Abstract

Abstract The synthesis and antioxidant efficiencies of amphiphilic gallic acid derivatives are reported. To specify the impact of chemical structure on the antioxidant efficiency, several structural modifications of gallic acid were performed. The following structural features were chosen: i) introduction of hydrophobic or hydrophilic residues on the gallic acid and the type of their linkage, ii) the hydrophilic and/or lipophilic character of the whole molecule. The ...
