The hydrolysis of 1,2-dimethyl-4-(1,1,2-trimethyl-2-nitropropyl)imidazole which leads to two tertiary alcohols formed respectively by CNO2 and CC bondfission, is the first example of hydrolysis of a tertiary nitroalkane. It might be explained by an intramolecular nucleophilic catalysis favored by a double gem-dimethyl effect and a possible anchimeric assistance by imidazole group.
