16. The relative relationship was able to speculate from the coupling constants between the C1- and C2-methin protons. The values of syn-isomers are ranged around 4 Hz. Instead, those of the corresponding anti-isomers exhibit the larger value around 8 Hz. A similar empirical rule was also reported by Nakai, see; Mikami, K.; Kimura, Y.; Kishi, N.; Nakai, T. J. Org. Chem. 1983, 48, 279-281.

34. The enantiomeric excess of the synthetic (+)-eupomatilone 2 was confirmed as 89% ee by chiral HPLC (Column: CHIRALPAK AD-H, solvent: hexane-i-PrOH = 9:1, flow rate: 1 mL/min).
