The principal pathway in the photochemical (λ > 210 nm) transformation of 5-diazo-2,2-dimethyl-4,6-dioxo-1,3-dioxane in an aqueous medium (or in methanol) is splitting out of nitrogen and the Wolff rearrangement to give the stable 2,2-dimethyl-5-oxo-1,3-dioxolane-4-carboxylic acid (or its methyl ester), which undergoes decarboxylation only at temperature above 150 deg C, whereas it undergoes hydrolysis to a hydroxymalonic acid in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid.
