were used as purchased from commercial sources without further purification.
Flash chromatography was performed using 300-mesh silica gel. All
reactions were monitored by TLC using silica-gel plates with fluorescence
F254 and UV-light visualization. 1H NMR spectra were recorded
on a Bruker AV-400 spectrometer at 400 MHz or a Bruker AV-500 spectrometer
at 500 MHz. 13C NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker AV-500
spectrometer at 125 MHz. Coupling constants (J) are
expressed in hertz (Hz). Chemical shifts (δ) of NMR are reported
in parts per million (ppm) relative to an internal standard (TMS).
Low- and high-resolution of ESI-MS was recorded on an Agilent 1200
HPLC-MSD mass spectrometer and an Applied Biosystems Q-STAR Elite
ESI-LC-MS/MS mass spectrometer, respectively. Purities of the final
compounds,
to be >95% by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography
(HPLC, Dionex Summit HPLC; Diamonsil C18 column, 5.0 μm, 4.6
× 250 mm, Dikma Technologies; PDA-100 photodiode-array detector;
ASI-100 autoinjector; p-680A pump). A flow rate of 1.0 mL/min was
used with a mobile phase of 90% MeOH in H2O with 0.1% modifier
(ammonia, v/v).
