(Chemical Equation Presented) We describe a novel trifluoroethanol (TFE) or hexafluoropropan-2-ol (HFP) mediated substitution reaction of the bay-region C10 acetoxy group in four stereoisomeric 7,8,9,10-tetraacetoxy-7,8,9, 10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrenes (tetraol tetraacetates, two pairs of cis and trans isomers at the 9,10 positions) by the exocyclic N2-amino group of O6-allyl-3′,5′-di-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-2′- deoxyguanosine (3). The tetraacetates are derived from cis and trans hydrolysis of (±)-7β,8α-dihydroxy-9β,10β-epoxy-7,8,9,10- tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P DE-1) and of (±)-7β,8α- dihydroxy-9α,10α-epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P DE-2) at C-10 followed by acetylation. Excellent yields and high regioselectivity were observed. Similar cis/trans product ratios were observed for each set of cis and trans tetraol tetraacetates derived from DE-1 (～75/25) and from DE-2 (～67/33) in HFP. This strongly suggests that the substitution proceeds via an SN1 mechanism involving a carbocation intermediate that is common to the cis and trans tetraacetates. Since it is likely that the cis and trans products from 3 arise from different conformations of the carbocation, its lifetime must be sufficiently long to permit conformational equilibration before its capture by the purine nucleophile. The corresponding reaction of (±)-9α-bromo-7β,8α,10β- triacetoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene with 3 in HFP was highly regio- and stereoselective and gave exclusively trans 10β-adducts. This newly developed substitution reaction provides an attractive alternative synthetic strategy for the preparation of polycyclic hydrocarbon adducted oligonucleotide building blocks.

The redox reactions of guanine and its widely studied oxidation product, the 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro derivative, are of significant importance for understanding the mechanisms of oxidative damage in DNA. Employing 2′-deoxyguanosine 5′-monophosphate (dGMP) and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG) in neutral aqueous solutions as model systems, we have used nanosecond laser flash photolysis to demonstrate that neutral radicals, dGMP(-H)?, derived by the one-electron oxidation and deprotonation of dGMP, can oxidize nitrite anions (NO2-) to the nitrogen dioxide radical ?NO2. In turn, we show that ?NO2 can give rise to a one-electron oxidation of 8-oxo-G, but not of dGMP. The one-electron oxidation of dGMP was initiated by a radical cation generated by the laser pulse-induced photoionization of a pyrene derivative with enhanced water solubility, 7,8,9,10-tetrahydroxytetrahydrobenzo[α]pyrene (BPT). The dGMP(-H)? neutral radicals formed via deprotonation of the dGMP?+ radical cations and identified by their characteristic transient absorption spectrum (λmax ～ 310 nm) oxidize nitrite anions with a rate constant of(2.6 ± 0.3) × 106 M-1 s-1. The 8-oxo-dG is oxidized by ?NO2 with a rate constant of (5.3 ± 0.5) × 106 M-1 s-1. The 8-oxo-dG(-H)? neutral radicals thus generated are clearly identified by their characteristic transient absorption spectra (λmax ～ 320 nm). The rate constant of 8-oxo-dG oxidation (k12) by the ?NO2 one-electron oxidant (the ?NO2/NO2- redox potential, E° ≈ 1.04 V vs NHE) is lower than k12 for a series of oxidizing aromatic radical cations with known redox potentials. The k12 values for 8-oxo-dG oxidation by different aromatic radical cations derived from the photoionization of their parent compounds depend on the redox potentials of the latter, which were in the range of 0.8-1.6 V versus NHE. The magnitude of k12 gradually decreases from a value of 2.2 × 109 M-1 s-1 (E° = 1.62 V) to 5.8 × 108 M-1 s-1 (E° = 1.13 V) and eventually to 5 × 107 M-1 s-1 (E° = 0.91 V). The implications of these results, including the possibility that the redox cycling of the ?NO2/NO2- species can be involved in the further oxidative damage of 8-oxo-dG in DNA in cellular environments, are discussed.
Halide effects in the hydrolysis reactions of (±)-7β,8α-dihydroxy- 9α, 10α-epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo-[α]pyrene

Rates of reaction of (±)-7β,8α-dihydroxy-9α,10α-epoxy-7,8,9,10- tetrahydrobenzo[α]pyrene (DE-2) have been determined in 1:9 dioxane-water solutions containing 1.0 M KC1, 0.5 M KBr, and 0.1 M NaI over the pH range 4- 13. These pH-rate profiles are more complicated than those for reaction of DE-2 in 0.2 M NaC1O4 solutions and are interpreted in part by mechanisms in which halide ion attacks the diol epoxide as a nucleophile at intermediate pH, resulting in the formation of a trans-halohydrin. Reaction of DE-2 in these halide solutions at pH - , 0.5 M Br-, and 0.1 M I- on DE-2 are the principal reactions in the pH range ca. 6-9, leading to intermediate trans-halohydrins that hydrolyze to tetrols. At pH ca. 9-11, halohydrin formed from attack of halide ion on DE-2 reverts back to epoxide, leading to a negative break in the pH-rate profile. The main product-forming reaction of DE-2 at pH 11.3 is the spontaneous reaction. At pH > 12, the rate of reaction of DE-2 increases due to a second- order reaction of HO- with DE-2.
