1 Source of material

Tetraacetylglycoluril and 5 % hydrochloric acid were added to the reactor. The temperature of the reactor was 293 K. Turn on the blender quickly 400 r/min. The raw material undergoes a hydrolysis reaction in the reactor. After the reaction, the reaction solution is placed naturally. The water is evaporated to obtain colorless lumpy crystals.

2 Experimental details

Hydrogen atoms were placed in their geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms. All the non-hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically.

3 Comment

Glycoluril compounds are a hot topic in the field of energetic materials [5], [6], [7], [8]. The title compound was obtained through hydrolysis reaction of tetraacetylglycoluril and 5 % hydrochloric acid. The title compound is an organic intermediate with research value.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound is one 1,3-diacetyltetrahydroimidazo[4,5-d]imidazole-2,5(1H,3H)-dione. The bond lengths and angles are in the expected ranges. The parent compound of the title compound consists of two five membered rings, each of which is an imidazole [9]. The five atoms of C5, C4, N2, C1 and N1 are a plane, while the five atoms of C6, C4, N4, C6 and N3 are a plane. The dihedral angle of two planes is 60.803°. Two acetyl groups are attached to the same five membered ring. The dihedral angle formed by C8, C7, O1 and the pentagonal ring is 1.55°, while the dihedral angle formed by C3, C2, O3 and the pentagonal ring is 7.27°.

Compared to the raw material tetraacetylglycoluril [10], the dihedral angle of the two pentagonal rings of the title compound changed from 67.58° to 60.80°. During the hydrolysis process, two acetyl groups are removed, and the steric hindrance within the molecule decreases, resulting in a smaller dihedral angle between the two planes of the title compound.
