28. 3. Usual workup followed by silica gel chromatography (hexane → diethyl ether-hexane, 1:2) gave the recovered starting material (1.23 g) and crude products which were purified by recrystallization (ether and hexane) to furnish aminobisabolenes (a 2:1 mixture of 37 and 38, 195 mg, 4.4% yield based upon the consumed starting materials).
