— In contrast with previous reports from other laboratories, four isomeric dimers were isolated from the photochemical reaction of thymine sensitized by either acetone or propiophenone. Product analyses, made by use of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, showed that the distribution of dimers is dependent on the character of the solvent medium. Mass spectra for all four dimers were obtained and are here presented.
