The structures of the newly synthesized hydrazones were confirmed by proton-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, and by single crystal X-ray diffraction. All the synthesized compounds were screened for their antioxidant activity, where compound 4a has shown percentage inhibition higher than the standard butylated hydroxyanisole. The molecular docking and photophysical property were also investigated. 2018 Connect Journals.Solvent-free synthesis of bis-hydrazones through 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of sydnone and study of their optical, molecular docking, and antioxidant propertiesArticle
