The unique selective estrogen receptor modulator, Raloxifene (1), and antitubulin agent 2 were synthesized through the key intermediate, 4-methoxybenzyl 2-bromo-4-methoxyphenyl sulfoxide (6), respectively. It was found that compared with the o-sulfanyl aryl bromides, the sulfinyl group at ortho position accelerated the Sonogashira coupling reaction of aryl bromides. Thus, compound 6 was coupled with 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl acetylene, followed by mercury-catalyzed cyclization reaction afford compound 2 in 79% overall yield. Raloxifene (1) was prepared from compound 6 in four steps and 33% overall yield via coupling reaction with 1-trimethylsily-2-(4-tert-butyldimethylsiloxy)phenylethyne, mercury-catalyzed cyclization reaction, alkylation and demethylation.
