Abstract

Nitroxyl radicals are known to electrochemically oxidize thiols as well as alcohols and amines. In this study, a preliminary investigation of the electrochemical reaction of thiols with 9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane N-oxyl (ABNO), 2-azaadamantane N-oxyl (AZADO), and nortropine N-oxyl (NNO), which are highly active due to their bicyclo structures, for use in electrochemical analysis was performed and the results were compared with those for a typical nitroxyl radical compound, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine N-oxyl (TEMPO). Mercaptopropane sulfonic acid (MPS) was used as a model compound to investigate the electrochemical response in aqueous solution. In addition, electrochemical detection of glutathione, a biological thiol molecule, was performed.
