Description
Summary:N‐α‐Hydroxyalkylamides 6a,b, readily available from L‐tartrate, with trichloroacetonitrile furnish O‐(2‐oxopyrrolidin‐5‐yl)trichloroacetimidates 3a,b. α‐Amido‐alkylation studies of 3a,b with allyl‐trimethylsilane and electron‐rich benzene derivatives as C‐nucleophiles afforded 5‐allyl‐ and 5‐aryl‐2‐pyrrolidinones 2a,b, 7a,b, and 8−10. The target compound (+)‐1 and its epimer 15 were readily obtained from 1,5‐diallyl‐2‐pyrrolidinones 2b and 7b, respectively, via ring‐closing metathesis, amide group reduction, and CC‐double bond hydrogenation.
