The chemotherapy of schistosomiasis. Part VII. 2-Methyl- and 2-(substituted methyl)-4-aminophenyl ethers
Abstract
Chloromethylation of p-nitrophenol or its alkyl ethers gave reactive 2-chloromethyl intermediates which have been converted into 2-hydroxymethyl-(VII), 2-mercaptomethyl-(II), or 2-aminomethyl-4-nitrophenyl ethers (X), and various acyl, alkyl, aryl, and sulphone derivatives. The amines (VIII) obtained on reduction have been studied as schistosomicides.
