Description

The identification and the yield of the main radiolysis products of thymine in aqueous solution saturated with N2O/O2 (3/1 V/V) have been carried out. The mechanism of the formation of the four isomeric 6 (5) hydroperoxy-5-(6)-hydroxy-5.6-dihydrothymine is discussed

Abstract (French)

La nature et le rendement radiochimique des principaux produits de degradation radio-induite de la thymine en solution aqueuse saturee avec N2O/O2 (3/1 V/V) ont ete determines. Le mecanisme de formation des hydroxyhydroperoxydes de thymine est presente et discute
