The three-step synthesis of Geodken's macrocycle, H[subscript 2]C[subscript 22]H[subscript 22]N[subscript 4], (5,14-dihydro-6,8,15,17-tetramethyldibenzo[b,i]-[1,4,8,11] tetraazacyclotetradecahexane), in an overall yield of 65% is described. By utilizing the synthesis of the macrocycle's dichloride salt, H[subscript 2]C[subscript 22]H[subscript 22]N[subscript 4][middle dot]2HCl, this new synthetic procedure is an improvement over previously reported preparations. The procedure results in higher overall yield and one less step than that previously reported. This modification also demonstrates the effect of solvent on the nature of the product isolated from a reaction. (Contains 1 note and 1 figure/scheme.)
