Cp. Sar et al., SYNTHESIS OF ALPHA-ARYL N-ADAMANT-1-YL NITRONES AND USING THEM FOR SPIN-TRAPPING OF HYDROXYL RADICALS, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 8(4), 1998, pp. 379-384
alpha-Aryl N-adamant-1-yl nitrones were synthesized and evaluated with
respect to the stability of the hydroxyl radical adduct. The polarity
and water solubility of nitrones were altered with changing the alpha
-aryl groups. Introduction of adamantane ring instead of tert-butyl gr
oup resulted in a reasonable good stability of hydroxyl radical adduct
for biological measurements. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All right
