“…H 2 SO 4 (0.12 mL) at rt, and the reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 3 h. The mixture was neutralized with solid NaHCO 3 , filtered, and evaporated under reduced pressure to give a colorless syrup. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography using hexane and ethyl acetate (1:2) as the eluent to afford 20 as a colorless syrup (4.3 g, 85%): [α] D 24 +25.3 ( c 1.05, CHCl 3 ), lit .
