The product of formula IV can be converted to the mercaptan product of formula I wherein R.sub.2 is hydrogen and R.sub.3 is hydrogen by methods known in the art. For example, when R.sub.6 is methyl and R.sub.3 is methyl or ethyl treatment with methanolic sodium hydroxide followed by aqueous acid yields the products wherein R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are hydrogen.

The acylmercapto sidechain compounds of formula II wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.12 are both other than hydrogen and r is zero can be prepared by reacting the substituted carboxylic acid of the formula (VIII) ##STR25## with bis(4-methoxy)phenyl!methyldisulfide in the presence of lithium diisopropylamide to give the compound of the formula (IX) ##STR26##
Treatment of the compound of formula IX with strong acid such as trifluoromethanesulfonic acid removes the methoxybenzyl protecting group and is followed by acylation with the acyl halide of formula V or anhydride of formula VI to give the compound of formula II wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.12 are both other than hydrogen and r is zero.
Alternatively, the substituted carboxylic acid of formula VIII can be reacted with lithium diisopropyl amide and sulfur to give the mercaptan of the formula (X) ##STR27##
The mercaptan of formula X can then be acylated with the acyl halide of formula V or the anhydride of formula VI to give the compound of formula II wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.12 are both other than hydrogen and r is zero.
The acylmercapto sidechain compounds of formula II wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.12 are both other than hydrogen and r is one can be prepared by reacting the substituted carboxylic acid of the formula (XI) ##STR28## with para-toluenesulfonyl chloride in pyridine to give the lactam of the formula (XII) ##STR29##
Treatment of the lactam of formula XII with a cesium thioacid of the formula (XIII) ##STR30## in the presence of dimethylformamide yields the desired acylmercapto sidechain of formula II wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.12 are both other than hydrogen and r is one.
The compounds of formula I wherein A is ##STR31## X is O or S, and Y is CH.sub.2, O, or S can be prepared by coupling the acid of the formula (XIV) ##STR32## wherein R.sub.7 is an acid protecting group with the fused bicyclic ring compound of formula III in the presence of a coupling reagent as defined above to give the product of the formula (XV) ##STR33##
Alternatively, the acid of formula XIV can be converted to an activated form such as an acid chloride prior to the coupling reaction.
The acids of formula XIV are described by Warshawsky et al. in European Patent Application 534,396 and 534,492.
The compounds of formula I wherein A is ##STR34## X is O or S, and Y is CH.sub.2, O, or S can be prepared by reacting a keto acid or ester of the formula (XVI) ##STR35## with a fused bicyclic ring compound of formula III under reducing conditions to give the product of the formula (XVII) ##STR36##
The keto acids and esters of formula XVI are described in the literature. See, for example, Ruyle U.S. Pat. No. 4,584,294 and Parsons et al. U.S. Pat. No. 4,873,235.
Alternatively, the fused bicyclic ring compound formula III can be reacted with a triflate of the formula (XVIII) ##STR37## to give the product of formula XVII.
The compounds of formula I wherein A is ##STR38## X is O or S and Y is CH.sub.2, O or S can be prepared by coupling a phosphonochloridate of the formula (XIX) ##STR39## wherein R.sub.5 is lower alkyl or benzyl with a fused bicyclic ring compound of formula III to give the product of the formula (XX) ##STR40##
Preferably, R.sub.3 in the compound of formula III is lower alkyl or benzyl. The R.sub.3 and R.sub.5 acid protecting groups can then be removed, for example, by hydrogenation to give the corresponding products of formula I wherein R.sub.3 and R.sub.5 are hydrogen.
The phosphonochloridates of formula XIX are known in the literature. See, for example, Karanewsky et al. U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,432,971 and 4,432,972 and Karanewsky U.S. Pat. No. 4,460,579.
The products of formula I wherein either X or Y or both are S--(O).sub.t and t is one or two can be prepared by oxidation of the compounds of formulas IV, XV, XVII, or XX with a known oxidizing reagent such as meta chloroperbenzoic acid, peracetic acid, monoperoxyphthalic acid, magnesium salt hexahydrate, etc. By controlling the amount of oxidizing reagent and the time of the reaction, the products are obtained wherein t is one or two.
The ester products of formula I wherein R.sub.5 or R.sub.7 is ##STR41## can be prepared by treating the corresponding compounds of formula I wherein R.sub.5 or R.sub.7 is hydrogen and R.sub.3 is an acid protecting group with a compound of the formula (XXI) ##STR42## wherein L is a leaving group such as chloro, bromo, or tolylsulfonyloxy followed by removal of the R.sub.3 ester protecting group.
The ester products of formula I wherein R.sub.3 is ##STR43## can be prepared by treating the corresponding compounds of formula I wherein R.sub.3 is hydrogen and R.sub.2 is ##STR44## with a compound of formula XXI.
