The radicals produced during γ radiolysis of methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, and t-butanol have been trapped by reaction with 2-nitroso-2-methylpropane (t-nitrosobutane) to give nitroxides which are detected by e.s.r.[Formula: see text]All the alcohols gave alkoxy radicals and, with the exception of t-butanol, radicals derived by the loss of an H atom from the carbon atom adjacent to the OH group. Methyl radicals were detected in t-butanol.

The electron spin resonance spin-trapping method has been used for detection of radicals in human low density lipoprotein (LDL) solution saturated with oxygen. The trapped radicals could be detected after about a day in an antioxidant-free solution. Two types of radicals are formed and stabilized in the lipid domain of LDL. The nature of the trapped radicals remains unclear:kinetic considerations suggest the trapped radicals to be of the LO- type, while the spectroscopic parameters are in favour of L- type radicals.

Intermediates formed during radioylsis of benzyl alcohol have been identified by an e.s.r. and spin trapping method. Solutions of tert-BuNO in benzyl alcohol were irradiated insitu with 3 MeV electrons and the e.s.r. spectra of the resulting nitroxides directly recorded.[Formula: see text]These demonstrated that benzyl, PhCH2.,and hydroxybenzyl, PhĊHOH, radicals are formed in the radiolysis. By an examination of the effects of the addition of electron scavengers, it was shown that the benzyl radicals are probably directly formed from the reaction of electrons with benzyl alcohol. Since these scavengers had no effect on the yield of PhĊHOH trapped, this radical is not derived from the reactions of electrons. It is suggested that it is partly produced by reaction of the alkoxy radical, PhCH2O.,with the solvent benzyl alcohol.[Formula: see text]
