Reaction Steps

An ice water chilled solution of 5-methoxycarbonyl-1-[4-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-2-butynyl]-2-pyrrolidinone (5.52 g) in sieve dried methanol (175 ml) was treated with anhydrous ammonia for fifteen minutes and was allowed to stand at ambient temperature overnight. The solution was concentrated to a brown solid (3.33 g). The solid was recrystallized from toluene (100 ml) to give 2.03 g of slightly brown crystals, mp 146°-147.5° C.
