A new compound, ICI 46,474, P‐B‐dimethylamino‐ethoxyphenyl‐1,2‐diphenylbut‐1‐ene, has been tested for its effectiveness in producing ovulation in women in whom failure of ovulation was the only known cause of infertility. Twenty‐four patients were given a total of 106 treatment cycles, 17 patients showed evidence of ovulation and eight of these became pregnant.
