To study the reaction of the solvated electron with 5-bromouracil an aqueous solution has been examined by conductometric pulse radiolysis at pH values between 4.68 and 8.74. Alcohol was added to scavenge the hydrogen atom and the hydroxyl radical. G(Br—) = (2.64 ± 0.08)/100 eV was found to be independent of the pH. The mobility of the bromouracil mono-anion was measured to be (2.7 ± 0.2) 10-4 cm2 V-1 s-1 at 20°C, and the rate constant of reaction (3b) was determined to be k(H+ BrUr-) = (2.3 ± 0.2) 1010 I mole-1 s-1*.

The absorption spectra of transient species produced when dilute aqueous solutions of N-vinylpyrrolidin-2-one (vp) and poly(N- vinylpyrrolidin-2-one) (pvp) are subjected to pulse radiolysis in the presence and absence of radical scavengers have been obtained and compared with those obtained from analogous compounds. The precise structure of the transients has not been established. Rate constants for the reaction of the hydroxyl radical with vp and pvp have been evaluated both by a competition kinetic method and by direct observation of the build-up of transient species: k(vp+·OH) = (6.4-8.1) × 109 dm3 mol-1 s-1 and k(pvp+·OH) = (1.5-2.3) × 108 dm3 mol-1 s-1 at 25°C. The rate constant for the reaction of the hydrated electron with vp has been determined as(1.6�0.3) × 109 dm3 mol-1 s-1 at 25°C. Rate constants for decay of the transient species have also been evaluated at 25°C: 2k(vp- OH·) = (8.1�1.0)× 108 dm3 mol-1 s-1; 2k(vp-e-) = (1.7�0.2) × 109 dm3 mol-1 s-1 and 2k(pvp-OH·) = (1.5�0.2) × 108 dm3 mol-1 s-1.

Abstract The major radiation-induced degradation products of 5,6-dihydrothymine (1) in aqueous solutions saturated either with O2 or N2O/O2 (75/25 v/v) were identified as thymine (10), the trans-and cis-isomers of 6-hydroperoxy-5,6-dihydrothymine (5, 7), 5-hydroperoxy-5,6-dihydrothymine (9), and their corresponding hydroxy derivatives (4, 6, 8). The formation of these compounds is explained in terms of initial H-abstraction from the C(5) and C(6) carbons which gives rise respectively to the transient 5-yl and 6-yl radicals. Thymine hydroxy-hydroperoxides (11-14) and their decomposition products (17-20), which are derived from hydroxyl radical attack at the 5,6-ethylenic bond of thymine (10), were also characterized.
