Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

The influence of the nature of the solvent on the hydrogenation of succinimide over Raney nickel was studied. The greatest rates of reduction of the imide and of the formation of pyrrolidinone were found when alcohols and dioxane were used. An influence of the solvent on the ratio of the rates of the various stages in the synthesis of pyrrolidinone from the imide was found.
