The hydroxide ion catalyzed hydrolysis of indole‐1‐carboxamide and indole‐1‐( N,N ‐dimethyl)carboxamide has been studied in water at 60.0° and [OH − ] concentration between 0.3‐‐2.4 N . The rate constants of formation of the tetrahedral intermediate are strongly increased by N ‐substitution with a heteroaromatic ring in comparison with simple amides. Carbamazepine, (5 H ‐dibenz[ b,f ]azepine)‐5‐carboxamide, a potent anticonvulsant drug, is particularly stable under these conditions.
