“…The combined early fractions, 15 mg, composed of (GLC) 71% lg, 3% If, and 26% of the reduced diphenyl ether, was chromatographed on silica gel, eluted with hexane, and the eluent (8 mg) was twice recrystallized from chloroform to give 4 mg of lg, 95% pure by GLC, containing 3% If and 2% of the diphenyl ether. The structure of lg is supported by the NMR spectrum (CDC13): 8.5 (s, 1, Hi), 7.85 (s, 1, H4), 7.25-7.8 (m, 3, H6, H7, Hg); mass spectrum m/e 274 (34), 272 (93), 270 (100), 209 (18), 207 (25), 137 (22), 136 (21), 135 (20), 86 (14).…”
