Atevirdine is anon-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor that has been studied for the treatment ofHIV.[1]

Preparation of the pyridylpiperazine moiety starts by aromatic displacement of chlorine from 2-chloro-3-nitropyridine by piperazine to give3. The secondary amine is then protected as its BOC derivative by reaction withdi-tert-butyl dicarbonate (Boc anhydride) to give4. The nitro group is then reduced bycatalytic hydrogenation. Reductive alkylation with acetaldehyde in the presence oflithium cyanoborohydride gives the corresponding N-ethyl derivative. Theprotecting group is then removed by reaction withTFA. Reaction of the resulting amine with the imidazolide derivative of 5-methoxy-3-indoleacetic acid produces the amide reverse transcriptase inhibitor, atevirdine.
