General Information IR spectra were recorded by an FT/IR spectrometer using an ATR (ZnSe) attachment. 1 H NMR spectra were recorded at 400 or 600 MHz and 13 C NMR spectra were recorded at 100 or 150 MHz with TMS as an internal standard in CDCl 3. High-resolution MS data were obtained by operating in the EI or FAB mode. Column chromatography was performed using 70 230 mesh silica gel. Solvents for reactions were distilled prior to use: THF and DME from Na and benzophenone; CH 2 Cl 2 from CaH 2 ; toluene and Et 2 from LiAlH 4. All air- or moisture-sensitive reactions were conducted under a nitrogen atmosphere unless otherwise stated.
