Abstract
The chemical reactivity of styrene-7,8-oxide (SO), an alkylating agent with high affinity for the guanine-N7 position and a probable carcinogen for humans, with 4-(p-nitrobenzyl)pyridine (NBP), a trap for alkylating agents with nucleophilic characteristics similar to those of DNA bases, was investigated kinetically in water/dioxane media. UV-vis spectrophotometry and ultrafast liquid chromatography were used to monitor the reactions involved...
