“…Flash chromatography (FC; cyclohexane) gave (P) 4 -(À)-4 a as a white solid (5 mg, 75 %). (10,11,22,23)), 78.29 (C (9,12,21,24)), 86.49 (C(4, 5, 16, 17)), 103.27 (C (1,8,13,20)), 104.56 (C (3,8,15,20)), 214.49 ppm (C(2, 7, 14, 19) 7,10,6,10,8, 2 -(+)-5 a): Acetone (0.660 mL, 0.525 mmol) was added to a solution of dimeric allene (P) 2 -(+)-9 (50 mg, 0.105 mmol) in Me 2 SO (1.1 mL), followed by the dropwise addition of with 1 m tBu-P4 base in hexane (30 mL). The mixture was stirred for 3 h at 25 8C, diluted with a saturated NH 4 Cl, and extracted with CHCl 3 (3 15 mL).…”
