Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1,1′[1,4-phenylene-bis-(methylene)]-bis-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (100 mg) was added copper(II) acetate (72 mg, 2.0 eq) in one portion. The solution became dark blue/purple in colour almost immediately. The mixture was stirred for one hour then triturated with ether to give a blue precipitate. The blue solid was filtered off and dried giving 1,1′-[1,4-phenylene-bis-(methylene)]-bis-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane copper diacetate hexahydrate (80 mg, 46%).
