Perhydrothiazepine derivatives, their preparation and their therapeutic use

BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a series of perhydrothiazepine derivatives which have the valuable ability to lower blood pressure and hence which are of potential use in the treatment of humans and other animals suffering from elevated blood pressure.
There is considerable evidence that reduction of elevated blood pressure reduces the risk of morbidity and mortality. Elevated blood pressure (hypertension) can be caused by a variety of factors and a large number of drugs is available for the treatment of hypertension, the drug of choice being dictated in large measure by the cause of the hypertension, as well as the degree of hypertension and the acceptance of the treatment by the patient. One of the known causes of hypertension is the presence in blood plasma of the polypeptide known as angiotensin II, and a reduction in the blood plasma levels of angiotensin II has been shown to reduce hypertension. The first step in the production of angiotensin II in the mammalian body is the conversion of a blood protein, by the enzyme renin to a polypeptide known as "angiotensin I". This angiotensin I is then converted by angiotensin converting enzyme (hereinafter referred to, as is conventional, as "ACE") to angiotensin II. Clearly, this preparative route provides several opportunities for reducing the plasma levels of angiotensin II, for example by inhibiting the activity of renin or of ACE. Certain polypeptides have been found to inhibit the activity of renin and have been proposed for use as hypotensive agents. Recently, it has also been discovered that certain perhydrothiazepine compounds are capable of inhibiting the activity of ACE and similarly have been proposed for use as hypotensive agents.
An advantage of inhibiting the activity of ACE, as compared with inhibiting the activity of renin, is that ACE not only participates in the formation of angiotensin II, but also participates in the metabolism of bradykinin, converting it to an inert substance. Bradykinin is a natural vasodilator and its elimination would thus be a further positive factor in elevated blood pressure.
For example, certain perhydro-1,4-thiazepin-5-one derivatives (as well as their corresponding thiazocine analogs) are disclosed in European Patent Publication No. 68,173; these thiazepine derivatives differ from those of the present invention principally in being unsubstituted at the 2- and 3-positions. There is also a mention of certain 1,4-thiazepine derivatives similar to those of the present invention in European Patent Publication No. 120,728 (published after the priority dates of the present application), but the 1,4-thiazepine derivatives disclosed therein differ from those of the present invention primarily in the nature of the substituent at the 6-position; additionally, those derivatives actually disclosed are unsubstituted at both the 2- and 3-positions.
The compounds of the present invention have the advantage over the prior art compounds of higher activity and a longer duration of activity, in general, than the prior art compounds, especially those of European Patent Publication No. 68,173. The compounds of the invention differ from the prior art compounds in that they possess at the 2- and/or 3-positions a group selected from certain specific groups which have an essentially hydrophobic (or lyophilic) nature. It is believed that the hydrophobic nature of such groups leads to enhanced binding of the compound to ACE (hence inhibiting the activity of ACE to a greater degree) and an increase in fat-solubility (which leads to enhanced retention in the tissues of the mammalian body and delayed excretion). These factors together lead to the expectation that the compounds of the invention will demonstrate a greater ability to lower blood pressure, coupled with a greater duration of activity.
The compounds of the invention are named herein as perhydro-1,4-thiazepine derivatives; an alternative nomenclature sometimes employed is as 1-thia-4-azacycloheptane derivatives.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION
In the compounds of the invention, R.sup.1 may represent an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group or a heterocyclic group.
Where R.sup.1 represents an alkyl group, this may be a straight or branched chain alkyl group which has from 1 to 10, more preferably from 1 to 8, carbon atoms. Examples of such groups include the methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, t-butyl, pentyl, neopentyl, hexyl and octyl groups.
Where R.sup.1 represents a cycloalkyl group, this has from 3 to 8, more preferably from 5 to 7, ring carbon atoms and examples of such groups include the cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl and cycloheptyl groups.
Where R.sup.1 represents an aryl group, this is preferably a carbocyclic aryl group which has from 6 to 10 ring carbon atoms and may comprise a single or multiple (fused) ring system. Preferred examples of such aryl groups include the phenyl, 1-naphthyl and 2-naphthyl groups.
Where R.sup.1 represents a partially hydrogenated carbocyclic aryl group, this is preferably a polycyclic (more preferably bicyclic) system having from 8 to 14, more preferably 9 to 14 and most preferably 9 or 10 ring carbon atoms. In particular, we prefer that it should consist of a fully aromatic ring fused to another ring, of which all carbon atoms other than those at the points of fusion are fully saturated. Accordingly, the most preferred such groups are the indanyl and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthyl groups. We prefer that the group should be attached to the bond or group represented by A via one of the saturated carbon atoms. Accordingly, preferred groups are the 2-indanyl, 1-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthyl) and 2-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthyl) groups.
Where R.sup.1 represents a heterocyclic group, this may be a saturated or unsaturated heterocyclic group and may be monocyclic or polycyclic (preferably bicyclic); it preferably has from 5 to 10 ring atoms, of which from 1 to 5, more preferably from 1 to 3, are hetero-atoms selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur atoms. Examples of such heterocyclic groups include the tetrahydrofuranyl, tetrahydrothienyl, tetrahydropyranyl, morpholinyl, furyl, thienyl, imidazolyl, thiazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, pyridyl, quinolyl, isoquinolyl and indolyl groups.
