Ultraviolet spectra were recorded on a Cary 14 double-beam recording spectrophotometer. Infrared spectra were taken on a Beckman IR-10 spectrophotometer. Mass spectra were determined on a Hitachi Perkin-Elmer RMU-6D single-focusing mass spectrometer operating at 70 eV. Circular dichroism curves were recorded in n-pentane at room temperature on a Cary 61 spectropolarimeter. Optical rotations were determined on a ETL-NPL (Ericsson Telephone Unlimited) automatic polarimeter. (19) H. Morrison, J. Chem. Educ., 44, 161 (1967). (20) Multiple! collapses to an AB quartet (J = -20 Hz) when Irradiated at 5.6 ppm.(21) Only a carbon-13 nmr spectrum of a 1:1 mixture of 16 and 17 was obtained:
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.
