Abstract

Patience is a virtue in chemistry too! This is demonstrated once again by the synthesis of the title compound 1 from dimethylglycoluril and formaldehyde in boiling nitric acid, and the structural investigation of this new molecular receptor. The crystallization of 1 from dilute nitric acid took twelve months! (Figure Presented.)
