Abstract
Abstract This review presents a systematic survey of the literature (through the end of 2017) that reports on the reactivity of 3-pyrrolin-2-ones. The discussion starts with site-specific reactivity (N, C2, C3, C4, and C5), followed by reactions across the C3–C4 π-bond, and then transformations of 3-pyrrolin-2-ones to other heterocycles. Throughout the narrative, there is an attempt to show pertinent examples of 3-pyrrolin-2-ones being used as building blocks and intermediates leading to natural products and other complex heterocyclic targets. The review article contains a total of 601 references.
