46. 1H NMR signals, except for those of the end groups, broadened under the hydrolytic conditions, thus suggesting that the hydrolysis that generates 9e and 2e might proceed to some extent; however, the expected CHO signals were not clearly discernible and the propargyl methylene protons on the macrocycle remained nonequivalent to each other. Thus, the equilibration among 1e, 9e, and 2e seems to be heavily in favor of 1e under the hydrolytic conditions, and as a result the preorganization of the macrocycle favors imine formation.
