Reaction Steps

0.5 g 2,2-dimethyl-4-imidazolidinone ((5); R4 =R5 =CH3) (4.38 mmoles) are heated at 115° C. (external temperature) for 12 h with stirring by a magnetic stirrer, with 0.57 g ethyl 3,4-epoxybutanoate ((4); X=C2H5) (4.38 mmoles). The mixture is cooled, taken up with methanol and filtered. Oxiracetam is obtained, m.p. 167°-70° C.
