Synthesis and evaluation of anticancer activities of 2- or 4-substituted 3-(N-benzyltriazolylmethyl)-13α-oestrone derivatives

2- or 4-Substituted 3-N-benzyltriazolylmethyl-13α-oestrone derivatives were synthesised via bromination of ring A and subsequent microwave-assisted, Pd-catalysed C(sp2)–P couplings. The antiproliferative activities of the newly synthesised brominated and phosphonated compounds against a panel of hum...
