Abstract
Abstract Preparation of compounds of the formula: <IMAGE> (I) wherein n is 1, 2 or 3, R1 and R2, which may be the same or different, are hydrogen or alkyl containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms and the asterisk indicates the center of asymmetry of the molecule, and compounds of the formula <IMAGE> (Ia) wherein R'' is a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, R3 is hydrogen or acyl containing 1 to 7 carbon atoms and the asterisk indicates the center of asymmetry of the molecule. The compounds produced by the present invention improve learning memory and display a protecting effect against the E.E.G. consequence of an overdose of barbiturates and against the reduced performance following brain damage (e.g. cerebral edema).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
222 words
A process for the preparation of pyrrolidine compounds of the formula: ##STR7## in which n is 1, 2 or 3 inclusive, R 1 and R 2 , which may be the same or different, are hydrogen or alkyl having 1 to 3 carbon atoms and the asterisk indicates the center of asymmetry of the molecule either as separated enantimoers or as mixture, comprising the steps of (1) reacting γ-amino-β-hydroxybutyric acid in the form of an enantiomer or of a mixture of enantiomers, under anhydrous conditions with a silylating agent, (2) cyclizing the product obtained by heating and (3) then reacting said cyclized product in the presence of an alkaline hydride with an aliphatic acid ester halide of the formula Hal(CH 2 ) n COOR, in which Hal is bromine, chlorine or iodine, R is alkyl containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms trichlorophenyl, nitrophenyl or trichloroethyl and n has the same meaning as above, to give a silyl compound of the formula: ##STR8## in which R' is methyl or ethyl and n, R and the asterisk have the same meanings as above, (4) then hydrolizing compound (II) to give the corresponding 4-hydroxy compound and (5) reacting said hydroxy compound with a compound of the formula R 1 .NH.R 2 , in which R 1 and R 2 have the same meanings as above.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
222 words
A process for the preparation of pyrrolidine compounds of the formula: ##STR7## in which n is 1, 2 or 3 inclusive, R 1 and R 2 , which may be the same or different, are hydrogen or alkyl having 1 to 3 carbon atoms and the asterisk indicates the center of asymmetry of the molecule either as separated enantimoers or as mixture, comprising the steps of (1) reacting γ-amino-β-hydroxybutyric acid in the form of an enantiomer or of a mixture of enantiomers, under anhydrous conditions with a silylating agent, (2) cyclizing the product obtained by heating and (3) then reacting said cyclized product in the presence of an alkaline hydride with an aliphatic acid ester halide of the formula Hal(CH 2 ) n COOR, in which Hal is bromine, chlorine or iodine, R is alkyl containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms trichlorophenyl, nitrophenyl or trichloroethyl and n has the same meaning as above, to give a silyl compound of the formula: ##STR8## in which R' is methyl or ethyl and n, R and the asterisk have the same meanings as above, (4) then hydrolizing compound (II) to give the corresponding 4-hydroxy compound and (5) reacting said hydroxy compound with a compound of the formula R 1 .NH.R 2 , in which R 1 and R 2 have the same meanings as above.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the silylating agent is hexamethyldisilazane, bis-(trimethylsilyl)-urea or bis-(trimethylsilyl)-acetamide.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the silylating agent is used in the presence of a small quantity of trimethylchlorosilane.
