The synthesis of four new analogues (i.e.3–6) of farnesylpyrophosphate (FPP), which may function as inhibitor of squalene synthase, is described. Compounds 3 and 4 were readily accessible by reaction of farnesal with diethyl phosphite or dimethyl lithiomethylphosphonate, respectively, followed by condensation of the resulting alcohols with diethyl phosphonomethyl triflate. The preparation of 5 and
