Spin-trapping with 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane of the α-azidoalkyl radicals derived from isopropyl and benzyl azides competes effectively with loss of nitrogen from these radicals at 313 K.
Authentic versus alternative mechanisms in spin trapping. Formation of azide spin-adducts in biphasic and non-aqueous systems by the oxidation of azide anion with a variety of hydrazyl radicals

The formation of azide spin-adducts of a number of spin-traps, including PBN, DMPO, DEPMPO and TBNB, in biphasic and organic media has been studied by EPR spectroscopy. A series of hydrazyl radicals has been employed to oxidise the azide anion to the corresponding short-lived azido radical, which is subsequently trapped. The approach has typically involved the presence of the ether 18-crown-6 in order to facilitate the transport of the azide anion from water into the organic media, with further experiments in non-aqueous systems. The results can largely be rationalised in terms of a "conventional" spin-trapping mechanism, with an efficient that depends on the relevant redox potentials, which are themselves solvent dependent; however, conditions that favour direct oxidation of the trap have also been identified. It is also established that the azide spin-adducts of some nitrones can be transformed, under certain conditions, into secondary spin-adducts by nucleophilic substitution reaction of the first-formed nitroxides.

An overview of application of spin trapping to electrochemical investigations is presented.Cited studies include characterizations of primary electrode reaction products (e.g., electrooxidations of halide and pseudohalide species, electroreduction of N-methylpyridinium ion) as well as the identification of transient intermediates arising from homogeneous reactions which are electroinitiated.The validity of spatially resolved spin trapping as a probe in the investigation of interfacial processes is demonstrated with examples drawn both from the previously reported covalent attachment of nitrone derived spin traps to silaceous surfaces and from recent studies of spin trapping in micelle and vesicle systems.Amphiphilic nitrone spin traps have been shown to coassemble with both micelles and vesicles such that the nitrone functionality resides in the interfacial region of the ordered system.The ability of these interfacially localized nitrones to trap transient radicals generated both in the hydrophobic domain of the micelle or vesicle and in the aqueous exterior domain is demonstrated.
