Abstract

Fully substituted 4-aminopyrrolones are easily accessed starting from imines, ketones, or α-bromophenyl acetonitriles. Imines are reacted with KCN/NH₄Cl, whereas ketones are transformed to the desired α-amino nitriles using a modified Strecker reaction. Reaction with a suitable acyl halide produces the corresponding amides. Ttreatment of these amides with ethanolic KOH gives 4-amino-1H-pyrrol-2(5H)-one derivatives in good yields.
