Process for preparing 2-oxopyrrolidinylacetamide derivatives.

摘要

A process for preparing a 2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)acetamide derivative useful as a cerebral function improving agent is disclosed, comprising reacting a halogenoacetamide derivative with substituted or unsubstituted 2-pyrrolidinone, the halogenoacetamide derivative being prepared by reacting an amine and a halogenoacetyl chloride. High yields of the intermediate compound as well as the final product are attained at low cost.
