X-ray crystallographic analysis of 6a TsOH 6a TsOH was prepared 6a and TsOH H 2 O (1.0 equiv). Crystallization Method:Re-crystallization from AcOEt and Hexane. Single crystal X-ray diffraction data were collected under nitrogen gas flow on Rigaku AFC-7R diffractometer and Mercury CCD detector equipped with graphite-monochoromatic Mo K radiation ( Å), installed at the institute of scientific and industrial research, Osaka University. A transparent block of crystal was mounted on LithoLoops (Moleclular Deimensions, USA) with vacuum grease under an optical microscope. The intensity data sets were integrated by CrystalClear software. 5 The absorption corrections were carried out by the empirical method. The structures were solved by direct methods using SIR2004 program 6 and refined by full-matrix least squares on F 2 using SHELXL-97 program 7, implemented in program package WinGX. 8 The final models include anisotropic refinement for the non-hydrogen atoms and an isotropic riding model for H atoms. Further details of the refinements are given table S1.
