7. In fact, the anti-HIV activity of bis-cyclams was serendipitously discovered due to the presence of a 1.5-3% impurity of d,l-2,2′-bicyclam in a commercially available sample of cyclam prepared by a nickel-template synthesis.

Although the p-toluenesulfonamido group is considered "unstable" with respect to alkyllithium and Grignard reagents, we have found that a large excess of the reagent and elevated temperatures are required for deprotection: See Greene, T.
