General Information All chemicals were reagent grade and used as received if not mentioned. 1 H- and 13 C-NMR spectra were measured on a JEOL JNM-ECZS at 23 C at 400 and 100 MHz, respectively. A residual solvent peak was used as an internal standard ( 1 H-NMR: CDCl 3 7.24 ppm, CD 2 Cl 2 5.32 ppm; 13 C-NMR: CDCl 3 77.0 ppm, CD 2 Cl 2 53.8 ppm). High-resolution mass spectra (HRMS) were measured on a JEOL JMS-700 using fast atom bombardment (FAB) or electron impact (EI) mode. Gel permeable chromatography (GPC) was conducted on JAIGEL 1H and 2H using a JAI Recycling Preparative HPLC LC-908W with CHCl 3 as eluent. Biotage Initiator 2.0 was used for microwave conditions. Infrared (IR) spectra were recorded on a JASCO FT IR-4100 spectrometer. UV visible absorption spectra were recorded on a JASCO V-670 spectrometer. Fluorescence spectra were recorded on a JASCO FP6500 spectrometer. Melting points were determined on Standford Research Systems MPA 100 and were uncorrected. Merck pre-coated TLC plate (silica gel 60 F254 0.25 mm) was used for thin-layer chromatography (TLC) analysis. Preparative thin-layer chromatography (PTLC) was prepared using Wako Wakogel B-5F. The diffraction data for 3 precursor and 7d were recorded on a ADSC Q210 CCD area detector with a synchrotron radiation (λ= 0.70000 Å) at 2D beamline in Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL) at 100 K in house. The diffraction images were processed by using HKL3000. 1 The structures were solved by direct methods (SHELXS) 2 and refined by full-matrix least squares calculations on F 2 (SHELXL) 3 using the Olex2 program package. 4 S1
