The reduction of 5-uracilylmethylenepyridinium salts by benzyl thiols, to the corresponding thymine derivatives, involves an exocyclic methylene intermediate, which appears to be reduced by a radical mechanism. The overall reaction constitutes a mechanistic model of the reduction step of the thymidylate synthase reaction.
