Abstract

The action of boiling acetic anhydride on β-ureidesters, β-N-carbonyl esters and β-amino- esters was studied. It was shown that no cyclization of β-ureidoesters occurred and that N, N- diacetyl and N-acetyl-β-aminoesters were the reaction products in all three cases. A satisfactory separation of these compounds by chromatography was achieved and their physical properties determined. The mechanism of the reactions is discussed briefly.
