Abstract

We report the synthesis and use of d(2)-N-15 isotopically-labelled 3,5-dibromo-4-nitrosobenzenesulphonic acid (DBNBS-d(2)-N-15, as its sodium salt), a spin-trap possessing several advantages over non-labelled DBNBS. The simplification in the electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of radical adducts of DBNBS-d(2)-N-15 compared with those of DBNBS not only results in increased sensitivity, but also facilitates the assignment and analysis of complex spectra. An example of this simplification is given.
