Abstract Alkaline hydrolysis of 3-tert-butyl-7, 7-bis (hydroxymethyl)-3, 4-dihydro-2H-thiazolo [3, 2-a][1, 3, 5]-triazin-6 (7H)-one can occur in three directions: with cleavage of the tetrahydrotriazine ring, with cleavage of the thiazolidine ring, and also with opening of both rings. Depending on the process conditions, either the hydrolysis product corresponding to the first direction or the hydrolytic decomposition products corresponding to the second ...
