  7. Samples were analyzed by gas chromatography on a Varian 3700 gas Chromatograph using standard packed columns (2.4 m × 2 mm, 3% OV 101 on Gas Chrom Q, 50–250 °C, programmed at 10 °C/min). Mass spectra were obtained on a Hewlett-Packard 5985B GC-MS system, using analogous conditions. The1HNMR spectra were obtained on a JEOL FX-90Q spectrometer, using CDCl3 as solvent and tetramethylsilane as internal standard
