CH2Cl2 (50 mL) were placed, under N2, into a two-necked flask
equipped with a magnetic stirrer and a reflux condenser. The mixture
was stirred for 10 min and then DCCI (0.96 g, 46.28 mmol) was
added. After 2 h no more traces of 3 and 6 were detected (TLC). After
filtration on silica gel and elimination of the solvent by reduced
pressure, chemically pure (HPLC, NMR) 1 (1.20 g, 75% yield) was re-
