(6-4) Photolesions between adjacent pyrimidine DNA bases are prone to secondary photochemistry. It has been shown that singlet excited (6-4) moieties form Dewar valence isomers as well as triplet excitations. We here report on the triplet state of a minimal model for the (6-4) photolesion, 1-methyl-2(1 H )-pyrimidinone. Emphasis is laid on its ability to abstract hydrogen atoms from alcohols and carbohydrates. Steady-state and time-resolved experiments consistently yield bimolecular rate constants of ∼10^4 M^−1 s^−1 for the hydrogen abstraction. The process also occurs intramolecularly as experiments on zebularine (1-(β- d -ribofuranosyl)-2(1 H )-pyrimidinone) show.
