using a 1.0 mL cell. IR spectra were recorded on a PerkinElmer Spectrum One
FT-IR spectrometer. 1D and 2D NMR spectra were recorded with a Bruker Avance 400
MHz instrument at 400 MHz for 1H NMR and 100 MHz for 13C
NMR. Chemical shift values (δ) are given in parts per
million (ppm), and the coupling constants (J) are in hertz
(Hz). All of the chemical shifts were recorded with respect to the deuterated
solvent shift (CDCl3: δH 7.24 for
the proton resonance and δC 77.0 for the
carbon, MeOH-d4:
δH 3.31 for the proton resonance and
δC 49.1 for the carbon). Both low- and
high-resolution mass spectra were recorded on a Micromass LCT Premier XE mass
spectrometer. X-ray structures were run on a Bruker D8 Venture instrument. All
solvents used were spectral grade or distilled prior to use.
