Dihydro-1H-pyrrolizine-3,5-(2H,6H)-dione is produced in higher overall yield in a process which comprises catalytically hydrogenating a lower alkyl ester of 4-(hydroxyimino)heptanedioic acid in the presence of a tri-(lower alkyl)amine, followed by cyclization of the product thus produced in the presence of a cyclizing agent such as acetic anhydride. |
