For X-ray analysis of 5a, single crystals were obtained as
follows: a solution of n-BuLi (1.6 M, 0.2 mL, 0.32 mmol) was
very slowly added to a solution of bromide 7 (100 mg, 0.34
mmol) in absolute Et2O (1 mL) at –20 oC under an argon
atmosphere. After 30 min the solution was removed via
syringe and the resulted yellow crystals were immediately
covered with 1 ml of Fomblin® Y to prevent the interaction
with air components. When a suitable single crystal sample
was chosen, it was accurately (avoiding a contact with air)
transferred into the epoxy glue and then mounted onto the
glass fibre attached to the goniometer head. X-Ray experiment
was carried out at 120 K. Collected data were analyzed by the
SAINT and SADABS programs incorporated into the APEX2
program package.32 The structure was solved by the direct
method and refined by the full-matrix least-squares procedure
against F2 in anisotropic approximation. Positions of hydrogen
atoms were calculated and included in the refinement within
isotropic approximation using the riding model. The
