The reactions of cellular substances with ozone is one of the most important subjects in ozone chemistry. Although the ozonization reactions of DNA and RNA are of interest in connection with damage to biological systems, these reactions have received only limited attention. With pyrimidine nucleotides, ozone preferentially attacks the base moieties. Recently, the ozonolysis of uracils to give 1-acyl-5-hydroxyhydantoins has been reported. In order to obtain new substituted 1-acyl-5-hydroxyhydantoins, substituent effects on the ozonolysis of uracils were examined.
