Reaction Steps

Propiohydroxamic acid (4.5 grams), ethyl isocyanate (8.0 grams), and a few drops of triethylamine were added to 100 ml of methylene chloride and allowed to stand at room temperature for about 12 hours. The solvent was then removed under vacuum leaving a residue which was recrystallized from a solution of methylene chloride and hexane leaving the desired, N-((ethylamino)carbonyl)-N-(((ethylamino)carbonyl)oxy)propionamide as white crystals, m.p. 104°-106° C.
