Notes:
A polymethacrylate derivative containing 6-cyanouracil was prepared, and its photochemical reaction was studied. The 6-cyanouracil derivative was found to show high reactivity for the photochemiccal reaction. The photochemical-reaction product was identified as a cyclobutanetype photodimer, and the photodimer was formed in high yield even from the monomeric compound of 6-cyanouracil under UV irradiation in low concentration. The quantum yield of the photodimerization of the 6-cyanouracil derivative was greater than that of the thymine derivative. The photodimerization of the 6-cyanouracil derivative could not be quenched by usual triplet quenchers, but was found to be quenched by the polymeric derivative of adenine, suggesting a specific interaction.
