Abstract

A number of trans-3-acetyl-4-alkylpyrrolidin-2-ones 8a-d and 11a,b were prepared and reduction of the keto group, carried out with KBH₄ in CH₃OH, led mainly to 3-hydroxyethylpyrrolidin-2-ones 13a-d and 19a,b with high stereoselection. Configuration of the newly formed stereogenic centre on the hydroxyethyl chain was assigned by ¹H NMR data supported by molecular mechanic calculations and eventually confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis of p-iodobenzoate derivative 15.
