The synthesis of a new series of organochalcogen-derivatives, 2-alkyl/arylchalcogenyl-N-(4-aryl-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)acetamides rong class="boldFont">5arong>–rong class="boldFont">rrong>, provided products in satisfactory yields, which varied from 42% to 95%. All these novel compounds were screened for their in vitro free radical scavenging activity against 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2′-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radicals. Compounds rong class="boldFont">5rong> (rong class="boldFont">mrong>, rong class="boldFont">hrong>, rong class="boldFont">irong>, rong class="boldFont">frong>, rong class="boldFont">qrong>, rong class="boldFont">grong>, rong class="boldFont">lrong>, rong class="boldFont">crong>, rong class="boldFont">nrong>) were effective scavengers against the ABTS radical species but less effective on scavenging the DPPH radical, indicating that the antioxidant effect of these compounds were related to protonated radical scavenger activity.
