Resumen *

The UV photolysis of 8-bromo-2´-deoxyadenosine has been investigated in different solvents and in the presence of additives like halide anions. Photolytic cleavage of the C-Br bond leads to formation of the C8 radical. In methanol, subsequent hydrogen abstraction from the solvent is the main radical reaction; however, in water or acetonitrile intramol. hydrogen abstraction from the sugar moiety, to give the C5´ radical, is the major path. This C5´ radical undergoes a cyclization reaction on the adenine and gives the aminyl radical. A rate const. of 1.8 105 s-1 has been measured by laser flash photolysis in CH3CN for this unimol. process. Product studies from steady-state photolysis in acetonitrile have shown the conversion of 8-bromo-2´-deoxyadenosine to 5´,8-cyclo-2´-deoxyadenosine in 65% yield and in a diastereoisomeric ratio (5´R) : (5´S) = 1.7. Evidence supporting that the equil. Br + Br- .dblharw. Br2- plays an important role in this synthetically useful radical cascade is obtained by regulating the relative concns. of the two reactive oxidizing species.
