NaHCO3 (1 mL). The obtained suspension was cooled (0 ꢀC) and the
precipitate was filtered, washed with ice-cold H2O and petroleum
ether, and dried to give 24a (0.126 g, 85%) as a mixture of trans- and
cis-diastereomers in a ratio of 96:4. An analytically pure sample
(only trans-isomer) was obtained after crystallization from DMF.
