The photochem. reaction of 4-nitroindole and guanosine was studied with the transient absorption spectroscopy as guanine is an effective hole trap during the charge transfer in DNA, and 4-nitroindole is a universal base. Excitation of 4-nitroindole generates the lowest triplet excited state 4-nitroindole (3HN-NO2) within 10 ns in the quantum yield 0.41. 3HN-NO2 has increased basicity compared to its ground state. Consequently, its nitro group exhibits the hydrogen bond accepting ability. 3HN-NO2 can interact with guanosine (G) to form the hydrogen-bonded 3HN-NO2…G complex with the rate constant k = (8.7 卤 0.3)x109 M-1路s-1. The hydrogen-bonded complex is identified based on the blue shift evolvement of the absorption maximum of 3HN-NO2 in alc. solutions The reduction potential of 3HN-NO2 is Ered(3HN-NO2) = 1.23 V vs. SCE. The electron transfer occurs in the 3HN-NO2…G complex and generates G+bul and HN-NO2-鈥?followed by the proton transfer from N1 and N2 of G producing radicals HN-NO2H鈥? G(N1-H)鈥?and G(N2-H)鈥? In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 6-Nitro-1H-indole (cas: 4769-96-4Product Details of 4769-96-4).
6-Nitro-1H-indole (cas: 4769-96-4) belongs to indole derivatives. Indole exists overwhelmingly in the 1H-indole form as do other simple indoles. Due to this activity, the indole ring system has become an important component or intermediate in the synthesis of heterocycles.Product Details of 4769-96-4
