C. Madelainedupulch et al., SYNTHESIS OF POTENTIAL ANTI-AIDS AMPHIPHILES - A NEW EFFICIENT ACYLATION OF AMINO-NAPHTHALENE DISULFONIC ACID-DERIVATIVES, Synthetic communications, 23(7), 1993, pp. 949-960
We describe a new synthetic route to amphiphilic derivatives of naphth
alene disulfonic acid which have been found to be active against HIV-1
and HIV-2. The compounds were obtained in good yield by a new efficie
nt acylation of amino-naphthalene disulfonic acid using N-acyl-thiazol
idine-2-thiones as acylating agents.
