2-Pyrrolidone → HCID 14441091, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 65.1 g (765 mmol) of 2-oxopyrrolidine and 67.3 g (638 mmol) of chloroethyl isocyanate was heated with stirring at 95°-105° C. overnight. After cooling, the reaction solution was refined by silica gel chromatography. The resulting compound obtained from the eluate with toluene-ethyl acetate (20/1-10/1 v/v) was recrystallized from CH2Cl2 -ether-n-hexane, whereby 107.7 g of the objective compound 1-(2-chloroethylcarbamoyl)-2-oxopyrrolidine (III-1) melting at 66.5°-67.5° C. was obtained as crystals.
