Reaction Steps

A example of this step is a solution of cis-hexahydro-2-oxo-cyclopenta[b]pyrrole-1(2H)-acetic acid ethyl ester (3.25 g, 0.0154 mole) in methanol (200 ml) is saturated with anhydrous ammonia and stirred at ambient temperature 24 hours. The solution is concentrated at reduced pressure to yield a solid. Recrystallization from acetonitrile yields pure cis-hexahydro-2-oxo-cyclopenta[b]pyrrole-1(2H)acetamide with a mp 142.5°-143.5° C. ##STR4##
