Molecular Clip Based on Diphenylglycoluril and Catechol: Promising Building Block of Supramolecular Structures

This article is dedicated to the memory of Prof. Nikolay G. Lukyanenko (1947–2011).

Abstract

A new diphenylglycoluril-based molecular clip containing catechol moieties was synthesized using protection–deprotection protocol. The structure and conformation of the new molecular clip and its methoxy precursor were further confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Key words

glycoluril - molecular clip - supramolecular chemistry - protecting groups - host–guest systems
