## Abstract The reaction of (+)βusnic acid (I) with arylhydrazines (II) leads to the fused pyrazole derivatives (III), whilst the reaction with nitrophenylhydrazines (V) gives rise to hydrazones (V).
Usnic acid (I), one of the most common lichen metabolites, is of considerable interest because of its inhibitory effect on Gram-positive bacteria. 293 The only successful
Usnic acid , a yellow colouring matter which is widely distir$buted in lichens , particularly in Usnea , Cladonia, Rvernia ana Parmelia , had long been investigated by several workers, and the structure (III) (1,2) was unequivocally confirmed by the
