Abstract

Abstract A process for the preparation of compounds of formula (I), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof: ##STR1## wherein R 1 is hydrogen or CH 2 OH; R 2 is hydrogen or, (when R 1 is hydrogen), hydroxy or CH 2 OH; R 3 is CH 2 OH or, (when R 1 and R 2 are both hydrogen), CH(OH)CH 2 OH; R 4 is hydrogen, hydroxy, amino or OR 5 wherein R 5 is C 1-6 alkyl, phenyl or phenyl C 1-2 alkyl either of which phenyl moieties may be substituted by one or two halo, C 1-4 alkyl or C 1-4 alkoxy groups; and in which any OH groups in R 1 , R 2 and/or R 3 may be in the form of O-acyl, phosphate, cyclic acetal or cyclic carbonate derivatives thereof; which process comprises the reaction of a compound of formula (II): ##STR2## wherein R 4 ' is R 4 or a group or atom convertible thereto and R x is amino or protected amino; with a compound of formula (III): R.sub.3 'CHR.sub.2 'CHR.sub.1 'Q (III) wherein Q is a leaving group and R 1 ', R 2 ' and R 3 ' are R 1 , R 2 and R 3 respectively or R 1 , R 2 and/or R 3 wherein the OH group(s) is/are in protected form; and thereafter converting R 4 ' when other than R 4 , to an R 4 moiety or converting R 4 ' when R 4 to other R 4 ; if necessary converting R 1 ', R 2 ' or R 3 ' to R 1 , R 1 and R 3 respectively and optionally forming a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, O-acyl, phosphate, cyclic acetal or cyclic carbonate derivative thereof.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 324 words
A process for the preparation of compounds of formula (I), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof: ##STR9## wherein R 1 is hydrogen or CH 2 OH; R 2 is hydrogen or, (when R 1 is hydrogen), hydroxy or CH 2 OH; R 3 is CH 2 OH or, (when R 1 and R 2 are both hydrogen), CH(OH)CH 2 OH; R 4 is hydrogen, hydroxy, amino or OR 5 wherein R 5 is C 1-6 alkyl, phenyl or phenyl C 1-2 alkyl either of which phenyl moieties may be substituted by one or two halo, C 1-4 alkyl or C 1-4 alkoxy groups; and in which any OH groups in R 1 , R 2 and/or R 3 may be in the form of, C 1-7 alkanoyl and benzoyl optionally substituted by one or two C 1-4 alkyl, C 1-4 alkoxy, halogen or CF 3 groups, phosphate, --O--C(C 1-3 alkyl) 2 --O--, or --O--CO--O-- derivatives thereof; which process comprises the reaction of a compound of formula (II): ##STR10## wherein R 4 ' is R 4 or a group or atom convertible thereto and R x is amino or protected amino; with a compound of formula (III): R.sub.3 'CHR.sub.2 'CHR.sub.1 'Q (III) wherein Q is a leaving group and R 1 ', R 2 ' and R 3 ' are R 1 , R 2 and R 3 respectively, one or more of which may have a protected OH group; and thereafter treating R 4 ' in a conventional manner to convert R 4 ' to R 4 or, if R 4 ' is R 4 , to convert R 4 ' to another R 4 ; and, if necessary, treating R 1 ', R 2 ' or R 3 ' to form R 1 , R 2 and R 3 , respectively, and optionally forming a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, phosphate, carboxylic ester, --O--C(C 1-3 alkyl) 2 --O--, or --O--CO--O-- derivative thereof, according to conventional methods.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 324 words
A process for the preparation of compounds of formula (I), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof: ##STR9## wherein R 1 is hydrogen or CH 2 OH; R 2 is hydrogen or, (when R 1 is hydrogen), hydroxy or CH 2 OH; R 3 is CH 2 OH or, (when R 1 and R 2 are both hydrogen), CH(OH)CH 2 OH; R 4 is hydrogen, hydroxy, amino or OR 5 wherein R 5 is C 1-6 alkyl, phenyl or phenyl C 1-2 alkyl either of which phenyl moieties may be substituted by one or two halo, C 1-4 alkyl or C 1-4 alkoxy groups; and in which any OH groups in R 1 , R 2 and/or R 3 may be in the form of, C 1-7 alkanoyl and benzoyl optionally substituted by one or two C 1-4 alkyl, C 1-4 alkoxy, halogen or CF 3 groups, phosphate, --O--C(C 1-3 alkyl) 2 --O--, or --O--CO--O-- derivatives thereof; which process comprises the reaction of a compound of formula (II): ##STR10## wherein R 4 ' is R 4 or a group or atom convertible thereto and R x is amino or protected amino; with a compound of formula (III): R.sub.3 'CHR.sub.2 'CHR.sub.1 'Q (III) wherein Q is a leaving group and R 1 ', R 2 ' and R 3 ' are R 1 , R 2 and R 3 respectively, one or more of which may have a protected OH group; and thereafter treating R 4 ' in a conventional manner to convert R 4 ' to R 4 or, if R 4 ' is R 4 , to convert R 4 ' to another R 4 ; and, if necessary, treating R 1 ', R 2 ' or R 3 ' to form R 1 , R 2 and R 3 , respectively, and optionally forming a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, phosphate, carboxylic ester, --O--C(C 1-3 alkyl) 2 --O--, or --O--CO--O-- derivative thereof, according to conventional methods.
