“…Following the general procedure C, 9b (1.78 g, 4.4 mmol) was used as a substrate to get 10b (0.97 g, 81% yield) as a white solid: 1 H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO- d 6 ) δ 12.16 (s, 1H, −OH), 10.80 (s, 1H, −OH), 9.60 (s, 1H, −OH), 7.32 (d, J = 8.4 Hz, 2H, H-10, H-14), 6.80 (d, J = 8.4 Hz, 2H, H-11, H-13), 5.89 (s, 2H, H-6, H-8), 5.44 (dd, J = 12.8, 2.7 Hz, 1H, H-2), 3.27 (dd, J = 17.1, 12.8 Hz, 1H, H-3a), 2.68 (dd, J = 17.1, 2.7 Hz, 1H, H-3b); 13 C NMR (100 MHz, DMSO- d 6 ) δ 196.9 (CO), 167.1, 164.0, 163.4, 158.2, 129.3, 128.8 (2 × C), 115.6 (2 × C), 102.2, 96.3, 95.4, 78.9 (C-2), 42.4 (C-3). The spectroscopic data correspond to reported values …”
