By use of the technique of pulse radiolysis with optical detection, the isomer distribution of the radicals formed in aqueous solution by addition of OH radicals to cytosine, 5-methylcytosine, 5-carboxylcytosine, 3-methylcytosine, 1-methylcytosine, cytidine, 5-methylcytidine, cytidylic acid, 2''-deoxycytidine, 2''-deoxycytidylic acid and 2-amino-4-hydroxy-6-methylpyrimidine was determined by utilizing differences between the isomeric OH adducts with respect to electron-transfer reactions with the reductant N,N,N''N''-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD) or the oxidant tetranitromethane (TNM). The radicals Cy-5-OH, formed by addition of OH to C(5) of cytosine (87% of the OH radicals), 3- and 5-methylcytosine (92 and 65%, respectively), 5-carboxylcytosine (82%) and 2-amino-4-hydroxy-6-methylpyrimidine (95%) reduce TNM to yield nitroform anion. The radicals Cy-6-OH, formed by addition to C(6), oxidize TMPD to yield TMPD+.cntdot.. The Cy-5-OH radicals undergo a base-catalyzed dehydration reaction to yeild radicals that are able to oxidize TMPD to yield TMPD+.cntdot.. In the case of cytosine, the dehydrated OH adduct is identical with the 1-electron oxidation product from the reaction of cytosine with SO4-.cntdot. and the pKa of this radical is 9.6. If N(1) of the pyrimidine ring is substituted as with 1-methylcytosine, cytidine, cytidylic acid, 2''-deoxycytidine and 2''-deoxycytidiylic acid, no dehydration reactions of the OH adducts occur. In contrast, substitution by alkyl at N(3) does not inhibt the dehydration reaction of the corresponding Cy-5-OH radical. In the presence of O2 the Cy-5-OH and Cy-6-OH radicals are converted into peroxyl radicals which oxidize TMPD with rate constants of 1.6 .times. 108 M-1 s-1. In basic solution these peroxyl radicals decompose, presumably by elimination of O2-.cntdot.. With 5-methylcytosine a peroxyl radical derived from the radical formed by H abstraction from the methyl group is additionally observed. It contributes .simeq. 10% of the production of TMPD+.cntdot.. With the cytosine nucleosides and nucleotides the probability of OH attack at the cytosine molecule is > 80%.
