According to the invention, the new compounds are obtained by the following processes:
(a) A compound of formula II: ##STR10## can be reacted with a compound of formula III:
wherein
A, B, E, G and Het are as hereinbefore defined,
R.sub.1 ' represents a hydroxy, amino or alkylamino group protected by a protecting group or has the meanings given for R.sub.1 hereinbefore,
R.sub.2 ' represents a hydroxy group protected by a protecing group or has the meanings given for R.sub.2 hereinbefore, one of the groups U or V represents the R.sub.3 ' --NH--group, wherein R.sub.3 ' represents a protecting group for an amino group or has the meanings given for R.sub.3 hereinbefore and the other group U or V represents a nucleophilically exchangeable group such as a halogen atom or a sulphonyloxy group, e.g. a chlorine, bromine or iodine atom or a methanesulphonyloxy, p-toluenesulphonyloxy or ethoxysulphonyloxy group, with any protecting group used subsequently being split off.
Suitable protecting groups for a hydroxy group include, for example, trimethylsilyl, acetyl, benzoyl, benzyl and tetrahydropyranyl groups and
suitable protecting groups for an amino or alkylamino group include the acetyl, benzoyl, ethoxycarbonyl and benzyl groups.
The reaction is conveniently carried out in a solvent or mixture of solvents such as acetone, diethylether, methylformamide, dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, benzene, toluene, chlorobenzene, tetrahydrofuran, benzene/tetrahydrofuran, dioxan or in an excess of the compounds of formulae II and/or III used and optionally in the presence of an acid binding agent, e.g. an alkoxide such as potassium tert.butoxide, an alkali metal hydroxide such as sodium or potassium hydroxide, an alkali metal carbonate such as potassium carbonate, an alkali metal amide such as sodium amide, an alkali metal hydride such as sodium hydride, a tertiary organic base such as triethylamine or pyridine, in which the latter can simultaneously also serve as solvent, or a reaction accelerator such as potassium iodide depending on the reactivity of the nucleophilically exchangeable group, conveniently at temperatures of between 0.degree. and 150.degree. C., preferably at temperatures of between 50.degree. and 120.degree. C., e.g. at the boiling temperature of the solvent used. However the reaction can also be carried out without a solvent. It is, however, particularly advantageous to perform the reaction in the presence of a tertiary organic base or an excess of the amine of formula III.
The optionally subsequent splitting off of a protected group used is preferably carried out by hydrolysis in an aqueous solvent, e.g. in water, isopropanol/water tetrahydrofuran/water or dioxan/water, in the presence of an acid such as hydrochloric or sulphuric acid or in the presence of an alkali metal base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide at temperatures of between 0.degree. and 100.degree. C., preferably at the boiling temperature of the reaction mixture. However, a benzyl group is preferably split off by hydrogenolysis, e.g. with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst such as palladium/charcoal in a solvent such as methanol, ethanol, ethylacetate or glacial acetic acid, optionally with the addition of an acid such as hydrochloric acid at temperatures of between 0.degree. and 50.degree. C., but preferably at ambient temperature, under a hydrogen pressure of from 1 to 7 bar, preferably from 3 to 5 bar.
(b) Compounds of formula I wherein A represents a --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 -- group, B represents a methylene or carbonyl group and R.sub.3 does not represent an alkenyl group having 3 to 5 carbon atoms can be prepared by hydrogenating a compound of formula IV: ##STR11## wherein R.sub.1 to R.sub.3, E, G and Het are as hereinbefore defined and
B' represents a methylene or carbonyl group.
The hydrogenation is carried out in a solvent or mixture of solvents such as methanol, ethanol, ethylacetate or glacial acetic acid with catalytically activated hydrogen, e.g. with hydrogen in the presence of platinum or palladium/charcoal, under a hydrogen pressure of from 1 to 7 bar, preferably from 3 to 5 bar, and at temperatures of between 0.degree. and 75.degree. C. but preferably at temperatures of between 20.degree. and 50.degree. C.
