“…Purification of the crude oil by column chromatography (12 g SiO2, 0-40% EtOAc/Hex) yielded cis-4-caranone as a clear, colorless oil (53% yield) Rf 0.51 (5% EtOAc:Hex; anisaldehyde); 1 H NMR (400 MHz, Chloroform-d) δ 2.54 (ddd, J = 18.0, 8.4, 1.0 Hz, 1H), 2.44 -2.25 (m, 3H), 1.33 -1.20 (m, 1H), 1.14 -0.99 (m, 5H), 0.97 (d, J = 6.4 Hz, 3H), 0.86 (s, 3H); 13 C NMR (101 MHz, Chloroform-d) δ 216.79, 41.99, 36.84, 29.77, 27.91, 22.83, 20.34, 19.47, 14.89, 14.11 ppm. Spectral data is consistent with literature reports (Kolehmainen et al, 1993). 15…”
