Claims
- 1. A process for preparing compounds of the following formula: ##STR18## wherein: R.sup.1 is a six member saturated or unsaturated heterocyclic ring containing one or two heteroatoms wherein the heteroatoms are N; or NR.sup.6, wherein R.sup.6 is C.sub.1-10 alkyl;
- m is an integer from two to six; and
- R.sup.4 is aryl, C.sub.1-10 alkyl, or C.sub.4-10 aralkyl,
- according to the process steps whereby ##STR19## methylated R.sup.1 is reacted with nBuLi, before quenching with a straight chain alkyl group having Br at one end and OR at the other end, to yield (2), wherein R is tetrahydropyran; ##STR20## (2) is aged, first in hydrogen chloride gas in ethanol, and then neutralized in triethylamine/tetrahydrofuran and to yield (3); and ##STR21## a solution of (4) and Ph.sub.3 P in THF is combined with (3) and (iPrO.sub.2 CN).sub.2 in THF to yield (5) after ester hydrolysis.
- 2. A process according to claim 1, wherein a compound of the formula ##STR22## wherein R.sup.1 is a six membered unsaturated heterocyclic ring containing one or two N heteroatoms,
- is selectively hydrogenated using Pd/C in acetic acid to yield ##STR23## wherein R.sup.2 is a six membered saturated heterocyclic ring containing one or two N heteroatoms.
- 3. A process according to claim 2, wherein
- m is 4; ##STR24##
