摘要:
A process for the preparation of a penam derivative of formula (I): wherein R A is hydrogen or a group of formula (la): wherein X is -C0 2 R', or S0 3 R'; R is C 1-6 alkyl, aryl, or heterocyclyl; R' is hydrogen, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt-forming ion or ester-forming radical, and R 2 represents hydrogen or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt-forming ion or in vivo hydrolysable ester-forming radical; which process comprises reacting a compound of formula (II): wherein R B is hydrogen, a removable amino blocking group, or a group of formula (Ila): wherein Y is -CO 2 R x or -SO 3 R x ; R is as defined with respect to formula (I) above; R x represents an ester-forming radical, R y represents hydrogen, a salt-forming radical or a carboxyl-blocking group, and R 3 represents an alkyl, benzyl, or aryl group; with methanol in the presence of copper ions; and thereafter if necessary carrying out one or more of the following steps:
(i) removal of any blocking group; (ii) converting the product to a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof.
摘要:
5-(a-Hydroxyphenyl) hydantoin of formula (I): is prepared by reacting phenol, glyoxylic acid and urea in the presence of an acid catalyst in an aqueous medium. The hydantoin may be hydrolysed to produce the amino acid,p-hydroxyphenylglycine, preferably to the D-amino acid, either by selective enzymatic hydrolysis and subsequent chemical hydrolysis, or by alkaline hydrolysis and subsequent resolution.
摘要:
A process for the isolation of a solid salt of p-hydroxymandelic acid, which process comprises reacting phenol with glyoxylic acid in the presence of sodium or potassium hydroxide, acidifying to a pH less than 3, extracting the resulting solution with a water-immiscible solvent to provide a solution of p-hydroxymandelic acid and precipitating the salt therefrom; solid ammonium or substituted ammonium salt of p-hydroxymandelic acid.
