  • A structural modification of vitamin C designed to increase its antioxidant activity is provided. The approach involves the substitution of the hydroxyl group (OH) by fluorine (F) at position 4 of vitamin C, resulting in the formation of a new structure. Based on quantum calculations, this modification may enhance the antioxidant properties of vitamin C and its ability to scavenge free radicals.