These groups represented by R.sup.1 may be unsubstituted or may have at least one substituent selected from the following groups:
except where the group represented by R.sup.1 is itself an alkyl group, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6, preferably C.sub.1 -C.sub.4, alkyl groups, for example the methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl and t-butyl groups;
C.sub.6 -C.sub.10 carbocyclic aryl groups, which may be monocyclic or fused polycyclic (preferably bicyclic) groups and which may themselves be substituted as here defined, particularly the phenyl, 1-naphthyl or 2-naphthyl groups;
aralkyl groups in which the alkyl part is C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl and the aryl part is C.sub.6 -C.sub.10 carbocyclic aryl, for example the benzyl, phenethyl, 1-naphthylmethyl, 2-naphthylmethyl and 3-phenylpropyl groups;
the hydroxy group;
C.sub.1 -C.sub.6, preferably C.sub.1 -C.sub.4, alkoxy groups, for example the methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy, butoxy or isobutoxy groups;
aralkyloxy groups, in which the aryl part is C.sub.6 -C.sub.10 carbocyclic aryl, more preferably phenyl, and the alkyl part is C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, more preferably C.sub.1 -C.sub.2 alkyl and most preferably methyl, for example the benzyloxy group;

the amino group;
alkylamino groups in which the alkyl part is C.sub.1 -C.sub.6, more preferably C.sub.1 -C.sub.4, alkyl, for example the methylamino and ethylamino groups;
dialkylamino groups, in which each alkyl part is C.sub.1 -C.sub.6, preferably C.sub.1 -C.sub.4, more preferably C.sub.1 -C.sub.3, alkyl, for example the dimethylamino or diethylamino groups;
acylamino groups, which can be aliphatic acylamino groups, preferably having from 1 to 7, more preferably from 1 to 4, carbon atoms or carbocyclic aromatic carboxylic acylamino groups in which the aromatic part is C.sub.6 -C.sub.10 carbocyclic aryl and is more preferably a phenyl group, for example the acetamido and benzamido groups;
the carbamoyl group;
the alkylcarbamoyl and dialkylcarbamoyl groups, in which the or each alkyl part is C.sub.1 -C.sub.6, more preferably C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 and most preferably C.sub.1 -C.sub.3, alkyl, for example the N-methylcarbamoyl, N-ethylcarbamoyl, dimethylcarbamoyl or diethylcarbamoyl groups;

arylsulfonyl groups in which the aryl part is C.sub.6 -C.sub.10 carbocyclic aryl, more preferably phenyl, for example the benzenesulfonyl group.
Where the group represented by R.sup.1 is substituted, the maximum number of substituents will, of course, depend upon the size of the group to be substituted and the steric effects exerted by the substituents; if the group represented by R.sup.1 is small, for example a lower alkyl group, and the substituent bulky, then steric hindrance may limit the number of potential substituents; at the other extreme, if the substituent is small, the number of substituents may only be limited by the number of available valencies of the atoms in the group represented by R.sup.1. For example, where the substituent is a fluorine or chlorine atom, R.sup.1 could represent a perfluoroalkyl or perchloroalkyl group. However, in general, from 1 to 3 substituents are preferred, although it should be appreciated that more may be appropriate in specific cases, as is well recognized by those skilled in the chemical arts.
Where R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 or R.sup.5 represents an alkyl group, this is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 alkyl group, which may be a straight or branched chain group, more preferably having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms. Examples of such groups include the methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, t-butyl, pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl, hexyl, heptyl and octyl groups.
Where R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 or R.sup.5 represents a cycloalkyl group, this has from 3 to 8, more preferably from 5 to 7, ring carbon atoms and preferred such groups include the cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl and cycloheptyl groups.
Where R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 or R.sup.5 represents an aralkyl group, the alkyl part is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group (examples being those C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl groups included amongst the examples of alkyl groups which may be represented by R.sup.1) and the aryl part is a C.sub.6 -C.sub.10 carbocyclic aryl group (examples of which are those groups given as examples of aryl groups which may be represented by R.sup.1). Preferred aralkyl groups are the benzyl, phenethyl and 3-phenylpropyl groups.
Where R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 or R.sup.5 represents a carbocyclic aryl group, this preferably has from 6 to 10 ring carbon atoms and may be a monocyclic or fused polycyclic (normally bicyclic) group. Preferred examples include the phenyl, 1-naphthyl and 2-naphthyl groups.
Where R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 or R.sup.5 represents a heterocyclic group or an alkyl group having a heterocyclic substituent, the heterocyclic group has from 5 to 10, more preferably from 5 to 8, ring atoms, of which from 1 to 5, more preferably from 1 to 3, are hetero-atoms selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen atoms. The heterocyclic group may be saturated, unsaturated or partially saturated, preferably saturated or unsaturated, and may be monocyclic or fused polycyclic (preferably bicyclic). Examples of such groups include the tetrahydrofuranyl, tetrahydrothienyl, tetrahydropyranyl, morpholinyl, furyl, thienyl, imidazolyl, thiazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, 1,3,4-oxadiazolyl, 1,3,4-thiadiazolyl, pyridyl, quinolyl, isoquinolyl and indolyl groups. Where R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 or R.sup.5 represents an alkyl group having such a heterocyclic substituent, the alkyl group itself is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group (which may be a straight or branched chain group) and examples of such groups are the C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 groups amongst those given as examples of alkyl groups which may be represented by R.sup.1.
Instead of the groups described above, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 or R.sup.5 can represent a hydrogen atom, however, no more than 3 of these symbols may represent hydrogen atoms, in other words there must be at least 1 group other than hydrogen at the 2- or 3-, preferably the 2-, positions. Those compounds are particularly preferred where R.sup.3 and R.sup.5 both represent hydrogen atoms, whilst one of R.sup.2 and R.sup.4, preferably R.sup.4, also represents a hydrogen atom and the other of R.sup.2 and R.sup.4 represents one of the aforementioned groups.
The groups defined above for R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 may be unsubstituted or may have at least one substituent selected from those substituents defined in (a) above as substituents on the groups represented by R.sup.1. As with R.sup.1, where any group represented by R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 or R.sup.5 is substituted, the number of substituents is only limited by steric considerations, which, of course, vary depending upon the nature of the substituent and the substituted groups and so cannot be defined in general terms. Normally, however, it is convenient, where such groups are substituted, to have from 1 to 3 substituents, but it should be appreciated that this does not, in any sense, represent a practical limit.
As an alternative, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 and/or R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 or R.sup.2 and R.sup.4 may together form a saturated carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring having from 3 to 6 ring atoms or they may together form a saturated carbocyclic ring having 5 or 6 ring atoms, the saturated carbocyclic ring being fused with a C.sub.6 -C.sub.10 carbocyclic aryl system. Examples of such groups include the cyclopropane, cyclopentane, cyclohexane, tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydropyran, tetrahydrothiophene, pyrrolidine, piperidine, indane and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene groups.
