Most secondary amines have the potential to undergo nitrosation in presence of nitrite under certain conditions, particularly at low pH, generate N-nitrosamines. Tertiary are generally considered be less prone nitrosamine formation as they require an additional dealkylation step. A review published literature combined with recently generated experimental data from experiments carried out on several trialkyl further informs extent that tertiary can form N-nitrosamines by reaction trace levels...

Novel 5-(1'-hydroxy)-γ-butyrolactone and γ-butyrolactam subunits were synthesized by direct vinylogous aldol addition of α,β-dichloro γ-butyrolactones γ-butyrolactams with aldehydes under basic conditions. Different bases solvents screened in the context generating γ-butyrolactones. Diastereoselectivity was observed γ-butenolides showed opposite diastereoselectivity same reaction condition.
