Diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) is widely used for quickly accessing the ability of polyphenols to transfer labile H atoms to radicals. The antioxidant activity of all the synthesized compounds was screened by DPPH method. Compound (4) showed 54% antioxidant potential while all other compounds were found to have moderate to have moderate to mild antioxidant activity ranging from 47–52%. Pyroglutamic lactams have been synthesized stereoselectively in racemic form from levulinic acid as bifunctional adduct using convertible isocyanide in one-pot Ugi 4-center-3-component condensation reaction (U-4C-3CR). The product formed provides biologically interesting products in excellent yields in a short reaction time. The structures of the synthesized compounds were elucidated using spectroscopic data and elemental analysis.
