Synthesis of polyaminoalkyl substituted conjugates of pyrrolo[2,1- c][1,4]benzodiazepine involving S(N)Ar reaction of 2-nitro-5-fluorobenzoate precursors

Article abstract of DOI:10.3987/COM-99-S116

A synthetic procedure is described for conjugating polyaminoalkyl groups to the pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepine pharmacophore in order to alter its characteristic DNA sequence binding preference. To this end S(N)Ar reactions of 2-nitro-5-fluorobenzoate
