69. The imines were prepared and purified by crystallization except the inline 21c, which was used in crude form. See Supporting Information for details. (17) In each case, just enough methylene chloride was added to effect complete dissolution of the imine and the concentration was adjusted accordingly. (18) Zhang, Y.; Wulff. W.
