Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can damage DNA. Although a number of single nucleobase lesions induced by ROS have been structurally characterized, only a few intrastrand cross-link lesions have been identified and characterized, and all of them involve adj

[formula: see text] The title exocyclic radical (2) is generated via photochemical cleavage of 5-(phenylthiomethyl)-2'-deoxyuridine (8). The latter thionucleoside (8) was successfully incorporated into DNA oligomers by automated DNA synthesis using phosphoramidite chemistry. UV exposure of 8 containing oligonucleotides under (an)aerobic conditions gives rise to specific base lesions. The photoproducts have been isolated and further characterized on the basis of detailed NMR and mass spectrometric analyses.
