A small series of norbornane bisether diguanidines have been synthesized and evaluated as antibacterial agents. The key transformation-bisalkylation of norbornane diol <b>6</b>-was not successful using Williamson methodology but has been accomplished using Ag<sub>2</sub>O mediated alkylation. Further functionalization to incorporate two guanidinium groups gave rise to a series of structurally rigid cationic amphiphiles; several of which (<b>16d, 16g</b> and <b>16h</b>) exhibited antibiotic activ ...[more]
