ABSTRACT: In this report, originally proposed apratoxin E (30S-7), revised apratoxin E (30R-7), and (30S)/(30R)oxoapratoxin E (30S)-38/(30R)-38 were efficiently prepared by two synthetic methods. The chiral lactone 10, recycled from the degradation of saponin glycosides, was utilized to prepare the key nonpeptide fragment 9. Our alternative convergent assembly strategy was applied to the divergent synthesis of revised apratoxin E and its three analogues. Moreover, ring-closing metathesis (RCM) was for the first time found to be an efficient strategy for the macrocyclization of apratoxins.

Additional marine secondary metabolites of apratoxins,7 isolated from the Lyngbya species of cyanobacteria, exhibit highly potent cytotoxicity against some cancer cell lines. Structurally, they possess a novel thiazoline ring in the macrocycle. Apratoxin A7c (4), isolated from the remarkably prolific Lyngbya majuscula collected in Guam, is sensitive toward acid-induced dehydration leading to (E)-dehydroapratoxin A (6).7d The dehydration resulted in two conformers, which showed 3:2 ratio in NMR (CDCl3). Apratoxin D7e (5), obtained from the same species collected in Papua New Guinea, contains a longer polyketide sequence than other apratoxins by an acetate group. All members of apratoxins exhibit potent in vitro cytotoxicity against LoVo cell lines (IC50 = 0.38−10.8 nM) and the KB (IC50 = 0.52−21.3 nM) or other cell lines by inducing G1 phase specific cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Because of their unique scaffolds and interesting biological activities, tremendous efforts have been devoted to the asymmetric synthesis of apratoxins A, C, D, F and corresponding analogues,8 as well as the studies on their mechanism of action9 and biosynthetic pathways.10 Apratoxin E (7),7f which was isolated from Lyngbya bouillonii collected in Guam by the Luesch group, contains a different peptide− polyketide hybrid.

INTRODUCTION Secondary metabolites derived from marine cyanobacteria are a promising class of compounds for drug discovery due to their interesting biological activities, including antifungal, antimicrobial, antimalarial, cytotoxic, and neurotoxic properties.1 Among them, cyanobacterial cyclodepsipeptides, predominantly with structural skeletons as depsipeptides and peptide−polyketide hybrids, have attracted significant attention in recent years.2 Several of them were selected as novel pharmaceuticals and are currently being evaluated in human clinical trials for cancer treatment.3 As most cyanobacterial metabolites are not well studied, further investigation is required to understand their modes of actions.4 For example, lagunamide A5 (1), which was isolated from the marine cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula collected in Pulau Hantu Beser, Singapore, displayed potent cytotoxic activity against P388 murine leukemia cell lines (IC50 = 6.4 nM, 20.5 nM, and 24.4 nM, respectively) and selective growth inhibitory activities against a panel of other cancer cell lines, including A549, PC3, HCT8, and SK-OV3 (IC50 = 1.6− 3.8 nM) (Figure 1). Hoiamides A (2) and B (3), which were isolated from an environmental assemblage of the marine cyanobacteria Moorea producens and Phormidium gracile collected in Papua New Guinea,6 showed stimulation of sodium influx in mouse neocortical neurons (EC50 values are 1.7 and 3.9 μM, respectively) and exhibited modest cytotoxicity to cancer cells. © 2017 American Chemical Society

