Abstract

The mechanism corresponding to the base-induced decomposition of N-nitroso-N-methylurea is discussed. Evidence is presented for the decomposition which is consistent with initial abstraction of a urea proton, but not with a mechanism involving initial nucleophilic addition to the nitroso or carbonyl groups.
