Synthesis and evaluation of the antioxidant properties for some novel aminomethyl derivatives of 2,6-diisobornylphenol bearing a pinane moiety

Some new derivatives based on 2,6-diisobornylphenol and containing amine moieties of the pinane structure at the para -position relative to the phenolic hydroxy group were synthesized. The antioxidant properties of the obtained compounds were estimated using various in vitro models. The introduction of diamine moiety into a starting molecule led to a significant increase in the radical scavenging activity and the ability to chelate Fe 2+ ions.
