A novel dihydroxy-substituted aminoxyl spin label, 4-hydroxy-3-(3'-hydroxypropyl)-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxy (5), has been prepared. From this aminoxyl radical, a spin-labeled crown ether, 16,16,18,18-tetramethyl-2,5,8,11-tetraoxa-17-azabicyclo[ 13,4,0]-nonadecane-17-oxy (12), and a spin-labeled cyclic diester, 16,16,18,18-tetramethyl-3,10-dioxo-2,5,8,11-tetraoxa-17-azabicyclo[13,4,o]nonadecane-17-oxy (13), have been acquired. Other four new stable aminoxyl radicals 8,9,10, and 11 have also been obtained within the synthetic approach. It has been demonstrated that the cyclic ether compound (7) is generated by the reduction of its corresponding lactone which is sidely derived from the oxo-reduced species of 3 by intramolecular cyclization.
