“…The mixture was cooled to room temperature, and aqueous 1 N HCl (500 ml) was added to adjust the pH to 1. Extraction was performed with EtOAc (300 ml) twice, and the extracts were concentrated in vacuo to give product 7 (50 g, 85% yield); white powder36; mp 205–210 °C. 1 H-NMR(600 MHz, CD 3 OD) δ H 7.58(1H, d, J = 0.8 Hz, Ar-H), 7.41 (1H, t, J = 8.3 Hz, Ar-H), 7.16 (1H, d, J = 8.4 Hz, Ar-H), 6.79 (1H, d, J = 8.0 Hz, Ar-H), 3.96 (3H, s, OCH 3 ); 13 C-NMR(150 MHz, CD 3 OD) δ c 162.3, 158.2, 156.1, 146.0, 129.9, 119.0, 112.2, 105.6, 104.7, 56.2 (S13 and S14 Figs).…”
