“…The combined organics were dried (MgSO 4 ), filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (cyclohexane/ethyl acetate, 6:1 → 4:1) to give the title compound 21 as clear oil (4.70 g, 89%): HRMS (ESI +ve) found 285.1110 [M + Na] + , C 12 H 19 FNaO 5 + requires 285.1109; [α] D 20 −19.7 ( c 1.06, CHCl 3 ) [lit .
