  • An authentic sample of the salt was prepared by extraction of HI from an aqueous solution of NaI and HCl with a CH2Cl2 solution of 2
  • Evaporation of the dried CH2Cl2 solution gave a quantitative yield of 2-HI, mp 175–182°C, recryst. from isopropanol, mp 188–189dGC. 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CDC13) 7.4–8.0 (m), 5.5–5.6 (5-line m), 4.5–4.7 (m), 4.1–4.3 (m), 3.3 (s), 2.1–3.6 (m), 1.0 (t). The salt appeared identical to 2 in GC/MS and HPLC, exhibiting the same retention times and MS pattern
  • Reversed-phase chromatographic (RP-HPLC) conditions: column, Beckman Ultrasphere C8 (15 cm × 4.6 mm × 5 μ m) maintained at 43°C, mobile phase, 23% acetonitrile in .25 M KH2PO4-100 mM pentane-sulfonic acid, pH 2.7, flow rate 1.4 mL/min, detection 235 nm, .01 AUFS. Retention times: BE, 2.11 min., 2, 8.19 min
  • GC/MS: dried extracts of BE and 2 were reconstituted and derivitized with N-methyl-N-(trimethylsilyl) trifluoroacetamide/trimethylchlor-osilane (100/2). Instrument: Hewlett-Packard 5970B GC/MS equipped with a phenylmethyl-silicone column (Ultra-2, 12 m, .2 mm i.d., .33 μ m film), carrier gas, helium at 45 cm/sec and 200°C
  • Internal standards: TMS (CDCl3), 3-(trimethylsilyl)-propionic-2,2,3,3-d4 acid (D2O). Instruments: Varian EM360A NMR spectrometer (60 MHz), GE QE300 NMR spectrometer (300 MHz)
  • m/e calc'd for C18H22NO4: 317.37, found 317.2, 317 (M+, 31.3), 272 (16.4), 212 (10.4), 196 (76.9), 122 (8.9), 82 (100), 77 (25.4)
  • Ethanol solution containing 1 mg/ml of 2 was obtained from Radian Corporation, Austin, Texas 78720–1088
  • 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CDC13) 7.3–8.1 (m), 5.2–5.3 (m), 4.1–4.4 (m, CH2), 3.0–3.7 (m), 2.2 (s), 1.7–2.5 (m), 1.2 (t, CH3)
  • Using a spectrum simulation program resident on a GE 300 MHz spectrometer, the ethoxy spectrum was satisfactorily simulated as an ABX3 spin system: chemical shifts, A(4.26 ppm), B(4.12 ppm), X(1.24 ppm), coupling constants, J(A,B) = 12 Hz, J(A,X)=.J(B,X) = 7.1 Hz
