Abstract

A heterocycle-heterocycle interconversion strategy provides 4,5-disubstituted 3-hydroxy-2-pyrrolidinones in good yields. The reported reductive rearrangement approach especially allows access to unsubstituted 3-hydroxy-2-pyrrolidinone at the nitrogen position for further functionalization.
