Synthesis of 3-pyrroline-2-ones from amino acids and an aryl amine
The conversion of the amino group of amino dicarboxylicacid esters and an aryl amine into N-substituted pyrrolinone derivatives with dimethoxydihydrofurane is described. The conversion also occurs with serine methylester but it decomposes very quickly.
