Pharmacolo~icallv active hydrazine derivatives and processes for the
preparation thereof
The invention relates to a novel class of non-hydrolysable analogues of
peptides that are
cleavable by aspartate proteases, namely hydrazine derivatives, to processes
for the
preparation thereof, to pharmaceutical compositions that comprise those
peptide
analogues, and to the use thereof as medicaments or for the preparation of
pharmaceutical
compositions for contaalling virus-dependent diseases, and to novel
intermediates for the
preparation of those compounds.
The immune deficiency syndrome AIDS ("Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome") is
a
fatal disease. The disease is becoming increasingly widespread throughout the
world
primarily within certain risk groups, but it is also spreading beyond those
risk groups. The
disease already affects millions of people and the conx~ol of its causes is
one of the most
important aims of modern medicine. Hitherto the retrovimses HI:V-1 and HIV-2
(HIV
representing "Human Immunodeficiency Virus") have been identified as a cause
of the
disease and they have been characterised by moleculaz~ biology. From the point
of view of
treatment, in addition to previous ways of mitigating the symptoms of AIDS and
certain
preventive measures, there is particular interest in the search for
compositions that inter-
fere with the reproduction of the virus itself but do not damage the intact
cells and tissues
of the patient.
Compounds that appear especially promising are those which suppress the
,processing of
the protein building blocks of the virus that are biosynthesised in human
cells, and thus
suppress the correct assembly of those building blocks to form complete,
infectious
virions.
HIV-1 and HIV-2 each have in their genome a region that codes for a "gag-
protease". That
"gag-protease" is responsible fox the correct proteolytic cleavage of the
precursor proteins
that are produced from the genome regions coding for the "Group Specific
Antigens"
(gag). During the cleavage, the structural proteins of the virus core are
liberated. The
"gag-protease" itself is a component of a precursor protein encoded by the pal-
genome
region of HIV-1 and HIV-2, which protein also contains the regions for the
"reverse



-2-
transcriptase" and the "integrase" and is thought to be cleaved by
autoproteolysis.
The "gag-protease" cleaves the major core protein p24 of HIV-1 and HIV-2
preferentially
h1-terminally of proline residues, for example in the divalent residues Phe-
Pro, Leu-Pro or
Tyr-Pro. It is a protease having a catalytically active aspartate residue in
the active centre>
a so-called aspartate protease.
If the action of the "gag-protease" could be suppressed, the proteins
necessary for the
assembly of the virus core would no longer be available to the virus. This
would result in
the limitation or even the suppression of the reproduction of the virus. There
is therefore a
need for inhibitory substances for the "gag-protease" for use as antiviral
compositions
against AmS and other retroviral diseases.
A number of "gag-protease" inhibitors containing central groups that axe not
proteo-
lytically cleavable peptide isosters have already been synthesised. Despite
intensive
research, however, it has not been possible hitherto for aspartate protease
inhibitors
suitable for use in humans to be used for the control of A>DS in a majority of
infected
patients, pharmacodynamic problems being the main determining factor in this
regard. In
addition, most of the "gag-protease" inhibitors known hitherto have more than
two
asymmetric carbon atoms in the said central building block, and this
necessitates relatively
expensive stereospecific syntheses or isomer separation methods. The object of
this patent
application is, therefore, to provide a novel class of inhibitory substances
fox viral
aspartate proteases having a novel central building block. Furthermore, it
should be
possible to synthesise that central building block in a sterically simple
manner. In
addition, the novel central building blacks have amino groups at both ends, so
that if
suitable substituents are selected, then, far example, structures analogous to
retro-inverso-
peptides are present.

When, in the compounds of formula I substituted by the mentioned radicals,
nitrogen
atoms having free hydrogen and/or hydroxy groups are vicinal with respect to
double or
triple bonds (as in the case of unsubstituted or substituted alkenyl or
alkynyl R1, R2, Rg or
R9), the corresponding tautomeric imino and oxo compounds are always also
included.
Salts of compounds of formula I are especially acid addition salts, salts with
bases or,
where several salt-forming groups are present, can also be mixed salts or
internal salts.
Salts are especially the pharmaceutically acceptable, non-toxic salts of
compounds of
formula I.
Such salts are formed, for example, from compounds of formula I having an acid
group,
for example a carboxy group, a sulfo group, or a phosphoryl group substituted
by one or
two hydroxy groups, and are, for example, salts thereof with suitable bases,
such as
non-toxic metal salts derived from metals of groups Ia, Ib, lIa and IIb of the
Periodic
Table of the Elements, especially suitable alkali metal salts, for example
lithium, sodium
or potassium salts, or alkaline earth metal salts, for example magnesium or
calcium salts,
also zinc salts or ammonium salts, as well as salts fozrned with organic
amines, such as
unsubstituted or hydroxy-substituted mono-, dl- or tri-alkylamines, especially
mono-, di-
or tri-lower alkylamines, or with quaternary ammonium compounds, for example
with
N-methyl-N-ethylamine, diethylamine, triethylamine, mono-, bis- or tris-(2-
hydroxy-lower
alkyl)amines, such as mono-, bis- or tris-(2-hydroxyethyl)amine, 2-hydroxy-
tert-butyl-
amine or tris(hydroxymethyl)methylamine, N,N-di-lower alkyl-N-(hydroxy-lower
alkyi)-
amines, such as N,N-dimethyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-amine or tri-(2-hydroxyethyl)-
amine,
N-methyl-D-glucamine, or quaternary ammonium salts, such as tetrabutyiammonium
salts. The compounds of formula I having a basic group, for example an amino
group, can
form acid addition salts, for example with inorganic acids, for example
hydrohalic acids,
such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid, or with organic
carboxylic,
sulfonic, sulfo or phospho acids or N-substituted sulfamic acids, for example
acetic acid,
propionic acid, giycolic acid, succinic acid, malefic acid, hydroxymaleic
acid, methyl-
maleic acid, fumaric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, gluconic acid, glucaric
acid, glucuronic
acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, mandelic acid, salicylic acid,
4-aminosali-
cyiic acid, 2-phenoxybenzoic acid, 2-acetoxybenzoic acid, embonic acid,
nicotinic acid or


a
-61-
isonicotinic acid, as well as with amino acids, for example the a-amino acids
mentioned
hereinbefore, especially glutamic acid and aspartic acid, and with
methanesulfonic acid,
ethanesulfonic acid, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid, ethane-1,2-disulfonic acid,
benzene-
sulfonic acid, 4-methylbenzenesuJfonic acid, naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid, 2-
or
3-phosphoglycerate, glucose-6-phosphate, N-cyciohexylsulfamic acid (forming
cycla-
mates) or with other acidic organic compounds, such as ascorbic acid.
Compounds of
formula I having acid and basic groups can also form internal salts.
For isolation or purification purposes, it is also possible to use
pharmaceutically unaccept-
able salts.
The compounds of the present invention have an inhibiting effect on viral
aspartate
proteases, especially a gag-protease-inhibiting effect. In the tests described
below, at
concentrations of 10-6 to 10-9 mol/1 they inhibit especially the action of the
gag-protease
of HIV-1 and HIV-2 and are therefore suitable as agents against diseases
caused by those
viruses or by related retroviruses, fox example against EI.mS.
The ability of the compounds of formula I to inhibit the proteolytic activity
of, fox
example, HIV-1 protease can be demonstrated, for example, by the method
described by J.
I-Iansen et al., The EMBO Journal 7, 1785-1791 (1988). In that method, the
inhibition of
the action of the gag-protease is measured on a substrate that is a fusion
protein of the
gag-precursor protein and MS-2, expressed in E. coli. The substrate and its
cleavage
products are separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and made visible
by
immunoblotting using monoclonal antibodies to MS-2.
In a test that is even simpler to carry out and that gives precise
quantitative results, there is
used as substrate for the gag-protease a synthetic peptide that corresponds to
the cleavage
site of the gag-precursor protein. That substrate and its cleavage products
can be analysed
by high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC).
For example, there is used as substrate for a recombinant HIV-1 protease
(preparation in
accordance with Billich, S. et al., J. Biol. Chem. 263(34), 17905 - 17908
(1990)) a
synthetic chromophoric peptide (for example HT~ARVL[N02]FEANleS (Sachem, Switz-

erland) or an icosapeptide such as RRSNQVSQNYPIVQNIQGRR (prepared by peptide
synthesis using known methods) that corresponds to one of the cleavage sites
of the gag-
precursor protein. That substrate and its cleavage products can be analysed by
high-




