Abstract

Abstract The preorganization of bifunctional 2-ureido-4-pyrimidinones mediated by either 1, 3-substituted adamantane or meta-substituted phenylene ring linkers leads to the preferred formation of stable pentameric (1) 5 and hexameric (2) 6 assemblies, respectively. Despite the high binding constant of the 2-ureido-4-pyrimidinone dimers and the highly preorganized structure of the monomer, the predominant formation of cycles (1) 5 and (2) ...
