“…The combined organic phases were then dried (Na 2 SO 4 ), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue thus obtained was subjected to flash chromatography (silica gel, 1 : 3→1 : 1 v/v ethyl acetate/petroleum ether gradient elution) to afford, after concentration of the relevant fractions ( R f =0.5 in 1 : 1 v/v ethyl acetate/petroleum ether), compound 24
