Several arvanil analogs were synthesized where the end n-pentyl chain was branched and carried substituents at the terminal end of the chain. A high yielding total synthesis of these analogs was developed from methyl hex-5-ynoate, which was converted to the synthon 6 in a facile five strip sequence (overall yield, 33%). The pharmacological profile of these novel analogs suggests that they may be acting through a novel site of action for anandamide (arachidonylethanolamide, AEA). (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
