• Description: 4-Propylpyrrolidin-2-one is a chemical compound. It is the product of the condensation of two molecules of butyric acid and one molecule of hexanoic acid. The cyclization reaction occurs at the 4 position, forming a six-membered ring. This reaction can be catalyzed by bromine or UV light. Brivaracetam is a drug that belongs to the class of antiepileptic drugs and was developed as an analog of levetiracetam, which inhibits voltage-gated sodium channels in neurons. It has been shown to have only weak affinity for benzodiazepine binding sites and does not cause sedation or memory impairment.
