The highest conversion of DMP into DMBQ was obtained when concentrated acidic solutions of DMP and NaNO2 (molar ratio 1:1.9) reacted at pH 3.0-4.0 (50-60% after 1 hour, depending on the pH conditions). When DMP hydrochloride and NaNO2 (molar ratio 1:0.95) were allowed to react at pH 3.5 in a more diluted solution, to mimic gastric conditions, the conversion of DMP into DMBQ after 20 min was about 3%.
