As a part of our study on the improvement of anticonvulsant, here we report the synthesis of N-acyl-$\alpha$-aminosuc-cinimides 1 and N-acyl-$\alpha$-aminoglutarimides 2. (R)-Benzoic acid 4-benzyloxycarbonylamino-2-oxo-pyrrolidin-1-ylester 6a, (R)-4-nifro-benzoic acid 4-benzyloxycarbonylamino-2- oxo-pyrrolidin-1-yl ester 6b, (R) -4-nitro-benzoic acid 4-benzyloxycarbonylamino-2-oxo-pyrrolidin-1-yl ester 6c, and (R)-propionic acid 4-benzyloxycarbonylamino-2-oxo-pyrrolidin-1-yl ester 6d were synthesized from (R)-2-benzyloxy carbonylamino-succinic acid 3 as a starting meterial. (R)-(3- Benzyloxycarbonylamino-2,6-dioxo-piperidin-1-yloxy)-acetic acid methyl ester 10a, (R)-(3-benzyloxycarbonylamino-2,6-dioxo-piperidin-1-yloxy)-acetic acid ethy1 ester 10b, an d (R)-2-(3-benzyloxycarbonylamino-2,6- diox o-piperidin-1-yl oxy)-propionic acid methyl ester l0c were synthesized from (R)- 3-carbobenzyloxy-amino-glutarmic acid 7 as a starting meterial. The yield, mp, IR, $^1H-NMR,\; and^{13}C$- NMR spectra of the products 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, 10a, l0b, l0c are summarized in footnote. The biological studies of these compounds are in progress and will be reported in future.
