| Abstract: | Abstract— The photocycloaddition reaction of 4',5'-dihydropsoralen with thymine was carried out in solution and in the frozen state. A major photoadduct was isolated and characterized by elemental analysis and physical methods. The photoadduct was proven to be the 1:1 C4-cycloaddition product, an analogue of furocoumarin-DNA biadduct, with the stereochemistry of anti -head-to-head formed through 2+2 addition reaction between the pyrone double bond of 4', 5'-dihydropsoralenand 5,6-double bond of thymine. |
