Hi Everyone,

whether N-Nitroso Dicyclomine possible to form?

Your views are very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Ankit

Dicyclomine is a tertiary amine, so a theoretical N-Nitroso Dicyclomine cannot exist. Hovever, as I recently wrote in another topic:

Theoretical estimation of the conversion of a tertiary amine to nitrosamine

This kind of API may be easily oxidezed, giving acetaldehyde and the de-ethylated API. Therefore, a N-nitroso de-ethyl Dicyclomine is possible.
