“…The reaction mixture was then poured into hexanes (150 mL) and neutralized with an aqueous solution of saturated sodium bicarbonate. The water layer was extracted with hexanes (3 × 100 mL), and the combined organic layers were then washed with water (3 × 100 mL), dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated on a rotary evaporator: yield 5.7 g (56%); brown oil; 1 H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 0.60 (s, 3H), 1.19 (d, J ) 9.7 Hz, 1H), 1.40-1.45 (m, 6H), 2.32 (quint, J1 ) 2.9 Hz, J2 ) 5.6 Hz, J3 ) 8.6 Hz, J4 ) 11.5 Hz, 1H), 2.66-2.74 (m, 1H), 2.88 (t, J ) 5.4 Hz, 1H), 3.01 (d, J ) 2.8 Hz, 2H), 4.45 (q, J1 ) 6.5 Hz, J2 ) 7.1 Hz, J3 ) 7.7 Hz, 2H), 7.91 (s, 1H), 8.26 (s, 1H); 13 (7), 200 (30), 186 (37), 170 (39), 158 (100), 141 (27), 128 (79), 117 (23), 103 (24), 84 (22), 77 (68), 69 (40).…”
