presence of a 1.5-fold excess of potassium carbonate led to the
target compounds 2–5 in 78–90% yields.
Compounds 2–5 were then evaluated as potential inhibitors
against a broad set of DNA and RNA viruses, including HIV-1,

ture of carboxylic acid derivative 7 (0.7 g, 1.70 mmol) and thionyl
chloride (0.15 ml, 2.06 mmol) in anhydrous 1,2-dichloroethane (10 ml)
was refluxed with the exclusion of moisture for 6 h. The volatiles were
evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was dissolved in
anhydrous 1,2-dichloroethane (10 ml). The resulting solution was added
dropwise to a stirred and cooled (0°C) solution of arylamine (1.72 mmol)
and pyridine (2 ml) in anhydrous 1,2-dichloroethane (40 ml), and this was
stirred for an additional 3 h at 0°C and then kept overnight at room tem-
perature. The mixture was then washed with 4% aqueous HCl (2×30 ml)
and water (2×30 ml), the solvents were evaporated under reduced pres-
sure, and the crude product purified by flash chromatography eluting
with 1,2-dichloroethane–EtOAc (1:2). The product was recrystallized
from a mixture of hexane–EtOAc (1:1).
