Treatment of 1,3-dimethyluracil (1) with sodium peroxodisulfate in water at 80 degrees C under nitrogen gave 5-hydroxy-1,3-dimethyluracil (6) as a main product. Under similar conditions, oxidation of 5-fluoro-1,3-dimethyluracil (2) gave a 6,6'-dimeric compound (10) together with other products. Similar oxidation of 5-bromo-1,3-dimethyluracil (3) and 1,3,6-trimethyluracil (4) was also investigated. Furthermore, reaction of 1,3-dimethylthymine (5) and adenine in the presence of sodium peroxodisulfate gave coupling products (12) and (13).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
