3.7. Di-(−)-(1R,2S)-2-phenyl-1-cyclohexyl (E)-1-(20-hexen-40-yl)-1,2-diazanedicarboxylate 11
To a solution of diazenedicarboxylate 4 (22 mg, 0.051 mmol) and trans-3-hexene 7 (10 µL, 0.081
mmol) in dichloromethane (3 mL) cooled to −60°C under nitrogen, was added tin(IV) chloride (6
µL, 0.051 mmol). After 5 min the yellow solution turned colourless and water (0.5 mL) was added.
After extraction with dichloromethane (3×5 mL), the combined organic extracts were dried over
anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resultant oil was purified by
flash chromatography using hexane:ethyl acetate (9:1) as eluent to afford the title compound 11 (19 mg,
71%) as a colourless oil and as an 86:14 mixture of diastereomers. Further purification by HPLC on
a Whatman Partisil 5 normal phase silica column using hexane:ethyl acetate (9:1) as eluent afforded
the major diastereomer as a colourless oil; [α]D −38.9 (c 0.40, CHCl3); νmax (thin film)/cm−1 3385 br

3.8. Di-(−)-(1R,2S)-2-Phenyl-1-cyclohexyl (E)-1-(30-octen-50-yl)-1,2-diazanedicarboxylate 12
To a solution of diazenedicarboxylate 4 (38 mg, 0.087 mmol) and trans-4-octene 8 (13 µL, 0.087
mmol) in dichloromethane (2 mL) cooled to −60°C under nitrogen, was added tin(IV) chloride (10

After extraction with dichloromethane (3×5 mL), the combined organic extracts were dried over
