A novelseries of hydrazones derived from syringaldehyde and their antioxidant properties have been explored. Several employed methods such as scavenging effect on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and 2,2′-azinobis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS•+) radical cation expressed as Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC), inhibition of superoxide anion (O2•−) generation and
