Computational and Experimental Evidence for Templated Macrocyclization: The Role of a Hydrogen Bond Network in the Quantitative Dimerization of 24-Atom Macrocycles

In the absence of preorganization, macrocyclization reactions are often plagued by oligomeric and polymeric side products. Here, a network of hydrogen bonds was identified as the basis for quantitative yields of macrocycles derived from the dimerization of monomers. Oligomers and polymers were not o...
