“…The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (40 g, hexanes−EtOAc, 2:1) to give N-Boc-prolyl-iheyanone 6 (632 mg, 70%) as a colorless oil. The ratio of major and minor rotamers was m, 1H), 1.96−1.79 (m, 3H), 1.40 (s, 9H), 1.15 (d, J = 7.3 Hz, 3H), 0.79 (d, J = 6.8 Hz, 3H);13 C NMR (100 MHz, CD 3 OD) for the major rotamer δ 182.0, 173.6, 172.5, 155.8, 95.4, 81.1, 65.5, 61.9, 59.6, 48.0, 31.7, 30.0, 28.7 (3C), 23.5, 19.2, 16.1; HRESIMS m/z 353.2056 [M + H] + (calcd for C 18 H 29 N 2 O 5 353.2071).Active ester 5 used in this reaction was synthesized based on the published procedure 11.…”
