Abstract

Abstract: Results of kinetic,'H NMR, and HPLC studies show that N-(pivaloyloxy)-4- methoxyacetanilide (la), a model for suspected carcinogenic metabolites of phenacetin (lo), decomposes predominately into N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (3) in aqueous solution. The only other product isolated from the decomposition of la is 4-methoxyacetanilide (7), which is produced in moderate yield at pH> 6.0. The available evidence indicates that ...
