α-Halo and α-cyano pyridiniums were found to undergo facile hydrolysis, in contrast to the sluggish reactions of corresponding uracils. The greatly enhanced rates found with pyridinium compounds have indicated a possible source of the rate acceleration seen in the hydrolysis of 6-cyanouridine 5'-monophosphate catalyzed by orotidine 5'-monophosphate decarboxylase.
与相应尿嘧啶的缓慢反应形成对比的是,人们发现α-卤代吡啶鎓和α-氰基吡啶鎓易于发生水解。吡啶鎓化合物反应速率的大幅提高表明,在乳清苷5'-单磷酸脱羧酶催化的6-氰基尿苷5'-单磷酸水解中观察到的速率加速可能有一个来源。
