Abstract
(Chemical Equation Presented) Oxidation of the DNA lesion 8-oxo-2′-deoxyguanosine by the two electron oxidants N,N′- ethylenebis(salicylideneanimato)oxochromium(V) (Cr(V)-salen) and bis(2-ethyl-2-hydroxybutyrato)oxochromium(V) (Cr(V)-ehba) at neutral pH forms spiroiminodihydantoin by an oxo-atom transfer mechanism. The chromium complexes are models of a DNA oxidation pathway caused by the carcinogen chromate.
