14. For the desired CA4 analogues of type II, stereochemistry would be trans for the double bond Ca-Cb and cis for the exocyclic one. This corresponds to the configuration (EE) for the oxindole derivatives.
15. Alkynamides 4a, 4b and 4e have already been reported, 4a and 4b being synthesized by acylation of 7a with the methyl ester of 8a or 8b. See:. Yanada R., Obika S., Kobayashi Y., Inokuma T., Oyama M., Yanada K., and Takemoto Y. Adv. Synth. Catal. 347 (2005) 1632-1642

18. Several 3-trimethoxybenzylidene oxindoles with the (E)-configuration were obtained by coupling trimethoxybenzaldehyde and the appropriate indolinone in the presence of piperidine. But these derivatives are reported to gradually isomerize to the (Z)-isomeric forms, which does not inhibit tubulin polymerization. See:.