0~
-62-
pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC).
For that purpose an inhibitor of formula I to be tested is dissolved in
dimethyl sulfoxide;
the enzyme assay is carried out by adding suitable dilutions of the inhibitor
in 20 mM
~i-morpholinoethanesulfonic acid (MES) buffer, pH 6.0, to the assay mix of
67.2 ~.M of
the above-mentioned chromophoric peptide in 0.3M sodium acetate, 0.1M NaCI, pH
7.4,
or 122 ~.M of the above-mentioned icosapeptide in 20 mM MES buffer, pH 6Ø
The size
of the batches is 100 ~1. The reaction is started by the addition of, in the
first case, 2 ~.1
and, in the second case, 10 ~.1 of HIV-1 protease and is stopped in the first
case after
15 min by the addition of 100 ~1 of 0.3M HC104 and in the second case after
incubation
for one hour at 37°C by the addition of 10 ~.1 of 0.3M HC104. After
centrifugation of the
sample for 5 min at 10 000 x g in 100 ~.1 (batch with chromophoric peptide) or
20 ~.1
(icosapeptide batch) of the resulting supernatant and application to a 125 x
4.6 mm
Nucleosil~ C18-5~, I-IPLC column (Macherey & Nagel, Diiren) and elution, the
reaction
products are quantified by reference to the peak height of the cleavage
product at 280
(batch with chromophoric peptide) or at 215 nm (batch with icosapeptide),
gradient:
100 % eluant 1-> 50 % eluant 1/50 % eluant 2 (eluant 1: 75 % acetonitrile, 90
% H20,
0.1 % trifluoroacetic acid (TFA); eluant 2: 75 % acetonitrile, 25 % H20, 0.08
% TFA) in
the course of 15 min; throughput rate 1 ml/min.
In this test, there are preferably obtained ICSp values (ICSp = the
concentration that
reduces the activity of HIV-1 protease by 50 % compared with a control without
an
inhibitor) of approximately from 10-6 to 10-9M, especially from approximately
10-7 to
approximately 10-8M, for compounds of formula I.
In a further test it can be shown that the compounds of the present invention
protect cells
that normally become infected by HIV from such infection or at least slow down
such
infection. In that test the human T-cell leukaemia cell line MT-2 (Science
229, 563
(1985)), which is extremely sensitive to the cytopathogenic effect of HIV, is
incubated
with HIV alone or with HIV in the presence of the compounds of the invention
and after a
few days the viability of the cells thus treated is assessed.
For that purpose the MT-2 cells are kept at 37°C in humid air with 5 %
C02 in RPMI
1640 medium (Gibco, Switzerland; RPMI 1640 comprises an amino acid mixture
without
L-Gln) supplemented with 10 % heat-inactivated foetal calf serum, L-glutamine,
hepes
(2-(4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazino]-ethanesulfonic acid) and standard
antibiotics. 50 ~.1

wl of
culture medium per well on 9fi-well microtitre, plates. Parallel batches on a
further micro-
titxe plate with cells and test compound receive 1t~0 ~.l of culture medium
without virus.
After incubation for 4 days, the reverse transcriptase (RT) activity is
determined in 10 p.l
of cell supernatant. The RT activity is determined in 50 mM of Iris (a,a,a-
izis(hydroxy-
rnethyl)methylamine, ultra pure, Merck, Federal Republic of Clermany) pH 7.8;
75 mM of
KCI, 2 mM of dithiothreitol, 5 mM of MgCl2; 0.05 % Nonidet P-40 (detergent;
Sigma,
Switzerland); 50 ~.g/ml of polyaderaylic acid (F'harmacia, Sweden); 1.6 p.g/ml
of dT(12-18)
TM
(Sigma, Switzerland). The mixture is filtered through a 0.45 a Acrodisc filter
(Gellman
Science Inc, Ann Arbor) and stored at -20°C. 0. I % (;v/v) [alpha-
32P]dTTP is added to
aliquots of that solution in order to achieve a final radioactive activity of
10 p.Ci/ml. 10 ltl
of the culture supernatant are transferred to a new 96-well microtitre plate
and. 30 ~1 of the
mentioned RT cocktail are added thereto. After mixing, the plate is incubated
for from 1.5
TM
to 3 hours at 37°C. 5 p.l of that reaction mixture are transferred to
Whatman DE81 paper
(Whatman). The dried filters are washed three times for 5 minutes with 300 mM
of
NaCI/25 mM of trisodium citrate and once with 95 °lo ethanol and again
air-dried. Eval-
r
nation is effected in a Matrix packard 9b-well counter (Packard). The ED90
values are
calculated and defined as the lowest concentration of the p~.rticular test
compound that
reduces the RT activity by 90 %'o in comparison with cell batches not treated
with the test
compound. The RT activity is a measure of the reproduction c~f HIV-1.
In that test, the campounds of the invention exhibit an ED90 of approximately
from 10-5
to 10-8M, preferably approximately from 5 x 10-7 to 5 x 10-BM.

The above processes are described in detail below:
I7rocess a) (Addition of an amine to an epoxide):
Depending on the meaning of R~, in the hydrazine derivative of formula III the
amino
group participating in the reaction preferably has at least one free hydrogen
atom; it may,
however, itself have been derivatised in order to increase the reactivity of
the hydrazine
derivative.
The epoxide of formula IV has especially a stn~cture l:hat allows the
preferential terminal
addition of the hydrazine derivative.
Functional groups in starting materials that are not to participate in the
reaction, especially
carboxy, amino, hydroxy, mercapto and sulfo groups, can be protected by
suitable protect-
ing groups (conventional protecting groups) which are customarily used in the
synthesis of
peptide compounds, but also in the synthesis of cephalosporins and penicillms
as well as
nucleic acid derivatives and sugars. Those protecting groups may already be
present in
the precursors and are intended to protect the relevant functional groups
against undesired
secondary reactions, such as acylation, etherification, esterification,
oxidation, solvolysis,
etc.. In certain cases the protecting groups can additionally cause the
reactions to proceed
selectively, for example stereoselectively. It is a characteristic of
protecting groups that
they can be removed easily, i.e. without undesired secondary reactions, for
example by
solvolysis, reduction, photolysis> and also enzymatically, for example also
under physio-
logical conditions. Radicals analogous to protecting groups may, however, also
be present
in the end products. Compounds of formula I having protected functional groups
may




~~72~~~
-97-
have a higher degree of metabolic stability or otherwise better
pharmacodynamic, charact-
eristics than do the corresponding compounds having free functional groups. J-
Ierein-
before and hereinafter, it is protecting groups in the narrower sense that are
referred to
unless the relevant radicals are present in the end products.
The protection of functional groups by such protecting groups, the protecting
groups them-
selves and the reactions for their removal are described, for example, in
standard works
such as J. F. W. McOmie, "Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry", Plenum
Press,
London and New York 1973, in Th. W. Greene, "Protective Groups in Organic
Synthesis",

A carboxy group is protected, for example, in the fornz of an ester group
which can be
removed selectively under mild conditions. A carboxy group protected in
esterified form
is esterifted especially by a lower alkyl group that is preferably branched in
the 1-position
of the lower alkyl group or substituted in the 1- or 2-position of the lower
alkyl group by
suitable substituents.
A protected carboxy group esterified by a lower alkyl group is, for example,
methoxy-
carbonyl or ethoxycarbonyl.
A protected carboxy group esterified by a lower alkyl group that is branched
in the
1-position of the lower alkyl group is, for example, tert-lower
alkoxycarbonyl, for example
tent-butoxycarbonyl.
A protected carboxy group esterified by a lower alkyl group that is
substituted in the 1- or
2-position of the lower alkyl group by suitable substituents is, for example,
aryimethoxy-
carbonyl having one or two aryl radicals, wherein aryl is phenyl that is
unsubstituted or
mono-, di- or tri-substituted, for example, by lower alkyl, for example tert-
lower alkyl,
such as tort-butyl, lower alkoxy, for example methoxy, hydroxy, halogen, for
example

substituted
by the mentioned substituents, for example 4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl or 4-
methoxy-
benzyloxycarbonyl, diphenylmethoxycarbonyl or diphenylmethoxycarbonyl
substituted liy
the mentioned substituents, for example di(4-methoxyphenyl)methoxycarbonyl,
and also
carboxy esterified by a lower alkyl group, the lower alkyl group being
substituted in the f-
or 2-position by suitable substituents, such as 1-lower alkoxy-lower
alkoxycarbonyl, for
example methoxymethoxycarbonyl, 1-methoxyethoxycarbonyl or 1-ethoxyethoxy-
carbonyl, 1-lower alkylthio-lower alkoxycarbonyl, for example 1-
methylthiamethoxy-
carbonyl ar 1-ethylthioethoxycarbonyl, aroylmethoxycarbonyl wherein the aroyl
group is
benzoyl that is unsubstituted or substituted, for example, by halogen, such as
bromine, for
example phenacyloxycarbonyl, 2-halo-lower alkoxycarbonyl, for example 2,2,2-
trichlaro-
ethoxycarbonyl, 2-bromaethoxycarbonyl or 2-iodaethoxycarbonyl, as well as 2-
(tri-substi-
tuted silyl)-lower alkoxycarbonyl wherein the substituents are each
independently of the
others an aliphatic, araliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon
radical that is
unsubstituted or substituted, for example, by lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, aryl,
halogen
and/or by vitro, for example lower alkyl, phenyl-lawe:r alkyl, cycloalkyl or
phenyl each of
which is unsubstituted or substituted as above, for example 2-tri-lower
alkylsilyl-lower
alkaxycarbonyl, such as 2-tri-lower alkylsilylethoxycarbonyl, for example 2-
trimethyl-
silylethoxycarbonyl or 2-(di-n-butyl-methyl-silyl)-ethoxycarbonyl, or 2-
triarylsilylethoxy-
carbonyl, such as triphenylsilylethoxycarbonyl.
A carboxy group can also be protected in the form of an organic
silyloxycarbonyl group.
An organic silyloxycarbonyl group is, for example, a tri-lower
alkylsilyloxycarbonyl
group, for example trimethylsilyloxycarbonyl. The silicon atom of the
silyloxycarbonyl-
group can also be substituted by two lower alkyl groups, for example methyl
groups, and
the amino group or the carboxy group of a second molecule of formula I.
Compounds
having such protecting groups can be prepared, for example, using
dimethylchlorosilane
as silylating agent.
A protected carboxy group is preferably tert-lower alkoxycarbonyl, for example
tert-but-
oxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, 4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl, 9-
fluorenylmethoxycarbanyl
or diphenylmethoxycarbonyl.
A protected amino group can be protected by an amino-protecting group, for
example in
the form of an acylamino, arylmethylamino, etherified mercaptoamino, 2-acyl-
lower
alk-1-enylamino or silylamino group or in the form of an azido group.

