43. 1H NMR spectroscopy. The disappearance of the resonances arising from the aldehyde protons in 2 or m-tolualdehyde (δ = 9.9-10.1) and the simultaneous appearance of resonances arising from the imine protons in 3 or 4 (δ = 8.4-8.5) were monitored. Concentration vs time profiles were constructed by deconvolution of these resonances.

45. We have demonstrated previously that recognition processes can be exploited in stabilizing otherwise unfavorable products and, hence, make unfavorable reaction processes proceed in a productive sense.
