“…Within 2 weeks, 2.54 g (63% yield) of white solid was collected, mp 146-151°. Two recrystallizations from methanolethyl acetate-acetone yielded the analytical sample, 7: mp 160-161°; ir (KBr) 2.97 (NH), 3.15 (hydrogen-bonded OH), 3.32 (aliphatic CH), 8.71 µ (P=0); NMR (CDCI3) 0.98 (s, 9 H, (CH3)3C), 2.85 (m, 2 H, PCH2), 4.34-4.62 (m, 1 H, PCHN), 5.21 (d, J = 3 Hz, 0.6 H, PCHO), 5.57 (d, J = 11 Hz, 0.4 H, PCHO), 6.67-7.67 (m, 15 H, aromatics). The NMR spectrum showed 7 to be an isomeric mixture.…”
