(This article belongs to the Special Issue Synthesis and Characterization of Heterocyclic Compounds)
A series of novel 1-(5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid derivatives containing chloro, hydroxyl, isopropyl, nitro, nitroso, and amino substituents at benzene ring and 1-(5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carbohydrazide derivatives bearing heterocyclic moieties were synthesized. Antioxidant activity of the synthesized compounds was screened by DPPH radical scavenging method and reducing power assay. A number of compounds were identified as potent antioxidants. Antioxidant activity of 1-(5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-(5-thioxo-4,5-dihydro-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)pyrrolidin-2-one has been tested to be 1.5 times higher than that of a well-known antioxidant ascorbic acid. 1-(5-Chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-(4-methyl-5-thioxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)pyrrolidin-2-one has shown 1.35 times higher antioxidant activity than that of vitamin C by DPPH radical scavenging method and optical density value of 1.149 in reducing power assay. The structure of 1-(5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-N-(1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxamide was unambiguously assigned by means of X-ray diffraction analysis data. View Full-Text
