After selective generation of the mononucleotide radical 1 , the formation and reactions of radical cation 2 could be studied. Trapping with allyl alcohol, which is known to trap both cations and radicals, gave primarily the bicyclic product 3 . With methanol several intermediates could be trapped, the hydrolysis products of which correspond to DNA cleavage products. 4′‐Deoxyribonucleotide radicals are proposed as intermediates in radical‐induced DNA strand scission. ℗ P(O)(OEt) 2 , b thymine.
