Application

Triphenylethylene is an aromatic hydrocarbon, which can be used as a starting material to prepare 2,2,3-triphenyloxirane by asymmetric epoxidation reaction using fluorous chiral manganese complex as a catalyst. It is also used to prepare dihydro-4,5,5-triphenyl-2(3H)-furanone by reacting with acetic anhydride in the presence of MnO2 and NaOAc.

Tamoxifen analogs (1-3) and 1,1,2-triphenylethylenes (4-7) have been synthesized by the McMurry coupling reaction. Their antiproliferative effects on MCF-7 human breast-cancer cells, HO-8910 human ovarian-carcinoma cells, and (HL)-60 human promyelocytic-leukemia cells were studied by use of the colorimetric MTT assay
