Mass spectra were obtained on an A.E.I. MS902 mass spectrometer using a direct insertion probe; source temperatures were maintained at 30-40 °C to minimize pyrolytic reactions. All samples were subjected to preparative gas chromatography prior to mass spectral analysis. All gas chromatography was performed on a Hewlett Packard 5750 instrument containing a 10 ft X 0.125 in. column packed with 10% UCW-98 on 80-100 Chromosorb S. The NMR spectra were obtained using deuter-iochloroform solvents on a Varían Model A-60 spectrometer. The chemical shift values are expressed in values (parts per million) relative to a tetramethylsilane internal standard. All column and thin-layer chromatography were performed on silica gel, using benzene as eluent, unless otherwise indicated. (27) G.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
