Abstract

A simple and direct arylation of sesamol with aryl halides by a photoinduced reaction is reported. Five 6-arylsesamol derivatives were synthesized in order to evaluate possible changes in their antioxidant properties as a function of the C6 aryl substituent nature. Extension of the procedure to the reaction with o-dihalobenzenes leads to the synthesis of ring-closure products bearing a tetracyclic aromatic condensed ring system, although in lower overall yields (~45 %). The antioxidant activity of the synthetic derivatives towards 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical was determined taking sesamol as the reference compound. In addition, the relationship between the antiradical activities of these molecules against this radical and the bond dissociation energies of their phenolic O–H group was calculated using computational chemistry methods.

[28]  The solvent effect was modelled with Tomasi’s polarized continuum model (PCM) (S. Miertus, E. Scrocco, J. Tomasi, Chem. Phys.1981, 55, 117; S. Miertus, J. Tomasi, Chem. Phys. 1982, 65, 239; M. Cossi, B. Barone, R. Camini, J. Tomasi, Chem. Phys. Lett. 1996, 255, 327). The solvent effect was evaluated from single-point PCM calculations on the gas-phase optimized geometries at the B3LYP/6–31G* theory level, electrostatic and non-electrostatic contributions being considered. In the PCM model, the solvent is represented as a polarizable continuum (with dielectric constant ϵ) surrounding the molecular complex at an interface constructed by combining atomic van der Waal radii with the effective probe radius of the solvent. Charges are allowed to develop on this interface according to the electrostatic potential of the solute and ϵ, then the polarized reaction field of the solvent is taken into account in the quantum mechanical description of the solute. The wave function of the complex is relaxed self-consistently with the reaction field to solve the Poisson–Boltzmann (PB) equations. Solvent was represented with the following parameters: dielectric constant and probe radius.
