title: The reactivity of gem cyanoester ketene dithiolates towards the development of potent antioxidant heterocycles.
abstract: The reactivity of gem cyanoester ketene dithiolates towards the development of a variety of heterocycles was studied and tested for antioxidant property. The compounds bis benzoxazolylmethylthiomethylene pyrazoles and isoxazoles displayed excellent radical scavenging activity when compared with the standard ascorbic acid.
