“…The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2S04, and concentrated on a rotary evaporator. The residue obtained was purified by preparative TLC (silica gel, 9:1 CHCl3-MeOH as a developing solvent) followed by trituration with CHCl3-7i-hexane and drying under vacuum to afford 12a (10 mg, 31%) as a red powder: NMR (270 MHz, pyridinedb) 2.17 (dd, J = 2.2, 4.6 Hz, 1 , 2-H), 2.25 (s, 3 H, la-CH3), 2.55 (d, J = 4.6 Hz, 1 H, 1-H), 3.20 (s, 3 H, 9a-OCH3), 3.48 (dd, J = 2.2, 12.6 Hz, 1 , 3 -), 3.60 (s, 3 H, 7-OCH3), 3.99 (dd, J = 4. 4, 11.3 Hz, 1 , 9-H), 4.22 (d, J = 12.6 Hz, 1 H, 3/3-H), 4.80 (br t, J = 10.9 Hz, 1 H, 10-Ha), 5.35 6.6-Dibromo-7-demethoxy-6-demethyl-7,7-(ethylenedioxy)-6,7-dihydromitomycin B (21).…”
