Ling, Xiaoxi;Masson, Eric published 《Cucurbituril Slippage: Cations as Supramolecular Lubricants》 in 2012. The article was appeared in 《Organic Letters》. They have made some progress in their research.COA of Formula: C8H18O2 The article mentions the following:
The dethreading rate of a polyaminated axle flanked by two benzo-15-crown-5 stoppers from the cavity of Cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) was enhanced by up to 500 times in the presence of aqueous metallic and organic cations. Cations likely stabilize the highest energy transition state of the dethreading process by interacting with both crown ether and CB[7] units.2,5-Dimethyl-2,5-hexanediol (cas: 110-03-2) were involved in the experimental procedure.
2,5-Dimethyl-2,5-hexanediol(cas:110-03-2) is used as an intermediate in the preparation of 2.5-Dimethyl-2.5-bis(tertbutyl-peroxy)hexane. It is also used in the synthesis of six- and seven-membered heterocyclic boron compounds.COA of Formula: C8H18O2
