Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1,5-diacetylpyrrolidin-2-one (3.5 g), 5 percent platinum on alumina (1.0 g) and acetic acid (30 ml) is stirred in a 200-ml Parr® pressure vessel under a hydrogen atmosphere (570 psi) at 90° C. for 17.5 hours. Analysis of the reaction mixture after the removal of catalyst and solvent by nuclear magnetic resonance shows that it is a 1:1 mixture of the reactant and the desired product.
