The field of free radicals in biology has its origins in a series of publications in the late 1960s in which the secretion of superoxide (O2•-) during the enzymic cycling of xanthine oxidase was first described. 1 Soon thereafter, a Cu/Zn-containing enzyme was found to disproportionate this free radical into O2 and H2O2. 2 This enzyme, which became known as superoxide dismutase (SOD), has played a pivotal role in defining the ubiquitous nature of O2•-and other free radicals generated from O2•-. 3 In the intervening years, a variety of methods have been developed to detect free radicals in biological milieu. Of those, spin trapping/EPR spectroscopy is singular in its ability to characterize specific free radicals, generated in situ, and identified in animal models in real time. 4 Based on our earlier success at identifying HO• in irradiated leg tumors of mice, 5 we have become particularly interested in syntheses of newer spin traps that would allow the in vivo in situ detection of HO• under other experimental paradigms. During the course of our investigations, we have studied the specificity of 3-substituted 5, 5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxides and a number of imidazoline N-oxides toward HO•. 6 Recently, however, a publication caught our fancy7 in which 2-(2-pyridyl)-3H-indol-3-one N-oxide 4 was reported to spin trap HO•. The corresponding spin trapped adduct, 2-hydroxy-2-(2-pyridyl)-3H-indol-3-on-1-oxyl (11), exhibited remarkable stability when compared to the shorter lifetime of 3-hydroxy-5, 5-dimethyl-1-pyrrolin-1-oxyl (13). 7 However, enthusiasm for such robustness must be tempered by the fact that 4, by lacking a hydrogen atom at the R-carbon, has lost one of the strengths of spin trapping, additional hyperfine splittings that can aid in the characterization of the parent free radical. 8 Despite this, there are a number of experimental paradigms that would greatly benefit from readily available sources of 2-aryl-3H-indol-3-one N-oxides.There have been a number of synthetic approaches to 2-aryl-3H-indol-3-one N-oxides, including 2-(2-pyridyl)-3H-indol-3-one N-oxide (see, for instance, Schemes 1 and 2). However, multistep pathways, especially those in which intermediates are exposed to sunlight to obtain the desired product, have often resulted in poor yields of the coveted nitrone. 9
