“…Compound 5 (500 mg, 1.8 mmol) was dissolved in MeOH : dichloromethane : chloroform (0.1 : 1 : 1) containing peracetic acid (32% active oxygen, 776 mg, 4.5 mmol). The solution was heated at 45–50 °C (internal temperature) for 2 h, and the reaction mixture was concentrated using rotary evaporator 14 and the residue was purified using column chromatography (8% MeOH/CH 2 Cl 2 ), to obtain the compound 6 (438 mg, 83%). 8 1 H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl 3 ) δ 9.07–9.02 (m, 2H), 8.12–8.07 (m, 1H), 7.78–7.72 (m, 2H), 4.33 (d, J = 7.6 Hz, 2H), 3.18 (t, J = 7.5 Hz, 2H), 2.90 (ddd, J = 8.4, 6.9, 2.6 Hz, 2H), 2.41–4.31 (m, 1H), 2.03 (t, J = 2.6 Hz, 1H), 1.05 (d, J = 6.7 Hz, 6H).…”
