In the title oxopyrrolidine, C15H19NO4, the five-membered pyrrolidine ring is in a twist conformation and its mean plane makes an angle of 89.2 (3)° with the phenyl ring. In the crystal, molecules pack as dimers via strong O—H⋯O [R22(10)] interactions cross-linked by weaker C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π interactions. Full synthetic and spectroscopic details are given for the title compound and related dicarboxylates.

The weighting scheme was chosen after the predicted SHELXL parameters gave a significantly poorer distribution of errors over the dataset. The H atom of the ordered hydroxyl group was placed in the position indicated by a difference
and its positions allowed to refine with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(O). The methyl H atoms were constrained to an ideal geometry (C—H = 0.98 Å) with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C), but were allowed to rotate freely about the adjacent C—C bonds. All other H atoms were placed in geometrically idealised positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with C—H distances of 0.95 (aromatic) or 0.99 (methylene) Å with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). Two low angle reflections were omitted from the final cycles of because their observed intensities were much lower than the calculated values as a result of being partially obscured by the beam stop. Five other reflections were identified as outliers and removed from The crystals were minute in one direction, barely adequate but enough data was measured to solve the structure which met the chemical requirement for the study.Data collection: SMART (Siemens, 1996); cell

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The title oxopyrrolidine (I) (see Fig 3) was prepared as part of a programme to elucidate the structure-activity relationships of the Immucillin family of potent purine nucleoside phosphorylase inhibitors (Mason et al., 2007; Edwards et al., 2009, Clinch et al., 2009). Cycloaddition of the nitrone formed from N-benzyl hydroxylamine and acetaldehyde to diethyl maleate forms racemic, isomeric, isoxazolidine dicarboxylates II and III in 3:1 ratio. Reductive cleavage of the major isomer(II) with zinc was accompanied by spontaneous lactam formation to give the crystalline racemic pyrrolidine (I): the (2R*,3R*,4S*) isomer in shown in Figure 1.
The asymmetric unit of (I), Fig 1, contains one independent ethyl-1-benzyl-4-hydroxy-2-methyl-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylate(I) molecule. The five-membered ring (i.e. N1,C5—C2) is in a twist conformation on C2–C3 with Q(2) 0.260 (7)Å and ϕ 236.4 (14)° (Cremer & Pople, 1975). Its mean plane makes an angle of 89.2 (3)° with the planar phenyl ring (C10–C15). Distances and angles are similar to those observed before in the related N-bis(phenylmethyl)-2-pyrrolydinecarboxamide adduct QECBOP (Snider et al., 2000). Lattice binding is provided principally by O–H···O [motif R22(10), Bernstein et al., 1995] interactions, shown in Figure 2; these are supported by cross-linking weaker C–H···O and (one) C–H···π interactions (Table 1).
