title: Determination of the extent of acid hydrolysis of N-methylpyrrolidone.
abstract: The extent of the hydrolysis of N-methylpyrrolidone in dilute hydrochloric acid can readily be determined by titrating an aliquot of the reaction mixture in absolute ethanol with tetrabutylammonium hydroxide. A separate equivalence point is observed in the titration curve for each of the three types of ionisable hydrogens involved.
