Tandem α-alkylation/asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of acetophenones with primary alcohols, mediated by a single ruthenium catalyst, is described. Under optimized reaction conditions and with use of [Ru(p-cymene)Cl2]2 in combination with an amino acid hydroxyamide ligand, the chiral secondary alcohol products were isolated in moderate yields and in moderate to good enantiomeric excess (up to 89 % ee). One catalyst - one pot - two reactions. Acetophenones are initially alkylated with primary alcohols by the borrowing hydrogen methodology. The alkylation products are directly converted to enantiomerically enriched secondary alcohols.

The syntheses of the meso-1,2-dialkyl-1,2-bis(3'-hydroxyphenyl)ethanes and of d,l-3,4-bis(3'-hydroxyphenyl)hexane (21) are described.In vitro these compounds inhibited the estradiol receptor interaction competitively, exhibiting Ka values between 0.20*109 (20) and 0.11*106 M-1 (24).In vivo the meso compounds reduced the estrone-stimulated mouse uterine growth; the most effective compounds were 20, 22, and 23 (53, 50, and 45percent inhibition, respectively).Compounds 20 and 22-24 showed weak estrogenic activity in the mouse uterine weight test and in the vaginal cornification test.Compounds 19 (NSC-297169), 20 (NSC-297170), and 22 (NSC-297171) exhibited a dose-dependent growth inhibition on the MCF-7 human breast tumor cell line (10-6 to 10-9 M).These compounds also showed a marked dose-dependent inhibition on the DMBA-induced, hormone-dependent mammary carcinoma of the Sprague-Dawley rat corresponding to their association constants.
