Scheme 2.

Scheme 2.

Synthesis of analogs of (5) with unaltered ester functionality. Modifications were in the steric and electronic properties of the alkyne moiety at the 2-position. Suzuki coupling generates the terminal alkene (18). Decarboxylative cross coupling provides the propyne analog (20). Sonogashira coupling provides the alkynes (22) and (24).
