Abstract: 

Data on the dependence of the antioxidant properties of the structure in the ranks of polyhydric phenols are poorly understood. This article focuses on the synthesis of structurally related series of alkylated catechol with using different approaches. Antiradical properties of synthesized 4-alkyl-and 3,5-dialkylcatechols were studied in the model reaction of AIBN-initiated oxidation of styrene at 50 ° C. In this regard, the received data have fundamental importance, and also interest to the development of new inhibitors of oxidation.

Keywords: 

phenolic antioxidants, alkylpyrocatechols, antioxidant activity
