Abstract:
The invention relates to a new process for producing NEP inhibitors or prodrugs thereof, in particular NEP inhibitors comprising a γ-amino-δ-biphenyl-α-methylalkanoic acid, or acid ester, backbone. In detail, the new processes, according to the present invention, are ultimately related to the synthesis of intermediates to prepare the above NEP inhibitors, namely compounds according to formula (1), or salt thereof, wherein R1 and R2 are, independently of each other, hydrogen or a nitrogen protecting group, and R3 is a carboxyl group or an ester group, preferably carboxyl group or alkyl ester.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a process for the manufacture of 3,7-dimethyl-1-octen-3-ol comprising the following steps: a) hydrogenation of 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-on to 6-methyl-2-heptanon in the presence of hydrogen and a palladium containing catalyst on a carrier selected from the group consisting of carbon, calcium carbonate and aluminum oxide. b) reaction of 6-methyl-2-heptanon with acetylene to 3,7-dimethyl-1-octin-3-ol in the presence of ammonia and potassium hydroxide and in the absence of any additional organic solvent; c) hydrogenation of 3,7-dimethyl-1-octin-3-ol to 3,7-dimethyl-1-octen-3-ol in the presence of hydrogen and a palladium containing catalyst on a carrier selected from the group consisting of calcium carbonate, aluminum oxide, silica, porous glass, carbon or graphite, and barium sulphate, with the proviso that the catalyst additionally contains lead when the carrier is calcium carbonate. The present invention is further directed to a process for the manufacture of isophytol and vitamin E, where a thus produced 3,7-dimethyl-1-octen-3-ol is used as starting material.

Abstract:
A diamine of formula (I) is described, in which A is hydrogen or a saturated or unsaturated C1-C20 alkyl group or an aryl group; B is a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C20 alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkaryl, alkaryl or aryl group or an alkylamino group and at least one of X1, X2, Y1, Y2 or Z is a C1-C10 alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkaryl, aralkyl or alkoxy substituting group. The chiral diamine may be used to prepare catalysts suitable for use in transfer hydrogenation reactions.

Abstract:
The present invention relates in a first aspect to a process for hydrogenation of ketones having at least a carbon-carbon double bond in the y,8-position to the keto group by hydrogen in the presence of at least one chiral iridium complex of formula (I), where R1 represents a group of formula (II) or (III) or (IV). It has been shown that this process leads to a strong increase in preferential formation of a single isomer. The process is particularly suitable for the hydrogenation of y,8-unsaturated ketones which can be used as flavours and fragrances or for the preparation of vitamin E and its derivatives or of flavours and fragrances.
