Catechol diethers that incorporate a 7-cyano-2-naphthyl substituent are reported as non-nucleoside inhibitors of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (NNRTIs). Many of the compounds have 1-10 nM potencies toward wild-type HIV-1. An interesting conformational effect allows two unique conformers for the naphthyl group in complexes with HIV-RT. X-ray crystal structures for 4a and 4f illustrate the alternatives.
Synthesis of 4-(4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethylphenyl)-3-buten-2-one, a key synthon for etretinate and its metabolites

A synthetic route to 4-(4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethylphenyl)-3-buten-2-one (2), a valuable synthon to etretinate (1), a potent antipsoriatic drug is described.The keto acids (3a) and (3b) obtained from 2,5-dimethylanisole by acylation with methylsuccinic and succinic anhydrides, respectively are elaborated separately to the identical methoxytrimethyldihydronaphthalene (7a) which on ozonolysis furnishes the ring opened arylketoaldehyde (8).Strategic manipulation of the keto and aldehyde functions of 8 leads to the arylbutanone (14).Side chain bromination of 14 gives the bromoketone (15) which provides on dehydrobromination the key synthon (2).
