10. An oxidative ring cleavage of 2-methyl-1-(5-pyrimidyl)-propan-1-ol provides a chiral carboxylic acid (not imide nor amide) under the same reaction conditions. It indicates that imide 3 and amide 4 are secondary and tertiary products and acetyl amide moiety probably derived from the component of 1- and 2-position in pyrimidine ring.
