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