P. Wheeler et G. Berube, THE SYNTHESIS OF NEW PLATINUM(II) COMPLEXES LINKED TO NONSTEROIDAL ESTROGENS, Inorganica Chimica Acta, 209(1), 1993, pp. 97-99
New platinum(II) complexes linked to triphenylethylene are efficiently
synthesised in seven steps from desoxyanisoin with an overall yield e
xceeding 30%. The methodology described gives access to interesting no
n-steroidal cytotoxic estrogens designed for the treatment of breast c
ancer.
