“…The reaction mixture is refluxed for 24 h, after cooling it down to ambient temperature the solvent is filtered, the precipitate is washed with CH 2 Cl 2 (5 ml), combined organic fractions are evaporated in vacuo, and the residue is chromatographed on silica gel using a sequence of eluents: CH 2 Cl 2 , CH 2 Cl 2 /MeOH (200:1 -3:1). 7,8,15,16,18,19,22,23,29,13:28, [1,2-q:2',1'-o] [1,4,7,14,19,26] Macrocycles Containing Endocyclic Chiral BINAM Moieties from 22 to 27 %, thus only the diamine with the shortest chain provided two times higher yield, probably due to a better adjustment of its two amino groups to two bromine atoms in the compound 4.…”
