Employing a methodology that meets various requirements of "Green Chemistry", the substances quinazolinyl benzoate (P1) and N-4-imidazolphenylbenzamide (P2) were synthesized through benzoylation reactions by the classical Schotten-Baumann method, in an aqueous environment and room temperature. The products were purified by recrystallization and characterized by melting point, thin layer chromatography (TLC) and infrared spectroscopy. Qualitative antioxidant activities with the diphenylpicrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) and toxic potential against Artemia salina Leach larvae were also investigated. Only P2 indicated significant antioxidant activity. According to the medium lethal concentration values (LC50), used for P1 and P2, the toxic potential revealed, respectively, to be moderate for P1 and weak for P2. Despite the low yield obtained for the synthesis of P1, the characterizations indicate success in the preparations, within a synthetic strategy of low cost, efficient and ecologically sustainable.
