Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

In 20 ml of tetrahydrofuran was dissolved 2.78 g of N-(4'-chlorobenzenesulfonyl)-4-aminobutyric acid (0.01 mole). To the stirred solution on an ice bath was added 2.06 g of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (0.01 mole), and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 21 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered, and the solid material was washed with anhydrous tetrahydrofuran. The filtrate and the washings were combined, and tetrahydrofuran was removed under reduced pressure. The residue thus obtained was recrystallized from a mixed solvent of chloroform-ether to give 2.37 g of N-(4'-chlorobenzenesulfonyl)-2-pyrrolidone as crystals. Physical properties were identical with those in Synthetic Example 3.
