XII, or 4.1 g (68%) of compound XIII.
reaction mixture was flushed with argon, to the
solvent obtained was added 0.5 g of Lindlar catalyst,
and the mixture was stirred under argon till negative
test for peroxides (with acid solution of KI). The
catalyst was filtered off, the solvent was evaporated
in a vacuum of water-jet pump, and as residue was
obtained 5.4 g (89%) of anhydride IV with char-
acteristics identical to those reported in [5].
(b) Enololactone I (5 g, 0.033 mol) was ozonized
as above in 36 ml of anhydrous methanol, and to the
solution obtained was added thiourea (1.35 g,
0.0177 mol). The reaction mixture thus obtained was
stirred for 10 min, the separated precipitate was
filtered off, the solvent was removed, and from the
residue was isolated by chromatography on SiO2
(eluent pentane ether, 3: 1)1.6 g (31%) of methoxy-
lactone XI identical to that obtained by procedure a.
Anhydride IV (5.2 g, 0.03 mol) was stirred in 1%
water solution of oxalic acid (50 ml) for 3 h, then the
product was extracted into ethyl acetate, and the
extract was dried on MgSO4. The solvent was distill-
ed off, and the residue was subjected to column
chromatography on SiO2 (eluent pentane ether, 3: 1).
We obtained 3.4 g (87%) of lactol VI, mp 116.5
117 C, [ ]2D8 101.5 (c 1.0, EtOH), spectral char-
acteristics were the same as published in [5].

(b) Enololactone I (5g, 0.033mol) was ozonized
as above in 36 ml of anhydrous methanol, and to the
solution obtained was added at stirring 2.9 ml of
(CH3)2S. In 12 min MeOH was distilled off, to the
residue was added 1% water solution of oxalic acid
(50 ml), and the suspension obtained was stirred for
3 h; and the suspension got homogenous. Then the
hydrolysis product was extracted into ethyl acetate,
the extract was dried on MgSO4, filtered, two thirds
of the solvent was evaporated at 20 mm Hg, and the
separated crystals were filtered off. We obtained
3.83 g (82%) of compound VI identical to the above
described. From the mother liquor after evaporation
was additionally isolated 0.47 g (10%) of compound
VI. (c) Compound XVIIa (2 g, 0.01 mol) was stirred
with 18 ml of 1% water solution of oxalic acid.
Lactol VI resulting from hydrolysis was isolated as
described above in amount 1.23 g (87%).
