A new class of tetracylic benzimidazole compounds and derivatives thereof. Additionally provided is a synthetic route for the generation of these and related compounds via Intramolecular Aromatic Nucleophilic Substitution (S
N
Ar) of the Benzimidazole-Activated Nitro Groups. Additionally, a facile route for the generation of novel phenol species as thermal decomposition of compounds the S
N
Ar product, which occurs at high temperature resulting in cleavage of the ether linkage and formation of a vinyl group and phenol is provided. Also provided are methods of using the compounds described herein in the treatment HIV.
