Background: Free radicals can easily damage DNA, proteins, lipids within the tissue. Anti-oxidants from natural sources can diminish the actions of free radicals with no to very few adverse effects. The current study deals with the chemical composition and antioxidant activity from leaves of Zanthoxylum oxyphyllum Edgew. Methods: The antioxidant activities for DPPH, FRAP, ABTS radicals, phosphomolybdate assay, reducing power, and chelating power assay were evaluated in ethanol (ET), methanol (ME), chloroform (CH), ethyl acetate (EA), and petroleum ether (PE) extracts of the leaves. The Density Functional Theory (DFT) study was carried out on major phytochemicals to evaluate the most responsible bioactive molecule responsible for antioxidant activity. Results: It was observed that the ME extract showed the most potent scavenging activities in DPPH, FRAP, ABTS radicals, phosphomolybdate assay, reducing power, and chelating power assay. The phenolic acids and flavonoids like quercetin, gallic acid, sinapic acid, etc were identified. The DFT study was done for major phytochemicals of ME extract to evaluate the most responsible bioactive molecule for antioxidant activity. The Gallic acid has the lowest bond dissociation energy (BDE) 314.9 kcal/mol in gas, 309.2 kcal/mol in methanol respectively along with the highest value of radical stabilization energy (RSE) 29.5 kcal/mol. Conclusion: It revealed that gallic acid is the most responsible antioxidant among the other compounds and ME is the best solvent system for extraction followed by CH.

Methyl cis-4-methyl-2-pentenoate (1) has been found to rearrange at 252 °C by a simple first-order and presumably unimolecular mechanism to methyl 4-methyl-3-pentenoate (3) with a rate constant k of 4.28 × 10−5 s−1. The heat of activation ΔH†, was determined to be 37.5 ± 2 kcal/mole and the entropy of activation, ΔS†, was determined to be −8.2 ± 4 e.u. These activation parameters and the steric requirements of the reaction support a mechanism involving a cyclic 1,5-transfer of hydrogen. Studies on the isomerization of methyl cis-2-pentenoate, methyl cis-2,4-dimethyl-2-pentenoate, and methyl cis-2-methyl-2-pentenoate to the corresponding 3-pentenoates suggest that the 1,5-hydrogen transfer mechanism could well be general for the equilibration of α,β- and β,γ-unsaturated esters.An isopropyl group cis to a methyl or a carbomethoxy group on a double bond is shown by nuclear magnetic resonance to prefer a conformation with the methyls of the isopropyl group held away from the methyl or carbomethoxy group. A cis hydrogen does not restrict the conformation of the isopropyl group.
