The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated to give an oily residue, which was purified by silica gel column chromatography (n-hexane to AcOEt/n-hexane = 1/20) to give pure 6a (50 mg, 79%) as a colorless solid. Analytical sample was obtained by recrystallization from AcOEt (mp 224°C).
