Azides [43] were prepared according to procedures reported in the
literature. The other chemicals were obtained from commercial
suppliers (Aldrich, USA and Shanghai Chemical Company, China)
and used without purification. All organic solvents were dried
using standard methods.
93–97% purity determined by HPLC, which were further purified
by flash silica gel column chromatography eluted with ethyl ace-
tate/hexane to provide pure products 5a–5j for their structure
analyses.
