To a stirred solution of 7 (550 mg, 1.29 mmol) in dry
CH2Cl2 (25 mL) was added montmorillonite K10 (550 mg)
at 0ꢀC, and the reaction mixture was stirred at 0ꢀC for 2 hr.
After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was
filtrated and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was
purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with
15% EtOAc in hexane to give 8 (83 mg, 15%) and
9 (91 mg, 17%).
To a stirred solution of 5 (310 mg, 1.14 mmol) in dry
CH2Cl2 (40 mL) under N2 was added DIPEA (1 mL,
5.48 mmol) and MOMCl (0.48 mL, 2.85 mmol) at 0ꢀC, and
the mixture was stirred at 0ꢀC for 1 hr. To the reaction mix-
ture was added water and extracted with CH2Cl2 three times.
The combined organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered,
and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel col-
umn chromatography eluting with 10% EtOAc in hexane to
give 6 (320 mg, 78%) as a yellow oil. IR (νmax, KBr) 3,078,

To a stirred solution of 6 (608 mg, 1.91 mmol) in acetone
(35 mL) was added K2CO3 (790 mg, 5.73 mmol) and prenyl
bromide (0.4 mL, 2.87 mmol), and the reaction mixture was
refluxed overnight. After cooling, acetone was removed
using a rotavaporator, and water was added. The mixture
was extracted with EtOAc three times. The combined
organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concen-
trated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chro-
