Reaction of 1-Phenylpyrrolidin-2-ones with the Vilsmeier Reagent. Novel Rearrangement of δ2-Pyrrolines Bearing a β-Chlorovinylaldehyde Fragment.-Vilsmeier-Haack formylation of arylpyrrolidinone (I) followed by alkaline work-up yields a δ2-pyrroline-3-carbaldehyde (III), which rearranges quantitatively in organic solvents already at room temp. into methylenepyrrolidinone (IV). The novel rearrangement is of obvious generality for such types of pyrrolines having various substituents in the β-position to the vinylaldehyde fragment. -(FROLOV, S. I.; NEGREBETSKII, V.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
