Dicationic phenyl-2,2'-bichalcophenes and analogues as antiprotozoal agents. [PDF]
A series of phenyl-2,2'-bichalcophene diamidines 1a-h were synthesized from the corresponding dinitriles either via a direct reaction with LiN(TMS)₂, followed by deprotection with ethanolic HCl or through the bis-O-acetoxyamidoxime followed by hydrogenation in acetic acid and EtOH over Pd-C.
