Abstract

3-Aminopyrrolidin-2-ones containing a fused norbornane or spirocyclopropane fragment react with benzaldehyde to give azomethines, which can be transformed into N-substituted 3-aminopyrrolidin-2-ones by reduction with sodium borohydride. Diazotization of amino-pyrrolidinones with NaNO2 in acetic acid results in the elimination of molecular nitrogen and in the formation of acetoxy or unsaturated derivatives (through stabilization of intermediate carbocations). 6-Methylidene4-azaspiro[2.4]heptan-5-one obtained by diazotization of 6-amino-6-methyl-4-azaspiro[2.4]heptan-5-one easily reacts with diazomethane, diazocyclo-propane, and benzonitrile oxide to yield heterocyclic spiranes by means of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition.