The fused bicyclic ring compounds of formula III can be prepared according to the following processes which also form part of this invention. For example, when Y is CH.sub.2 an N-protected amino acid of the formula (XXII) ##STR45## can be coupled with the amino acid ester of the formula (XXIII) ##STR46## to give the dipeptide of the formula (XXIV) ##STR47## wherein P.sub.1 is an amino protecting group such as benzyloxycarbonyl or t-butyloxycarbonyl or a group which together with the N-atom forms a protecting group such as phthalimido, P.sub.2 is a hydroxy or mercapto protecting group, and R.sub.3 is an easily removable ester protecting group. Preferred P.sub.2 protecting groups when X is S are acyl groups such as acetyl or benzoyl, especially acetyl. Preferred P.sub.2 protecting groups when X is O are acyl groups, tetrahydropyrans, hindered silyl groups and trityls, especially triphenylmethyl and 1,1-dimethylethyldimethylsilyl. This coupling reaction is preferably performed in the presence of a coupling reagent such as benzotriazol-1-yloxytris-(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate, ethyl-3-(3-dimethylamino)propyl carbodiimide, or methanesulfonyloxybenzotriazole.
The P.sub.2 protecting group can be selectively removed from the intermediate of formula XXIV such as by treatment with sodium methoxide in methanol when P.sub.2 is acetyl or benzoyl or treatment with an acid such as p-toluenesulfonic acid in methanol when P.sub.2 is acetyl, benzoyl, trityl, tetrahydropyranyl, or 1,1-dimethylethyldimethylsilyl. The resulting product is then subjected to an acid catalyzed cyclization reaction preferably by treating with a strong acid such as trifluoroacetic acid, para-toluenesulfonic acid or a commercially available polystyrene sulfonate polymer type ion exchange resin such as Amberlyst 15.RTM.. This cyclization reaction can be performed in a non-protic solvent such as methylene chloride or chloroform to give the intermediate of the formula (XXV) ##STR48##
The compounds of formula XXIV after removal of the P.sub.2 protecting group and prior to cyclization wherein X is O can be converted to the corresponding compounds wherein X is S. This can be done by various methods. For example, the compound of formula XXIV after removal of the P.sub.2 group can be treated with triphenylphosphine, diisopropyl azodicarboxylate and thioacetic acid. The resulting thioacetate is then treated with sodium methoxide in methanol to give the corresponding mercaptan which can then be cyclized as described above.
In another method, the compound of formula XXIV after removal of the P.sub.2 group is treated by known methods to give the compound of the formula (XXVI) ##STR49## wherein L is a leaving group such as methanesulfonyloxy, para-toluenesulfonyloxy, iodo, or bromo. For example, treatment of the compound of formula XXIV after removal of the P.sub.2 protecting group with methanesulfonyl chloride gives the compound of formula XXVI wherein L is methanesulfonyloxy.
The compound of formula XXVI is then treated with cesium thioacetate to give the corresponding thioacetate. Treatment with sodium methoxide in methanol gives the corresponding mercaptan which can then be cyclized as described above.
Alternatively, the compound of formula XXIV wherein X is O can be converted directly to the intermediate of formula XXV by treatment with a strong acid such as trifluoroacetic acid, para-toluenesulfonic acid, or a commercially available polystyrene sulfonate polymer type ion exchange resin such as Amberlyst 15.RTM. in a suitable solvent such as methylene chloride or chloroform.
The N-protecting group is then removed from the compound of formula XXV, for example, by treatment with hydrazine monohydrate when P.sub.1 together with N atom forms a phthalimido group or by treatment with iodotrimethylsilane or palladium on carbon and ammonium formate or hydrogen when P.sub.1 is benzyloxycarbonyl or by treatment with hydrochloric acid in dioxane or other strong acid when P.sub.1 is t-butoxycarbonyl to give the fused bicyclic ring compound of formula III.
In still another method when Y is CH.sub.2, the N-protected amino acid of formula XXII can be coupled with the hydroxy amino acid ester of the formula (XXVII) ##STR50## to give the dipeptide of the formula (XXVIII) ##STR51## wherein P.sub.1 and P.sub.2 are as defined above. This coupling reaction is preferably performed in the presence of a coupling reagent such as methanesulfonyloxybenzotriazole or ethyl-3-(dimethylamino)propyl carbodiimide.
Hydroxy compound XXVIII is then oxidized to the aldehyde of the formula (XXIX) ##STR52## by treating with oxalyl chloride/dimethylsulfoxide followed by a tertiary amine in a non-protic solvent such as methylene chloride. The aldehyde of formula XXIX is then treated as described above to remove the P.sub.2 protecting group and then subjected to an acid catalyzed cyclization reaction as described above to give the intermediate of formula XXV.
