A. Tatibouet et al., SYNTHESIS OF POLYFUNCTIONALIZED TROGER BASE ANALOGS DERIVED FROM ETHACRIDINE (6,9-DIAMINO-2-ETHOXYACRIDINE), Synthetic communications, 26(23), 1996, pp. 4375-4395
In the search for chemical probes of DNA conformations, we report an e
fficient synthesis of new Troger's Base analogs derived from polyfunct
ionalized aminoacridines treated with a stoechiometric amount of forma
ldehyde in trifluoroacetic acid. For the more sensitive aminoacridines
, the Troger's Bases were obtained by nucleophilic substitution of the
chloro group of the ''pre-formed'' corresponding Troger's Base.
