1,5-Diaryl-3-arylamino-4-carboxymethyl-2,5-dihydropyrrol-2-ones were synthesized in the reaction of α-ketoglutaric acid with Schiff bases. Their hydrolysis in concentrated hydrochloric acid results in 1,5-diaryl-3-hydroxy-4-carboxymethyl-2,5-dihydropyrrol-2-ones. These latter are converted into the initial compounds when treated with arylamines. The heating of 1,5-diaryl-4-methoxycarbonyl-2,5-dihydropyrrol-2-ones and their 3-arylamino derivatives above the melting point leads to their decarboxylation, while the treatment with diphenyldiazomethane converts them into the corresponding benzhydryl ethers.
