Abstract: | The synthesis of four isomeric nitro derivatives of methyldiazaphenanthrenes (DAP) has been described. The UV spectra of these compounds have been recorded and compared with those of parent diazaphenanthrenes. The biological data of methylnitrodiazaphenanthrenes and of other derivatives of diazaphenanthrenes are presented.
