“…ConcentrationS15under pressure gave an oily residue, which was purified by PTLC with EtOAc-MeOH (3:1) to give isolysergol 3 as a pale brown solid (3.8 mg, 99% yield): IR (neat): 3213 (OH), 1604 (C=C), The IR spectra was found to be identical with that of natural isolysergol. 4 1 H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl 3 -CD 3 OD) δ 2.44-2.50 (m, 1H), 2.55 (s, 3H), 2.65 (ddd, J = 14.3, 11.5, 1.7 Hz, 1H), 2.85 (ddd, J = 11.5, 4.0, 1.7 Hz, 1H), 3.04 (d, J = 11.5 Hz, 1H), 3.14-3.19 (m, 1H), 3.53 (dd, J = 14.3, 5.7 Hz, 1H), 3.80 (ddd, J = 10.3, 3.6, 1.7 Hz, 1H), 3.96 (dd, J = 10.3, 3.4 Hz, 1H), 6.46 (d, J = 5.7 Hz, 1H),6.89 (d, J = 1.7 Hz, 1H), 7.14-7.17 (m, 2H), 7.18-7.22 (m, 1H); The 1 H NMR spectra was found to be identical with that of synthesized isolysergol reported by Ninomiya and Naito 5. 13 C NMR (125 MHz, CDCl 3 -CD 3 OD) δ 27.3, 36.3, 43.3, 57.4, 63.0, 66.0, 109.5, 109.9, 111.7, 118.2, 121.0, 122.9, 126.0, 128.0, 133.8, 136.7; HRMS (FAB) calcd C 16 H 17 N 2 O: [M -H] -, 253.1346; found: [M -H] To a stirred solution of S4b (16.7 mg, 0.030 mmol) in THF (0.7 mL) was added TBAF (1.00 M solution in THF; 39 μL, 0.039 mmol) at 0 °C.…”
