“…The cross‐coupling reaction between the racemic synthon 1b and 1‐bromopent‐1‐yn‐3‐ol to give the product 2b (81% yield). Product 2b was then reduced to obtain 3b (95% yield) by hydrogenation with PtO 2 28,29 or palladium on carbon, 27 followed by esterification (95% yield) of 3b with butyryl chloride to obtain the final product 4b (overall 73% yield). 1 H‐NMR (400 MHz, CDCl 3 ) δ 4.91–4.82 (m, 1H, CH 2 CHCH 3 ), 4.82–4.74 (m, 1H, CH 2 CHCH 3 ), 2.28–2.19 (m, 4H, CH 2 ), 1.71–1.56 (m, 4H, CH 2 ), 1.56–1.39 (m, 6H, CH 2 ), 1.37–1.20 (m, 4H, CH 2 ), 1.16 (d, J = 6.1 Hz, 3H, CH 3 ), 0.97–0.88 (m, 6H, CH 2 ), 0.84 (t, J = 7.4 Hz, 3H, CH 3 ).…”
