  • Publication number: 20120035196
    Abstract: [Problem] The present invention has an object to provide a compound having a GPR40 agonistic activity, which is useful as a pharmaceutical composition, an insulin secretion promoter, or an agent for preventing/treating diabetes. [Means for Solution] The present inventors have extensively studied a compound having a GPR40 agonistic activity, and as a result, they have found that the compound (I) of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in which a carboxylic acid is bonded to a bicyclic or tricyclic moiety through methylene, and further, a benzene ring substituted with a monocyclic 6-membered aromatic ring is bonded to a bicyclic or tricyclic moiety through —O-methylene or —NH-methylene, has an excellent GPR40 agonistic activity. They have also found that the compound has an excellent insulin secretion promoting action and strongly inhibits increase in the blood glucose after glucose loading, thereby completing the present invention.

  • Publication number: 20110288315
    Abstract: A 2-aryl-2-halomethyl-4-chloromethyl-1,3-dioxolane (A) can be produced conveniently without decreasing its optical purity by reacting an optically active monochlorohydrin and an aryl (halomethyl) ketone (starting materials) with each other in the presence of an acid catalyst. From the optically active compound (A) thus produced, an optically active carboxylic acid (2-aryl-2-halomethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl ester and an optically active sulfonic acid (2-aryl-2-halomethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl ester (both of which are useful intermediates for the production of ketoconazole) can be produced with good efficiency. An optically active trans-carboxylic acid (2-aryl-2-halomethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl ester can be isomerized into its cis-form in the presence of an acid catalyst.
