Peracetylation of compound Z was performed in pyridine:acetic anhydride 1:1 for 1 h at 100 °C. After drying, three extractions with H2O:diethyl ether (1:1) were done; the ether phases were collected, washed three times with water and dried. MALDI-TOF MS analyses were performed in the positive ionization and reflectron mode, using the 5800 MALDI-TOF/TOF Analyzer (Applied Biosystems/ABsciex) equipped with a Nd:YAG laser (349 nm wavelength) as described previously16 (link). 1H-NMR and 1H-1H-NMR COSY spectra were recorded in CDCl3 at 298° K using a 600-MHz Bruker Avance III spectrometer (Bruker Biospin) equipped with a TCI cryoprobe. Chemical shift values were referenced to CHCl3 resonance (δH 7.26 ppm). The quantification of MAME unsaturations was performed with TopSpin 3.5 pl7 software.
