Abstract
An infrared method is reported for determination of intact trimethadione (3,5,5- trimethyl-2,4-oxazolidinedione) in presence of products of hydrolysis. Kinetics have been determined for hydroxide ion-catalyzed hydrolysis of trimethadione and a mechanism is proposed in which there exists a rapid equilibrium between a cyclic and an acyclic structure. The rate of hydrolysis of trimethadione at pH 10 and 30° is 105 to 106 times that for acyclic compounds of similar structure.
