The major metabolites of the carcinogen dibenz[a,j]acridine formed in rodent liver microsomal preparations were trans-3,4-dihydroxy-3,4-dihydrodibenz[a,j]acridine (DBAJAC-3,4-DHD) and dibenz[a,j]acridine 5,6-oxide (DBAJAC 5,6-oxide) [Gill et al. (1987) Carcinogenesis 8, 425-431]. The enantiomers of DBAJAC-3,4-DHD were prepared from the separable diastereoisomeric esters with
