“…Now the development of a new synthetic approach to obtain catechol/hydroquinone thio-ethers and the investigation of their structure and properties has become topical [ 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 ]. The Michael addition reaction of thiols to ortho -, para -benzoquinones [ 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 ] or nucleophilic substitution [ 57 , 58 ] are often applied to synthesize thio-ethers.…”

Novel catechol thio-ethers with different heterocyclic substituents at sulfur atom were prepared by reacting 3,5-di-tert-butyl-6-methoxymethylcatechol with functionalized thiols under acidic conditions. A common feature of compounds is a methylene bridge between the catechol ring and thioether group. Two catechols with the thio-ether group, bound directly to the catechol ring, were also considered to assess the effect of the methylene linker on the antioxidant properties. The crystal structures of thio-ethers with benzo-thiazole moieties were established by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The radical scavenging and antioxidant activities were determined using 2,2′-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical test, ABTS∙+, CUPRAC (TEAC) assays, the reaction with superoxide radical anion generated by xanthine oxidase (NBT assay), the oxidative damage of the DNA, and the process of lipid peroxidation of rat liver (Wistar) homogenates in vitro. Most catechol-thioethers exhibit the antioxidant effect, which varies from mild to moderate depending on the model system. The dual anti/prooxidant activity characterizes compounds with adamantyl or thio-phenol substituent at the sulfur atom. Catechol thio-ethers containing heterocyclic groups (thiazole, thiazoline, benzo-thiazole, benzo-xazole) can be considered effective antioxidants with cytoprotective properties. These compounds can protect molecules of DNA and lipids from the different radical species.
