The anti-malarial activity of the arenearylpyrimidylmethane (AAPM) class of compounds emerged from database searching of a pharmacophore. A new 2 step synthesis of the AAPM scaffold is reported and subsequent substitution yielded a short synthesis of the lead anti-malarial compound. The presence of atropisomerism in this class of compounds is also reported for the first time.
