Synthesis of New Acylhydrazones as Iron-Chelating Compounds

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/je00054a044

Fourteen acylhydrazides have been condensed with three aromatic o-hydroxy aldehydes (pyridoxal, salicylaldehyde, and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde) to give 42 acylhydrazones, of which 38 are new.These compounds complex iron and have shown varying abilities to promote the movement of iron across biological membranes.Their infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra support the structures assigned to them.
