Synthesis and Antioxidant Activity of Styrylsulfonylmethyl 1,3,4-Oxadiazoles, Pyrazolyl/Isoxazolyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles

A new class of mono and bis heterocycles-styrylsulfonylmethyl 1,3,4-oxadiazoles, pyrazolyl/isoxazolyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles were prepared and studied their antioxidant activity. The compound methyl substituted 2-(p-methylphenylamino-sulfonylmethyl)-5-[Z-(p-methylstyrylsulfonylmethyl)]-1,3,4-oxadiazole displayed slightly higher antioxidant activity than the standard ascorbic acid.
