triethylammonium chloride which w<strong>as</strong> created <strong>as</strong> a by-product to the formation of the<br />

acetyl adduct III-3 <strong>as</strong> shown in scheme 3-1. The target compound is soluble in THF <strong>and</strong><br />

so did not precipitate out of the solution upon formation. The THF in the filtrate w<strong>as</strong><br />

fl<strong>as</strong>h distilled to give a free-flowing orange powder which w<strong>as</strong> identified <strong>as</strong> the target<br />

III-3. It w<strong>as</strong> later determined that this compound could be sublimed at 120 °C <strong>and</strong> this<br />

purified product w<strong>as</strong> used for the characterization described below.<br />

3.3 Characterization<br />

3.3.1 1 H NMR Spectroscopy<br />

The 1 H NMR spectrum w<strong>as</strong> obtained using DMSO-d 6 so that it could be effectively<br />

compared to the previous analogous compounds which were all obtained using the same<br />

solvent. The 1 H NMR for the starting material III-1 showed peaks corresponding to five<br />

hydrogen atoms. The farthest down field at δ = 10.65 ppm w<strong>as</strong> attributed to the OH<br />

proton not only due to the shift, but also on account of the fact that it is the only hydrogen<br />

atom that would be incapable of coupling to any of the others. The other peaks were<br />

within the region <strong>as</strong>sociated with aromatic protons <strong>and</strong> had shifts of δ = 8.44, 8.16 <strong>and</strong><br />

7.87 ppm. The farthest up field w<strong>as</strong> integrated to two protons, while the others were<br />
