Synthesis of 3-Ethyl-4-methyl-1,5-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-2-one by Novel Palladium(II)-Catalyzed Cyclization and Ring-Closing Metathesis

Abstract

Synthesis of 3-ethyl-4-methyl-1,5-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-2-one is described starting from commercially available allylamine and 4-methoxybenzylamine employing palladium-catalyzed cyclization or ring-closing metathesis as the key steps.

Key words

pyrrolinone - glimepiride - antidiabetic - metabolite - lac­tams - ring-closing metathesis - cyclization
