Novel 2-oxopyrrolidine compounds represented by the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are hydrogen or alkyl group, respectively, A is alkylene group or phenyl substituted alkylene group, and B is alkylene group, or a salt thereof, a process for the preparation thereof, and a pharmaceutical agent comprising the compound or salt as an effective component.
5-nitromethyl-1-azabicyclo[3.3.0]octane (1), was prepared in one step from 1,7-dichloro-4-heptanone (4) under mild conditions. Catalytic hydrogenation of 1 over Raney Ni in the presence of sodium hydroxide afforded 5-aminomethyl-1-azabicyclo[3.3.0]octane (2) in high yield. Piracetam analogues 20-23, which were pyrrolidine derivatives involving a 1-azabicyclo[3.3.0]octane ring, were synthesized. Pharmacological
