Procedure

5.0 g of (R)-1-(p-methoxybenzoyl)-2-oxo-3-pyrrolidinyl-chloroacetate are treated in pyridine with thiourea and ethanol according to the procedure described in paragraph (c) of Example 5; the reaction time amounting to 45 minutes. The residue obtained after working-up the ethyl acetate extracts is stirred in ether, the insoluble constituents being filtered off and recrystallised from diisopropyl ether. There is obtained (R)-1-(p-methoxybenzoyl)-3-hydroxy-2-pyrrolidinone of melting point 123°-124° C.; [α]D20 =+214°; [α]54620 =+264°; [α]36520 =+1212° (c=1.0 in chloroform).