The symbol A can represent a direct single bond between the group represented by R.sup.1 and the carbon atom of the group CH--NH-- at the 6-position of the thiazepine ring; alternatively, it can represent a methylene group, an ethylene group, an oxymethyl (--OCH.sub.2 --) group or a thiomethyl (--SCH.sub.2 --) group. We prefer that A should represent an ethylene group and more particularly prefer that the group represented by R.sup.1 --A should be:
a straight or branched chain alkyl group having from 4 to 9 carbon atoms, for example a butyl, isobutyl, pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl, hexyl, octyl, isooctyl or nonyl group;
a 2-cycloalkylethyl group, in which the cycloalkyl part has 5 or 6 ring carbon atoms, for example a 2-cyclopentylethyl or 2-cyclohexylethyl group;
an aralkyl group having a total of from 7 to 12 carbon atoms, for example a benzyl, phenethyl, 1-naphthylmethyl, 2-naphthylmethyl, 2-(1-naphthyl)ethyl or 2-(2-naphthyl)ethyl group;
a phenoxymethyl or phenylthiomethyl group; or
a heterocyclic-substituted ethyl group, for example a 2-(2-thienyl)ethyl, 2-(2-imidazolyl)ethyl or 2-(2-thiazolyl)ethyl group.
n may be 0, 1 or 2, but is most preferably 0.
B may represent a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkylene or alkylidene group or a C.sub.3 -C.sub.6 cycloalkylene or cycloalkylidene group. Examples of such alkylene groups which may be represented by B are the methylene, ethylene, trimethylene and tetramethylene groups. Where B represents an alkylidene group, this may be an ethylidene, propylidene or butylidene group, preferably an ethylidene group. Where B represents a C.sub.3 -C.sub.6 cycloalkylene or cycloalkylidene group, these may be the cyclopropylene, cyclopropylidene, cyclobutylene, cyclobutylidene, cyclopentylene, cyclopentylidene, cyclohexylene or cyclohexylidene groups, preferably the cyclopropylidene group.
The compounds of formula (I) have two free carboxy groups and can thus form mono- or di-esters with appropriate ester-forming groups. There is no practical limitation upon the nature of the ester-forming groups employed in this invention, beyond the practical consideration that, if the resulting compounds are in themselves to be used for the treatment of human beings or other animals, the resulting esters must be "pharmaceutically acceptable"; this, to the skilled man, means that the ester-forming groups must not, or must not to an unacceptable extent, reduce the activity or increase the toxicity of the compounds. Where the resulting compounds are not in themselves to be used as medicines but, instead, are to be used as intermediates in the preparation of other compounds, even this practical restriction does not apply and any ester appropriate to the intended preparative route may be formed.
The resulting compounds of the invention may be represented by the formula (Ia): ##STR3## (wherein R.sup.1 --R.sup.5, A, B and n are as defined above and R.sup.6 and R.sup.7, which are the same or different, each represents a hydrogen atom or a carboxy-protecting, preferably ester-forming, group).

Where substituents are present, their number is only limited by steric considerations, which depend upon the size of the substituent and of the substituted group; however, in general, from 1 to 3 substituents would be present.

Where R.sup.6 or R.sup.7 represents an ester-forming group, these are preferably either carboxy-protecting groups which are commonly used in organic chemical synthesis, such as the t-butyl, methoxymethyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethyl, benzyl, p-methoxybenzyl or benzhydryl groups, or a protecting group which is easily convertible to a free carboxy group in vivo, such as the acetoxymethyl, pivaloylmethyl, 1-(ethoxycarbonyloxy)-ethyl, phthalidyl or (5-methyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxolen-4-yl)-methyl groups.
Where the compounds of the invention contain one or two free carboxy groups, these compounds may also form salts with bases; the nature of the cation of the resulting salt is not critical to the present invention and, where the resulting compounds are for use as medicines, is only limited to the extent that the resulting salt must be pharmaceutically acceptable; where the compound is subsequently to be used as an intermediate for the production of another compound, even this restriction is not applicable. Of course, there are practical constraints, such as cost and availability of the bases used to form the salts, but these constraints vary from time to time and are irrelevant to the essence of the present invention. Examples of suitable salts include: alkali metal salts, for example sodium or potassium salts; alkaline earth metal salts, for example calcium or magnesium salts; ammonium salts; salts with organic bases, for example triethylamine, dicyclohexylamine, cinchonine, guanidine or quinine salts; and salts with basic amino acids, for example lysine or arginine salts.
The compounds of the invention also contain a nitrogen atom which can potentially exert a basic effect and the compounds can thus also form acid addition salts. Where the compounds are to be used as medicines, the nature of such salts is only limited to the extent that the resulting compound should be pharmaceutically acceptable; where the compound is to be used as an intermediate, this criterion does not apply and any acid may be employed. Examples of suitable acids include inorganic acids, such as hydrogen halides, (for example hydrochloric acid or hydrobromic acid), sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid or nitric acid; organic carboxylic acids, for example oxalic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid or citric acid; and organic sulfonic acids, such as methanesulfonic acid or benzenesulfonic acid.

Compounds Nos. 74, 75, 76, 119, 120, 163, 164, 196, 197, 198, 199, 200, and 201-212 inclusive are of particular value in the synthesis of other, biologically more active, compounds.
The compounds of the present invention can contain many asymmetric carbon atoms and can thus exist in the form of many stereoisomers and the present invention envisages both the individual isolated isomers as well as mixtures thereof. The following carbon atoms are asymmetric in all of the compounds of the invention: the carbon atom to which the group represented by R.sup.1 --A-- is attached; the carbon atom at the 6-position of the thiazepine ring; and either or both of the carbon atoms at the 2 and 3 positions of the thiazepine ring. In addition, depending upon the nature of the substituent groups on the compounds of the invention, other carbon atoms may also be asymmetric. The compounds of the invention may be prepared as mixtures of isomers and then separated by conventional techniques or they may be prepared by stereo-specific synthesis techniques, all of which are well-known to those skilled in the art.
