The mixture was concentrated to a small volume and partitioned between ethyl acetate and saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution. The organic layer was separated and then washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, water (×3), brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (hexane to ethyl acetate) to afford the title compound (D16). MS (ES+) m/e 246/248 [M+H]+.