apratoxin E was originally assigned as 30S, which was based on its biosynthetic path. In 2016, we completed the asymmetric synthesis of 30S-7. 8e Due to the complexity in the spectroscopic NMR of the two conformers, we incorrectly claimed our synthetic 30S-7 as the natural product. Right after the publication of our partial work,8e our colleague Li and the Zhang and Luesch group jointly published the revision of its structure from 30S to 30R.8f As a continuation of our interest in developing divergent syntheses of natural products isolated from cyanobacteria and investigating their structure−activity relationships,5d,f,11 we quickly looked into the synthesis of 30R7, which confirmed the revised stereochemistry. Herein we present the effective approach to synthesize the revised apratoxin E (30R-7) and its three non-natural analogues.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION First, we aimed to synthesize the proposed apratoxin E (30S-7). Our initial strategy for asymmetric synthesis of 30S-7 is illustrated in Figure 2, with stereoselective synthesis of nonpeptide fragment 8 and effective macrocyclization as our main focus in constructing this target molecule. We plan to use a cross-metathesis (CM)12 reaction to form the double bond between C34 and C35 and explore macrolactamization at two different connection points for the final ring closure. Moreover, the concept of “f rom nature to nature” was applied in our asymmetric synthesis of proposed apratoxin E (30S-7). In other words, the key fragment 9 could be prepared from industrial waste13 10, and another fragment 11 could be derived from glutamic acid. The preparation of nonpeptide fragment 9 is shown in Scheme 1. Chiral lactone 10 was isolated from the industrial wastewater during the degradation of saponin glycosides13 in 22% yield. Treatment of 10 with benzyl chloride (BnCl) and NaOH in toluene under refluxing conditions resulted in the ring opening and simultaneous selective benzylation of the primary alcohol.14 Upon protection of the carboxylic acid, the crude ester 12 was reduced with LiAlH4 and the resulting diol

was subjected to oxidative cleavage (NaIO4) to provide the aldehyde. The introduction of the tert-butyl group was achieved by nucleophilic addition with a solution of tert-butylmagnesium chloride, which obviously gave a mixture of two diasteromers (dr = 1:1). This new stereocenter could be enriched through an 10831

thiazoline (4S)-8 in 86% yield. Finally, the deprotection of the allyl group in thiazoline (4S)-8 was achieved by treatment with catalytic amount of Pd(PPh3)4 in N-methylaniline to give the acid (4S)-24 in 88% yield.23 The final assembly to proposed apratoxin E (30S-7) was shown in Scheme 4. Tripeptide 25 was prepared by sequential condensation of N-methylisoleucine allyl ester with N-Boc-Nmethylalanine and N-Fmoc-O-methyltyrosine according to the known method.8e Upon the removal of Fmoc in 25 with Et2NH, the resulting free amine was coupled with carboxylic acid (4S)-24 using pentafluorophenyl diphenylphophinate (FDPP)24 in acetonitrile to afford the amide (30S)-26 in 75% yield. The sequential cleavage of allyl ester by Pd(PPh3)4 in N-methylaniline and removal of the Fmoc protecting group with Et2NH/CH3CN afforded the crude cyclization precursor, which was subjected to macrolactamization (HATU/DIPEA)20 to give proposed apratoxin E (30S-7) in 19% overall isolated yield. In order to improve the yield of final macrolactamization, we turned our attention to the final amidation between the less hindered carboxylic acid and primary amino group, i.e., C27−N (Scheme 5). After the removal of the allyl protection in tripeptide fragment 25 and the N-Fmoc protecting group in nonpeptide fragment (4S)-8, the resulting free carboxylic acid 27 and free amine 28 were coupled in the presence of HATU/ DIPEA to generate 29 in 73% overall yield. Similar sequential cleavage of allyl ester by Pd(PPh3)4 in N-methylaniline and removal of the Fmoc protecting group with Et2NH/CH3CN gave the cyclization precursor, which underwent subsequent macrolactamization using FDPP25 as condensation reagent to afford proposed apratoxin E (30S-7) in 43% overall isolated yield. The product could be further purified by RP C18 HPLC with 80% aqueous CH3CN (Sepax-tech Amethyst C18 semipreparative column, 250 mm × 150 mm, 10 mL/min, refractive index detection) [[α]D23 −150.4 (c 0.24, MeOH), lit.8f [α]D20 −163.4 (c 0.106, MeOH)], to afford >99% purity. Both 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic data are consistent with those in the literature for the proposed structure.8f After the successful synthesis of proposed apratoxin E (30S7), we turned our attention to the asymmetric synthesis of revised apratoxin E (30R-7) according to the similar synthetic route by using (R)-11 derived from D-glutamate (Scheme 6). It is worth noting that the amide coupling of free acid from (4R)8 and free amine from 25 is very interesting. Although HATU

