The preparation and EPR spectral properties of a series of deuteriated nitroxides derived from 2,5-di-tert-butyl-3,4-dimethoxycarbonylpyrroloxyl is presented The nitroxides were deuteriated in the methyl ester moiety by means of transesterification with methanol-d(4) and in the tert-butyl groups via a multistep sequence starting from acetone-d(6). The EPR spectra were recorded after treatment of the corresponding hydroxylamines with NiOOH in benzene, and the linewidths compared with those of non-deuteriated and perdeuteriated commercial nitroxides. The fully deuteriated nitroxide 3d was found to have the narrowest linewidth so far recorded for a nitroxide, 11.3 mu T, and a nitrogen coupling constant of 0.44 mT (in benzene).
