A short-step route for the preparation of droloxifene has been established via the novel three-component coupling reaction among 3-pivaloyloxybenzaldehyde, cinnamyltrimethylsilane, and β-chlorophenetole, the successive installation of the side-chain part, and the base-induced migration of the double bond. The present synthesis of tetra-substituted ethylene moieties is a widely applicable strategy for producing a variety of SERMs (selective estrogen receptor modulators) and SARMs (selective androgen receptor modulators), such as tamoxifen, raloxifene, and other compounds that can lead to new drugs.
