Abstract

In the study of the metabolic activation of procarbazine, a chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of Hodgkins disease (tumors of the brain and other neoplasms), two azoxy isomers were identified as metabolite~.'-~ Further metabolism of these azoxy compounds should lead to an alkylating species.*~~ A regiospecific synthesis of each of these unsymmetrical compounds or their unsubstituted analogues was desired to provide an ...