The starting material of formula XXIII wherein m is one can be prepared by selective protection of the N-atom of L-.epsilon.-hydroxynorleucine to give (XXX) ##STR53## wherein P.sub.3 is an N-protecting group. For example, P.sub.3 and the N-atom can form a phthalimido moiety. The N-protected L-.epsilon.-hydroxynorleucine of formula XXX is then treated to introduce the R.sub.3 acid protecting group such as by treatment with methyl iodide in the presence of base or by treatment with a strong acid in methanol wherein R.sub.3 is methyl. This ester is then oxidized to give the aldehyde of the formula (XXXI) ##STR54##
The aldehyde of formula XXXI is then treated with the orthoformate of the formula (XXXII)
in the presence of a strong acid catalyst and the corresponding alcohol, i.e. HO-alkyl wherein alkyl is the same as in the orthoformate of formula XXXII, to give (XXXIII) ##STR55##
Removal of N-protecting group P.sub.3 such as by treatment with hydrazine hydrate when P.sub.3 and the N-atom forms a phthalimido moiety yields the starting material of formula XXIII wherein m is one.
The starting material of formula XXIII wherein m is zero can be prepared by protecting the N-atom of .gamma.-benzyl glutamate to give (XXXIV) ##STR56## wherein P.sub.3 is an N-protecting group such as t-butyloxycarbonyl or where P.sub.3 and the N-atom can form a phthalimido moiety. The N-protected glutamic acid of formula XXXIV is then treated to introduce the R.sub.3 acid protecting group, as described above, to give (XXXV) ##STR57##
Hydrogenolysis when R.sub.3 is lower alkyl removes the benzyl ester group from compound XXXV to give (XXXVI) ##STR58##
Selective reduction of compound XXXVI such as by treatment with ethanethiol, ethyl-3-(3-dimethlamino)propyl carbodiimide, and dimethylaminopyridine followed by triethylsilane, palladium on carbon, and acetonitrile gives the aldehyde of the formula (XXXVII) ##STR59##
The aldehyde of formula XXXVII is then treated with the orthoformate of formula XXXII as described above and the N-protecting group P.sub.3 is removed as described above to give the starting material of formula XXIII wherein m is zero.
The hydroxy amino acid ester starting material of formula XXVII can be prepared by reacting a solution of diethyl acetamidomalonate with a stirred suspension of sodium hydride followed by reaction with a haloalkylacetate of the formula (XXXVIII) ##STR60## wherein halo is Br, I, or Cl to give the compound of the formula (XXXIX) ##STR61##
A solution of the diethyl ester of formula XXXIX is treated with sodium hydroxide and heat and then acidified and heated again to give the hydroxy amino acid of the formula (XL) ##STR62##
The hydroxy amino acid of formula XL is then treated with porcine kidney acylase or other suitable hydrolyzing enzyme to give the resolved hydroxy amino acid of the formula (XLI) ##STR63##
The hydroxy amino acid of formula XLI is then converted to the ester of formula XXVII by conventional means. For example, the hydroxy amino acid of formula XLI can be treated in methanol with trimethylsilyl chloride to give the hydrochloride salt of the methyl ester of formula XXVII.
The starting materials of formula XXII can be prepared as follows. When X is O, the hydroxy .alpha.-amino acid of the formula (XLII) ##STR64## is reacted to introduce the P.sub.1 and P.sub.2 protecting groups. For example, treatment of the acid of formula XLII with N-carbethoxyphthalimide in the presence of sodium carbonate followed by treatment with chlorotriphenylmethane and triethylamine gives the starting material of formula XXII wherein X is O, P.sub.1 together with N-atom forms a phthalimido, and P.sub.2 is trityl. Alternatively, treatment of the acid of formula XLII with N-(benzyloxycarbonyloxy)succinimide in aqueous sodium carbonate and acetone followed by treatment with t-butyldimethylsilyl chloride or an acylating agent of formula V or VI gives the starting material of formula XXII wherein X is O, P.sub.1 is benzyloxycarbonyl, and P.sub.2 is t-butyldimethylsilyl or an acyl group such as acetyl.
When X is S and n is one, N,N'-bis(phenylmethoxy)carbonyl!-L-cystine can be treated with zinc dust and aqueous sulfuric acid to give the mercaptan of the formula (XLIII) ##STR65##
The mercaptan of formula XLIII is then treated to introduce the P.sub.2 protecting group. For example, treatment of the mercaptan of formula XLIII with acetic anhydride gives the starting material of formula XXII wherein X is S, n is one, P.sub.2 is acetyl, and P.sub.1 is benzyloxycarbonyl.