In a corresponding acylamino group, acyl is, for example, the acyl radical of
an organic
carboxylic acid having, for example, up to 18 carbon atoms, especially an
unsubstituted or
substituted, for example halo- or aryl-substituted, lower alkanecarboxylic
acid or an
unsubstituted or substituted, for example halo-, lower alkoxy- or nitre-
substituted, benzoic
acid, or, preferably, of a carbonic acid semi-aster. Such acyl groups are, for
example,
lower allcanoyl, such as formyl, acetyl, propionyl or pivaloyl, halo-lower
alkanoyl, for

or nitro-
substituted, benzoyl, such as benzoyl, 4-chlorobenzoyl, 4-methoxybenzoyl or 4-
nitro-
benzoyl, lower alkoxycarbonyl, preferably lower alkoxycarbonyl that is

1-position of the lower alkyl radical or suitably substituted in the 1- or 2-
position, for
example tert-lower alkoxycarbonyl, such as tert-butoxycarbonyl,
arylmethoxycarbonyl
having one, two or three aryl radicals which are phenyl that is unsubstituted
or mono- or
poly-substituted, for example, by lower alkyl, especially tert-lower alkyl,
such as
tert-butyl, lower alkoxy, such as methoxy, hydroxy, halogen, such as chlorine,
and/or by
nitre, for example benzyloxycarbonyl, 4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl,
diphenylmethoxy-
carbonyl, 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl or di(4-methoxyphenyl)methoxycarbonyl,

alkoxycarbonyl, for
example 2-tri-lower alkylsilyl-lower alkoxycarbonyl, such as 2-
trimethylsilylethoxy-
carbonyl or 2-(di-n-butyl-methyl-silyl)-ethoxycarbonyl, or triarylsilyl-lower
alkoxy-
carbonyl, for example 2-triphenylsilylethoxycarbonyl.
In an arylmethylamino group, which is, for example, a mono-, di- or especially
tri-aryl-
methylamino group, the aryl radicals are especially unsubstituted or
substituted phenyl
radicals. Such groups are, for example, benzyl-, diphenylmethyl- or especially
trityl-
amino.
In an etherified mercaptoamino group the mercapto group is especially in the
form of
substituted arylthio or aryl-lower alkylthio, wherein aryl is, for example,
phenyl that is
unsubstituted or substituted, for example, by lower alkyl, such as methyl or
test-butyl,
lower alkoxy, such as methoxy, halogen, such as chlorine, and/or by nitre, for
example
4-nitrophenylthio.

ioo
In a 2-acyl-lower alk-1-enyl radical that can be used as an amino-protecting
group, acyl is,
for example, the corresponding radical of a lower alkanecarboxylic acid, of a
benzoic acid
that is unsubstituted or substituted, for example, by lower alkyl, such as
methyl or tert-
butyl, lower alkoxy, such as methoxy, halogen, such as chlorine, and/or by
nitro, or
especially of a carbonic acid semi-ester, such as a carbonic acid lower alkyl
semi-ester.
Corresponding protecting groups are especially 1-lower alkanoyl-lower alk-1-en-
2-yl, for
example 1-lower alkanoyiprop-1-en-2-yl, such as 1-acetylprop-1-en-2-yl, or
lower alkoxy-
carbonyl-lower alk-1-en-2-yl, for example lower alkoxycarbonyl-prop-1-en-2-yl,
such as
1-ethoxycarbonylprop-1-en-2-yl.
A silylamino group is, for example, a tri-lower alkylsilylamino group, for
example
trimethylsilylamino or tert-butyl-dimethylsilylamino. The silicon atom of the
silylamino
group can also be substituted by only two lower alkyl groups, for example
methyl groups,
and the amino group or carboxy group of a second molecule of formula I.
Compounds
having such protecting groups can be prepared, for example, using the
corresponding
chlorosilanes, such as dimethylchlorosilane, as silylating agents.
An amino group can also be protected by conversion into the protonated form;
suitable
corresponding anions are especially those of strong inorganic acids, such as
sulfuric acid,
phosphoric acid or hydrohalic acids, for example the chlorine or bromine
anion, or of
organic sulfonic acids, such as p-toluenesulfonic acid.
Preferred amino-protecting groups are lower alkoxycarbonyl, phenyl-lower
alkoxycar-
bonyl, fluorenyl-lower alkoxycarbonyl, 2-lower alkanoyl-lower alk-1-en-2-yl
and lower
alkoxycarbonyl-lower allc-1-en-2-yI.
A hydroxy group can be protected, fox example, by an acyl group, for example
lower
alkanoyl substituted by halogen, such as chlorine, such as 2,2-dichloroacetyl,
or especially
by an acyl radical of a carbonic acid semi-ester mentioned for protected amino
groups. A
preferred hydroxy-protecting group is, for example, 2,2,2-
trichloroethoxycarbonyl,
4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl, diphenylmethoxycarbonyl or trityl. A hydroxy group
can also
be protected by tri-lower alkylsilyl, for example trimethylsilyl,
triisopropylsilyl or tert-
butyl-dimethylsilyl, a readily removable etherifying group, for example an
alkyl group,
such as tert-lower alkyl, for example tert-butyl, an oxa- or a thia-aliphatic
or -cyclo-
aliphatic, especially 2-oxa- or 2-thia-aliphatic or -cycloaliphatic,
hydrocarbon radical, for

example 1-lower alkoxy-lower alkyl or 1-lower alkylthio-lower alkyl, such as
methoxy-
methyl, 1-methoxyethyl, 1-ethoxyethyl, methylthiomethyl, 1-methylthioethyl or
1-ethyl-
thioethyl, or ~-oxa- or 2-thia-cycloalkyl having from 5 to 7 ring atoms, such
as 2-tetra-
hydrofuryl or 2-tetrahydropyranyl, or a corresponding thia analogue, as well
as by
1-phenyl-lower allcyl, such as benzyl, diphenylmethyl or trityl, wherein the
phenyl radicals
can be substituted, for example, by halogen, for example chlorine, lower
alkoxy, for
example methoxy, and/or by nitro.
Two hydxoxy groups, especially adjacent hydroxy groups, occurring in a
molecule, or a
hydroxy group and an amino group that are adjacent to one another, can be
protected, for
example, by bivalent protecting groups, such as a methylene group that is
preferably
substituted, for example, by one or two lower alkyl radicals or by oxo, for
example
unsubstituted or substituted alkylidene, for example lower alkylidene, such as
isopropyl-
idene, cycloalkylidene, such as cyclohexylidene, a carbonyl group or
benzylidene.
A mercapto group, for example in cysteine, can be protected especially by S-
alkylation
with unsubstituted or substituted alkyl radicals, by silylation, by thioacetal
formation, by
S-acylation or by the formation of asymmetric disulfide groupings. Preferred
mercapto-
protecting groups are, for example, benzyl that is unsubstituted or
substituted in the phenyl
radical, for example by methoxy or by vitro, such as ~l-methoxybenzyl,
diphenylmethyl
that is unsubstituted or substituted in the phenyl radical, fox example by
methoxy, such as
di-(4-methoxyphenyl)-methyl, triphenylmethyl, pyxidyldiphenylmethyl,
trimethylsilyl,
benzylthiomethyl, tetrahydropyranyl, acylaminomethyl, such as acetamidomethyl,
iso-
butyrylacetamidomethyl or 2-chloroacetamidomethyl, benzoyl, benzyloxycarbonyl
or
alkyl-, especially lower alkyl-aminocarbonyl, such as ethylaminocarbonyl, as
well as
lower alkylthio, such as S-ethylthio or S-tent-butylthio, ar S-sulfo.
A sulfo group can be protected, for example, by lower allcyl, for example
methyl or ethyl,
by phenyl or in the form of a sulfonamide, for example in the form of an
imidazolide.
In the context of this Application, a protecting group, for example a carboxy-
protecting
group, is to be understood as being expressly also a polymeric carrier that is
bonded in a
readily removable manner to the functional group, for example the carboxy
gxoup, to be
protected, for example a earner suitable for the Merrifield synthesis. An
example of such
a suitable polymeric carrier is a polystyrene resin, weakly cross-linked by
copolymerisa-
tion with divinylbenzene, that carries bridge members suitable for reversible
bonding.

