(1E)-2-(Diacetylamino)-1-methylprop-1-enyl acetate.
The analysis of the title compound, C10H15NO4, firmly establishes the configuration of the double bond as E, a stereochemistry that had been assigned tentatively by other methods. The diacetylamine and acetate substituents are approximately coplanar to one another, but approximately perpendicular to the planar ethene core. H atoms of the ethene methyl substituents are found within the ethene plane, indicating that hyperconjugation does not play an important role in stabilizing the double bond.
