25. 1.7 equiv of t-BuLi was used to generate 2 for the consumption with the residual water.
26. The calculated chemical shifts (G1AO/6-31G**) of 1 were in agreement with the experimental data: See Supporting Information.
27. 13C NMR of 2 and 3 were confirmed by 1D NOE, HMQC, and HMBC experiments; see Supporting Information.
28. The benzylic protons of 5 were assigned to endo-protons, judging from ring current effect and comparison with those of 9-TMSfluorene and fluorene (see Supporting Information). It is consistent with the assignment of benzylic protons of 1, in which endo-protons at ca. 3.4 ppm are more than 1 ppm as high as exo-protons due to ring current effect. The calculation results given in ref 16 also supported the assignment of 5.
29. The exo-selective deuterogenation of the curved system was reported. See: Sygula, A.; Abdourazak, A. H.; Rabideau, P. W. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1996, 118, 339-343.
