title: Synthesis of 3-hydroxypyrid-2-ones from furfural for treatment against iron overload and iron deficiency.
abstract: Derivatives of 3-hydroxypyrid-2-ones, which posses very high affinity for iron and have anomalous applications in iron overload and iron deficiency, were prepared from furfural in simple reaction conditions.
