“…The crude residue was purified using SiO 2 flash chromatography (16% EtOAc/hexanes). This material was further purified by radial silica gel chromatography (gradient; 100% hexanes to 5% EtOAc to 10% EtOAc in hexanes) to remove the cis isomer and afford 950 mg (87% yield) of 6b as colorless oil: 93% ee (OD-H Chiralcel HPLC column, 5% IPA in hexane, R t = 6.8 min, 8.8 min), 1 H NMR (300 MHz, 313 K, CDCl 3 ): δ 7.36−7.30 (m, 5H), 6.11 (dtd, J = 15.6, 5.0, 1.1 Hz, 1H), 5.93−5.86 (ddt, J = 15.6, 6.3, 1.2 Hz, 1H), 5.41 (dd, J = 6.3, 0.9 Hz, 1H), 4.53 (s, 2H), 4.25 (q, J = 7.1 Hz, 4H), 4.08 (d, J = 5.1 Hz, 2H), 1.31−1.27 (m, 6H); 13 (17). To a flame-dried 20 mL scintillation vial was added allylic azide 16 (575 mg, 2.09 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and anhydrous EtOH (10 mL, 0.1 M).…”
