“…Crude 22 (1.73 mmol) was dissolved in acetic anhydride (15 mL), and the mixture was stirred at 100 °C for 3 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo, and column chromatography (pentane/EtOAc, 90:10 to 80:20) yielded the title compound (0.88 mmol, 0.42 g, 51% over two steps): 1 H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl 3 ) δ 7.41–7.23 (m, 15H), 6.11 (d, J = 4.0 Hz, 1H), 6.02 (d, J = 3.0 Hz, 1H), 4.86–4.50 (m, 6H), 4.30 (dd, J = 5.2, 3.1 Hz, 1H), 4.27–4.12 (m, 2H), 4.07 (dd, J = 6.5, 5.2 Hz, 1H), 3.81 (q, J = 6.4 Hz, 1H), 3.77–3.68 (m, 2H), 3.59–3.39 (m, 3H); 13 C{ 1 H} NMR (101 MHz, CDCl 3 ) δ 138.4, 138.0, 137.6, 128.6, 128.6, 128.5, 128.5, 128.1, 128.1, 128.0, 128.0, 127.9, 127.9, 127.8, 127.8, 88.9, 86.1, 84.7, 83.9, 82.1, 74.8, 73.6, 73.3, 73.3, 73.2, 72.9, 72.8, 72.7, 71.0, 49.5, 45.4, 21.5, 21.3; IR (neat) 3088, 3063, 3031, 2926, 2863, 1793, 1496, 1453, 1367, 1226, 1098, 1074, 1017, 734, 695 cm –1 ; HRMS (ESI) m / z [M + Na] + calcd for C 28 H 30 O 5 SNa 501.1706, found 501.1713; R f = 0.25 (EtOAc/pentane, 10:90). Spectroscopic data was in agreement with literature …”
