13. For complexes previously prepared in our laboratories, the chemical shift of H2 has consistently appeared more upfield for the major ct isomer than for the corresponding minor β isomer (see Table S1, Supporting Information). The syn axial stereochemical assignments are based on the chemical shifts of the dithiane methine; the syn diastereomers (i.e., general type C in Figure 1) show a significant downfield shift.
