Ethyl acetate (50 mL) was added as dilute solvent, the mixture was filtered through Celite short column. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure; the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica-gel with CHCl3/EtOAc (15:1). After removed the solvent, the product was purified by using HPLC (KUSANO silica-gel column, 2.2 cmφ × 30 cmL, N = 976–11 205) to give 9a (210 mg, 70%). The same procedure used for the reduction of 8b was adopted with 8a. A mixture of 8a (300 mg, 0.57 mmol) and 12 mg of 5% Pd/C in MeOH (3 ml) were stirred under hydrogen atmosphere (1 atm) for 8 h at room temperature afforded 9b (201 mg, 67%). 3.3 Synthesis of comparing derivatives from MαNP ester of acetylenic octadecanol Comparing samples were derived from 8-a/8-b which have acetylenic MαNP esters by hydrogenation of triple bond. The reaction was carried out under hydrogen atmosphere (1 atm) on 5% Pd/C. The products are purified by HPLC with silica-gel glass column (2.2 cmφ × 30 cmL, hexane/EtyOAc□30/1). After reduction, saturated long chain ester 9-b (R,S)/9-a (R,R) with known absolute configuration were synthesized. 1H NMR spectra of (R,R)9a, (R,S)9b, and natural 11.
