Reaction Steps

1.56 g of 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-carboxy-2-pyrrolidinone was mixed with 7 ml of methanol. Thereto were added 0.26 g of 75% paraformaldehyde and 0.75 g of 4-methoxypiperidine. The mixture was refluxed for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated to dryness. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography using chloroform (a solvent) to obtain 0.85 g of 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methylene-2-pyrrolidinone.
