The ammonolysis of three morpholine‐2,5‐dione derivatives was investigated and the mechanism ascertained by kinetic studies and theoretical calculations. The kinetics, followed by high‐performance liquid chromatography analysis, evidenced the presence of two intermediates, which were isolated and characterized. The ammonolysis occurs with a complex mechanism involving two consecutive reactions followed
