Methylene protons of benzyl and ethyl ester in ethyl 1-benzyl-2, 3-dioxo-cyclopenta[b]-pyrrole-3a-carboxylate (A) exhibited opposite$^{1}$H-NMR spectral patterns mutually between magnetic equivalence and nonequivalence depending on concentration and temperature. The diastereotopic spectral data of compound A were reported with brief interpretation.
