Procedure: To an ice-cold mixture of 4-hydroxy-2-oxo-1-pyrrolidineacetic acid (1 g) and glycinamide (700 mg) in dimethylformamide (20 ml), dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (1.3 g) was added at once. Stirring was continued for 5 hours at room temperature, then the solvent was removed under vacuum. The residue was suspended in water (20 ml) and stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature. The insoluble material was filtered off and the filtrate evaporated to dryness. The residue was triturated with 2-propanol to yield the title compound (700 mg). was added at once the solvent was removed under vacuum stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature The insoluble material was filtered off the filtrate evaporated to dryness The residue was triturated with 2-propanol

Conditions: temp:80.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A mixture of ethyl 4-hydroxy-2-oxo-1-pyrrolidineacetate (0.5 g) and glycinamide (0.6 g) was stirred under nitrogen at 80° C. for 4 hours. After cooling, the mixture was chromatographed on a silica gel column, by eluting with dichloromethane/methanol 7:3, affording the title compound (250 mg). After cooling the mixture was chromatographed on a silica gel column by eluting with dichloromethane/methanol 7:3

Procedure: A solution of 11.8 g (34.3 mol) of 2-methylpropyl 3-carbamoylmethyl-Beta-hydroxy-2-(1-methylethyl)-4-oxo-1-imidazolidinebutanoate in 90 ml of dimethylformamide and 10 ml of water was gently refluxed (external temp. 130° C.) for 24 hours. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The oily residue was taken up with 40 ml of ethanol and stirred at 0° C. for 30 minutes. The precipitate was collected and crystallized from ethanol/isopropanol 1:1 to give 2.5 g of the title compound as a white powder, m.p. 158°-160° C. Mass spectrum (E.I., 70 eV, 1.5 mA), m/z=197 (M+ --H2O), 180. IR spectrum (oil mull): 3420, 3320, 3220, 1680, 1655 and 1630 cm-1.
