Abstract

3-Alkyl(aryl)-4-amino-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones 2a-g reacted with 4-diethylaminobenzaldehyde to afford the corresponding 3-alkyl(aryl)-4-(4-diethyl-aminobenzylidenamino)-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones 3a-g. The acetylation reactions of compounds 3a-e were investigated and compounds 4a-e were thus obtained. The new compounds were characterized using IR, (1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR, UV and MS spectral data. In addition, the newly synthesized compounds 3a-g were titrated potentiometrically with tetrabutylammonium hydroxide in four non-aqueous solvents such as isopropyl alcohol, tert-butyl alcohol, acetone and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), and the half-neutralization potential values and the corresponding pKa values were determined for all cases. Moreover, 3 and 4 type compounds were also screened for their antioxidant activities.
