We have used both processes for the preparation of diethyl 4-oxo-1, 3-pyrrolidinedicarboxylate. The physical constants of the products from the two different methods are essentially the same. The Kuhn and Osswald method was extended for the synthesis of twelve alkyl ethyl 4-oxo-l, 3-pyrrolidinedicarboxylates. Their physical properties are listed in Table I. In contrast to the concentrated hydrochloric acid used by Kuhn and Osswald we found that very dilute (0.4%) hydrochloric acid was all that wras necessary to catalyze the hydrolysis and decarboxylation of these cyclic ß-keto esters. The physical properties of the alkyl 3-oxo-lpyrrolidinecar boxy lates are given in Table II.These alkyl 3-oxo-l-pyrrolidinecarboxylates are stable oils or low melting solids. Their reaction with Grignard reagents goes smoothly and usually gives 3-substituted 3-hydroxy-l-pyrrolidinecarboxylates in fair to good yields. Forty-seven pyrrolidinols havebeen synthe-sized with different substituents at the 2-, 3-and 5-positions of the pyrrolidine ring as shown in Table III. Pharmacology.—Compounds listed in Table III were screened for hypnotic activity in fasted albino mice. Loss of the righting reflex following oral administration was used as the criterion for hypnosis. The most potent of the compounds were No. 5, 46, 1, 37, 6, 4, 3, and 8 in the order of descending potency. The medianhypnotic doses for these eight agents ranged from 150 to 760 mg./kg. incomparison to 453 mg./kg. for chloral hydrate as the standard. Their ratios of