The compounds of the present invention can be prepared by the condensation of a compound of formula (II): ##STR4## (in which R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.7, B and n are as defined above) with a compound of formula (III): ##STR5## (in which R.sup.1, R.sup.6 and A are as defined above and X represents a halogen atom or a sulfonyloxy group) or by reductive condensation of the aforementioned compound of formula (II) with a compound of formula (IV): ##STR6## (in which R.sup.1, R.sup.6 and A are as defined above).
In the compound of formula (III), where X represents a halogen atom, this is preferably a chlorine, bromine or iodine atom; where X represents a sulfonyloxy group, this is preferably a substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkanesulfonyloxy group, such as a methanesulfonyloxy, ethanesulfonyloxy or trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy group, or a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic sulfonyloxy group, such as a benzenesulfonyloxy or p-toluenesulfonyloxy group; in the case of the substituted groups, substituents are selected from the group consisting of substituents (a) defined above.
Condensation of the compound of formula (II) with the compound of formula (III) is preferably effected in the presence of a solvent and of a base. The nature of the solvent is not critical, provided that it has no adverse effect upon the reaction; suitable solvents include: aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, such as hexane or benzene; halogenated aliphatic or aromatic, preferably aliphatic, hydrocarbons, such as methylene chloride or 1,2-dichloroethane; ethers, such as tetrahydrofuran or dioxane; esters, such as ethyl acetate; ketones, such as acetone; amides, such as dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide or hexamethylphosphoric triamide; and sulfoxides, such as dimethyl sulfoxide. There is likewise no criticality as to the nature of the base to be employed, provided that it does not adversely affect the reaction. Suitable bases include, for example: alkali metal and alkaline earth metal carbonates, such as sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate or calcium carbonate; alkali metal bicarbonates, such as sodium bicarbonate or potassium bicarbonate; alkali metal hydrides, such as sodium hydride or lithium hydride; or organic bases, such as triethylamine, pyridine, picoline or tetraethylammonium hydroxide. If desired, the reaction may be carried out as a two-phase reaction employing water as the solvent for one phase and a water-immiscible solvent (such as methylene chloride or chloroform) for the other phase; in this case, a phase-transfer catalyst (such as tetrabutylammonium bromide or benzyltriethylammonium iodide) should be employed and the base may be a relatively strong base, such as an alkali metal hydroxide (for example sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide).
The reaction will take place over a wide range of temperatures and the precise temperature chosen is not critical to the present invention; we generally find it convenient to carry out the reaction at a temperature within the range from 0.degree. to 120.degree. C. The time required for the reaction will vary depending upon many factors, but primarily upon the natures of the solvent, base and reagents, and upon the reaction temperature, but a period of from 1 hour to 3 days will normally suffice.
After completion of the reaction, the desired compound may be obtained from the reaction mixture by conventional means. For example, one suitable recovery technique comprises: adding an organic solvent, such as ethyl acetate, to the reaction mixture; separating the organic layer and washing it with water; drying the organic layer; and distilling off the solvent to give the desired product. If necessary, this product can be further purified by various conventional techniques, such as recrystallization and/or the chromatography techniques, particularly column chromatography.
Reaction of the compound of formula (II) with the compound of formula (IV) takes place under reductive condensation conditions. The reductive conditions may be provided by a variety of means, for example: catalytic reduction using a metal, such as platinum, palladium, Raney nickel or rhodium, optionally on a carrier, in the presence of hydrogen; reduction with a metal hydride, such as lithium aluminum hydride, lithium borohydride, lithium cyanoborohydride, sodium cyanoborohydride, sodium borohydride or potassium borohydride; reduction with an active metal, such as sodium or magnesium, together with an alcohol, such as methanol or ethanol; or reduction with a metal, such as iron or zinc, and an acid, such as hydrochloric acid or acetic acid. The reaction is preferably effected in the presence of a solvent, the nature of which is not critical, provided that it has no adverse effect upon (although it may participate in) the reaction. Suitable solvents include water and a variety of organic solvents, for example: alcohols, such as methanol or ethanol; ethers, such as tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether or dioxane; halogenated hydrocarbons, such as methylene chloride or chloroform; esters, such as ethyl acetate; aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene or toluene; amides, such as dimethylformamide or dimethylacetamide; and organic acids, such as acetic acid. It will be noted that certain of the compounds mentioned herein as potential solvents may also serve as part of the reduction system described above and, in that case, the same compound may serve both as a reagent and as a solvent, if desired.
The reaction will take place over a wide range of temperatures, for example from -20.degree. C. to +100.degree. C., although the precise temperature chosen will depend upon several factors, of which the most important is the nature of the reductive system employed. The reaction can be carried out under atmospheric pressure, although, in some cases, it may be desirable to carry it out under an elevated or reduced pressure.
Of the compounds of formula (I), the monoester monocarboxylic acids in which R.sup.6 represents an ester residue and R.sup.7 represents a hydrogen atom and the dicarboxylic acids in which both R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 represent hydrogen atoms, as well as the salts of these acids, are medically the most important compounds. The monoester monocarboxylic acid can be prepared by selective deprotection of the ester residue represented by R.sup.7 in a diester compound in which both R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 represent ester residues; alternatively, it may be prepared by the reductive condensation of an amino acid of formula (II) in which R.sup.7 represents a hydrogen atom with a ketoester of formula (IV) in which R.sup.6 represents an ester residue.
A dicarboxylic acid of formula (I) in which both R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 represent hydrogen atoms can also be prepared by hydrolyzing a diester or monoester of formula (I) (in which R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 represent ester residues or R.sup.6 represents an ester residue and R.sup.7 represents a hydrogen atom) with an acid or base; it may also be prepared by reductive removal of the ester group or groups of the diester or monoester. The reaction conditions employed are the same as those described for deprotection of the carboxy-protecting group represented by R.sup.12 in the compound of formula (VII) described hereafter.
