The spin-probe labeling technique has been applied to DNA and offers the po
ssibility of studying antisense agents in cells. Simpler syntheses of spin-
probes for incorporation into DNA would facilitate this. Here, we describe
the synthesis of a new spin probe that requires half the number of steps of
related 5 ring nitroxide.
