15. The electrolyte can also be removed by exposure to water, although such a "green chemistry" washing procedure does not guarantee the protonation status of the final macrocyclic derivative.
16. The limited yield can be easily understood in light of the high reactivity and poor stability of the oxidized starting material. The dark residue retained on the silica gel support during the purification step is explicitly attributed to polymeric materials formed through competing intermolecular coupling pathways.
