Synthesis and antioxidant activity study of carbothioamide and their corresponding thiazole derivatives

A novel series of 5-(p-(prop-2-ynyloxy)phenyl)-3-aryl-4,5-dihydropyrazole-1-carbothioamides 2a-f and functionalized 2-(3-(aryl)-5-(4-(prop-2-ynyloxy)phenyl)-4,5-dihydropyrazol-1-yl)-4-(3-arylsydnone-4-yl)thiazoles 4a-l were synthesized. The newly synthesized compounds were elucidated by analytical and spectral analysis. From the single-crystal X-ray diffraction method, it was observed that 2d crystallizes in a monoclinic crystal system with P21/n space group. The compounds 2d crystallized with cell parameters a = 15.0614 (19) Å, b = 6.0805 (7) Å, c = 20.903 (7) Å, α = 114.136 (6)^o, β = 110.709 (14) ^o, γ = 96.553 (5) ^o, V = 1790.6 (4) ų, Z = 4. From the Hirshfeld surface computational method, the major intercontacts present in these molecules are H…H (31.6%), C…H (18.2%) and S…H (12.2%), respectively. The newly synthesized compounds were tested for their ability to bleach 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical using DPPH scavenging assay. Among the synthesized compounds carbothioamide compounds 2c (90.7%) and 2b (89.8%) exhibited good DPPH scavenging activity compared to the rest of the compounds. Most of the synthesized carbothioamide molecules ( 2a-f ) found to be potent compared to the thiazole derivatives ( 4a-l ).
