction using dimethyldioxirane. The oxide, or its ther mal rearrangement products cyclopenta[cd]pyren-3(4H)-one and cyclopent a[cd]pyren-4(3H)-one, is formed from cyclopenta[cd]pyrene (1) under si mulated environmental conditions. In one case these products are forme d when 1 is adsorbed on model particulates and then exposed to the rea ction products of tetramethylethylene and ozone in the gas phase.
