The title compound, C(30)H(24)N(6)O(2)·0.5CH(3)OH, a glycoluril derivative with two pyridine substituents on the convex face of the glycoluril system, is an important inter-mediate for the synthesis of more complex glycoluril derivatives. The compound crystallizes with two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit, one of which exhibits disorder of one benzene ring over two orientations wit...

The synthesis of an azo-benzene glycoluril supergelator is reported. The control over the gel/sol state can be accomplished by irradiation and heat, but also (in a unidirectional sense) by incorporation of the glycoluril into a more stable supramolecular assembly.

The title compound, C(16)H(22)N(4)O(8), is a glycoluril derivative with two propoxycarbonyl substituents on the convex face of the glycoluril system. The dihedral angle between the five-membered rings in the glycoluril unit is 72.70 (2)°. The oxadiazinane six-membered ring displays a normal chair conformation. One of the propyl groups is disordered over two positions with site occupancies of 0....

In the title compound, C(24)H(29)Br(2)N(5)O(6), a glycoluril derivative, the 1,4-dibromo-benzene ring is fused to the seven-membered ring of the glycoluril unit containing two N atoms. The two five-membered rings in the glycoluril unit are approximately planar and the dihedral angle between them is 69.8 (2)°. The six-membered ring containing three N atoms adopts a chair conformation. The crysta...

Glycoluril derivatives with a carboxylic acid side chain have been synthesized and shown to bind to both avidin and streptavidin. Introduction of a valerate side chain in glycoluril led to an increased binding to both proteins only when the valerate group was bound to a N atom and with the proper stereochemistry [(+)-enantiomer]. On the other hand, introduction of the valerate side chain either...

By using quantum mechanical DFT calculations, the most probable structures of the bambus[6]uril.ClO4- and bambus[6]uril.BF4- anionic complex species were derived. In these two complexes having C3 symmetry, each of the considered anions, included in the macrocyclic cavity, is bound by 12 weak hydrogen bonds between methine hydrogen atoms on the convex face of glycoluril units and the respective ...

A series of substituted glycoluril molecules exhibits a substantial twist of the fused five-membered rings and assembles exclusively chiral hydrogen-bonded ribbons in the solid-state.

In the title compound, C(10)H(12)N(8)O(4)·H(2)O, prepared from the reaction of glycoluril with paraformaldehyde, the organic molecule has mm symmetry. The asymmetric unit comprises one quarter of the mol-ecule and a half-mol-ecule of water. The dimer is formed by bridging two glycoluril mol-ecules with methyl-ene groups at the 1 and 6 positions. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked v...

A self-assembled capsule facilitates reactions of isocyanates with water. The capsule provides an amphiphilic environment with hydrophobic aromatic ends and hydrophilic glycoluril units at the center. Reaction takes place in the narrow, cylindrical space to form the N,N-dialkylurea, which then appears in a longer capsule.

In the title compound, C(18)H(20)N(4)O(6), the dihedral angle between the two fused five-membered rings in the glycoluril unit is 64.42 (2)°. The crystal structure features inter-molecular N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O interactions. An intramolecular C-H⋯O contact is also present.
