Electron Spin Resonance Study of Nitroxide Radicals from Diethylhydroxylamine, Dioctylhydroxylamine and N-Hydroxypyrrolidine

Abstract

WE present here the results of an electron spin resonance investigation of the free radicals formed from diethyl-hydroxylamine, dioctylhydroxylamine and N-hydroxypyrrolidine. Dioctylhydroxylamine was prepared by the method of Harris and Olcott1. Diethylhydroxylamine was obtained from Pennsalt Chemicals (85 per cent and 100 per cent) and from K and K Laboratories (85 per cent). N-Hydroxypyrrolidine was prepared by the method Wolfenstein2 used for N-hydroxypiperidne and by the method described by Blout3.
