“…Further workup using column chromatography (silica gel; Merck 9385; CHCl 3 -MeOH, in increasing order of polarity from 9.95:0.05 to 9.5:0.5) afforded 10,12-diacyl,11-hydroxy (23-30; TLC data: R f ~ 0.90, 9.5:0.5 CHCl 3 -MeOH), 12-acyl (10-17; TLC data: R f ~ 0.86, 9.5:0.5 CHCl 3 -MeOH), 10-acyl,11-hydroxy (18-22; TLC data: R f ~ 0.70, 9.5:0.5 CHCl 3 -MeOH ) and 10-acyl (2-9; TLC data: R f ~ 0.61, 9.5:0.5 CHCl 3 -MeOH) derivatives, respectively, as colorless crystalline solids, in moderate yields (Table 1). (2 (8 (12 (14 (16 (18 Note: NMRs of 3 and 18 were recorded in CD 3 OD, whereas those of 11 and 24 were recorded in CDCl 3 . Assignments were established by interpretation of the 13 C-NMR (broad band decoupled and DEPT), HMQC, and HMBC spectra.…”
