The reaction mixture was filtrated using a membrane filter and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude mixture was purified by flash silica gel column chromatography, using petroleum ether/ethyl acetate with different volume proportions as eluent, thus obtaining the desired compounds.
