Highly efficient one-pot syntheses of antiproliferative 9-aminoacridine (9-AA) derivatives are described. Simple S N Ar and addition/elimination reactions, using readily accessible starting materials, give a fast entry to novel 9-(pyridylamino)-acridines, 9-(pyrimidinylamino)acridines and potential
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
