48. 3 could be used. The obtained data are of low resolution (2θmax: 27°) and are not complete (80%), but it was considered that the structure was of high enough quality to confirm the identity of compound 8. Compound 8 crystallizes with half a molecule in the unit cell (Ci symmetry). The fivemembered ring contained in the structure is disordered over two inverted positions with a ratio of 75:25.
