Abstract

The synthesis and decomposition of N-(n-butyl)-N', N'-dimethyl-N-nitrosourea (2a), N-(n- butyl)-N', N'-dimethyl-N-nitrourea (3a), N', N'-dimethyl-N-(1-norborny1)-N-nitrosourea (2b), and N',"-dimethyl-N-(1-norborny1)-N-nitrourea (3b) are described. Several of the compounds show complex NMR spectra ascribable to rotational isomerism. Decomposition of 2a and 3a gave n-butyl N, N-dimethylcarbamate and tetramethylurea, while ...
