56. 2] (model system for a coordination polymer) out of 2 monomers is energetically favored over the monomer, but can be excluded because of the solubility of tBuLi and triazacyclohexane in n-pentane. However, the regioselectivities via such hypothetic transition states show also a favoritism of the deprotonation of the methylene bridge with barriers comparable to the monomer-based transition states (see Supporting Information).
