Abstract

Directly acting mutagens formed from N-nitroso-N-(formylmethyl) alkylamines (3) were isolated and identified as N-nitroso-N-alkyl-1-hydroxyimino-2-oxoethylamines (4). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of nuclear magnetic resonance spectra and confirmed by derivatization to the crystalline 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazones (5). Compounds 4 (alkyl= ethyl and butyl) were strongly mutagenic to Salmonella typhimurium TA 1535 and ...
