26. The other methylene proton at δ = 3.83 (d, J = 13.6 Hz) only correlates with the carbonyl carbon atoms.
27. At the magnetic field used (7 T) the chemical shift difference between the amide carbon atoms was too small (Δδ = 0.024 ppm, 1.8 Hz) to allow for their unequivocal assignment.
28. The correlation of this carbon with the proton of the chlorobenzene ring appearing at δ = 7.16 ppm (d, J = 13.6 Hz) allows its assignment.

37. 1H NMR spectrum of compound 2 h measured at room temperature showed broad signals for the aromatic protons, which resolved into well-defined multiplets when the spectrum was acquired at 233 K. At this temperature all signals of the phenyl substituent become inequivalent. This observations are consistent with restricted rotation of the phenyl group, most probably due to steric interactions.

44. The diastereotopic methylene protons of the benzyloxy groups showed three correlations in the HMBC spectrum: with the quaternary carbons corresponding to the carbamate and the ipso carbon, and with the ortho carbons of the phenyl ring. The protons linked to these carbons were assigned from their correlations observed in the HMQC spectrum: for the pair of protons at δ = 4.19 ppm and 4.81 ppm (J = 12.2 Hz), the ortho protons of the phenyl ring appear at δ = 7.23 ppm, while for those at δ = 4.67 and 4.84 ppm (J = 12.6 Hz) the corresponding ortho protons were identified as a multiplet at δ = 7.03 ppm.
