  1. In all cases, the standard condition shown in Fig. 3b, with N = 7, is applied.
  2. aYields are calibrated with gas chromatography (GC).
  3. bFor the cases where GC analysis proves to be difficult (e.g., due to molecular weight), proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR) is used instead.
