Abstract
The acid-catalyzed synthesis of cucurbit[n]urils from formaldehyde and glycoluril is poorly understood. In this paper, we examine a wide range of reaction conditions that include the effects of acid type, acid concentration, reactant concentrations, and temperature to both probe the mechanism and optimize the yields of isolated cucurbit[n]urils, where n = 5−10. A mechanism for the formation of these cucurbit[n]urils is presented. Individual cucurbit[n]urils were unambiguously identified in reaction mixtures using ESMS and 13C NMR.

The Inheritance Angle: A Determinant for the Number of Members in the Substituted Cucurbit[n]uril Family

TL;DR: Two new glycoluril diethers have been prepared, bearing strainedcyclobutene and cyclobutane rings at the fused junction of the two imidazolidinone rings, enabling the synthesis of cyclobutanocucurbit[5-8]uril, the largest member being the most significant achievement.
