Irradiation with white light or monochromatic light at 366 nm causes the cleavage of the uracil dimer 1 at the cyclobutane moiety, providing that the flexin units are reduced prior to the reaction. This cleavage reaction of model compounds such as 1 forms the basis of DNA photolyase mediated DNA repair.
