title: 4-(Aminomethyl)-1-aryl-2-pyrrolidinones, a new class of monoamine oxidase B inactivators.
abstract: Both 4-(aminomethyl)-1-phenyl-2-pyrrolidinone (4a) and 4-(aminomethyl)-1- (methoxyphenyl)-2-pyrrolidinone (4b) hydrochlorides were synthesized via a six-step sequence, which represents a general approach to 1,4-disubstituted 2-pyrrolidinones. Both of these compounds inactivated monoamine oxidase B and represent the first in a new class of monomamine oxidase inactivators.
