25. 4 symmetrie is possible which leads to the observation of time-averaged NMR spectra. This information serves as the basis for assigning the structures of 3 and 5.
26. 1H NMR spectrum. The individual assignments of all signals is difficult as they are partially hidden by substituent absorptions or overlap which each other. Therefore, the low-field and high-field signals were used for the structure elucidation.
