The products were characterized by spectroscopic and spectrometric analyses (Figures S3–S11 in Supporting Information File 1). 1H, and 13C NMR spectra clearly indicated the formation of [2 + 2] monoadducts. 7Li NMR spectra showed a sharp singlet

Chemical shifts (δ) were reported in parts per million (ppm) relative to residual proton of solvent for 1H (5.32 ppm, CDHCl2), LiCl in D2O for 7Li (0 ppm

• , external standard), and carbon of the solvent for 13C (53.84 ppm, CD2Cl2). High-resolution matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (HR-MALDI) mass spectra were obtained on a Bruker solariX 12T mass spectrometer with dithranol as a matrix. UV–vis absorption spectra were measured on a JASCO V-670 and a

• geometry of the remaining double bond at C-18 was established to be trans by comparing the 13C NMR chemical shifts at C-16 and C-21 between 1 and polycavernoside D (5) (Table S1 in Supporting Information File 1) [5]. In addition, a 4J long-range coupling between δH 1.95 (H-26) and δH 2.18 (H-24) and three

IR spectra were recorded on a Bruker ALPHA instrument. All NMR data were recorded on a JEOL ECX-400/ECS-400 spectrometer for 1H (400 MHz) and 13C

• (100 MHz). 1H NMR chemical shifts (referenced to the residual solvent signal of CHD2OD: δ 3.31, CHCl3: δ 7.26) were assigned using a combination of data from COSY and HMQC experiments. Similarly, 13C NMR chemical shifts (referenced to the solvent signal CD3OD: δ 49.0, CDCl3: δ 77.16) were assigned
