Abstract
The addition of water or alcohol to 3-halopyruvamides having a special interest in enzymology, permitted us to isolate stable alpha-diols an d hemiketals. until then detected only by spectroscopic means. The rea ction is not diastereoselective. but selective precipitation of only o ne diastereoisomer shifts the equilibrium between the two isomers. Iso lated compounds were Fully characterised and results discussed. (C) 19 97 Elsevier Science Ltd.
