The main reactions of 6-hydroxy-5,6-dihydrothymid-5-yl radicals, specifically obtained by electron capture dissociation of the trans diastereomers of 5-bromo-6-hydroxy-5,6-dihydrothymidine, were determined in aqueous solutions on the basis of final product analysis.In oxygen-free aqueous solutions a complex mixture of both monomeric and dimeric decomposition products was produced.It is worth mentioning the radiation-induced formation of modified nucleosides which involves the transient generation of 5-(2'-deoxyuridyl)methyl radical.This may be explained in terms of initial formation of 6-hydroxy-5,6-dihydrothymid-5-yl radicals, followed by dehydration and subsequent deprotonation.
