Abstract
The 5‐(arylnitromethylene)‐3‐pyrrolin‐2‐ones 1‐5, the 5‐nitrobilin‐1,19‐diones 7,8, and the 5‐nitropyrromethenone 6 are shown to decompose in acidic media to yield maleimides according to fragmentation reactions of nitronic acids. This fragmentation reaction elucidates the nature of the Gmelin reaction and the formation of the “Nitritkörper” (methylvinylmaleimide) by nitrous acid treatment of bilirubin.
