Abstract

Synthesis of (+/-)-cis-7-hydroxy-3-phenyl-4-(4-(2-piperidinoethanethio)phenyl)chromane (13) and (+/-)-cis-7-hydroxy-3-phenyl-4-(4-(2-pyrrolidinoethanethio)phenyl)chromane (15) is presented. These compounds are representatives of a novel class of compounds with high in vitro binding affinity for the Estrogen receptor (IC(50)=7-10 nM), and very low in vitro uterotrophic activity (max stim.=5-17% rel to moxestrol; EC(50)=0.5-1.8 nM).
