Scalable Synthesis of 3-Ethyl-4-methyl-1,5-dihydro-2 H -pyrrol-2-one: An Important Building Block of the Antidiabetic Drug Glimepiride

A four-step, practical, and easily scalable synthesis of 3-ethyl-4-methyl-1,5-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-2-one, an important building block of the antidiabetic drug glimepiride, has been accomplished. Key features are the synthesis of 3-methyl-4-hydroxy-2-butenolide in water and triflic acid mediated N-benzyl lactam N-deprotection. The main advantages of this process are the scalable synthetic route and decreased number of reaction steps, which paves the way for the industrial-scale synthesis of 3-ethyl-4-methyl-1,5-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-2-one.

New Synthesis of Nitrogen Heterocycles through Amide-Directed Hydrocarbonylation of Alkenamides Catalyzed by Rhodium Complexes

Amide-directed hydrocarbonylation of 3-butenamide (1) catalyzed by rhodium complexes such as RhCl(PPh3)3, RhCl(CO)(PPh3)2, HRh(CO)(PPh3)3, and Rh4(CO)12 gives a mixture of 3,4-dihydro-2-pyridone (2), 4-methyl-3-pyrrolin-2-one (3), and a unique heterodimer

New synthesis of heterocycles by use of palladium catalyzed cycli zation of α-haloamide with internal double bond

α-Haloamide having internal double bond was allowed to react with a catalytic amount of Pd(PPh3)4 in the presence of base to produce a cyclized product in a fairly good yield possibly through the intermediate of -alkylmetal complex. By use of this method, five and six membered lactams, pyrrolizidine and quinolizidine derivatives were synthesized in fairly good yields.
