Reduction of Olepupuane (3) with Lithium Aluminum Hydride. Lithium aluminum hydride (10 mg) was added to a solution of olepupuane (3; 0.5 mg, 0.002 mmol) in dry THF (5 mL), and the reaction mixture was stirred at 0 O C for 35 min. excess reagent was destroyed with ethyl acetate, and the reaction products were partitioned between dichloromethane (4 X 5 mL) and 5% aqueous hydrochloric acid (10 mL). The combined dichloromethane extra& were dried over sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated to yield a crude product that was purified by LC on Partisil with ethyl acetate as the eluant to yield the diol 6: 0.3 mg (85% theoretical); IR (neat) 3340 cm-'; ' H NMR (CC14) 6 5.70 (
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.
