Reactivity of 5,6-dihydro-5-hydroxythymid-6-yl-generated via photoinduced single electron transfer and the role of cyclohexa-1,4-diene in the photodeoxygenation process

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ja00122a021

The major reactive species formed via reaction of hydroxyl radical and the pyrimidine nucleoside thymidine, 5,6-dihydro-5-hydroxythymid-6-yl (1), is generated photochemically under anaerobic conditions from 6 via photoinduced single electron transfer. Und
