Abstract A series of novel pyrimidine-2-thiol derivatives (PM1-PM6) have been synthesized upon refluxing 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-phenyl substituted prop-2-en-1-one in presence of thiourea and glacial acetic acid. 1-(4nitrophenyl)-3-phenyl substituted prop-2-en-1-one were prepared by condensing 4-nitroacetophenone with substituted benzaldehydes in presence of 20% NaOH as base. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, 1H NMR and mass spectroscopic studies. Newly synthesized compounds were screened for their antioxidant studies. Most of the compounds exhibited excellent antioxidant activity compared to the standard drug ascorbic acid. Top Keywords Chalcones, pyrimidine, antioxidant activity. Top |
