Octahydropyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]diazepin-5-one is a benzyl pyrrole derivative. It is an intermediate in the synthesis of various drugs, such as dl-proline and formate. Octahydropyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]diazepin-5-one can be synthesized from methyl propionate and hydroxyl group. The reaction takes place by nucleophilic substitution of the hydroxyl group with the methyl propionate. This process involves amidation with ammonia or a primary amine to produce octahydropyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]diazepin-5-one.
