Conclusions
-
1.
A study was made of the behavior of trisacetylaminomethane in trifluoroacetic acid.
-
2.
All of the trisacetylaminomethane is rapidly and completely hydrolyzed to a mixture of acetamide and formylacetamide when an equimolar amount of water is present in the acid. Under the conditions where the amount of water present is insufficient for complete hydrolysis, or if it is absent, the corresponding amount of trisacetylaminomethane remains in solution.
