“…for 2 min at À 788. Then, Me 2 S (1 ml) was added, and the mixture was maintained at r.t. during 12 h with stirring, evaporated to dryness, and purified over SiO 2 to give 23 (12 mg, 24%), methyl (1aS,3aS,7aR,7bR)-octahydro-1a,6,6-trimethyl-7b-(2-oxoethyl)naphtho[1,2-b]oxirene-3a(1aH)-carboxylate (24, 10 mg, 32%) [18], and [(2S,4aS,8aR)-hexahydro-2-hydroxy-2,7,7-trimethyl-9-oxo-2H-1,4a-(epoxymethano)naphthalen-1(5H) (1R,2R,4aS,8aS)-Octahydro-5,5,8a-trimethyl-1H-spiro[naphthalene-2,2'-oxiran]-1-ol (26). Compound 9 (100 mg, 0.22 mmol) was dissolved in AcOEt (8 ml), stirred at À 788, and an O 3 flow lower than 0.1 l/min (50% O 2 /50% O 3 ) was passed through the soln.…”
