“…A purple solid was removed by filtration, redissolved in 60 mL of a methanol/NH 4 PF 6(aq., 3 M) mixture (20 : 1) and precipitated by addition of some H 2 O to the solution and then decreasing the volume to yield 167 mg of the product (0.227 mmol, 48%). Elemental analysis (%) calcd for C 29 H 22 .32 (t, 3 J 12-11 = 3 J 12-13 = 7.7 Hz, 1H; H12), 8.18 (t, 3 J 22-21 = 8 Hz, 1H; H22), 7.98 (t, 3 J 17-16 = 3 J 17-18 = 7.8 Hz, 2H; H17, H27), 7.9 (t, 3 J 1-12 = 3 J 13-14 = 6.6 Hz, 1H; H13), 7.71 (s, H8), 7.64 (d, 3 J 15-16 = 3 J 29-28 = 5.3 Hz, 2H; H15, H29), 7.45 (d, 3 J 1-2 = 3 J 5-4 = 6.9 Hz, 2H; H1, H5), 7.38 (m, 5H; H2, H3, H4, H16, H28). NOESY (400 MHz, DMSO-d 6 ): d = 7.71-7.45 (H8-H1 or H8-H5), 7.71-8.51 (H8-H11).…”
