Abstract We have examined routes for the preparation of 2-pyrrolidinone-5S-carboxaldehyde which include oxidation of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-pyrrolidinone and reduction of 5-oxoproline ethyl ester. Only the oxidation route proved satisfactory. Moffatt oxidation was most efficient but PCC oxidation gave modest yields of the desired aldehyde.