catalysts, for
example hydroxide solutions, such as sodium hydroxide solution, or in the
presence of
solid phase catalysts doped with the hydrazine, such as aluminium oxide, in
ethers, for
example diethyl ether, in general at temperatures of approximately from
0°C to the boiling
temperature of the reaction mixture in question, preferably from 20° to
130°C, where
appropriate under reflux, under increased pressure, for example in a bomb
tube, it being
possible also to exceed the boiling temperature, and/or under inert gas, such

molar ratio of
from 1:1 to 1:10, especially in a ratio of from 1:1 to 1:3.
The freeing of protected groups is effected as appropriate by the methods
described under
Process f) Removal of protecting groups).
Process b) (Formation of an amide bond)
In starting materials of formulae V and VI, functional groups, with the
exception of the
groups that are intended to participate in the reaction or that do not react
under the
reaction conditions, are protected each independently of the others by one of
the protecting
groups mentioned under Process a).
The compounds of formula VI contain a free carboxy, sulfo or phosphoryl group
or
reactive acid derivatives thereof, for example the derived activated esters or
reactive
anhydrides, and also reactive cyclic amides. The reactive acid derivatives can
also be
formed fn citu.

especially esters unsaturated at the linking carbon atom of the esterifying
radical, for
example of the vinyl ester type, such as vinyl esters (obtainable, for
example, by traps-
esterification of a corresponding ester with vinyl acetate; activated vinyl
ester method),
carbamoyl esters (obtainable, for'example, by treatment of the corresponding
acid with an
isoxazolium reagent; 1,2-oxazolium or Woodward method), or 1-lower alkoxyvinyl
esters
(obtainable, for example, by treatment of the corresponding acid with a lower
alkoxy-
acetylene; ethoxyacetylene method), or esters of the amidino type, such as

stituted amidino esters (obtainable, for example, by treatment of the
corresponding acid

(obtainable, for
example, by treatment of the corresponding acid with an N,N-disubstituted
cyanamide;
cyanamide method), suitable aryl esters, especially phenyl esters suitably

di-
carboxylic acid imide, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole or 3-hydroxy-3,4-dihydro-1,2,3-
benzo-
triazin-4-one, for example by the anhydride or carbodiimide method; activated

esters method). Internal esters, for example y-lactones, can also be used.
Anhydrides of acids may be symmetric or preferably mixed anhydrides of those
acids, for
example anhydrides with inorganic acids, such as acid halides, especially acid
chlorides

chloride,
phosphorus pentachloride, phosgene or oxalyl chloride; acid chloride method),
azides
(obtainable, for example, from a corresponding acid ester via the
corresponding hydrazide

carbonic acid
semi-esters, for example carbonic acid lower alkyl semi-esters (obtainable,
for example,

by treatment of the corresponding acid with chloroformic acid lower alkyl
esters or with a
1-lower alkaxycarbonyl-2-lower alkoxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline; mixed (?-
alkylcarbonic
acid anhydrides method), or anhydrides with dihalogenated, especially
dichlarinated,
phosphoric acid (obtainable, for example, by treatment of the corresponding
acid with
phosphorus oxychloride; phosphorus oxychloride method), anhydrides with other
phosphoric acid derivatives (for example those obtainable with phenyl-N-
phenylphosphor-
amidochloridate or by reaction of alkylphosphoric acid amides in the presence
of sulfonic
acid anhydrides and/or racemisation-reducing additives, such as N-
hydroxybenzotriazole,
or in the presence of cyanophosphonic acid diethyl ester) or with phosphorous
acid deriv-
atives, or anhydrides with organic acids, such as mixed anhydrides with
organic acids,
such as mixed anhydrides with organic carboxylic acids (obtainable, for
example, by treat-
ment of the corresponding acid with an unsubstituted or substituted lower
alkane- or
phenyl-lower alkane-carboxylic acid halide, for example phenylacetic acid
chloride,
pivalic acid chloride or trifluoroacetic acid chloride; mixed carboxylic acid
anhydrides
method) or with organic sulfonic acids (obtainable, fo:r example, by treatment
of a salt,
such as an alkali metal salt, of the corresponding acid with a suitable
organic sulfonic acid
halide, such as lower alkane- or aryl-, for example methane- or p-toluene-
sulfonic acid
chloride; mixed sulfonic acid anhydrides method) and symmetric anhydrides
(obtainable,
for example, by condensation of the corresponding acid in the presence of a
carbodiimide
or 1-diethylaminopropyne; symmetric anhydrides method).
Suitable cyclic amides are especially amides having five-membered diazacycles
of
aromatic character, such as amides with imidazoles, for example imidazole
(obtainable,
for example, by treatment of the corresponding acid with N,N'-
carbonyldiimidazole;
imidazole method), or pyrazole, for example 3,5-dimethylpyrazole (obtainable,
for
example, via the acid hydrazide by treatment with acetylacetone; pyrazolide
method).
As mentioned, derivatives of carboxylic acids that are used as acylating
agents can also be
formed in situ. For example, N,N'-disubstituted amidino esters can be fozmed
in situ by
reacting a mixture of the starting material of formula V and the acid used as
acylating
agent, in the presence of a suitable N,N'-disubstituted carbodiimide, for
example
N,N'-cyclohexylcarbodiimide. In addition, amino or amido esters of the acids
used as
acylating agents can be formed in the presence of the starting material of
formula V to be
acylated, by reacting a mixture of the corresponding acid and amino starting
materials in
the presence of an N,N'-disubstituted carbodiimide, for example N,N'-
dicyclohexylcarbo-
diimide, and of an N-hydroxyamine or N-hydroxyamide, for example N-
hydroxysuccin-




~o~~~~~
- 105
imide, where appropriate in the presence of a suitable base, for example 4-
dimethyl-
amino-pyridine. Moreover, activation in situ can be achieved by reaction with
N,N,N',N'-tetraalkyluronium compounds, such as O-benzotriazol-1-yl-N,N,N',N'-
tetra-
methyluronium hexafluorophosphate, O-(1,2-dihydro-2-oxo-1-pyridyl)-N,N,N',N'-
tetra-
methyluronium tetrafluoroborate or O-(3,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,2,3-benzotriazolin-3-
yl)-
N,N,N',N'-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate. Finally, phosphoric acid
anhydrides of
the carboxylic acids of formula VI or VII can be prepared in situ by reacting
an alkyl-
phosphoric acid amide, such as hexamethylphosphoric acid triamide, in the
presence of a
sulfonic acid anhydride, such as 4-toluenesulfonic acid anhydride, with a
salt> such as a
tetrafluoroborate, for example sodium tetrafluoroborate, or with another
derivative of
hexamethylphosphoric acid triamide, such as benzotriazol-1-yloxy-
tris(dimethylamino)-
phosphonium hexafluoride, preferably in the presence of a racemisation-
reducing additive,
such as N-hydroxybenzotriazole.
In an analogous manner, many of the reaction types listed above for carboxylic
acids of
fornnula VI can also be carried out for compounds of formula III having a
terminal
sulfonyl or phosphoryl group in the condensation with compounds of formula V
to form
sulfonamides.
For example, it is possible to use activated sulfonic acid esters, for example
the corres-
ponding aryl esters, especially those substituted by nitro groups, such as
phenyl esters, it
being possible far the amine component of formula V also to be used in the
farm of an
alkali metal amide, for example an alkali metal arylamide, such as sodium
aniline amide,
or an alkali metal salt of nitrogen-containing heterocycles, for example
potassium
pyrrolide.
In addition, reactive anhydrides, such as the corresponding symmetric acid
anhydrides
(which can be prepared, for example, by reaction of the alkylsulfonic acid
silver salts with
alkylsulfonyl chlorides) or, preferably, the corresponding asymmetric acid
anhydrides, fox
example anhydrides with inorganic acids, such as sulfonyl halides, especially
sulfonyl
chlorides (obtainable, for example, by reaction of the corresponding sulfonic
acids with
inorganic acid chlorides, for example thionyl chloride, phosphon~s
pentachloride), with
organic carboxylic acids (obtainable, for example, by treatment of a sulfonic
acid halide
with the salt of a carboxylic acid, such as an alkali metal salt, analogously
to the above-
mentioned mixed sulfonic acid anhydrides method), or azides (obtainable, for
example,
from a corresponding sulfonic acid chloride and sodium azide or via the
corresponding
k t