oxidative and stereoselective reduction process. Thus, compound 13 was oxidized with Dess−Martin periodinane (DMP)15 to give the desired ketone 14, which was then reduced with BH3·DMS and a catalytic amount of Corey’s chiral borane, R-CBS catalyst.16 This sequence led to the enhancement of the desired isomer with syn/anti = 88:12, and both isomers could be separated by silica gel chromatography. The subsequent transformations were straightforward. Protection (TBSOTf, 2,6-lutidine) of the single isomer 15 and subsequent hydrogenation (Pd/C, H2) generated the desired primary alcohol 16 in 76% overall yield. Iodination of the alcohol 16, followed by a copper-catalyzed Grignard coupling reaction17 with vinylmagnesium bromide, successfully led to the olefin 9 in 84% overall yield. The synthesis of another chiral fragment (S)-11 of proposed apratoxin E (30S-7) was described in Scheme 2. Protection (Boc2O) and subsequent reduction18 (NaBH4) of the glutamic acid derivative (S)-17 gave the desired alcohol (S)-18 in 69% overall yield, which was conveniently converted to its sulfide (S)-19 according to the known method19 in 79% yield. Deprotection (TFA) of (S)-19 and subsequent coupling with acrylic acid using HATU20 generated amide (S)-11 in 71% yield. With both fragments 9 and (S)-11 in hand, we began to construct the thiazoline unit (4S)-24 (Scheme 3). (4S)-20 was obtained by CM reaction in 60% yield (E/Z > 99:1). After the benzyl ester was switched to allylic protection through hydrolysis (LiOH) and subsequent alkylation (AllylBr/ K2CO3), the resulting compound (4S)-21 was subjected to a solution of HCl (6 N)/EtOAc to produce the secondary alcohol (4S)-22 in 82% isolated yield, which was coupled with N-Fmoc-proline under Yamaguchi conditions21 to give (4S)-23 in 89% yield. Then, compound (4S)-23 was treated with POPh3/Tf2O22 in CH2Cl2 at 0 °C to form the desired 10832

As shown in Scheme 7, compounds (S)-30/(R)-30 were prepared from glutamic acid derivatives (S)-18/(R)-18. After the protection of (S)-18/(R)-18 as corresponding siloxanes (S)-32/(R)-32 in 84% yield, the removal of N-Boc and subsequent amidation with acrylyl chloride resulted in (S)-30/ (R)-30 in 78% yield. Then the benzyl esters were hydrolyzed to give the corresponding carboxylic acids (S)-33/(R)-33. With fragments (S)-33/(R)-33, tripeptide 25, and compound 9 in hand, we focused on the above convergent assembly strategy for divergent synthesis of apratoxin E and its analogues. As shown in Scheme 8, desilylation of compound 9 and subsequent coupling with N-Fmoc-proline under Yamaguchi conditions afforded 31 in 80% overall yield. Amidation (HATU/DIPEA) with free amine of 25, which was obtained under Et2NH/CH3CN conditions, was conducted to give compound 34 in 73% yield. Further couplings with the acids (S)-33/(R)-33 using FDPP, upon the treatment of 34 with Et2NH/CH3CN, produced (30S)-35 (75%) and (30R)-35 (77%), respectively. RCM macrocyclization28 of (30S)-35/ (30R)-35 successfully produced the desired (30S)-36/(30R)36 (70% for (30S)-36, 67% for (30R)-36) with high selectivity (E:Z > 99:1). With the macrocyclic structure in hand, the formation of the oxazoline ring was straightforward. The removal of the TBS group in 36 gave the alcohols (30S)-37 (82%) and (30R)-37 (76%), respectively. Finally, the treatment of 37 with DAST29 in CH2Cl2 at −78 °C led to the desired oxoapratoxin E ((30S)-38) [α]D18 −64 (c 0.15, CHCl3), ((30R)-38) [α]D25 −53.2 (c 0.25, CHCl3), in good yields (77%

