Abstract
As part of our program to develop potential imaging agents for ascorbate bioactivity in the brain, 5-O-(4'-iodobenzyl)-L-ascorbic acid was prepared through a seven-step sequence which involved C_5-O-alkylation with p-iodobenzyl bromide in the presence of Ag_2O and CaSO_4 as the key step, starting from L-ascorbic acid. The scavenging activity of the p-iodobenzylated analog against 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhyrazyl (DPPH) radical was almost the same as that of L-ascorbic acid itself.
