Abstract

A one-pot, economical, and efficient synthesis of 1-(4-acetylphenyl)-3-aryloxypyrrolidine-2,5-diones has been accomplished in single steps and in satisfactory yields from 1-(4-acetylphenyl)-pyrrole-2,5-diones and aromatic alcohols. All the compounds were characterized by physical, spectroscopic, and elemental analysis.