could effectively promote the amidation, compound (30R)-26 was observed to be relatively unstable during the repeated purification by flash chromatography on silica gel, and partial decomposition was also observed in CDCl3 solution for 2 days. Therefore, the crude (30R)-26 from FDPP coupling was quickly purified by flash chromatography on short silica gel, and the resulted pure product was treated sequentially with Pd(PPh3)4/N-methylaniline and Et2NH/CH3CN for the removal of allyl ester and Fmoc, respectively. The resulting crude cyclization precursor was quickly subjected to macrolactamization (HATU/DIPEA) to provide revised apratoxin E (30R-7) [[α]D17 = −59 (c 0.25, MeOH), lit.7f [α]D20 = −69 (c 0.12, MeOH); lit.8f [α]D20 = −68 (c 0.182, MeOH)] in 21% overall isolated yield. The spectroscopic and physical data of the synthetic (30R)-apratoxin E (30R-7) were identical to the reported data.7f,8f Although the originally proposed and revised apratoxin (30S7, 30R-7) were successfully synthesized, we proposed an alternative convergent strategy26 using a ring-closure metathesis (RCM)27 reaction to form the double bond between C34 and C35 in the final stage as macrocyclization (Figure 3). This new approach assembles fragments 25, (S)-30/(R)-30, and 31, allowing for the synthesis of diverse new apratoxin E analogues which are not quickly accessible through traditional step-bystep methods.7b More importantly, the key (S)-30/(R)-30 and 31 fragments are simple chemical subunits which could be prepared on the basis of our concept of “f rom nature to nature”. 10833

for (30S)-38, 81% for (30R)-38, respectively). The structures of oxoapratoxin E ((30S)-38 and (30R)-38) were unambiguously confirmed by two-dimensional NMR and the spectroscopic data of 1H and 13C NMR data. In order to effectively synthesize apratoxin E and its analogues through the above convergent assembly strategy, we prepared the thiazoline fragments (S)-39/(R)-39 (Scheme 9). Upon hydrolysis (LiOH) of (S)-11/(R)-11 and subsequent alkylation (AllylBr/K2CO3), the benzyl ester was switched to allylic ester (S)-40/(R)-40 in 72% yield. Then, compounds (S)-40/(R)-40 were treated with Ph3PO/Tf2O in CH2Cl2 at 0 °C to form the desired thiazolines (S)-39/(R)-39 in 56% yield.

After the Fmoc protecting group of 34 and the Allyl protecting group of (S)-39/(R)-39 were removed, the resulted crude amine and acid were subjected to amidation (FDPP/ DIPEA) to give compounds (30S)-42/(30R)-42 in 57% and 52% yields, respectively (Scheme 10). Finally, the RCM macrocyclization28 afforded the desired revised apratoxin E (30R-7) [α]D17 = −59 (c 0.25, MeOH) [lit.7f [α]D20 = −69 (c 0.12, MeOH); lit.8f [α]D20 = −68 (c 0.12, MeOH)] and originally proposed apratoxin E (30S-7) [[α]D23 = −150.4 (c 0.24, MeOH); lit.8f [α]D20 = −163.4 (c 0.106, MeOH)] with high selectivity (E/Z > 99:1) and in moderate yields (38% for 30S-7, 41% for 30R-7). 10834

