In order to develop cytotoxic estrogens with a specific effect on hormone‐dependent mammary tumors, two 1,1,2‐triphenylbut‐1‐enes with a 4‐OH group at one C‐1‐phenyl ring and a chloro‐[ 4 ] or bromo‐[ 8 ] anilin mustard moiety at the other C‐1‐phenyl ring were synthesized. 4 and 8 exerted strong alkylating activity and an irreversible binding to the estrogen receptor. In spite of relatively low receptor affinities, both anilin mustards exhibited a better effect on a receptor‐positive breast cancer cell line as well as on a hormone‐dependent mammary carcinoma of the mouse than on a receptor‐negative cell line and a hormone‐independent mammary carcinoma. Therefore, a selective antitumor activity of 4 and 8 is likely.
