“…After chromatography, fractions containing mainly the major product were combined and recrystallized from toluene to give 0.1575 g. Mixed fractions that contained the major product were combined and recrystallized from acetone, yielding the major product in two crops, 0.4189g and 0.1839 g (total of the three crops 0.7603 g, 40.8%). The three crops were combined (0.681 g) and recrystallized again from acetone (0.381 g, 55.9% recovery 6, 170.0, 140.1, 136.7, 129.0, 128.8, 128.5, 128.2, 127.9, 127.7, 63.8, 52.2, 27.6, 23.3 1531.9, 1490.3, 1406.4, 1356.8, 1267.9, 764.1, 733.6, 721.6, 698.7 6,nonan-8-one (12): The reaction was repeated after the original report (Yennawar & Silverberg, 2013). 2-Methyltetrahydrofuran was the only solvent.…”