EXPERIMENTAL SECTION

General Methods. THF was distilled from sodium/benzophenone. Reactions were monitored by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) on glass plates coated with silica gel with fluorescent indicator. Flash chromatography was performed on silica gel (300−400) with petroleum/EtOAc as eluent. Optical rotations were measured on a polarimeter with a sodium lamp. HRMS spectra were measured on a LCMS-IT-TOF or LTQ-Orbitrap-XL apparatus. IR spectra were recorded using film on a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. NMR spectra were recorded at 400, 500 or 600 MHz, and chemical shifts are reported in δ (ppm) referenced to an internal TMS standard for 1H NMR and CDCl3 (77.16 ppm) for 13C NMR. Methyl (2S,4R)-5-(Benzyloxy)-2-hydroxy-4-methylpentanoate 12. The lactone 10 (5.00 g, 38.43 mmol) was dissolved in toluene (60 mL), and then NaOH (6.15 g, 153.72 mmol) and BnCl (8.80 mL, 76.86 mmol) were added. After the mixture was refluxed for 12 h, water was added. Extraction were performed with Et2O three times, and the aqueous phase was acidified with hydrochloric acid. The resulting mixture was extracted with EtOAc (60 mL × 3), and the combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to give the crude acid without further purification. The above crude acid was dissolved in MeOH (60 mL), and then H2SO4 (1.00 mL, 98%) was carefully added dropwise. After the mixture was refluxed for 4 h, the reaction was quenched with water. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (50 mL × 3), and the combined organic layers were washed with brine. The product was dried, filtrated, and concentrated to give the crude ester without further purification: [α]D23 = +6.2 (c 1.00, CHCl3); IR (film) νmax 3450, 2958, 2851, 2359, 1737, 1458, 1211, 1092, 740, 701 cm−1; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.17−7.05 (m, 5H), 4.35−4.27 (m, 2H), 4.14−4.03 (m, 1H), 3.57 (s, 3H), 3.17−3.15 (m, 1H), 3.15−3.12 (m, 1H), 1.97−1.85 (m, 1H), 1.60−1.42 (m, 2H), 0.82−0.78 (m, 3H); 13C NMR (150 MHz, CDCl3) δ 175.8, 138.2, 133.6, 130.2, 128.4, 127.6, 75.9, 73.1, 69.3, 52.4, 39.3, 30.6, 16.8; HRMS (ESI-TOF) m/z [M + H]+ calcd for C14H20O4H 253.1434, found 253.1434.

After being stirred for 10 h, the resulting mixture was carefully quenched with water (0.5 mL) and filtrated. The filtrate was concentrated to give the crude diol without further purification. The above diol was dissolved in water (50 mL), and then the mixture was acidified with hydrochloric acid to pH = 6 at 0 °C. NaIO4 (9.87 g, 46.15 mmol) was added in one portion and the resulting mixture stirred for 1.5 h. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (30 mL × 3), and the combined organic layers were washed with brine. The product was dried, filtrated, and concentrated to give the aldehyde without further purification. The above crude aldehyde was dissolved in dry THF (60 mL), the mixture was cooled to 0 °C, and then a solution of tertbutylmagnesium chloride (1 M in THF, 58.0 mL, 58.00 mmol) was slowly added dropwise. After the mixture was stirred for overnight, the reaction was quenched with an aqueous solution of saturated NH4Cl, and the resulting mixture was extracted with EtOAc (30 mL × 3). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried, filtrated, and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (PE/EA = 10:1) to give 13 (4.52 g, 47%, five steps) as a colorless oil. The above alcohol (4.17 g, 16.65 mmol) was dissolved in cooled DCM (60 mL, 0 °C), and then DMP (10.60 g, 24.98 mmol) was added in several portions. After being stirred for 3 h, the mixture was carefully quenched with a solution of saturated aqueous NaHCO3 and solid Na2S2O3. The resulting mixture was extracted with DCM (30 mL × 3), and the combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried, filtrated, and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (PE/EA = 20:1) to give 14 (3.60 g, 87%) as a colorless oil: [α]D23 = +6.7 (c 4.00, CHCl3); IR (film) νmax 2966,

CONCLUSION In summary, our concept of “f rom nature to nature” was successfully applied to synthesize revised apratoxin E (30R-7) and its three analogues (30S-7, 30R-38, and 30S-38). It is worth mentioning that the convergent assembly process was an effective approach to divergently synthesize revised apratoxin E (30R-7) and its three analogues. Moreover, ring-closing metathesis (RCM) proved to be an alternative approach for the macrocyclization of analogues of apratoxin E. Further efforts on the extension of this strategy are ongoing in our 10835

General Procedure for the Synthesis of (4S)-8 and (4R)-8. Triphenylphosphine oxide (746 mg, 2.70 mmol) was dissolved in DCM (3 mL) and cooled to 0 °C, and then trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (0.23 mL, 1.35 mmol) was added at 0 °C. After the solution was stirred for 10 min, a solution of compound (4S)-23/(4R)-23 (423 mg, 0.45 mmol) in DCM (2 mL) was added dropwise, and the mixture was stirred for 10 min. Then the mixture was quenched with a saturated aqueous solution of NaHCO3 and extracted with DCM (20 mL × 3). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, filtrated, and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (PE/EA = 4:1) to give the desired product. 10839

