  • Patent number: 5808075
    Abstract: A process for the preparation of a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof wherein R.sub.1 represents (a) in which r represents an integer of 2 to 4, s represents 1 or 2 and t represents 0 or 1; R.sub.2 is a group OR.sub.4, where R.sub.4 is C.sub.1-4 alkyl, C.sub.2-4 alkenyl or C.sub.2-4 alkynyl or a group OCOR.sub.5 where R.sub.5 is hydrogen or R.sub.4 ; and R.sub.3 is CN; said process comprising reacting a compound of formula (II) wherein R.sub.1 ' is R.sub.1 or a group convertible thereto, and R.sub.3 ' is an electron withdrawing group, with a source of nitrous acid, and thereafter converting the resulting .dbd.NOH group to .dbd.NR.sub.2 wherein R.sub.2 is as defined in formula (I), converting R.sub.1 ' and R.sub.3 ' when other than R.sub.1 and R.sub.3 to R.sub.1 and R.sub.3, and thereafter optionally forming a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 12, 1996

  • Patent number: 5773619
    Abstract: A process for the preparation of a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 represents ##STR2## in which r represents an integer of 2 to 4, s represents 1 or 2 and t represents 0 or 1;R.sub.2 is a group OR.sub.4, where R.sub.4 is C.sub.1-4 alkyl, C.sub.2-4 alkenyl or C.sub.2-4 alkynyl or a group OCOR.sub.5 where R.sub.5 is hydrogen or R.sub.4 ; andR.sub.3 is CN;said process comprising reacting a compound of formula (II): ##STR3## wherein R.sub.1 ' is R.sub.1 or a group convertible thereto, and R.sub.3 ' is an electron withdrawing group, with a source of nitrous acid, and thereafter converting the resulting .dbd.NOH group to .dbd.NR.sub.2 wherein R.sub.2 is as defined in formula (I), converting R.sub.1 ' and R.sub.3 ' when other than R.sub.1 and R.sub.3 to R.sub.1 and R.sub.3, and thereafter optionally forming a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.
