The relative amount of said compound (2) and acid chloride derivative (3) is not particularly critical but the latter is preferably used in an equimolar to excess proportion with respect to the former. Usually, the acid acceptor mentioned above is preferably used in an equimolar or excess proportion relative to said acid chloride derivative (3). This reaction proceeds under cooling, at room temperature or under heating but it is usually advantageous to conduct the reaction within the temperature range of 0.degree. C. to the reflux temperature of the solvent used. Generally the reaction goes to completion in about 0.5 - 10 hours. ##STR4## [wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5a, R.sup.6a, A, B, X, Y and Z are as defined hereinbefore]
According to the process shown in Reaction Schema-2, the objective compound (1a) of the invention can be obtained by reacting compound (2) with compound (4) in the presence of a condensing agent in an inert solvent. The inert solvent which can be used is any of the known aprotic solvents, although N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) is particularly useful.

However, it is generally recommendable to use the former compound in an equimolar or excess proportion, preferably an approximately equimolar proportion, relative to the latter compound. The above condensing agent is used in an equimolar to excess proportion, preferably a small excess, relative to compound (4). This reaction is conducted generally under ice-cooling to room temperature for about 0.5-2 hours. ##STR5## [wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.6a, A, B, X, Y and Z are as defined above. R.sup.5b represents a lower alkoxy group]
The partial hydrolysis shown in the above Reaction Schema-3 is carried out by reacting compound (1b) with a lithium halide such as lithium bromide, lithium chloride, lithium iodide, etc. and thereafter treating the reaction product with a mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and so on.

This reaction goes to completion in about 5-30 hours at room temperature to the reflux temperature of the solvent.
The resultant compound (7) can be reacted with a phosphorous triester (8) to give compound (9). This reaction can be carried out in a solvent such as lower alcohols, aromatic or aliphatic hydrocarbons, DMF, etc. but is preferably conducted in the absence of a solvent in most cases. If necessary, a salt of iodine such as sodium iodide, potassium iodide, etc. can be added to the reaction system and usually the reaction is preferably conducted using said phosphorous triester (8) in excess at a temperature of about 130.degree.-170.degree. C. for about 1-20 hours.
The compound (9) can then be hydrolyzed to compound (4'). This hydrolysis reaction is carried out in the presence of an aqueous alkali solution, such as aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, aqueous potassium hydroxide solution, etc., in an inert solvent such as methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, etc. and this reaction goes to completion in about 1-15 hours at a temperature somewhere between 0.degree. C. and room temperature.
The compound (4') can be chlorinated at the carboxyl function to give compound (5'). This chlorination reaction is carried out using dichloromethane, chloroform, DMF or the like either singly or in combination as the solvent and a small excess of thionyl chloride, phosphorus oxychloride, phosphorus pentachloride or the like as the chlorinating agent at room temperature to about 60.degree.

PHARMACOLOGICAL TEST EXAMPLE 1
Hypolipidemic Effect in Rats with Triton WR1339-Induced Hyperlipidemia
An experiment for assaying hypolipidemic activity in rats with Triton WR1339-induced hyperlipidemia was performed according to the method of Kuroda et al. [Biochem. Biophys. Acta., 489, 119 (1977)], as follows.
Thus, using 6-7-week-old male Wistar rats in groups of 6 (test groups), a solution of 300 mg/kg Triton in physiological saline was administered into the tail vein and, at the same time, 100 mg/kg of the test compound suspended in 5% gum arabic solution was administered orally.
As a control group, a group of 6 rats given Triton were orally dosed with 5% gum arabic solution.
Twenty-four hours after administration of Triton, blood was withdrawn from the abdominal aorta and the plasma total cholesterol and triglyceride were determined using Cholesterol C-Test Wako and Triglyceride G-Test Wako (both available from Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.), respectively.
Using the measured values in the control group as references, the rates of decrease (%) in plasma total cholesterol and triglyceride in the test group were calculated by means of the following equation. ##EQU1##
The test rats were deprived of food before Triton administration through completion of blood sampling but allowed free access to drinking water. The rates of decrease in total cholesterol are shown in Table 3 and those in triglyceride are shown in Table 4.
