Zusammenfassung
In DMSO solution, anthralin and its C-10 monosubstituted derivatives reduce nitroxides to the corresponding hydroxylamine derivatives, which are not further transformed. The reaction rate depends on the solvent used, the nitroxide, and the structure of the reducer. It is faster in DMSO than in DMF, piperidine type of nitroxides are reduced faster than the pyrrolidine type, and the substitution on ...

In DMSO solution, anthralin and its C-10 monosubstituted derivatives reduce nitroxides to the corresponding hydroxylamine derivatives, which are not further transformed. The reaction rate depends on the solvent used, the nitroxide, and the structure of the reducer. It is faster in DMSO than in DMF, piperidine type of nitroxides are reduced faster than the pyrrolidine type, and the substitution on C-10 of anthralin has a significant influence on the reaction rate. Anthralin derivatives without protons at C-10 are not able to reduce nitroxides.
