<br/><br/> A  series  of  thiazole  derivatives  containing  benzimidazole  moiety  have  been  synthesized  and  their  structures  confirmed by spectroscopic techniques. The newly  synthesized compounds havebeen evaluated for their invitroantioxidant activity. The compounds 3b, 3dand 3cposses much higher radical scavenging activity than the well known antioxidant BHA. The antioxidant  activity  is  further  confirmed  using  theoretical  parameters  calculated  using  DFT  method  with  6-31G  basis  set. The  correlation  of  the  experimental  results  with  calculated  quantum  chemical  parameters  indicate  that  all  the  newly synthesized compounds have good scavenging capacity.
