Synthesis of some new benzimidazole derivatives with their antioxidant activities

Abstract

In this paper, some benzimidazole derivatives containing salicyl, oxadiazole, thiosemicarbazide and 1, 2, 4-triazole moieties have been synthesized and screened their antioxidant activities screened. Antioxidant activities of the synthesized compounds were tested with DPPH and ABTS(center dot+) radical cation decolorization assays. Compounds 4b, 6a, 6b, 7a and 7b showed very good scavenging activity.
