Pyrrolyl‐1‐oxyl, 3‐phenylpyrrolyl‐1‐oxyl and a number of deuterium‐substituted derivatives were generated by hydrogen abstraction from the corresponding N ‐hydroxypyrroles, and observed by EPR spectroscopy. They were all transient with lifetimes ≤ 10 −2 s. The hyperfine splittings showed that unpaired spin was delocalized around the five‐membered ring with significant density at N‐1, C‐3 and C‐4, but very low density at C‐2 and C‐5. N ‐Hydroxpyrrole and pyrrolyl‐1‐oxyl were studied by the semi‐empirical AM1 method, and the radical by the INDO method. The transient pyrrolinyl‐1‐oxyl was also generated from the corresponding N ‐hydroxypyrroline and observed by EPR spectroscopy.
