Abstract: A process is provided for preparing spiro-hydantoin compounds of the formula II wherein Z is N or CR4b; K and L are independently O or S; Ar is an optionally substituted aryl or heteroaryl; A2 is a linker, G? is a linker; Q is a linker; and R2, R4a, R4c, and Rh are defined in the specification. The process optionally includes the enantiomeric separation of intermediates to allow preparation of enantiomers of the spiro-hydantoin compounds of formula II. Substituted spiro-hydantoin compounds may be prepared from the spiro-hydantoin compounds of formula II. The spiro-hydantoin compound of formula II and the substituted spiro-hydantoin compounds are useful in the treatment of immune or inflammatory diseases. Also, provided are products made by the instant inventive process and crystalline forms (prepared by any process) of the substituted spiro-hydantoin compound, 5-[(5S,9R)-9-(4-Cyanophenyl)-3-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-1-methyl-2,4-dioxo-1,3,7-triazaspiro[4.

Abstract: A novel process for the asymmetric synthesis of an amino-pyrrolidinone of the type shown below from appropriate pyrrolidinones is described.

Abstract: The present invention concerns an improved process for the preparation of asymmetric cyclic ureas as well as intermediates in the preparation of asymmetric cyclic ureas. In the process, a diamine of formula (I-a) is selectively monoacylated to give an asymmetric monoacylated diamine which can be converted into asymmetric intermediates. The asymmetric intermediates can be further alkylated, cyclized, and/or modified to give compounds which are useful as HIV protease inhibitors for the treatment of HIV infection. The invention allows for scalable preparation of a wide variety of asymmetrical cyclic ureas.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of asymmetric cyclic ureas of Formula (VI) starting from the diamine of Formula (I).

Abstract: This invention provides improved synthetic processes for the preparation of hydroxy-protected cyclic urea compounds of Formula (IX), ##STR1## which are useful as intermediates for the preparation of cyclic urea human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protease inhibitors, from N-protected aminoaldehydes. The processes of the present invention provide high yields, can be conducted on multikilogram scale, and eliminate the need for chromatographic purification of intermediates or final product.
