	abstract = {<p>A short and efficient synthetic approach for brivaracetam has been accomplished via two different routes which utilize Pd-catalyzed oxidative cyclization and ring-closing metathesis (RCM) as the key reaction. These two routes are novel, simple, scalable and rely on (E)-pent-2-en-1-ol and valeraldehyde as a commercially available starting material to yield brivaracetam with good overall yield.