hydxazide and treatment thereof with nitrous acid analogously to the above-
mentioned
azide method).
The phosphoryl radicals IZ9 having the above-mentioned substituents can be
fused to
compounds of formula V by analogous processes, such as by means of activated
phosphorus derivatives, for example correspondingly substituted phosphoryl
halides
having one or more halogen atoms, such as phosphorus oxychloride, in the
absence or the
presence of bases, such as sterically hindered amines, in aqueous or non-
aqueous solvents,
any excess halogen atoms subsequently being replaced by suitable substituents
by hydrol-
ysis or by reactian with the corresponding alcohols. .
The phosphoryl radicals substituted by hydroxy, alkoxy, cycloalkoxy,
cycloalkyl-lower
alkoxy, aryloxy or by aryl-lower alkoxy can be reacted with the compounds of
formula V,
for example by reaction of the correspondingly substituted phosphates, for
example diaryl-
oxyphosphite or dialkoxyphosphite, or the correspondingly substituted mono- or
di-halo-,
such as mono- or di-chloro-phosphates, in the presence of a base, such as 2,6-
dimethyl-
pyridine, triethylamine or imidazole, in aqueous or anhydrous solvents, such
as alcohols,
far example ethanol, corresponding esters or dichloromethane or
tetrachlorometiiane,
where appropriate under a protective gas, such as argon, at temperatures of
from -50 to
100°C, preferably from -10 to 50°C, especially under the
conditions described in European
Patent .Application EP-A 0 376 040 published on 04.07.90.
The cozresponding phosphoryl radicals substituted symmetrically or,
preferably,
asymmetrically by the mentioned radicals bonded via oxy can be obtained by
reaction of
phosphorus trihalides, such as phosphorus trichloride, with the corresponding
amines of
formula V and in the presence of organic amines, such as triethylamine, the
corresponding
dichlorophosphoryl compounds being formed, reaction of those compounds with
the first
corresponding alcohol or with water which are preferably used in
stoichiometric amounts,
in the presence of a tertiary amine, and where appropriate subsequent reaction
of the
second halogen atom with a further alcohol ar water in the presence of a
tertiary amine, to
obtain the corresponding disubstituted phosphate compounds which are then
oxidised; for
example with halogens, such as iodine, peroxides, such as hydrogen peroxide,
peracids,
such as m-chloroperbenzoic acid, or with molecular oxygen.
The amino group of compounds of formula V that participates in the reaction
preferably
carnes at least one reactive hydrogen atom, especially when the carboxy,
sulfonyl or




- 107 -
phosphoryl group with which it reacts is present in reactive form; it may,
however, itself
have been derivatised, for example by reaction with a phosphite, such as
diethylchloro-
phosphite, 1,2-phenylenechlorophosphite; ethyl dichlorophosphite,
ethylenechloro- '
phosphite or tetraethylpyrophosphite. A derivative of such a compound having
an amino
group is, for example, also a carbamic acid halide or an isocyanate, the amino
group that
participates in the reaction being substituted by halocarbonyl, for example
chlorocarbonyl,
or being modified in the form of an isocyanate group; in the latter case only
compounds of
formula I that carry a hydrogen atom at the nitrogen atom of the amide group
formed by
the reaction are obtainable.
If the compound of formula V is mono-substituted at the amino group by lower
allyl or by
aryl-lower alkyl, then a corresponding urea compound also constitutes a
reactive
derivative, For example, on hating equimolar amounts of that urea compound and
the
compound of formula VI or VIII having a free carboxy group, corresponding
compounds
of formula I are obtained.
Condensation for the preparation of an amide bond can be earned out in a
manner.known
per se, for example as described in standard works such as "Houben-Weyl,
Methoden der

The condensation of a free carboxylic acid with the corresponding amine can be
carried
out preferably in the presence of one of the customary condensation agents, or
using
carboxylic acid anhydrides or carboxylic acid halides, such as chlorides, or
activated
carboxylic acid esters, such as p-nitrophenyl esters. Customary condensation
agents are,
for example, carbodiimides, for example diethyl-, dipropyl-, N-ethyl-N'-(3-
dimethyl-
aminopropyl)-carbodiimide or especially dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, also
suitable carbonyl
compounds, for example carbonylimidazole, 1,2-oxazolium compounds, for example
2-ethyl-5-phenyl-1,2-oxazolium 3'-sulfonate and 2-tert-butyl-5-
methylisoxazolium
perchlorate, or a suitable acylaznino compound, for example 2-ethoxy-1-
ethoxycarbonyl-
1,2-dihydroquinoline, N,N,N',N'-tetraalkyluronium compounds, such as O-
benzotri-
azol-1-yl-N,N,N',N'-tetramethyluroniurn hexafluorophosphate, also activated
phosphoric

hexafluorophosphate.
If desired, an organic base is added, preferably a tertiary amine, for example
a tri-lower
alkylamine having bulky radicals, for example ethyl diisopropylamine or
triethylamine,
and/or a heterocyclic base, for example 4-dimethylaminopyridine or preferably
N-methyl-
morpholine or pyridine.
The condensation of activated esters, reactive anhydrides or reactive cyclic
amides with
the corresponding amines is customarily carried out in the presence of an
organic base, for
example simple tri-lower alkylamines, for example triethylamine or
tributylamine, or one
of the above-mentioned organic bases. If desired, a condensation agent is
additionally
used, for example as described for free carboxylic acids.
The condensation of acid anhydrides with amines can be effected, for example,
in the
presence of inorganic carbonates, for example ammonium or alkali metal
carbonates or
hydrogen carbonates, such as sodium or potassium carbonate or hydrogen
carbonate (if
desired together with a sulfate).
Carboxylic acid chlorides, for example the chlorocarbonic acid derivatives
derived from
the acid of formula VI, or sulfonic acid chlorides are Condensed with the
corresponding
amines preferably in the pxesence of an organic amine, for example the above-
mentioned
tri-lower alkylarnines or heterocyclic bases, where appropriate in the
presence of a
hydrogen sulfate.
The condensation is preferably carried out in an inert, aprotic, preferably
anhydrous,
solvent or solvent mixture, for example in a carboxylic acid amide, for
example
formamide or dimethylformamide, a halogenated hydrocarbon, for example
methylene
chloride, carbon tetrachloride or chlorobenzene, a ketone, for example
acetone, a cyclic
ether, for example tetrahydrofuran, an ester, for example ethyl acetate, or a
nitrite, for
example acetanitrile, or in a mixture thereof, as appropriate at reduced or
elevated
temperature, for example in a temperature range of from approximately -
40°C to approx-
imately +100°C, preferably from approximately -10°C to
approximately +50°C, and in the
case where arylsulfonyl esters are used also at approximately from
+100°C to +200°C, and
where appropriate under an inert gas atmosphere, for example a nitrogen or
argon
atmosphere.

Aqueous, for example alcoholic, solvents, for example ethanol, or aromatic
solvepts, for
example benzene or toluene, may also be used. When alkali metal hydroxides are
present
as bases, acetone can also be added where appropriate.
The condensation can also be carried out in accordance with the technique
known as solid
phase synthesis which originates from R. Merrifield and is described, far
example, in
Angew. Chem. 97, 801 - 812 (1985), Naturwissenschaften 71, 252 - 258 (1984) or
in R. A.

Process c) (Formation of an amide bond)
In starting materials of formulae VII and VIII, functional groups, with the
exception of the

formula VI or VIII.
Preferred as starting materials of formula IX that may be protected by
protecting groups
are those of formula II which are described below in the section relating to
starting
materials.
The process is totally analogous to the process mentioned under Process b),

In starting materials of formula I' and in the compound of formula XII
suitable for intro-
ducing the radical R~", or the reactive derivatives thereof, functional groups
that are not
intended to participate in the reaction or that do not react under the
reaction conditions are

A leaving group X is especially a nucleofugal leaving group selected from
hydroxy esteri-
fied by a strong inorganic or organic acid, such as hydroxy esterified by a
mineral acid, for
example a hydrohalic acid, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid or
hydriodic acid,
or by a strong organic sulfonic acid, such as a lower alkanesulfonic acid that
is unsubsti-
tuted or substituted, for example by halogen, such as fluorine, or an aromatic
sulfonic acid,
for example a benzenesulfonic acid that is unsubstituted or substituted by
lower alkyl,
such as methyl, halogen, such as bromine, and/or by nitro, for example a
methanesulfonic
acid, p-bromotoluenesulfonic acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid, or hydroxy
esterified by

hydrazoic acid.
The substitution can take place under the conditions of a first-order or
second-order
nucleophilic substitution. '
For example, the compound of formula XII wherein X is a leaving group having a
high
polarisability of the electron shell, for example iodine, can be reacted in a
polar apzotic
solvent, for example acetone, acetonitrile, nitromethane, dimethyl sulfoxide
or dimethyl-
formamide. The reactionmay also be carried out in water to which, where
appropriate, an
organic solvent, for example ethanol, tetrahydrofuran or acetone, has been
added as
solubiliser. The substitution reaction is carried out as appropriate at
reduced or elevated
temperature, for example in a temperature range of from approximately -
40° to
approximately 100°C, preferably from approximately -10° to
approximately 50°C, and
where appropriate under an inert gas, for example under a nitrogen or argon
atmosphere.
The freeing of protected groups is effected where appropriate by the methods
described
under Process f) (Removal of protecting groups).
Process f) (Removal of protecting groups)
The xemoval of protecting groups that are not constituents of the desired end
product of
formula I, for example the carboxy-, amino-, hydroxy-, mercapto- and/or sulfo-
protecting
groups, is effected in a manner known her se, for example by means of
solvolysis,
especially hydrolysis, alcoholysis or acidolysis, or by means of reduction,
especially
hydrogenolysis or chemical reduction, as well as by photolysis, as appropriate
stepwise or
simultaneously, it being possible also to use enzymatic methods. The removal
of the
protecting groups is described, for example, in the standard works mentioned
above in the
section relating to "Protecting groups".
For example, protected carboxy, for example tert-lower alkoxycarbonyl, lower
alkoxy-
carbonyl substituted in the 2-position by a trisubstituted silyl group or in
the 1-position by
lower alkoxy or lower alkylthio, or unsubstituted or substituted
diphenylmethoxycarbonyl
can be converted into free carboxy by treatment with a suitable acid, such as
formic acid,
hydrogen chloride or trifluoroacetic acid, where appropriate with the addition
of a nucleo-
philic compound, such as phenol or anisole. Carboxy can also be freed from
lower
alkoxycarbonyl by means of bases, such as hydroxides, for example alkali metal




