Novel Quinolone Derivatives: Synthesis and Antioxidant Activity.

Novel quinolone derivatives have been designed and readily synthesized according to a simple protocol including -alkylation and Claisen rearrangement processes. Structures of the synthesized compounds have been confirmed by IR, H and C NMR, and mass spectra. The new products have been tested for their antioxidant activity, and two of those demonstrate high antioxidant activity.
