Reaction of Br/sub 3/. /sup 2 -/ with 2-deoxy-D-ribose. A preferred attack at C-1

Abstract

In the photolysis of 5-bromouracil containing DNA Br atoms are expected intermediates. In order to evaluate the possible site of attack of the Br atom at the sugar moiety of DNA the reaction of 2-deoxy-D-Ribose with the Br atom (complexed with two bromide ions) was investigated. Hydroxyl radicals generated by the radiolysis of N/sub 2/O saturated aqueous solutions were converted into Br/sub 3/./sup 2 -/-radicals by 1 M bromide ions. Br/sub 3/./sup 2 -/-reacts with 2-deoxy-D-ribose (k = 3.7 x 10/sup 4/M/sup -1/s/sup -1/, pulse radiolysis). The major product is 2-deoxy-D-erythro-pentonic acid (G = 2.4, ..gamma..-radiolysis). It is formed by hydrogen abstraction from C-1 and oxidation of this radical by other radicals. An alternative route via the radical at C-2 is neglible. It follows that Br/sub 3/./sup 2 -/ reacts preferentially at C-1 of 2-deoxy-D-ribose.
