An efficient method to synthesize functionalized tetraarylphosphoniumsalts is described. This palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction between aryl iodides, bromides, or triflates and triphenylphosphine generates phosphonium salts in high yields. The coupling is compatible with a variety of functional groups such as alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, phenols, and amides.
Candidate estrogen receptor (ER) ligands with two phenolic residues on a three-dimensional hydrophobic core structure (carborane, bicyclo[2.2.2]octene, or adamantane) were synthesized and biologically evaluated. The biological properties of the ligands were markedly dependent on the nature of the hydrophobic core structure. Bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-o-carborane (6) was a partial agonist/antagonist for ER. 1,2Bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)bicyclo[2.2.2]octene (10) exhibited potent agonist activity for ER, even though the two phenolic groups are located similarly to those of 6.
