Popis: Synthesis of bis-spiro-oxetane and bis-spiro-tetrahydrofuran pyrroline nitroxide radicals relies on the Mitsunobu reaction-mediated double cyclizations of N-Boc protected pyrroline tetraols. Structures of the nitroxide radicals are supported by X-ray crystallography. In a trehalose/sucrose matrix at room temperature, the bis-spiro-oxetane nitroxide radical possesses electron spin coherence time, Tm ≈ 0.7 μs. The observed enhanced Tm is most likely associated with strong hydrogen bonding of oxetane moieties to the trehalose/sucrose matrix.
