When a hydrogen-oxygen flame was blown against an aqueous solution of urea and maleic acid, N-carbamoylaspartic acid was generated. This compound seemed to be formed by the addition of an amidinoxyl radical to a C-C double bond of the acid, followed by a thermal rearrangement of an amidinoxy to a ureido group.

The rate profiles for the alkaline hydrolysis of some dihydrouracil and dihydro-orotic acid derivetives have been measured in order to assess the effect of allylic strain on the ring opening of 1,6-disubstituted dihydrouracils.The introduction of a 1-nitrogen-substituent in the 6-substituted compounds brings about a substantial decrease (40-500 times) in the observed rate constant which is second order in hydroxide ion (k1k3/k-1).The rate decreases of the addition step, k1, are moderate and in the range expected from the observed shifts in conformational equilibra towards the axial conformation which gives rise to a hindered transition state.The major contribution to the rate decreases from the ring-opening step, k3/k-1, and have been attributed to strains of the type associated with gem-dimethyl effect upon ring closure.
