52. It was impossible to identify exactly which imine was reduced because of disorder. The macrocycle appears to pack equally well with the imine or amine in any position, as there is a crystallographic mirror plane through the middle of the macrocycle (i.e., it appears more symmetrical as a result of disorder).
