A new substance produced in the gamma irradiation of aerated aqueous solutions of cytosine was identified: 4-amino-1-formyl2-oxo-3,4- didehydroimidazolidine. Its properties were determined using mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance. A rupture followed by new ring formation involving the pyrimidine 5 and 6 sites is suggested. (FR)