If desired, compounds of formula (I) in which n is 0 may be converted to the corresponding compounds in which n is 1 or 2 by oxidation, as described in more detail hereafter.
The starting materials of formula (II) employed in the processes of the present invention may be prepared in a variety of ways. For example, these compounds of formula (II) in which n is 0, that is to say compounds of formula (IIa): ##STR7## (in which R.sup.2 -R.sup.5, B and R.sup.7 are as defined above) can be prepared, for example, by the process illustrated in the following reaction scheme: ##STR8##
In the above formulae, R.sup.2 -R.sup.5, R.sup.7 and B are as defined above. R.sup.10, R.sup.11, R.sup.13 and R.sup.14 are the same or different and each represents a hydrogen atom or an amino-protecting group (R.sup.10 and R.sup.11 being different from R.sup.13 and R.sup.14) and R.sup.12 represents a hydrogen atom or carboxy-protecting group.
The nature of the carboxy-protecting group represented by R.sup.12 is not critical to the present invention, as its purpose is merely to protect the carboxy group from participation in the reaction of step A1 and it is then immediately eliminated in step A2. Accordingly, any protecting group known in the art for use in this type of reaction may be employed, normally an ester residue. Examples include: methyl and substituted methyl groups, such as the methyl, allyl, methoxymethyl, methylthiomethyl, 2-methoxyethoxymethyl, benzyloxymethyl, phenacyl, p-bromophenacyl or phthalimidomethyl groups; other lower (e.g. C.sub.2 -C.sub.6, preferably C.sub.2 -C.sub.4) alkyl groups, which may be substituted or unsubstituted, for example the ethyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethyl, 2-iodoethyl, 2-trimethylsilylethyl, 2-(p-toluenesulfonyl)ethyl or t-butyl groups; benzyl groups which may be substituted or unsubstituted, for example the benzyl, benzhydryl (i.e. diphenylmethyl), p-methoxybenzyl or p-nitrobenzyl groups; or silyl groups, preferably trialkylsilyl groups in which each alkyl part has from 1 to 6, preferably from 1 to 4, carbon atoms, for example the trimethylsilyl or t-butyldimethylsilyl groups. It should, however, be appreciated that these groups are given merely by way of exemplification and there is no limitation on the nature of the carboxy-protecting group, provided that it is capable of serving a protecting function.
Likewise, there is no criticality as to the nature of the amino-protecting group represented by R.sup.10, R.sup.11, R.sup.13 or R.sup.14, as these groups are present in certain of the steps of the reaction scheme merely in order to prevent participation of the amino group which they protect in the relevant reaction and they are removed either in step A2 or in step A5 and thus do not appear in the final product, the starting material of formula (IIa), of this reaction scheme. Accordingly, they have no influence on the nature of the final product and may be chosen having regard solely to their protecting function. Examples of such protecting groups include: alkoxycarbonyl groups, in which the alkoxy part preferably has from 1 to 6, more preferably from 1 to 4, carbon atoms and which may be substituted or unsubstituted [examples of substituents being any of those groups and atoms listed above as substituents (a) and (b) as well as lower (e.g. C.sub.1 -C.sub.4) alkylidene groups], for example the 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl, 2-iodoethoxycarbonyl, trimethylsilylethoxycarbonyl, t-butoxycarbonyl, allyloxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, p-methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl or p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl groups; alkanesulfonylalkoxycarbonyl groups in which each alkyl part has from 1 to 6, preferably from 1 to 4, carbon atoms or aromatic sulfonylalkoxycarbonyl groups in which the aryl part is C.sub.6 -C.sub.10 carbocyclic aryl and the alkyl part is C.sub.1 -C.sub.6, preferably C.sub.1 -C.sub.4, alkyl and where the aryl part may be unsubstituted or have one or more of the substituents heretofore listed as substituent (a), for example the 2-methanesulfonylethoxycarbonyl or 2-(p-toluenesulfonyl)ethoxycarbonyl group; C.sub.1 -C.sub.7 aliphatic acyl or (C.sub.6 -C.sub.10 carbocyclic aryl) acyl groups, which may be unsubstituted or have one or more of the substituents listed in group (a) above, for example the formyl, acetyl, benzoyl, chloroacetyl or trifluoroacetyl groups; cyclic diacyl groups, such as the phthaloyl or 2,3-diphenylmalonyl groups; substituted methyl groups, such as the methoxymethyl, benzyloxymethyl, benzyl, 3,4-dimethoxybenzyl or trityl groups; alkylidene or aralkylidene groups, such as the propylidene, benzylidene or salicylidene groups; acylvinyl groups, such as the 2-acetyl-1-methylvinyl or 2-benzoyl-1-methylvinyl groups; and silyl groups, particularly trialkylsilyl groups in which each alkyl part has from 1 to 6, preferably from 1 to 4, carbon atoms, for example the trimethylsilyl or t-butyldimethylsilyl groups. It should, however, be appreciated that these groups are given by way of example only and that the nature of the group is not critical, provided that it serves its required protecting function.
The compound of formula (V) is a derivative of cysteine and its reaction in step A1 with the compound of formula (VI) is preferably effected in a suitable solvent and in the presence of a base. The nature of the solvent is not critical, provided that it has no adverse effect upon the reaction, and similarly the nature of the base is not critical. The reagents and reaction conditions, such as the solvent, base, reaction temperature, and reaction time, as well as the techniques for isolation and purification of the reaction product are similar to those described in detail in relation to the reaction of the compound of formula (II) with the compound of formula (III).
