Studies On Dehydro-L-ascorbic Acid and Dehydro-D-isoascorbic Acid Hydrazones

Abstract

2-Arylhydrazones of dehydro-L-ascorbic acid and its analogues are established as precursors for the synthesis of various heterocyclic compounds including triazoles, pyrazoles, imidazoles and isoxazoles; many of these compounds show great chemotherapeutic effects.
