Imines 3 , 5 and 7 generated from 4‐methoxypyridine‐2,6‐dicarbaldehyde ( 1 ) and several amines 2 , 4 and 6 show a remarkable stability in water. The 18‐membered macrocyclic diimine 5 is stable and could be synthesized in good yield by using 2 equiv. of calcium ions as template in pure water, and even the non‐macrocyclic diimine 3 survives in water/methanol (50:50) without any template effect. In a mixture of pyridinedicarbaldehyde 1 and two glycol‐derived diamines 4 and 6 , a calcium template ion selects the 18‐membered macrocycle 5 over the 20‐membered one ( 7 ).
