Different substituted or unsubstituted aryl groups for B may be obtained by methods well known in the art. These analogs may be prepared by the reaction of an aldehyde obtained from the alcohols shown above with the anion of an aryl or heteroaryl methyl phosphonate, the latter being derived from the reaction of triphenylphosphine with the appropriate aryl or heteroaryl methyl halide (e.g., see Maryanoff, B. E., and Reitz, A. B., Chem. Rev. 1989, 89, 863-927 and references therein). The requisite aryl or heteraryl methyl halide, if not commercially available may be prepared from commercially available aryl or heteroaryl methyl alcohols (by halogenation), aryl or heteroaryl halides (by one carbon homogation via the aryl or heteroaryl methyl alcohol), or aryl or heteroaryl carboxylate compounds (by reduction and halogenation). Different substituted or unsubstituted aryl groups for B may also be obtained by the obtaining an analog for compound 3 using the procedures described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,531,485, expressly incorporated herein by reference, (see, e.g. compound 1-4, Scheme 3, columns 23-24), and varying J1, J2, and U1 as described above. Alternatively, conjugate addition reactions, analogous to reactions in U.S. Pat. No. 6,531,485, of styryl halides could be used to introduce different substituted aryl or heteroaryl groups for B. The requisite styryl halides may be prepared from the corresponding alkyne (via hydrohalogenation) or other organometallic methods known in the art.
