The reaction of epi-androsterone with cyanoacetyl hydrazine (2) gave the hydrazone derivative 3. The reactivity of 3 towards chemical reagents was studied to give pyridine, thiazole and thiophene derivatives.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
