Procedure
The solution of N-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-4(R)-phenyl-2-pyrrolidinone (3) (250 mg, 1.01 mM) in methanol (30 ml) saturated by stream of gaseous ammonia for 5 hours. Reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by column chromatography with ethylacetate-hexane mixture 1:1 silicagel giving N-carbamoylmethyl-4(R)-phenyl-2-pyrrolidinone (4a) (187 mg, 85%). M.p. 107.5-108° C. [α]D20=+8.5° (c=3, MeOH). 1H NMR (CDCl3), δ: 2.61 (1H, d, d, 3-CH2); 2.87 (1H, d, d, 3-CH2); 3.54 (1H, t, 5-CH2); 3.66 (1H, quintet, 4-CH); 3.89 (1H, t, 5-CH2); 4.00 (2H, s, NCH2CO); 5.68 and 6.21 (1H and 1H, br.s and br.s, NH2); 7.20-7.40 (5H, m, C6H5).
