A series of 6-hydroxy-7-methoxy-4-chromanone- (2a–e) and chroman-2-carboxamides (3a–e) were synthesized and their antioxidant activities were evaluated. While compounds 2a–e were less active, compounds 3a–e exhibited more potent inhibition of lipid peroxidation initiated by Fe2+ and ascorbic acid in rat brain homogenates. Among them, N-arylsubstituted-chroman-2-carboxamides (3d and 3e) exhibited 25–40 times more potent inhibition than trolox (1). The DPPH radical scavenging activity of compound 3d was comparable to that of trolox.
