Introduction

The benzofuran nucleus and derivatives occupy a position of considerable significance for widespread occurrence in plants and their potential as important pharmaceuticals. It has also been reported that benzofuran derivative possess bacteriostatic, bactericidal, fungistatic, fungicidal activities. The natural products possessing benzofuran nucleus are frequently associated with useful pharmacological properties. This fact created interest in synthetic products containing benzofuran nucleus. Kreamer and Spilker discovered benzofuran in coal tar. It was synthesized by Perkin in 1870. Thus the chemistry of benzofuran has developed in a spectacular fashion during the last several years. The voluminous work accumulated in this area is based on one or the following lines.

  1. Isolation, structural elucidation and synthesis of various natural products of plant origin enclosing benzofuran nucleus.
  2. Synthesis of benzofuran derivatives with biological, pharmacological, therapeutic or toxic properties.
  3. Study of physicochemical properties of both synthetic and natural benzofuran compounds. [1-6]

MATERIAL AND METHOD

All the chemical used were procured from Qualingens, Himedia and Loba-chemicals. Purity of starting materials used for reaction was confirmed by checking their melting point or boiling point and by thin layer chromatography.

All the reactions were monitored using thin layer chromatography. The appropriate mobile phase (solvent systems) as applicable were developed using ‘silica gel G’ as stationary phase. Melting point were determined in open capillary tube using PRECISION MELTING POINT APPARATUS and uncorrected. FT-IR (KBr) spectra were recorded on “SHIMADZU FT-IR 8400S” spectrophotometer.  1H NMR spectra of synthesized compound were recorded on “FTNMR BRUCKER” spectrometer  at 300 MHz frequency in DMSO using TMS as  internal standard (chemical shift ? ppm) at Shimadzu Analytical Centre and NMR facility, Dept. of  Chemistry, IIsc Bangalore. Mass spectra were recorded on “SHIMADZU GC-MS QP-5050” instrument by direct injection method at Shimadzu Analytical Centre, Dept. of Chemistry, University of Pune. Purity of compounds was checked on “Silica Gel G” coated on laboratory micro slides prepared by dipping method or precoated plates, eluent was the mixture of different polar and non-polar solvents in varying proportions and detection was done either by observing in UV (ultra-violet) light or exposure to iodine vapours as required. The absence of TLC spots for starting materials and appearance of new TLC spot at different Rf value ensured the completion of reaction.

The products of all the reactions were purified initially by different workup process to remove unreacted starting materials if any and then by recrystallization using suitable solvent. The absence of any impurity of starting materials or possible by product was ensured by performing qualitative organic analytical tests for various functional groups. All the compounds were prepared by standard methods as outlined in the Scheme.

In  500 ml 3-necked round bottom flask charged with 160 ml water 50 ml pure acetone, 37.2 ml glacial acetic acid. The reaction mixture was warmed to a temperature of 60-700 C  inside temperature. It was kept under stirring magnetically. one of the neck was  connected to quick fit dropping funnel and few ml (2.3 ml) added drop wise initially the reaction mixture was  exposed to lamp until the reaction mixture was initiated (disappearance of bromine colour) then the addition of bromine continued while observing disappearance of bromine colour after complete reaction the reaction mixture was stirred for a further period of 30-60 min. The reaction mixture was poured in ice cool water. It was neutralized by addition of solid Sodium carbonate little by little. The oil separated after neutralization it was extracted with ether. Ether extract was dried over anhydrous calcium chloride. The clear ether solution was decanted into another dry conical flask and evaporated on hot water bath residual oil of removal ether and unreacted acetone the product is bromoacetone. It was stored in Amber colored bottle. [7-9]

Antioxidant Study of Derivatives

There are number of in vitro methods to measure the efficiency of antioxidants either as pure compounds or as plant extracts. In vitro methods can be divided into two major groups: 1) Hydrogen atom transfer reactions like Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC), Total radical trapping antioxidant potential (TRAP) and  carotene bleaching; 2) Electron transfer reactions like trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC), Ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), diphenyl- -picryl-hydrazyl radical scavenging assay (DPPH), Superoxide anion radical scavenging assay, Hydroxyl radical scavenging assay, Nitric oxide radical scavenging assay and Total phenol assay. These methods are popular due to their high speed and sensitivity.

DPPH Assay

Procedure

The DPPH assaying of compounds   VI-d and VI-e was performed using Trolox as reference compound. 0.01mg/mL solution of DPPH in methyl alcohol was prepared and 1ml was transferred to 4 ml of sample in methyl alcohol to obtain divers dilution (0.5, 1.0, 3.0, 5.0, 7.0 mg/mL) Absorbance was noted and compared to blank at wavelength  max 517 nm by UV- Visible spectrophotometer. The radical scavenging capacity was articulating in IC 50 . In the presence of antioxidants, DPPH generates a violet/purple color in methanol solution and diminishes to shades of yellow. [15]

RESULT AND DISCUSSION-

All the reactions were monitored by TLC, structures and purity of the anticipated compounds were characterize by physical constant and FTIR spectral studied. Absence of TLC spots for starting materials and appearance of new TLC spot at different Rf value were ensured to declare completion of reaction. The TLC plates were visualized either by Iodine vapours or by viewing in UV-Visible chamber. The reaction products of all the reactions were purified by different workup processes to remove unreacted starting materials if any and then by recrystallisation using suitable solvents. Most of the steps were optimized in order to achieve quantitative yields i.e. more than 70% yields. The FT-IR in KBr (cm-1) spectra of compound 3, indicated decrease in band strength of  C=O (1664) due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding and specific band of C=C at 1588, C-O-C at 1080  thus confirming the formation of 2-Acetyl benzofuran. The FT-IR in KBr (cm-1) spectra of compound 4 showing bands at 1583.23 (Ar-CH), 1088 (C-O-C), 828.42 (C-Br), 1345. The FT-IR in KBr (cm-1) spectra of compound 5 showing a characteristic band at 3315.90 (–NH2) which confirms the attachment of  thiourea and formation of 2-amino-4-(benzofuran-2-yl) thiazole  Final derivatives showed the expected bands for the characteristic groups which are present in the compounds such as-C-N and C-O-C bands. Formation of new peaks at around 3000, 600-800 confirms the formation of derivatives.

Antioxidant activity was also performed by using DPPH method the intensity of colour compound was measured by using UV-Visible spectrophotometer.
