摘要
The mechanism of base-catalyzed racemization of α-acetamidonitriles bearing no enolizable α hydrogen has been studied and found to proceed via elimination and readdition of the elements of HCN; the amide nitrogen must bear a hydrogen atom. The rate-determining step is not deprotonation but expulsion of cyanide from the amide anion. © 1968, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.