In step A2, the carboxy-protecting group represented by R.sup.12 and the amino-protecting groups represented by R.sup.13 and R.sup.14 are removed by conventional means well-known in chemical synthesis and, apart from one consideration, the reaction employed to remove these groups is not critical to the present process. It is, however, necessary that the removal reaction should have no effect on the amino-protecting groups represented by R.sup.10 and R.sup.11 in the cysteine part of the molecule of the compound of formula (VII). The precise removal reaction or reactions chosen will, of course, depend upon the precise nature of the carboxy-protecting group represented by R.sup.12 and the amino-protecting groups represented by R.sup.13 and R.sup.14, for example:
where R.sup.12 represents an alkyl group, such as a methyl or ethyl group, the compound may be deprotected by hydrolysis with an alkali, preferably an alkali metal hydroxide, such as lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide;
where R.sup.12 represents a protecting group such as a methoxymethyl, methoxyethoxymethyl, t-butyl, benzhydryl, p-methoxybenzyl, trimethylsilyl or t-butyldimethylsilyl group, the compound may be deprotected by reaction with an acid or a Lewis acid, such as hydrochloric acid, trifluoroacetic acid or aluminum chloride; where R.sup.13 and/or R.sup.14 represents a protecting group such as a t-butoxycarbonyl, p-methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl, trityl or t-butyldimethylsilylethoxycarbonyl group, this is similarly removed by reaction with an acid or a Lewis acid;
where R.sup.12 represents a group such as a benzyl or p-nitrobenzyl group and/or R.sup.13 or R.sup.14 represents a group such as a benzyloxycarbonyl or p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl group, the compound may be deprotected by catalytic reduction, employing hydrogen in the presence of a suitable catalyst, for example palladium, which may be supported, for example, on carbon;
where R.sup.12 represents a group such as a 2,2,2-trichloroethyl, 2-iodoethyl, phenacyl or p-bromophenacyl group and/or R.sup.13 or R.sup.14 represents a group such as a 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl or 2-iodoethoxycarbonyl group, the compound may be deprotected by reduction employing a mixture of a metal powder (e.g. zinc powder) and an acid (e.g. acetic acid or hydrochloric acid);
where R.sup.12 represents a group such as an allyl group and/or R.sup.13 or R.sup.14 represents a group such as an allyloxycarbonyl group, the compound may be deprotected by a catalytic reaction, employing, for example, tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (O); or
where R.sup.13 or R.sup.14 is a group such as a phthaloyl group, the compound may be deprotected by reaction with hydrazine or a hydrazine derivative, preferably an alkylhydrazine, such as hydrazine or methylhydrazine.
The reaction in this deprotection step A2 is preferably effected in the presence of a solvent, the nature of which is not critical, provided that it has no adverse effect upon the reaction. The optimum solvent will, of course, depend upon the precise reaction chosen and, as is obvious to those skilled in the art, in some cases, the solvent may participate in the deprotection reaction. In general terms, suitable solvents may be chosen from the class consisting of: water; acids, preferably carboxylic and more preferably aliphatic carboxylic, acids such as acetic acid or formic acid; alcohols, such as methanol or ethanol; ethers, such as tetrahydrofuran, dioxane or anisole; ketones, such as acetone; halogenated hydrocarbons, preferably halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as methylene chloride or chloroform; and hydrocarbons, which may be aliphatic or aromatic, such as benzene or toluene. These reactions will take place over a wide range of temperatures, for example at a temperature within the range from -10.degree. C. to +100.degree. C.; in general, the time allowed for the reaction will vary depending upon the nature of the deprotection reaction and other reaction conditions, including the reaction temperature; at one extreme, a relatively fast reaction will be complete within perhaps 30 minutes, whereas, at the other extreme, it may be advisable to allow a whole day and night for the reaction: however, these are matters well within the skill and knowledge of the laboratory technician.
It will, of course, be appreciated that removal of the amino-protecting groups and carboxy-protecting groups may be carried out in any order or (assuming a suitable removal reaction is chosen in relation to the particular protecting groups) simultaneously; likewise, although it is not preferred, if the amino-protecting groups R.sup.13 and R.sup.14 are different, these may be removed sequentially or simultaneously. In general, however, either the carboxy-protecting group represented by R.sup.12 is first removed, and then the amino-protecting groups R.sup.13 and/or R.sup.14 are removed or the amino-protecting groups represented by R.sup.13 and/or R.sup.14 are first removed, and then the carboxy-protecting group R.sup.12 is removed, or all protecting groups, R.sup.12 and R.sup.13 and/or R.sup.14, are removed together. For example, if R.sup.12 represents a t-butyl group, R.sup.13 represents a t-butoxycarbonyl group and R.sup.14 represents a hydrogen atom, the compound of formula (VIII) may be obtained in a single step by deprotection with an acid. Similarly, if R.sup.12 represents a 2,2,2-trichloroethyl group, R.sup.13 represents a 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl group and R.sup.14 represents a hydrogen atom, the compound of formula (VIII) may be obtained by deprotection in a single step with a combination of zinc powder and an acid.
If desired, the compound of formula (VIII) may be purified by various conventional means, for example by isoelectric precipitation, recrystallization or the various chromatography techniques, such as column chromatography; however, if desired, the crude product obtained from this reaction may be employed directly in the next step without any specific purification.
In step A3, the compound of formula (VIII) is cyclized to form a perhydrothiazepine derivative of formula (IX) by condensing the free amino group with the free carboxy group, to form an amide linkage, of a type which is well-known in the field of peptide chemistry. This reaction may generally be carried out by contacting the compound of formula (VIII) with a dehydrating agent, such as N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, carbonyldiimidazole, diphenylphosphoryl azide, diethyl cyanophosphate or phosphorus pentachloride. If a dehydrating agent of the carbodiimide kind is employed, the reaction can be accelerated by carrying out the reaction in the presence of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole, N-hydroxysuccinimide or a similar compound. It may also be advantageous to carry out the reaction in the presence of a base, which may be an organic base, for example pyridine, picoline, triethylamine or N-methylmorpholine, or an inorganic base, such as sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate. The reaction is preferably effected in the presence of a solvent, the nature of which is not critical, provided that it has no adverse effect upon the reaction. Suitable solvents include, for example: amides, such as dimethylformamide, hexamethylphosphoric triamide, or dimethylacetamide; ethers, such as tetrahydrofuran or dioxane; halogenated hydrocarbons, preferably aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as methylene chloride or chloroform; esters, such as ethyl acetate; or aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene or toluene. Sometimes, the product can be isolated as crystals from the reaction mixture; at other times, other recovery technique (such as those described elsewhere in the specification) may be employed; if desired, the product can be purified by various conventional technique, such as the chromatography techniques, especially column chromatography.
