Abstract

Synthetic approaches to novel 4,8-dimethyl-4′-halomethyl-4′,5′-dihydropsoralens as synthetic precursors to 4,8-dimethyl-4′-(N-pyridiniummethyl)-4′,5′-dihydropsoralens are described. The compounds are potential therapeutic agents for improved psoralen ultraviolet radiation therapy with reduced mutagenicity.
