Some Optically Active N-(4-tert-Amino-1-methyl-2-butynyl)-substituted Succinimides and 2-Pyrrolidones and their Absolute Configurations.

Abstract
The enantiomers of N-(1-methyl-4-pyrrolidino-2-butynyl)-2-pyrrolidone, N-(1-methyl-4-pyrrolidino-2-butynyl)succinimide and N-(1-methyl-4-perhydroazepino-2-butynyl)succinimide were prepared from the enantiomers of 1-methyl-2-propynylamine to study their stereoselectivity as oxotremorine antagonists on the guinea pig ileum. The absolute configurations of the optically active compounds were established in 2 independent ways by correlation to (S)-1-methylpropylamine and to (R)-alanine.
