“…36 1 H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl 10.0 Hz, J 5,6a 3.9 Hz, J 5,6b 2.0 Hz, 1H, H5), 3.95−3.85 (m, 2H, H3, H4), 3.78 (dd, J 6a,6b 10.6 Hz, 1H, H6aa), 3.70−3.63 (m, 2H, H2, H6b), 2.07 (s, 3H, SCH 3 ). 13 37 (2.389 g, 6.313 mmol, 1.0 equiv) was dissolved in anhydrous MeOH (20 mL). NaOMe in MeOH (25 wt %) was added in a dropwise fashion until pH 10 was reached.…”
