Abstract
Two new and versatile synthetic methods for preparing 5-nitro-analogue s of HEPT and MKC-442 which are HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors , are reported. In both cases the key-step is based upon the displacem ent of a 6-methylthio or a 6-tosyl group by nucleophiles according an addition-elimination type mechanism.
