James D. McGhee and Peter H. von Hippel* abstract: We describe the equilibrium and kinetic as-pects of the formaldehyde reaction with the endocyclic imino groups of derivatives of thymine, uracil, and a series of halogenated uracils, as well as poly (uridylic acid) and poly (inosinic acid). The main results are:(i) the equilibri-um constants for forming a hydroxymethyl adduct remain quite constant at about2-2.5 (/-1) for all the compounds studied, independent of their pK;(ii) both forward and reverse rate constants with 5'-TMP are specific base cata-lyzed in the pH range of about 4-9;(iii) the response of the rate constants to temperature andto several solvent addi-tives are measured;(iv) at neutral pH, for the series of py-rimidine compounds, a linear free energy relation is observed between the logarithm of both the. forward and the reverse rate constant and the pK for deprotonation;(v) the
