Diastereoselective reduction of 2,3-dioxo-4-carboxy-5-(substituted)pyrrolidine 1 by $NaBH_4/AcOH$ and heterogenous hydrogenation were reported. Stereochemical assignment and diastereomeric ratios of the products were determined using $^1H$ NMR and single crystal X-ray analyses. The steric factors of the C-5 substituents of the pyrrolidinone was shown to have an interesting influence on both the yield and diastereoselectivity of the reduced product.

Pyrrolidine-2,3-dione derivative A was synthesized from oxalylation of chiral enamine Ba. The stereostructure of its major diastereomer $(A_{maj})$ was determined as octahydro-2,3-dioxo-6aS-hyd roxy-1-(1S-methoxycarbonyl-2-phenylethyl)-cyclopenta[b]pyrrole-3aR-carboxylic acid ethyl ester Aa by means of NMR spectrum. This result implied that the asymmetric carbon-carbon bond forming reaction occurred preferentially at the ${\beta}-face$ of Ba.
