The paper reports on the diversity of products obtained from a 3-acyloxyamino-1,5 diketone in reaction with bases, the distribution of products being correlated with the nature of the base and the solvent. Like other derivatives of β-hydroxyamino ketones, this compound reacts to form a 2-acylaziridine. Unusually, however, the aziridine undergoes ring-opening with carbon-carbon bond breaking to yield a β-ketoenaminone as isolable product. A minor path occurring with carbon-nitrogen bond breaking gives an α-acylpyrrole. In a further reaction the ketoenaminone forms a dimer which is characterized by X-ray crystallography.
