Synthesis and Free Radical Scavenging Activity of New Hydroxybenzylidene Hydrazines.

Hydroxybenzylidene hydrazines exhibit a wide spectrum of biological activities. Here, we report synthesis and free radical scavenging activity of nine new N-(hydroxybenzylidene)-N'-[2,6-dinitro-4-(trifluoromethyl)]phenylhydrazines. The chemical structures of these compounds were confirmed by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, 19F-NMR, IR spectroscopy, LC-MS, and elemental analysis.

The Scavenging of DPPH, Galvinoxyl and ABTS Radicals by Imine Analogs of Resveratrol.

Resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene) is a phytoalexin produced by plants. Resveratrol is known for its anti-cancer, antiviral and antioxidant properties. We prepared imine analogs of resveratrol ((hydroxyphenyliminomethyl)phenols) and tested their antioxidant activity.

Antioxidative effect of some hydroxy substituted aromatic bisimines.

This work deals with antioxidative properties of some derivatives 4,4'-bis(dihydroxybenzylanilidenamino) diphenylmethanes and diphenylethers, which structure is similar to resveratrol. Four derivatives of above-mentioned compounds were synthesized with hydroxyl (OH) groups in various positions. It was found that derivatives with two OH groups in 2 and 5 positions were very good scavengers of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals in both methanol and chloroform.

Structure-acidity-IR spectra correlations for p-substituted N-phenylsulfonylbenzamides.

The wavenumbers of the IR absorption bands of the C=O, S=O and N-H stretching vibrations for a series of p-substituted N-phenylsulfonylbenzamides were measured in trichloromethane. The bond orders, Mulliken charges, charge densities and heats of formation were calculated using the PM3 method. Fifty significant mutual mono parameter (MP) and six dual parameter (DP) correlations were found for the IR spectral, theoretical structural data, substituent constants and previously reported dissociation constants in five polar organic solvents.
