liquid. The crude oil was exposed to silica gel column chro-
matography and eluted with ethyl acetate in hexane gave
the desired homopropargylalcohol/homopropargylamine.
Step 2: The homopropargylalcohol/N-protected homopropargy-
lamine [1 eq] was dissolved in dry THF [6 ml] under an inert
atmosphere in a 2 neck round bottle flask and cooled down
to −78ºC in an immersion cooler. To this solution, n-BuLi
[2.2 eq, 2.5 M in hexanes] was added dropwise and stirring
was continued at the same temperature for 1 hour. At this
point, the corresponding aldehyde [1 eq] was added neat,
and the mixture was allowed to attain room temperature

tral data were reported as δ (multiplicity, Coupling constant, in-
tegration). Multiplicity reported as follows, s = singlet, d = doublet,
t =triplet, q = quartet, m = multiplate, dd = doublet of a doublet
etc. IR spectra were recorded on a Shimadzu FTIR spectrometer

diation (λ= 0.71073 A) at 100(2)K and 293(2)K respectively. The
program Bruker SAINT [19] was used for the data reduction process
and empirical absorption correction was used based on the multi-
scan method [20]. The structure of the title compounds was solved
by direct method and refined by the full-matrix least-squares tech-
nique on F2 using the programs (SHELXS-14) [21] and (SHELXL-18)
[
22], respectively. The hydrogen atoms were placed at their geo-
metrically idealized positions and refined isotropically. The struc-
ture solution of the title compounds was carried out by using
WinGX program V2014.1 [23] and geometrically analyzed by PLA-
TON [24]. The details of crystal data and structure refinement pa-
rameters are included in Table 1. CCDC 2,044,801 and 2,045,176

.4. Hirshfeld surface analysis
The Hirshfeld surface [25-28] analyses have been performed
based on electron distribution of the molecules that have been cal-
culated as the sum of spherical atom electron densities [29,30].
Hirshfeld surface is unique for each and individual molecule and
a set of spherical atomic electron densities [31]. The normalized
contact distance is called (dnorm) that have been calculated based
on de, di, and the vdW radii of the atom where de and d are de-
i
fined as the distance from the point to the nearest nucleus ex-
ternal and internal to the surface respectively. The 2D fingerprint
plot [31-34] is generated by binning both de and d parameters that
i
display the details of the quantified intermolecular interactions of
the investigating structures. The program CrystalExplorer17 [35] has
been used to perform the Hirshfeld surface calculations.
