Abstract

The main singlet molecular oxygen (^1^O~2~) oxidation products of free 2′‐deoxyguanosine (dGuo) in aqueous solution were identified as a pair of diastereomeric spiroiminodihydantoin 2′‐deoxyribonucleosides (dSp) together with 8‐oxo‐7,8‐dihydro‐2′‐deoxyguanosine (8‐oxodGuo). In the present work, evidence is provided from ^18^[^1^O~2~] and H~2~^18^O labeling experiments, using HPLC‐ESI‐MS/MS, that the formation of dSp is explained by the addition of water to a reactive quinonoid intermediate, and a second reaction pathway leading to dSp involves ^1^O~2~ oxidation of initially generated 8‐oxodGuo.
