An improved synthesis of L-2- oxothiazolidine -4-carboxylic acid is described. The new procedure, which leads to excellent yields of product, does not require the use of phosgene. The new method is thus less hazardous than the original one, and is

A study was carried out on the solvolysis of substituted phenyl chloroformates in AOT/isooctane/water microemulsions. (AOT is the sodium salt of bis(2-ethyhexyl)sulfosuccinate.) The results obtained have been interpreted by taking into account the distribution of the chloroformates between the continuous
