%X N-Acyl derivatives of the &amp;carboxylic acids, aspartic and glutamic acids, yield the corresponding anhydrides when heated with acetic anhydride in the presence or absence of ammonium thiocyanate. In general these anhydrides form isomeric pairs of amides and anilides, and only one of each pair can be converted into the corresponding 2-thiohydantoin. The anhydrides from N-phenylacetyl- and N-p-nitro-benzoylglutamic acids, and N-acetylaspartic acid have been regarded hitherto as oxazolones.