General Procedure for the Synthesis of Proposed Apratoxin E (30S-7) and Revised Apratoxin E (30R-7) through Macrolactamization at C6−N. A solution of compound (30S)-26/(30R)26 (220 mg, 0.20 mmol) and Pd(PPh3)4 (24 mg, 0.02 mmol) in dry THF (5 mL) was treated with N-methylaniline (0.06 mL, 0.50 mmol) for 30 min. The mixture was concentrated, and the residue was purified by flash chromatography (DCM/MeOH = 20:1) to give the acid. The above acid was dissolved in MeCN (2 mL), and then Et2NH (1 mL) was added. After the mixture was stirred for 30 min at room temperature, the mixture was concentrated and dissolved in DCM (200 mL). HATU (114 mg, 0.30 mmol) and DIPEA (0.66 mL, 4.00 mmol) were added, and the mxiture was stirred for 40 h. The mixture was concentrated, and the residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (PE/EA = 1:1) to give the desired product.

Method of Synthesis for Proposed Apratoxin E (30S-7) by Macrolactamization at C27−N. A solution of compound 29 (110 mg, 0.10 mmol) and Pd(PPh3)4 (11.5 mg, 0.01 mmol) in dry THF (3 mL) was treated with N-methylaniline (0.03 mL, 0.25 mmol) for 30 min. Then the reaction was concentrated and purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (DCM/MeOH = 20:1) to give the acid, which was dissolved in MeCN (2 mL), and Et2NH (1 mL) was added. After being stirred for 30 min at room temperature, the mixture was concentrated, and the residue was dissolved in MeCN (100 mL). Then FDPP (57.6 mg, 0.15 mmol) and DIPEA (0.33 mL, 2.00 mmol) were added, and the reaction was stirred for 40 h. The mixture was concentrated and purified by flash chromatography silica gel (PE/EA = 1:1) to give proposed apratoxin E (30S-7) (34.2 mg, 43%, three steps). General Procedure for the Synthesis of (S)-32 and (R)-32.

General Procedure for the Synthesis of (S)-30 and (R)-30. A solution of (S)-32 or (R)-32 (2.19 g, 5 mmol) in DCM (20 mL) was treated with 2.6-lutidine (3.49 mL, 30 mmol) and TMSOTf (2.71 mL, 15 mmol) at 0 °C. After being stirred for 5 h at 0 °C to room temperature, the resulting mixture was quenched with a saturated aqueous solution of NaHCO3 and extracted with DCM (20 mL × 3). The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4, filtrated, and concentrated to give the crude product without further purification. The above crude product was dissolved in DCM under Ar atmosphere, and then TEA (1.39 mL, 10 mmol) and acrylyl chloride (0.81 mL, 10 mmol) were added at 0 °C. After being stirred for 8 h at 0 °C to room temperature, the resulting mixture was quenched with a saturated aqueous solution of NH4Cl and extracted with DCM (20 mL × 3). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtrated, and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (PE/EA = 5:1) to give the desired compound. 10841

General Procedure for the Synthesis of (30S)-42 and (30R)42. To a solution of (S)-39 or (R)-39 (88 mg, 0.39 mmol) in THF (5 mL) were added Pd(PPh3)4 (46 mg, 0.04 mmol) and N-methylaniline (0.10 mL, 0.96 mmol). After being stirred for 1 h, the mixture was concentrated and purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (DCM/MeOH = 30:1) to give crude acid (S)-41/(R)-41 (63 mg, 87%). Compound 34 (237 mg, 0.27 mmol) was dissolved in MeCN (2 mL), then Et2NH (1 mL) was added. After being stirred for 30 min, the reaction mixture was concentrated. The residue was azeotroped with toluene three times and dissolved in MeCN (3 mL), then (S)-41/ (R)-41 (50 mg, 0.27 mmol), FDPP (155 mg, 0.41 mmol) and DIPEA (0.14 mL, 0.81 mmol) was added. After being stirred for overnight at room temperature, the resulting mixture was quenched with a saturated aqueous solution of NH4Cl and extracted with EtOAc (15 mL × 3). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtrated and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (DCM/MeOH = 40:1) to give the desired compound.
