In this study, we explored Heck- and Suzuki-coupling methodology to modify the template 2,5-di-<i>tert</i>-butylhydroquinone (BHQ, <b>2</b>), an inhibitor of the enzyme sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA). We found that by utilizing Suzuki coupling, we could successfully attach a six-carbon tether to BHQ that terminated in a leucine moiety to obtain target <b>14</b>. Similar to related compounds based on the structure of the natural product thapsigargin, <b>14</b> displayed inhibi ...[more]
