Several aspects of spin trapping with 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane (MNP) were studied. Compounds produced from dimer MNP in aqueous solutions prepared for spin trapping were analyzed as t-butylnitrosohydroxylamine, t-butyl alcohol, and isobutene. The procedure for obtaining solutions containing the lowest concentrations of these products and the highest of monomer MNP with spin-trapping ability was established. The ESR signals of di-t-butyl-nitroxide in the light-irradiated aqueous MNP solution increased when the pH of the solution was raised. It was found that nitrous acid generated in the irradiated solution reacts with di-t-butylnitroxide and an unidentified compound, giving rise to a stable, positively charged diamagnetic intermediate. The production of the nitroxide from the intermediate caused by raising the pH might be relevant to the increase in ESR signals.
