The carbamoylation of some lactams derivatived from pyroglutamic acid has been studied; better yields were obtained starting from the unsubstitued lactam (toluene, 80°) rather than starting with the N-silyllactam (room temperature), although these latter reaction conditions could be interesting for heat sensitive compounds. Methyl and phenyl isothiocyanate react only with the sodium salt of methyl pyroglutumate, giving 1,5-diaddition products.
Synthesis, decarboxylation, and nitrosation of 1-acyl-2-pyrrolidone-3-carboxylic acids: A convenient novel entry to 2,3-dioxopyrrolidine derivatives

Esters 1 of 1-acyl-2-pyrrolidone-3-carboxylic acids 2 were hydrolized to 2 with acetic acid/HCl at 60-70°C. Reaction of 1a with formic acid/HCl at 60-75°C led to (not isolated) 2a which began to decarboxylate to 3a during the conversion of 1a to 2a even a
