Soc. 1989, 111, 4379) by using the MM2* forcefield (N. L. Allinger, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1977, 99, 8127) as implemented in MacroModel v 8.0.

82. -3. The non-hydrogen atoms were refined with anisotropic displacement parameters. Hydrogen atoms were located in Fourier maps and their positions adjusted geometrically (after each cycle of refinement) with isotropic thermal parameters. One hydroxyl group was modelled as disordered over two positions (O(101)-H-(401) and O(102)-H(402)) with refined occupancies. A Chebychev weighting scheme was applied (reference [60]).
