The synthesis of a series of more than 60 new diaryl ether compounds was accomplished starting from 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzonitrile and different phenols. The reactions were carried out under basic conditions (NaOH or KOH) in DMSO. Most of the compounds are near analogues of DNB – well known active compound against enteroviruses.

All compounds were obtained in high yields and purity after column chromatography and were characterized by NMR, MS-spectra, melting points and elemental analysis.

The new synthesized diarylethers were tested for their anti-enteroviral activity.
