Abstract
Intramolecular alkylation of the arylhydrazides of γ-chlorobutyric acid in the presence of sodium ethoxide leads to the formation of N-arylamino-2-pyrrolidones. The direction of the reaction is not altered by the absence of a substituent on the aniline nitrogen atom. In the case of a p-nitrophenyl-hydrazide, O-alkylation is observed.
