17. Depending on the scale, different separation procedures were applied. Typically on > 2 g scale either 3a or 5a was selectively crystallized from the mixture (see Supporting Information for details), and the residue was purified by flash chromatography. On a smaller scale the diastereomers were separated by flash chromatography; for example, 1.21 g of a mixture of 3a/3b was separated by flash chromatography to give 3a (595 mg) and 3b (501 mg; 91% mass recovery).
