The base degradation yields when aqueous solutions of uracil containing methyl, ethyl or t-butyl alcohol were γ-irradiated, were 2.0 ± 0.2, 4.2 ± 0.5 and 1.3 ± 0.1, respectively. These differences are attributed to differences in reactivity of CH2OH (I), CH3CHOH (II) and CH2(CH3)2COH (III) with uracil (U). III does not react with U whereas I and II react with U to form U– and aldehyde.
