Oxidation of nucleic acid related compounds by the peroxodisulfate ion

The treatment of nucleic acid bases, nucleosides, and nucleotides with peroxodisulfate ion in a phosphate buffer solution at pH 7.0 or water at 70-75°C was investigated. The reaction of thymine and 5-methylcytosine nucleosides and nucleotides resulted in the oxidation of the 5-methyl groups. The oxidation products from 1,3-dimethyluracils and the time-course of the reaction of uracils led to two plausible reaction mechanisms for the oxidation of uracils.

Oxidation of Thymines and Uracils with Sodium Peroxodisulfate

Reaction of thymines with Na2S2O8 in water resulted in selective oxidation of the methyl group at 5-position of thymines.Oxidation of thymines with Na2S2O8 in hydrochloric acid gave 5-chloro-6-hydroxy-5,6-dihydrothymines and in acetic acid containing NaCl gave 6-acetoxy-5-chloro-5,6-dihydrothymines which were converted to 6-alkoxy-5-chloro-5,6-dihydrothymines with alcohols.The reaction of uracils also gave similar products together with 5-chlorouracils.
