Abstract

Hydroxylation of thymine (1) to give thymine glycol (3) is remarkably promoted by the addition of nitro compounds (2a–f) in the γ-radiolysis of the N 2 O-saturated aqueous solution, although overall decomposition of 1 is depressed to some extent. The G-value of 3, increases linearly with increasing the one-electron reduction potential of 2a-f.
