N,N-Bis(1-methylethyl)-2-(1-naphthalenyl)-benzamide is an intermediate of 7H-Benzo[c]fluorene, which is a polycyclic aomatic hydrocarbon (PAH) with mutagenic activity. 7H-Benzo[c]fluorene is a major DNA adduct-forming component of coal tar. Recent studies suggest that 7H-Benzo[c]fluorene may be capable of inducing lung tumors.
