3,7-DICHLORO-2,6-DI-(4,4′-BUTYL-AMIDINO)BENZO[2,1-b:4,5-b′]DITHIO-PHENE DIHYDROCHLORIDE AS POTENTIAL ANTI-HIV AGENT

Abstract

The multistep synthesis of substituted diamidine of benzodithiophene structure as soluble salt is described. On this way was prepared the compound in title; 3,7-dichloro-2,6-di-(4,4′-n-butyl-amidino)benzo[2,1-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene dihydrochloride 6a. Prepared compound could serve as new intercalator on DNA in the HIV infection.