In step A4 of the reaction scheme, the compound of formula (X) can be prepared by N-alkylation of the compound of formula (IX), employing a compound of formula (XI):
X--B--COOR.sup.7 (XI)
[in which B and R.sup.7 are as defined above and X represents preferably a bromine atom; other examples are given in relation to the atom or group represented by X in the compound of formula (III)]. This reaction is preferably effected in the presence of a solvent and of a base. The nature of the solvent employed is not critical, provided that it has no adverse effect upon the reaction. Suitable solvents include, for example: hydrocarbons, which may be aliphatic or aromatic, for example hexane or benzene; halogenated hydrocarbons, which likewise may be aliphatic or aromatic, but which are preferably aliphatic, such as methylene chloride or 1,2-dichloroethane; ethers, such as tetrahydrofuran or dioxane; esters, such as ethyl acetate; ketones, such as acetone; amides, such as dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide or hexamethylphosphoric triamide; or sulfoxides, such as dimethyl sulfoxide. The nature of the base is likewise not critical, and examples include: alkali metal hydrides, such as sodium hydride, lithium hydride or potassium hydride; alkyl-alkali metal compounds, such as butyllithium; alkali metal amides, such as lithium diisopropylamide, lithium dicyclohexylamide or lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide; alkali metal carbonates, such as sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate; or organic amines, such as triethylamine, triethylenediamine, 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene or 1,8-diazabicyclo-[5.4.0]undec- 7-ene. If desired, this reaction may be carried out as a two-phase reaction employed water and a water-immiscible solvent as the reaction media; suitable water-immiscible solvents include methylene chloride and chloroform. In the case of the two-phase reaction, a phase transfer catalyst, such as tetrabutylammonium bromide or benzyltriethylammonium iodide, may be employed and the base may be a relatively strong base, such as an alkali metal hydroxide, e.g. sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. The reaction will take place over a wide range of temperatures, for example from -20.degree. C. to +100.degree. C. The time required for the reaction will vary widely, depending on many factors, including the reaction temperature as well as the natures of the solvent, base and reagents, but a period of from 30 minutes to 24 hours will normally suffice. After completion of the reaction, the desired compound of formula (X) may be obtained from the reaction mixture by conventional means. For example, one suitable recovery technique comprises: adding an organic solvent, such as ethyl acetate, to the reaction mixture; washing the organic layer with water and then drying it; and finally distilling off the solvent to give the desired compound. If necessary, this compound may be further purified by such conventional means as recrystallization or the various chromatography techniques, particularly column chromatography.
In step A5, the compound of formula (X) is converted to a compound of formula (IIa) by deprotection of the amino group at the 6-position of the thiazepine ring. The reactions involved are similar to those employed for removal of the amino-protecting groups represented by R.sup.13 and R.sup.14 from the compound of formula (VII) in step A2 and, depending upon the precise amino-protecting group or groups chosen, the same conditions and reagents as described in more detail in step A2 may be employed in step A5. After the reaction, the reaction product may be separated from the reaction mixture, as described in relation to step A2 and may then, if necessary, be further purified by such conventional techniques as recrystallization and/or the various chromatography techniques, particularly column chromatography.
Compounds of formula (II) in which m is 1 or 2, that is to say compounds of formula (IIb), may be prepared as illustrated in the following reaction scheme: ##STR9##
In the above formulae, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, B and R.sup.7 are as defined above and m is 1 or 2.
In step B1 or B3 of this reaction sequence, the compound of formula (IX) or (X) (prepared as illustrated in steps A3 or A4 above) is oxidized to give, respectively, a compound of formula (XI) or (XII). The reaction is preferably effected in the presence of a solvent, the nature of which is not critical, provided that it has no adverse effect upon the reaction. Suitable solvents include: water; acids, preferably carboxylic acids and more preferably aliphatic carboxylic acids, such as acetic acid or formic acid; alcohols, such as methanol or ethanol; ethers, such as tetrahydrofuran or dioxane; ketones, such as acetone; halogenated hydrocarbons, particularly halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as methylene chloride or chloroform; or hydrocarbons, particularly aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene or toluene. For the oxidation reaction, any oxidizing agent known for the oxidization of sulfides to sulfoxides (m=1) or sulfones (m=2) may be employed. Examples of suitable oxidizing agents include such organic oxidizing agents as peracetic acid or m-chloroperbenzoic acid and such inorganic oxidizing agents as hydrogen peroxide, ozone or various periodates. The reaction will take place over a wide range of temperatures, for example from -80.degree. C. to +100.degree. C., and the time required for the reaction will vary, depending upon the nature of the reagents, the reaction conditions (notably reaction temperature) and the desired product. By controlling the nature and amount of oxidizing agent, the reaction temperature and the reaction time, it is possible to prepare selectively either a sulfoxide [a compound of formula (IIb) in which m is 1] or a sulfone [a compound of formula (IIb) in which m is 2].
After the reaction, excess oxidizing agent may be removed, if necessary, by treatment with dimethyl sulfide, an aqueous solution of sodium thiosulfate or an aqueous solution of sodium sulfite. The product of the oxidative reaction, the compound of formula (XI) or (XII), may then be obtained from the reaction mixture by extraction with a suitable organic solvent, washing, drying and then distillation of the organic solvent.
In step B2, the compound of formula (XI) is N-alkylated, precisely as in step A4, employing the same reagents and reaction conditions. The compound of formula (XII) which is the product of step B2 or step B3 is then deprotected, as described in more detail in step A5, employing the same reagents and reaction conditions.
