14. After isolation and routine spectral measurements, it was evident that our sample of 2 was contaminated with traces of known elisabethin A, a strongly dextrorotatory substance. Thus, it is conceivable that the actual specific rotation of 2 is significantly lower than the value shown here; see: Rodríguez, A. D.; González, E.; Huang, S. D. J. Org. Chem. 1998, 63, 7083-7091.
