Spontaneous Conversion of 3-Alkyl-substituted 3-Hydroperoxypyrrolidine-2,4-diones into 5-Alkyl-5-hydroxyoxazolidin-4-ones
3-Hydroperoxypyrrolidine-2,4-diones substituted with an alkyl group at the 3-position were spontaneously transformed into 5-hydroxyoxazolidin-4-one derivatives at room temperature in air accompanied by the evolution of carbon monoxide.
