17. X-ray crystallographic analysis of single crystals of 1, whilst supporting the atom connectivity, were unable to provide sufficiently high quality data to allow the absolute stereochemical assignment of 1. CCDC-238391, -243020, and -238392 contain the supplementary crystallographic data for this paper. These data can be obtained free of charge from The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre via www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/data_request/cif.
