Twofold sila-substitution (C/Si exchange) in the saturated ring of the tetrahydronaphthalene skeleton of the RXR-selective retinoid agonist bexarotene (1a) leads to disilabexarotene (1b). Compound 1b was synthesized in a multistep synthesis, starting from 1,2-bis(chlorodimethylsilyl)ethane. The identity of 1b was established by elemental analyses and multinuclear NMR studies, and the C/Si analogues 1a and 1b (and an intermediate in the synthesis of 1b) were structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Furthermore, 1a and 1b were studied for their interaction with retinoid X receptors. Although the twofold sila-substitution of la resulted in significant differences in the molecular structures of 1a and 1b, disila-bexarotene (1b) was shown to be a highly potent RXR agonist.
