  • Patent number: 7002038
    Abstract: A process is described for preparing 3-amino-4,4,4-trifluorocrotonic esters of the formula (I) or the E/Z isomers or tautomeric forms thereof where R1 and R2 are each independently hydrogen, an optionally substituted linear C1–C4-alkyl radical or an optionally substituted benzyl radical and R3 is methyl or ethyl, which comprises a) reacting an alkyl trifluoroacetate with an alkyl acetate of the formula CH3—CO—OR3 and an alkali metal alkoxide to give an enolate of a trifluoroacetoacetic ester of the formula (II) where M is sodium or potassium and R3 is as defined above, and subsequently b) allowing the alkali metal enolate of the trifluoroacetoacetic ester from stage a) to react without further purification directly with an amine of the formula NHR1R2 in the presence of an acid to give the 3-amino-4,4,4-trifluorocrotonic ester. With the aid of this two-stage process, the 3-amino-4,4,4-trifluorocrotonic esters can be prepared in high yields without significant by-products.

  • Patent number: 6562963
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a process for the preparation of a compound of formula (X-a) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt form thereof, wherein: R1 is selected from the group consisting of: C1-5 alkyl substituted with 0-5 R1a, —(CH2)r—C3-10 cycloalkyl substituted with 0-5 R1a, and —(CH2)r-aryl substituted with 0-5 R1a. Compounds of Formula (X-a) are macrocyclic molecules containing anti-succinate residues which inhibit metalloproteinases such as aggrecanase, and the production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF). The anti-succinates are formed by an Ireland Claisen rearrangement of a silyl ketene acetal which proceeds with high stereoselectivity.

  • Patent number: 6486344
    Abstract: The present invention is based on a series of acrylic cross-linking agents containing two or more dehydroalanine moieties (H2C═C(NHCOR′)COOR) per monomer. Monomers of the general structure H2C═C(NHCOCH3)COO(CH2)iOO(CH3CONH) C═CH2 with i=4, 5, and 8 can be polymerized or copolymerized under UV-curing conditions or by simple heating above melting point, leading to cross-linked polymeric materials. When polymerized on metallic surfaces, exceptional adhesion is obtained with no need for additional adhesion enhancers.
