The combined organic extracts were dried and concentrated, and the resulting residue was chromatographed (9:1 to 1:4 hexane-EtOAc) to give compounds cis-4 (2.58 g, 73%) and trans-4 (0.60 g, 17%). Operating as above (reaction conditions: 16 h at room temperature), from dithiane 2 (2.33 g, 9.9 mmol) and lactam 3 (2 g, 8.2 mmol) was obtained trans-4 (3.6 g, 93%) after flash chromatography.
