Abstract
Abstract The reactions of SO4−• radicals with cytosine and its derivatives have been studied in dilute aqueous solutions. The results show that the nature of the group attached to N-1 of the base greatly influences the reaction sequences. Presence of copper(II) ions greatly affects the reaction pathways, where it is observed that the substrate consumption increases drastically indicating initiation of some chain reactions. Release of unaltered base from cytidine and deoxycytidine also increases under these conditions.
