Symmetrical Molecular Structure: Fundamental Physical and Chemical Properties

As a structurally regular glycoluril derivative and a commonly used fine chemical intermediate in the chemical industry, Tetramethoxymethyl glycoluril has a CAS number of 17464-88-9, a molecular formula of C₁₂H₂₂N₄O₆, and a molecular weight of 318.33. It features a stable cyclic glycoluril core structure, and the hydroxymethyl groups at four active sites are completely substituted by methoxy groups, forming a highly symmetrical molecular configuration, which is the core reason for its excellent stability. At room temperature, it appears as white crystalline powder with no peculiar odor and stable physical and chemical properties. In terms of solubility, it has strong compatibility, soluble in polar solvents such as water, methanol and ethanol, and slightly soluble in non-polar organic solvents, suitable for most industrial formula systems. In addition, it possesses excellent thermal stability without decomposition or deterioration at room temperature, and structural cleavage only occurs under harsh conditions of high temperature and strong acidity. Its mild physical and chemical properties make it a highly versatile industrial chemical raw material.
