title: Oxidative N-dealkylation: a mannich intermediate in the formation of a new metabolite of lidocaine in man.
abstract: Evidence is presented for a new metabolite of lidocaine. Its structure, N(1)-ethyl-2-methyl-N(3)-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-4-imidazolidinone, suggests reactive electrophilic intermediates for the oxidative removal of N-alkyl groups in general.
