The reaction of succinic anhydride and N-benzylidene-benzylamine gave rise to the corresponding substituted trans-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid, which was transformed stereoselectively into two series of compounds. The first one consists of carboxamides, and the second one includes aminomethyl derivatives. The compounds prepared incorporate both a pyrrolidinone part and other nitrogen containing heterocyclic fragments of pharmacological interest.
