UV irradiation of a model "activated ester" of the oncogen 3-hydroxyxanthine induced homolytic cleavage of the N-O bond and gave products arising by reduction of as well as by recombination of the solvent caged amidyl radical intermediate. Identification of the latter product constitutes the first evidence that a distinct product associated specifically with a radical from an acyloxypurine can be formed. The absence of this product among those formed spontaneously from 3-acetoxyxanthine provides the first indication that an amidyl radical is not an intermediate in the spontaneous reactions of N-acyloxy purines.
