Abstract A three-component condensation was applied for the preparation of cyclopentadiene derivatives through the reaction of primary amines, alkyl propiolate and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate in the presence of catalytic amount of ZnO-nanorods (Zn-NR) under solvent-free conditions at 50 °C. The method has proved to be synthetically green, simple, and effective with high atom economy and yield. The catalyst also revealed significant reusability. Moreover, the antioxidant activity and free radical scavenging capacity of the newly synthesized derivatives 4a , 4b , 4c , and 4d was screened using free radical scavenging 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays and compared with hydroxytoluene (BHT) and tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ). These compounds do not exhibit good DPPH radical scavenging, but they have a desirable FRAP.
