The product of the condensation reaction between glycoluril and formaldehyde was first
reported in a thesis by Eberhard Meyer in 1904 (1) and then published by Behrend and co …

In the wide area of supramolecular chemistry, cucurbit [n] urils (CBn) present themselves as
a young family of molecular containers, able to form stable complexes with various guests …

Click chemistry describes a family of modular, efficient, versatile and reliable reactions which
have acquired a pivotal role as one of the most useful synthetic tools with a potentially broad …

Removing the nitrogen atom from secondary amines while simultaneously linking the
remaining fragments is a powerful form of late-stage skeletal editing. Here, we report its use …

We report that the p-xylylenediammonium ion (11) acts as a template in the cucurbit [n] uril
forming reaction that biases the reaction toward the production of methylene bridged …

Cucurbituril (CB) is a unique macrocycle with a rigid symmetrical structure, which is
composed of two identical hydrophilic portals decorated with partially negatively charged …
