Synthesis of β-Phenyl-α,β-dioxo-propionanilide. Peptide-Like Polyoxo Compounds

In the first communication of this series it was shown that 2,3,4-triketotetrahydropyridine exercises a diaibetogenic activity on white rats, the same as alloxane. It, was, further, suggested, fill.at the grouping -COCOCONH- may be responsible for this activity of 2,3,4-triketo-tetrahydropyridine, as for that of alloxane
