Abstract

Selective estrogen receptor modulators are an emerging class of pharmaceutically important molecules. Many compounds in this class contain an aminoethoxyaryl moiety attached to a polycyclic framework at an asymmetric carbon atom. To assess whether this carbon atom can be replaced by nitrogen, we have employed a Ninomiya enamide photocyclization for the rapid synthesis of a novel N-arylbenzophenanthridine framework, 4. Further elaboration of 4 into a new structural class of achiral, nonsteroidal estrogen receptor modulators is described.