112 -
hydroxides, such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. Unsubstituted or.
substituted benzyloxycarbonyl can be freed, for example, by means of
hydrogenolysis, i.e.
by treatment with hydrogen in the presence of a metal hydrogenation catalyst,
such as a '
palladium catalyst. In addition, suitably substituted benzyloxycarbonyl, such
as 4-nitro-
benzyloxycarbonyl, can also be converted into free carboxy by reduction, for
example by
treatment with an alkali metal dithionate, such as sodium dithionate, or with
a reducing
metal, for example zinc,, or a reducing metal salt, such as a chromium(II)
salt, for example
chromium(II) chloride, customarily in the presence of a hydrogen-yielding
agent that,
together with the metal, is capable of producing nascent hydrogen, such as an
acid,
especially a suitable carboxylic acid, such as an unsubstituted or
substituted, for example
hydroxy-substituted, lower alkanecarboxylic acid, for example acetic acid,
formic acid,
glycolic acid, diphenylglycolic acid, lactic acid, mandelic acid, 4-
chloromandelic acid or
tartaric acid, or in the presence of an alcohol or thiol, water preferably
being added. By
treatment with a reducing metal or metal salt, as described above, 2-halo-
lower alkoxy-
carbonyl (where appropriate after conversion of a 2-bromo-lower alkoxycarbonyl
group
into a corresponding 2-lode-lower alkoxycarbonyl group) or
aroylmethoxycarbonyl can
also be converted into free carboxy. Aroylmethoxycarbonyl can also be cleaved
by
treatment with a nucleophilic, preferably salt-forming, reagent, such as
sodium thio-
phenolate or sodium iodide. 2-(tri-substituted silyl)-It>wer alkoxycarbonyl,
such as 2-tri-
lower alkylsilyl-lower alkoxycarbonyl, can also be converted into free carboxy
by
treatment with a salt of hydrofluoric acid that yields the fluoride anion,
such as an alkali
metal fluoride, for example sodium or potassium fluoride, where appropriate in
the
presence of a macrocyclic polyether ("Crown ether"), or with a fluoride of an
organic
quaternary base, such as tetra-lower alkylammonium fluoride or tri-lower
alkylaryl-lower
alkylammonium fluoride, for example tetraethylammonium fluoride or tetrabutyl-
amtnonium fluoride, in the presence of an aprotic, polar solvent, such as
dimethyl
sulfoxide or N,N-dimethylacetamide. Carboxy protected in the form of organic
silyloxy-
carbonyl, such as tri-lower alkylsilyloxycarbonyl, for example
trimethylsilyloxycarbonyl,
can be freed in customary manner by solvolysis, for example by treatment with
water, an
alcohol or an acid, or, furthermore, a fluoride, as described above.
Esterified carboxy can
also be freed enzymatically, for example by means of esterases or suitable
peptidases, for
example esterified arginine or lysine, such as lysine methyl ester, using
trypsin.
A protected amino group is freed in a manner known Qer se and, according to
the nature of
the protecting groups, in various ways, preferably by solvolysis or reduction.

conversion
of a 2-bromo-lower alkoxycarbonylamino group into a 2-iodo-lower
alkoxycarbonylamino
group), or dissolved directly in a liquid organic carboxylic acid, such as
formic acid and
aroylmethoxycarbonylamino or 4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonylamino can be cleaved, for
example, by treatment with a suitable reducing agent, such as zinc in the
presence of a
suitable carboxylic acid, such as aqueous acetic acid.
Aroylmethoxycarbonylamino can
also be cleaved by treatment with a nucleophilic, preferably salt-forming,
reagent, such as
sodium thiophenolate, and 4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonylamino also by treatment with
an
alkali metal dithionate, for example sodium dithionate. Unsubstituted or
substituted
diphenylmethoxycarbonylamino, ten-lower alkoxycarbonylamino or 2-(tri-
substituted
silyl)-lower alkoxycarbonylamino, such as 2-tri-lower alkylsilyl-lower
alkoxycarbonyl-
amino, can be freed by treatment with a suitable acid, fox example formic acid
or trifluoro-
acetic acid; unsubstituted or substituted benzyloxycar'bonylamino can be
freed, for
example, by means of hydrogenolysis, i.e. by treatment with hydrogen in the
presence of a
suitable hydrogenation catalyst, such as a platinum or palladium catalyst;
unsubstituted or
substituted triarylmethylamino or formylamino can be; freed, for example, by
treatment
with an acid, such as a mineral acid, for example hydrochloric acid, or an
organic acid, for
example formic, acetic or trifluoroacetic acid, where appropriate in the
presence of water;
and an amino group protected in the form of silylamino can be freed, for
example, by
means of hydrolysis or alcoholysis. An amino group protected by 2-haloacetyl,
for
example 2-chloroacetyl, can be freed by treatment with thiourea in the
presence of a base,
or with a thiolate salt, such as an alkali metal thiolate of thiourea, and
subsequent
solvolysis, such as alcoholysis or hydrolysis, of the resulting substitution
product; and
amino is freed from trifluoroacetylamino, for example, by hydrogenolysis with
bases, such
as alkali metal hydroxides or carbonates, such as Na2C03 or K~C03, in polar
solvents, for
example alcohols, such as methanol, at temperatures of from 0 to 100°C,
especially at
from ~0 to 80°C. An amino group protected by 2-(tri-substituted silyl)-
lower alkoxy-
carbonyl, such as 2-tri-lower alkylsilyl-lower alkoxycarbonyl, can also be
converted into
the free amino group by treatment with a salt of hydrofluoric acid that yields
fluoride
anions as indicated above in connection with the freeing of a correspondingly
protected
carboxy group. Likewise, silyl bonded directly to a hetero atom, such as
nitrogen, such as
trimethylsilyl, can be removed using fluoride ions.

When several protected functional groups are present, if desired the
protecting groups can
be so selected that more than one such group can be removed simultaneously,
for example
by acidolysis, such as by treatment with trifluoroacetic acid, or with
hydrogen and a
hydrogenation catalyst, such as a palladium-on-carbon catalyst. Conversely,
the groups
can also be so selected that they cannot all be removed simultaneously, but
rather in a
desired sequence, the corresponding intermediates being obtained.
Additional Process Steps
In the additional process steps, which are optional, functional groups of the
starting
compounds that are not to take part in the reaction may be in unprotected or
protected
form, for example may be protected by one or mare of the protecting groups
mentioned
above under Pxocess a). The protecting groups may be retained in the end
products or
some or all of them may be removed according to one of the methods mentioned
under
Process f).
Salts of compounds of formula I having at least one salt-forming group may be
prepared in
a manner known per se. For example salts of compounds of formula I having acid
groups
may be formed, for example, by treating the compounds with metal compounds,
such as
alkali metal salts of suitable organic carboxylic acids, e.g. the sodium salt
of 2-ethyl-
hexanoic acid, with organic alkali metal or alkaline earth metal compounds,
such as the
corresponding hydroxides, carbonates or hydrogen carbonates, such as sodium or
potassium hydroxide, carbonate or hydrogen carbonate, with corresponding
calcium
compounds or with ammonia or a suitable organic amine, stoichiometric amounts
or only
a small excess of the salt-forming agent preferably being used. Acid addition
salts of
compounds of formula I are obtained in customary manner, e.g. by treating the
compounds
with an acid or a suitable anion exchange reagent. Internal salts of compounds
of formula I
comprising acid and basic salt-forming groups, e.g. a free carboxy group and a
free amino
group, may be formed, e.g. by the neutralisation of salts, such as acid
addition salts, to the
isoelectric point, e.g. with weak bases, or by treatment with ion exchangers.
Salts can be converted in customary manner into the free compounds; metal and
ammonium salts can be converted,,for example, by treatment with suitable
acids, and acid

