Irradiation of pH 7, aqueous solutions of 5‐bromouracil (BU) in the presence of cysteine peptide‐like derivatives at 308 nm using a XeCl excimer laser yielded initial formation of only uracil (U) and the corresponding cystine derivative. Continued irradiation yielded an S‐uracilylcysteinyl adduct as well as additional U and cystine derivative. Similar irradiation of a solution of BU and a cystine derivative yielded initial formation of U and the S‐uracilylcysteinyl adduct. Formation of these products as well as secondary products of uracil photochemistry was observed upon irradiation of the respective solutions with 254 nm light. With 308 nm laser excitation, U‐Cys adduct formation and reduction of BU to U are proposed to occur via initial electron transfer from the disulfide of the cystine derivative to triplet BU. The quantum yield of BU destruction with 308 nm excitation in the presence of cystine derivative is 1.1 × 10‐3. Reaction of triplet BU with the cysteine derivative does not yield U‐Cys adduct but U and cystine derivative. A possible byproduct of reduction of triplet BU to U by a cysteinyl residue in a protein BU‐DNA complex is a sulphenyl bromide which might yield a protein‐DNA crosslinkvianucleophilic substitution on sulfur by a nucleophilic site in DNA.
