title: Synthesis of glycoluril catalyzed by potassium hydroxide under ultrasound irradiation.
abstract: Synthesis of the glycolurils catalyzed by potassium hydroxide was carried out in 17-75% yield at 40 degrees C in EtOH under ultrasound irradiation. Compared to the method using stirring, the main advantage of the present procedure is milder conditions and shorter reaction time.
