“…The combined organic extract was dried over anhyd Na 2 SO 4 and filtered. The solvent was subsequently removed under reduced pressure to obtain a crude mixture, which was purified by silica gel column chromatography using a mixture of chloroform and pet ether (v/v 1:10 to 1:2) to obtain BATOMe as a yellowish solid, yield 2.23 g (91%); IR (KBr) cm −1 : 3062, 3004, 2929, 2836, 1590, 1451, 1415, 1365; 1 H NMR (CDCl 3 , 500 MHz): δ 3.90 (s, 12H), 6.71 (s, 2H), 6.80 (s, 4H), 7.14−7.17 (m, 4H), 7.23 (d, J = 8.55 Hz, 4H), 7.33− 7.36 (m, 4H), 7.91 (d, J = 8.60 Hz, 4H); 13 C NMR (CDCl 3 , 100 MHz): δ 55. 5, 100.1, 109.4, 125.3, 125.5, 127.0, 127.3, 129.8, 131.3, 133.4, 137.8,…”
