“…1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.52 (d, J = 8.1 Hz, 2H), 7.43 (d, J = 8.1 Hz, 2H), 6.69 (d, J = 4.1 Hz, 2H), 6.27 (d, J = 4.1 Hz, 2H), 4.46 (s, 2H), 2.65 (s, 6H). Step 3: Synthesis of 1,4,8,11-Tetra(prop-2-yn-1-yl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane based on (Counsell et al, 2016). To a solution of 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (500 mg, 2.49 mmol) in 5 mL of acetonitrile 5 mL of 1M NaOH was added followed by 1.1 mL 80% propargyl bromide solution (in toluene, 10.2 mmol).…”