Compounds of formula (Ib): ##STR10## (in which R.sup.1 --R.sup.7, B and m are as defined above and A' represents a direct single bond, a methylene group, an ethylene group or an oxymethyl group, that is any one of the bond or groups represented by A except the thiomethyl group) can be prepared by oxidation of a corresponding compound of formula (Ic): ##STR11## (in which R.sup.1 --R.sup.7, B and A' are as defined above). The reaction conditions are precisely the same as described above in relation to steps B1 and B3, employing the same reagents.
The processes described above will produce mixtures of optical isomers of the compounds of the invention, even if the starting materials are isolated optical isomers, as the reactions involved will racemize the compounds. However, by adopting alternative stereospecific reactions, it is possible to obtain specific isomers of the compounds of the invention. For example, in the reactions to produce the starting materials of formula (IIa), reaction of the compound of formula (V) with the compound of formula (VI) to produce the compound of formula (VII) tends to result in racemization of the carbon atom to which the cysteine nitrogen atom is attached, depending upon the sort of R.sup.10, R.sup.11 and/or R.sup.12 and the base to be used, especially where R.sup.12 is an ester residue in formula (V). However, if, instead of employing a compound of formula (VI) to react with the compound of formula (V), a compound of formula (XX): ##STR12## (in which R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are as defined above) is reacted with the compound of formula (V) wherein R.sup.12 is typically a hydrogen atom under a mild condition, the resulting compound of formula (XXI): ##STR13## (in which R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.10, R.sup.11 and R.sup.12 are as defined above) retains an optically active, non-racemized, carbon atom at that point marked with an asterisk. This compound of formula (XXI) may then be reduced by conventional means (well-known for the reduction of nitro groups to amino groups) to give a compound of formula (VII) in which R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.13 and R.sup.14 all represent hydrogen atoms and this may then subsequently be subjected to steps A2-A5 as already described.
In any case, where mixtures of optical isomers are produced at any stage during the preparation of the final product of formula (I) or the starting material of formula (II), the mixture of optical isomers may, if desired, be separated by conventional resolution methods, for example the formation of salts with optically active bases, such as cinchonine, cinchonidine, quinine or quinidine, or with optically active organic acids, e.g. l-camphorsulfonic acid or d-camphorsulfonic acid. Optical isomers can also be resolved by other known techniques, including various kinds of chromatography, fractional crystallization etc.
As noted above, the compounds of the present invention have the ability to inhibit the activity of ACE, the enzyme which converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II and also inactivates bradykinin. The physiological activity of the compounds of the invention can be evaluated by determining the concentration of the test compound required to inhibit the activity of ACE by 50% in vitro (IC.sub.50), for example by the procedure of D. W. Cushman et al. [Biochemical Pharmachology, 20, 1637 (1971)]. Specifically, solutions of ACE extracted from rabbit lungs and, as substrate, hippurylhistidylleucine, to which had been added the test compound at various concentrations, were added to a borate buffer solution containing sodium chloride, and the pH was adjusted to a value of 8.3. The enzymatic reaction was allowed to proceed at 37.degree. C. for 30 minutes, after which time the reaction was terminated by adding 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid. The hippuric acid formed by this reaction was extracted with ethyl acetate and the solvent was then distilled from the extract. The residual hippuric acid was dissolved in water. The amount of hippuric acid in the resulting aqueous solution was determined by the absorbency to ultraviolet radiation at 228 nm. These values were then plotted to form a curve indicating the relationship between the amount of hippuric acid formed and the concentration of the test compound. The IC.sub.50 value can be obtained by reading on this curve the concentration of the test compound which reduces the amount of hippuric acid formed to one half of that formed when no test compound is present. The IC.sub.50 values obtained for various of the compounds of the invention by this procedure are shown in the following Table. The compounds tested were as follows:
A: .alpha.-{6(R)-[1(S)-carboxy-3-phenylpropylamino]-5-oxo-3(R)-phenylperhydro-1,4-thiazepin-4-yl}acetic acid (product of Example 6);

As can be clearly seen from the results in the above Table, the compounds of the invention inhibit ACE activity at very low concentrations and are thus useful as diagnostic, preventative and therapeutic agents for hypertensive patients; likewise, salts of these compounds would have similar activities.
For practical, therapeutic use, the compounds of the invention are preferably administered in combination with suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, vehicles or diluents. The compounds can be administered orally or non-orally (e.g. parenterally by intravenous or intramuscular injection) and the form of the composition will, of course, be determined by the intended route of administration. For oral administration, the compounds of the invention may, for example, be administered as powders, granules, tablets, capsules, syrups or elixirs. For parenteral administration, the compounds will be administered in the form of a suitable injectible composition, in which the compound of the invention is dissolved or suspended in a pyrogen-free injectible medium. The dose will vary depending upon the nature and severity of the disorder, as well as upon the age, condition and body weight of the patient. For example, for the therapy of an adult human patient, the dose at each administration would preferably be from 0.5 to 1000 mg, more preferably from 5 to 100 mg, for oral administration, whilst the preferred dose at each administration for intravenous injection is from 0.5 to 100 mg, more preferably from 0.5 to 10 mg. One or more of these doses, preferably from 1 to 3 doses, may be administered daily.

The invention is further illustrated by the following Examples, which describe the preparation of various of the compounds of the invention, including separation and/or preparation of individual isomers thereof. In the nuclear magnetic resonance spectra reported in certain of these Examples, the abbreviation "Ph" signifies the phenyl group. The values for optical rotation were all measured with the sodium D-line, i.e. all values are [.alpha.].sub.D.
EXAMPLE 1
t-Butyl .alpha.-[6(R)-(1-ethoxycarbonyl-3-phenylpropylamino)-5-oxo-3(R)-phenylperhydro-1,4-thiazepin-4-yl]acetate (Compound No. 74)
1(a) 2-(R)-t-Butoxycarbonylamino-2-phenylethanol
10.5 g of di-t-butyl pyrocarbonate were added, with ice-cooling, to a mixture of 6 g of D-(-)-.alpha.-phenylglycinol and 6 ml of triethylamine dissolved in 100 ml of methylene chloride, and the mixture was stirred for 15 hours at room temperature. The reaction solution was then concentrated by evaporation under reduced pressure, and the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate and water.