addition salts, for example, by treatment with a suitable basic agent.
Stereoisomeric mixtures, that is mixtures'of diastereoisomers and/or
enantiomers, such as,
for example, racemic mixtures, can be separated in a manner known Qer se by
suitable
separating processes into the corresponding isomers. For example mixtures of
diastereo-
isomers can be separated into the individual diastereoisomers by fractional
crystallisation,
chromatography, solvent partition etc. Racemates can be separated from one
another, after
conversion of the optical antipodes into diastereoisomers for example by
reaction with
optically active compounds, e.g. optically active acids or bases, by
chromatography on
column materials covered with optically active compounds or by enzymatic
methods, e.g.
by selective reaction of only one of the two enantiomers. This separation can
be carried
out either at the stage of one of the starting products or with the compounds
of formula I
themselves.
T'he configuration at individual chirality centres in a compound of formula I
can be select-
ively revexsed. For example the configuration of asymmetric carbon atoms that
carry
nucleophilic substituents, such as amino or hydroxy, can be reversed by second-
order
nucleophilic substitution, optionally after conversion of the bonded
nucleophilic substit-
uent into a suitable nucleofugal leaving group and reaction with a reagent
that introduces
the original substituent, or the configuration at carbon atoms having hydroxy
groups, such
as the RS-carrying carbon atom of formula I, can be reversed by oxidation and
reduction of
compounds of formula I as described below.
The radicals hydroxy RS and hydrogen R6 in a compound of formula I can be
oxidised to
an oxo group, the oxidising agents used preferably being those that
selectively convert the
hydroxy group into a keto group, for example chromic acid or a derivative
thereof, such as
pyridinium chromate or tart-butyl chromate, dichromate/sulfuric acid, sulfur
trioxide in
the presence of heterocyclic bases, such as pyridine/S03, also nitric acid,
pyrolusite or
selenium dioxide, or dimethyl sulfoxide in the presence of oxalyl chloride, in
water,
aqueous or organic solvents, such as halogenated solvents, e.g. methylene
chloride, car-
boxylic acid amides, such as dimethylformamide, or di-lower alkyl sulfoxides,
such as
dimethyl sulfoxide, in the presence or absence of basic amines, e.g. tri-lower
alkylamines,
such as triethylamine, at temperatures of from -50 to 100°C, preferably
from -10 to 50°C,
for example as described in European Patent Application EP-A-0 236 734.
Conversely, in compounds of formula I obtained in that manner in which R5 and
R6

- 117
together form an oxo group, the oxo group cart be reduced to a hydroxy group.
Suitable
reducing agents for reducing the o:xc> group in a compound of formula 1 are
those that
under the reaction conditions of the process reduce an isolated keto group
selectively or
more quickly than amide groups present irx compounds of formula 1.
There may be mentioned, especially, suitable borohydrides, such as alkali
metal boro-
hydrides, especially sodium borohydride, lithium borohydride or sodium
cyanoboro-
hydride, also zinc borahydride, or suitable aluminium hydrides, such a:~
alkali metal lower
alkoxyaluminium hydrides having voluminous radicals, e.g. lithium tri-tart-
butoxyalumin-
ium hydride.
The reduction can also be carried out with hydrogen in the presence of
suitable heavy
~r~t
metal catalysts, e.g. Raney nickel or platinum or palladium catalysts, e.g.
platinum/- or
palladium/activated carbon, or according to hrleerwein-Ponndorf-Verley with
the aid of
aluminium alkanolates, preferably aluminium-2-propanolate or ethanolate.
'The reduction can preferably be carried out with staichiometric amounts or an
expediently
measured excess of the reducing agent in an inert solvent at temperatures of
from -80°C to
the boiling point of the solvent, e.g. from -"~t~°C to tl~°C, if
necessary under a protective
gas, e.g. nitrogen or argon. An excess of the reducing agent is necessary
especially when it
reacts also with the solvent, e.g. the protons of a erotic solvent.
'JVhen sodium borohydride is used, polar erotic solvents are suitable, e.g.
methanol,
ethanol or isopropanol; when the other reducing agents are used, polar aprotic
solvents are
suitable, e.g. tetrahydrofuran.
In a compound of formula I in which R1, R2, Rg and Rc~ contain no aryl
radicals or arrrl
radicals that are not very reactive, an arrrl radical present in R~, R3 and/or
R4, especially a
phenyl radical, can be hydrogenated for exarl~ple by catalytic
lay~lrogenation, especiall!r in
the presence of heavy metal oxides, such as rltcxliumiplatinum rn~xed oxides,
e;.g. with the
1'Jishimura catalyst, preferably in a iaolar solvent, such ;as m alcohol, e.g.
methanol or
ethanol, at temperatures of from 0 to 81~°C, especially frt>m 10 to
40°C, ,and at a hydrogen
pressure of from 1 to 10 atm, preferably at approximately nc~~-mal pressure.
In an obtainable compound of formula I an amino or carboxamide group may be
substi
tuted, a carboxy group that is free or in reactive farm may be e;~t~rified or
amidated, or an




~o~~~~~
-11S-
esterified or aanidated carboxy group may be converted into a free carboxy
group.
The substitution of a carboxamide group or of another primary ar secondary
amino group,
e.g. in order to introduce radicals~such as unsubstituted or substituted
alkyl, alkenyl or
alkynyl, aryl-lower alkyl, or heterocyciyl or heterocyclyl-lower alkyl bonded
by carbon
R1, R2, Rg or R9 into compounds of formula I in which one or more of the
mentioned
radicals are hydrogen, is effected e.g. by alkylation.
Suitable agents for alkylating a carboxamide group in a compound of formula I
are e.g.
diazo compounds, e.g. diazomethane. Diazomethane can be decomposed in an inert
solvent, the free methylene formed reacting with the carboxamide group in the
compound
of formula I. The decomposition of diazomethane is carried out preferably by
catalysis,
e.g. in the presence of a noble metal in finely divided form, e.g. copper, or
of a noble
metal salt, e.g. copper(I) chloride or copper(II) sulfate.
Alkylating agents are also mentioned in German Offenlegungsschrift 2 331 133,
e.g. alkyl
halides, sulfonic acid esters, Meerwein salts or 1-substituted 3-
aryltriazenes, which can be
reacted under the conditions mentioned therein with a. compound of formula I
having a
carboxamide group.
Further alkylating agents are selected from compounds of formulae
R 1-X (X),


R2-X (XI)9


Rg-X (XIII) and


R9-X (XIV),


wherein X is a leaving group and the remaining radicals are as defined, with
the exception
of acyl, sulfo unsubstituted or substituted as above, phosphono, and
phosphoryl substituted
as above. A leaving group is especially a nucleofugal leaving group selected
from hydraxy
esterified by a strong inorganic or organic acid, such as hydroxy esterified
by a mineral
acid, e.g. a hydrohalic acid, such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic or hydriodic
acid, or by a
strong organic sulfonic acid, such as an unsubstituted or substituted, for
example halo-sub-
stituted, such as fluoro-substituted, lower alkanesulfonic acid, or an
aromatic sulfonic
acid, e.g. a benzenesulfonic acid that is unsubstituted or substituted by
lower alkyl, such as
methyl, by halogen, such as bromine, and/or by nitro, e.g. a methanesulfonic,
trimethane-
sulfonic or p-toluenesulfonic acid, and hydroxy esterified by hydrazoic acid.

The reaction can be carried out under the conditions of a first-order or
second-order
nucleophilic substitution.
For example, one of the compou~lds of formulae VIII to XIII wherein X is a
leaving group
with high polarisability of the electron shell, e.g. iodine, can be reacted in
a polar aprotic
solvent, e.g. acetone, acetonitrile, nitromethane, dimethyl sulfoxide or
dimethylform-
amide. The reaction may also becarried out in water to which, where
appropriate, an
organic solvent, e.g. ethanol, tetrahydrofuran or acetone, has been added as
solubiliser.
The substitution reaction is tamed out if desired at reduced or elevated
temperature, e.g.
in a temperature range of from approximately -40° to approximately
100°C, preferably
from approximately -10° to approximately 50°C, and if desired
under an inert gas, e.g.
under a nitrogen or argon atmosphere.
For the esterification or amidation of a carboxy group in a compound of
formula I, if
desired the free acid can be used or the free acid can be converted into one
of the above-
mentioned reactive derivatives and reacted with an alcohol, with ammonia, or
with a
primary or secondary amine, or, in the case of esterification, the free acid
or a reactive
salt, e.g. the caesium salt, can be reacted with a reactive derivative of an
alcohol. For
example the caesium salt of a carboxylic acid can be reacted with a halide or
sulfonic acid
ester corresponding to the alcohol. The esterification of the carboxy group
can also be
carried out with other customary alkylating agents, e.g. with diazomethane,
alkyl halides,
sulfonic acid esters, Meerwein salts or 1-substituted 3-aryltriazenes, etc..
One of the methods described above for the removal of the carboxy-protecting
groups or,
if desired, m alkaline hydrolysis in accordance with customary reaction
conditions, such
as those specified in Organikum, 17th edition, VEB Deutscher Verlag der
Wissenschaften,
Bexlin 1988, can be used to convert an esterified or amidated carboxy group
into the free
carboxy group.
An esterified carboxy group in a compound of formula I can be canverted by
aminolysis
with ammonia or with a primary or secondary amine into an unsubstituted or
substituted
carboxamide group. The aminolysis can be carried out according to customary
reaction
conditions, such as those specified for such reactions in Organikum, 15th
edition, VEB
Deutscher Verlag der Wissenschaften, Berlin (East) 1976.
A free amino group present in a compound of formula I can be acylated, for
example to




