N-aminoimidazole derivatives inhibiting retroviral replication via a yet unidentified mode of action
The synthesis of a series of N-aminoimidazoles (NAIMs) with an uncommon spectrum of antiretroviral activity is described. From a group of 60 closely related molecules, we were able to subdivide the molecules in different groups based on their anti-HIV and anti-SIV activity in vitro: (i) molecules acting on a new, immediate postintegration step, (ii) molecules acting on both postintegration and HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) as NNRTI, and (iii) molecules that mainly act at the HIV-1 RT according to an NNRTI-type mode of action.
Photochemical Rearrangement of α-Chloro-Propiophenones to α-Arylpropanoic Acids: Studies on Chirality Transfer and Synthesis of (S)-(+)-Ibuprofen and (S)-(+)-Ketoprofen
A new single-step efficient photochemical approach for α-arylpropanoic acids (4) from α-chloro-propiophenones (5) is described.It involves carbonyl triplet excited state directed 1,2-aryl migration of the aryl group which has been found to be highly dependent upon the nature of the aryl substituent.The mode of the rearrangement is probed by the study of the photobehaviour of a set of optically active α-chloro-propiophenones.The results suggest that the nature of the carbonyl triplets (n, ?*/ ?, ?*) plays an important role in the chirality transfer.This method finds application in the synthesis of optically active ibuprofen (4e) and ketoprofen (26), though in moderate optical yields.

Easy and General Method for the Preparation of m- and p-Acylbenzoic Acids: A New Synthesis of rac-Suprofen
A method for the preparation of m- and p-acylbenzoic acids 3 based on the Claisen condensation of isophthalic or terephthalic diesters 1 with α-methylenecarboxylic esters 2 is described. p-Propionylbenzoic acid p-4 (R=Me) is used in a new synthesis of rac-suprofen (11).
