Cu2+-promoted Hydrolysis of cyanomethyl-substituted tetra-azamacrocycles

Abstract
The fast Cu2+-promoted hydrolysis of the two macrocyclic nitriles (3) and (4) is due to the proximity of the reactants allowing an intramolecular nucleophilic attack of the co-ordinated OH on the cyano-group to take place.