2o~z~~~
120 -
introduce one of the radicals acyl, sulfo, substituted sulfonyl, phosphono or
substituted
phosphoryl mentioned for R1, R2, Rg or R9 . The acylation is carried out
according to one
of the methods mentioned above under Process b), c) or d) for condensation or
according
to one of the methods mentioned'for protecting groups or, for example,
according to one
of the processes mentioned in flrganikum, 17th edition, VEB Deutscher Verlag
der
Wissenschaften, Berlin (East) 1988.
In an obtainable compound of formula I wherein the substituents are as defined
and at
least one free hydroxy group is present and the remaining functional groups
are in pro-
tected form, the free hydroxy group can be acylated or etherified.
The acylation can be carried out with acylating reagents according to one of
the methods
mentioned under Processes b) to d), according to one of the methods mentioned
for
protecting groups, or according to one of the processes mentioned in
Organikum, 17th
edition, VEB Deutscher Verlag der Wissenschaften, Berlin (East) 1988.
The etherification can be carried out with the above-mentioned alkylating
agents and
under the same reaction conditions, e.g. with diazomethane, alkyl halides,
sulfonic acid
esters, Meerwein salts, 1-substituted 3-aryltriazenes, etc.,
In an obtainable compound of formula I a sulfinyl or sulfonyl group can be
produced from
a thio gxoup, and the corresponding sulfoxide or sulfone from a sulfide, by
oxidation.
The oxidation to the sulfonyl group or to the sulfone can be carried out with
most of the
customary oxidising agents. The oxidising agents used are especially
preferably those that .
oxidise the thio group or the sulfide sulfur selectively in the presence of
other functional
groups of the compound of formula I in question, e.g. amino or hydroxy groups;
examples
of SLICK oxidising agents are aromatic or aliphatic peroxycarboxylic acids,
e.g. peroxy-
benzoic acid, monoperphthalic acid, m-chloroperbenzoic acid, peracetic acid,
performic
acid or trifluoroperacetic acid. The oxidation with peroxycarboxylic acids is
carried out in
the customary solvents suitable therefor, for example chlorinated
hydrocarbons, e.g.
methylene chloride or chloroform, ethers, such as diethyl ether, esters, such
as ethyl
acetate or the like, at temperatures of from -78°C to room temperature,
e.g. from -20°C to
+10°C, preferably about 0°C. The peroxycarboxylic acid can also
be formed in situ, e.g.
with hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid or formic acid that may or may not
contain acetic
anhydride, e.g. with 30 % or 90 % hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid/acetic
anhydride. Also




- 121 -
suitable are other peroxo compounds, for example potassium peroxomonosulfate
in lower
alkanol/water mixtures, e.g. methanol/water or ethanol/water, or in aqueous
acetic acid at
temperatures of from -70°C to +30°C, e.g. from -20°C to
room temperature, and also
sodium metaperiodate in methanol or methanol/water mixtures at temperatures of
from
0°C to 50°C, e.g. approximately room temperature. If
stoichiometric amounts of the men-
tioned oxidising agents are used it is also possible for the corresponding
sulfuric acids or
sulfoxides to be obtained. There are suitable for that purpose, for example,
sodium mete-
periodate in methanol or methanol/water mixtures at temperatures of from -
15°C to room
temperature, e.g. approximately 0°C, m-chloroperbenzoic acid in
methylene chloride,
chloroform or ethyl acetate at temperatures of from -78°C to
10°C, preferably from -30°C
to 0°C, also tert-butylhypochlorite in lower alkanols, e.g. methanol,
or hydrogen peroxide
in acetone or acetic acid at temperatures of approximately 0°C, or the
above-mentioned
potassium peroxomonosulfate at low temperatures.
If desired, the corresponding thio compound or the corresponding sulfide can
be obtained
by reducing a sulfonyl group or a sulfone radical in an obtainable compound of
formula I,
for example with diisobutylaluminium hydride in ether or tetrahydrofuxan.
In an obtainable compound of formula I having a sulfinyl group, that group can
be reduced
to a thio group. Selective reducing agents that leave other functional groups
of the
compound of formula I, e.g. the amide function, unchanged are preferred.
Examples of
such selective reducing agents are dichloroborane, which is preferably used in
tetrahydro-
furan or dimethoxyethane at temperatures of from -30°C to +10°C,
triphenylphosphine in
boiling carbon tetrachloride, trichlorosilane or hexachlorodisilane, iron
pentacarbonyl,
also sodium hydrogen sulfite in aqueous/alcoholic solvents, e.g.
water/methanol, water/-
ethanol or also water/tetrahydrofuran, at temperatures of from -10°C to
+50°C, also
sodium borohydride in the presence of cobalt(II) chloride or also hydrogen in
the presence
of catalytic amounts of palladium, e.g. palladium/carbon in boiling ethanol.
Protecting groups present in a compound of formula I or suitable radicals Rl,
R2, R8 or
R9, i.e. those representing aryl, sulfo, substituted sulfo, phosphono or
substituted phos-
phoryl, can be removed according to one of the processes mentioned under
Process f),
especially by hydrolysis, for example in the presence; of bases, such as
alkali or alkaline
earth metal hydroxides, e.g. sodium hydroxide, or acids, such as organic acids
or mineral
acids, e.g. hydrogen halide, such as hydrogen chloride. The hydrolysis is
carried out under
customary conditions, for example in aqueous solution or in anhydrous
solvents,




2~'~27~5
- 122 -
especially in ethers, such as dioxane, at temperatures of from -50°C to
the reflux temp-
erature of the Corresponding reaction mixtures, e.g. from 0°C to
50°C, preferably in the
presence of a protective gas, such as argon or nitrogen.
All of the process steps specified above can be carried out under reaction
conditions that
are known her se, preferably those specifically mentioned, in the absence or
customarily in
the presence of solvents or diluents, preferably those that are inert towards
and dissolve
the reagents used, in the absence or presence of catalysts, condensation
agents or neutral-
ising agents, e.g. ion exchangers, such as ration exchangers, e.g. in the H~
form, depend-
ing on the nature of the reaction and/or the reactants at reduced, normal or
elevated temp-
erature, e.g. in a temperature range of from approximately -100°C to
approximately
190°C, preferably from approximately -80°C to approximately
150°C, e.g. at from -80 to
-50°C, at room temperature, at from -20 to 40°C or at the
boiling point of the solvent used,
under atmospheric pressure or in a closed vessel, if desired under pressure,
and/or under
an inert atmosphere, e.g. under an argon or nitrogen atmosphere.
In the case of all starting compounds and intermediates where there are
salt~forming
groups, salts may be present. Salts may also be present during the reaction of
such
compounds, provided they do not interfere in the reaction.
At all stages of the reaction, isomeric mixtures that are obtained can be
sepazated into the
individual isomers, e.g. diastereoisomers or enantiomers, or into any mixtures
of isomers,
e.g. racemates or diastereoisomeric mixtures, for example analogously to the
methods
described under "Additional I9rocess Steps".
In certain cases, for example in the case of hydrogenation, it is possible to
achieve stereo-
selective reactions, so that e.g. simplified production of individual isomers
is possible.
The solvents from which those suitable for the reaction in question can be
selected
include, for example, water, esters, such as lower alkyl lower alkanoates,
e.g. diethyl
acetate, ethers, such as aliphatic ethers, e.g. diethyl ether, or cyclic
ethers, e.g. tetrahydro-
furan, liquid aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene or toluene, alcohols,
such as
methanol, ethanol or 1- or 2-propanol, nitrites, such as acetonitrile,
halogenated hydro-
carbons, such as methylene chloride, acid amides, such as dimethylformamide,
bases, such
as heterocyclic nitrogen bases, e.g. pyridine, carboxylic acid anhydrides,
such as lower
alkanoic acid anhydrides, e.g. acetic anhydride, cyclic, linear or branched
hydrocarbons,




- 123 -
such as cyclohexane, hexane or isopentane, or mixtures of those solvents, e.g.
aqueous
solutions, provided nothing else is specified in the description of the
process. Such solvent
mixtures can also be used in working up, for example by chromatography or
partitioning.
The invention relates also to those embodiments of the process in which a
compound
obtainable at any stage as intermediate is used as starting material and the
remaining steps
are carried out, or the process is discontinued at any stage, or a starting
material is formed
under the reaction conditions or is used in the foam of a reactive derivative
or salt, or in
which a compound obtainable according to the process of the invention is
produced under
the process conditions and further processed in situ. The starting materials
used are pref
erably those that result in the compounds referred to above as preferred,
especially those
referred to as especially preferred, more especially preferred and/or
preferred above all.

compounds
of formula XVI, or with complex hydrides, such as sodium borohydride. The

conditions for the
oxidation of compounds of formula I in which RS is hydroxy and R6 is hydrogen
to
compounds of formula I in which R5 and R6 together are oxo, as described in
the addi-
tional process steps, or by oxidation of the hydroxy group with a sulfoxide,
such as

carbon, such as dichloromethane, and/or an acyclic or cyclic ether, such as
tetrahydro-
furan; at from -80 to 0°C, e.g. from -78 to -50°C.
