Instrumentation: All new compounds were characterized by means of 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, 19 F NMR, FT-IR (thin film), and HR-MS. Copies of the 1 H-and 13 C-NMR spectra can be found at the end of each experimental procedure. NMR spectra were recorded using a Varian 400 MHz NMR spectrometer, Varian 500 MHz NMR spectrometer, or a Varian 600 MHz NMR spectrometer. All 1 H-NMR data are reported in δ units, parts per million (ppm), and were calibrated relative to the signals for residual chloroform (7.26 ppm) in deuterochloroform (CDCl3) or residual benzene (7.16 ppm) in deuterobenzene (C6D6). All 13 C-NMR data are reported in ppm relative to CDCl3 (77.16 ppm) and were obtained with 1 H decoupling unless otherwise stated. The following abbreviations or combinations thereof were used to explain the multiplicities: s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, q = quartet, br = broad, m = multiplet, and a = apparent. All IR spectra were taken on an FT-IR/Raman Thermo Nicolet 6700. High resolution mass spectra (HR-MS) were recorded on a Bruker microTOF mass spectrometer using ESI-TOF (electrospray ionizationtime of flight). Optical rotation data was obtained using a Perkin-Elmer 341 and Autopol VI automatic polarimeter. HPLC data was obtained using Agilent 1260 HPLC.
