R. Sato et al., SYNTHESES AND SPIN TRAPPINGS OF 3-HYDROXYMETHYL-5,5-DIMETHYL-1-PYRROLINE N-OXIDE AND 3-(3-HYDROXYPROPYL)-5,5-DIMETHYL-1-PYRROLINE N-OXIDE, Chemistry Letters, (10), 1997, pp. 1059-1060
New nitrones of 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO)-type, 3-hydrox
ymethyl-5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (3HM-DMPO) and 3-(3-hydroxypr
opyl)-5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (3HP-DMPO), were synthesized an
d tested for the ability in radical trapping of oxygen-centered radica
ls, 3HM-DMPO trapped superoxide but did not hydroxyl radicals, whereas
3HP-DMPO served as a trap for both radicals.
