Base-catalyzed hydrolysis of the potent liver carcinogen 1-nitroso-5,6-dihydrouracil [(NDHU) CAS: 16813-36-8] afforded 3-hydroxypropionic acid and acrylic acid in 72 and 6% yield, respectively. The base-catalyzed methanolysis of NDHU gave quantitative yields of 3-methoxypropionic acid and methyl carbamate. These results indicate
