Abstract

This paper reports the synthesis and antiviral properties of new difluoromethylbenzoxazole (DFMB) pyrimidine thioether derivatives as non-nucleoside HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors. By use of a combination of structural biology study and traditional medicinal chemistry, several members of this novel class were synthesized using a single electron transfer chain process (radical nucleophilic substitution, SRN1) and were found to be ...
