Participants

Reaction Steps

Pyrrolidine (25 ml) is slowly added dropwise to a stirred suspension of 28.63 g of N-methoxycarbonyl-3-oxo-tetrahydropyrrole [prepared according to J Med Chem 5, 752 (1962)] and 29.5 g of anhydrous potassium carbonate in 200 ml ether and 100 ml toluene at 0°-5° under a nitrogen atmosphere. After 3 hours the suspension is filtered and the filtrate evaporated under reduced pressure to yield 3-pyrrolidino-N-methoxycarbonyl-2,5-dihydropyrrole as an oil. NMR (CDCl3): 4.12 (s), 4.01 (m), 3.63 (s), 3.00 (m), and 1.85 (m).
