| Abstract: | The major photoproduct formed between benzoa]pyrene and thymine is identified as 1-(benzoa]pyren-6-yl)-thymine by means of spectroscopic analysis and isotopic syntheses. Irradiation of 1-methylcytosine hydrochloride and anthracene gives two isolable photoproducts of which one is assigned the structure 5-(anthracen-9-yl)-1-methylcytosine. |
