20. The crude mixture in reaction of molecule 1 by NaN3 was measured by NMR spectra. An unidentified molecule with approximated 1.6% amount of 3 was detected. We suspected it was the other regioisomer but we failed to isolate it from column chromatography. On the other hand, we did not detect other isomers in reaction of molecule 2. The moderate yields obtained of 3 and 4 from 1 and 2, respectively, were due to their slight decomposition during reactions.

23. The NMR data and optical rotation values of compounds 5 and 6 were reported to be dissolved in CDCl3 and MeOH, respectively (see reference 8). But, in general, these compounds and other related analogues are more soluble in D2O or CD3OD than in CDCl3. The NMR data and HRMS are satisfied for molecules 5 and 6.