When X is S and n is two, L-methionine can be protected on the N-atom. For example, reaction with benzyl chloroformate or N-(benzyloxycarbonyloxy)succinimide gives N-(phenylmethoxy)carbonyl!-L-methionine which is then esterified by treatment with an alcohol, alkyl-OH, in the presence of an acid catalyst such as p-toluenesulfonic acid. Treatment with an oxidizing agent such as N-chlorosuccinimide in aqueous solvent gives the sulfoxide of the formula (XLIV) ##STR66##
The sulfoxide of formula XLIV is then treated with an acid anhydride such as acetic anhydride to give the compound of the formula (XLV) ##STR67##
Treatment with alkali metal hydroxide, followed by the removal of formaldehyde such as by treatment with a reducing agent, for example, sodium borohydride, followed by treatment with an acid anhydride such as acetic anhydride gives the starting material of formula XXII wherein X is S, n is two, P.sub.2 is acetyl, and P.sub.1 is benzyloxycarbonyl.
The fused bicyclic ring compounds of formula III wherein Y is S or O and m is one can be prepared by coupling the N-protected amino acid of formula XXII with the amino acid ester of the formula (XLVI) ##STR68## to give the dipeptide of the formula (XLVII) ##STR69## wherein P.sub.1 and P.sub.2 are as defined previously and R.sub.3 is an acid protecting group. This coupling reaction is preferably performed in the presence of a coupling reagent such as benzotriazol-1-yloxytris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate or ethyl-3-(3-dimethylamino)propyl carbodiimide.
The P.sub.2 protecting group can be selectively removed from the intermediate of formula XLVII such as by treatment with sodium methoxide in methanol when P.sub.2 is an acyl group such as acetyl or benzoyl and treatment with an acid such as p-toluenesulfonic acid in methanol when P.sub.2 is a trityl, tetrahydropyranyl, or a hindered silyl group. The resulting product is then subjected to an acid catalyzed cyclization reaction as described above to give the intermediate of the formula (XLVIII) ##STR70##
The intermediate of formula XLVIII wherein X is S and n is two can also be prepared by treating the compound of formula XLVII wherein X is O and n is two to selectively remove the P.sub.2 group and convert the hydroxy to a mercaptan as described above followed by acid catalyzed cyclization.
The N-protecting group is then removed from the compound of formula XLVIII for example, by treatment with hydrazine monohydrate when P.sub.1 together with N atom forms a phthalimido group or by treatment with iodotrimethylsilane or palladium on carbon and ammonium formate or hydrogen when P.sub.1 is benzyloxycarbonyl to give the fused bicyclic ring compounds of formula III.
The starting material of formula XLVI wherein Y is O can be prepared by reacting the N-phthalimino protected amino acid ester of the formula (XLIX) ##STR71## with allyl trichloroacetimidate in the presence of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid to give the compound of the formula (L) ##STR72##
Treatment of the compound of formula L with ozone in methanol then dimethylsulfide followed by the orthoformate of formula XXXII in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid yields the protected compound of the formula (LI) ##STR73##
Removal of the N-protecting group such as by treatment with hydrazine hydrate yields the starting material of formula XLVI wherein Y is O.
The starting material of formula XLVI wherein Y is S can be prepared by reacting the cysteine ester of the formula (LII) ##STR74## with the bromoacetal of the formula (LIII)
in the presence of sodium hydride and potassium iodide to give the amino acid ester of the formula (LIV) ##STR75##
The compounds of formula I contain three asymmetric centers in the fused bicyclic portion of the structure with additional centers possible in the side chain. While the optically pure form of the fused bicyclic products described above is preferred, all such forms are within the scope of this invention. The above described processes can utilize racemates, enantiomers, or diastereomers as starting materials. When diastereomeric compounds are prepared, they can be separated by conventional chromatographic or fractional crystallization methods.

Suitable salts for this purpose are alkali metal salts such as sodium and potassium, alkaline earth metal salts such as calcium and magnesium, salts derived from amino acids such as arginine, lysine, etc. and salts derived from amines such as alkylamines, e.g. t-butylamine, t-amylamine, etc., substituted alkylamines, e.g. benzylamine, dialkylamines, substituted dialkylamines, e.g. N-methyl glucamine, trialkylamines, substituted trialkylamines, and quaternary ammonium salts. These salts can be obtained by reacting the acid form of the compound with a base supplying the desired ion in a medium in which the salt precipitates or in aqueous medium and then lyophilizing.
Preferred compounds of this invention are those wherein: ##STR77## R.sub.2 is hydrogen, ##STR78## or R.sub.11 --; R.sub.3 is hydrogen or lower alkyl of 1 to 4 carbons;
r is zero or one;

The compounds of formula I wherein A is ##STR81## are dual inhibitors possessing the ability to inhibit angiotensin converting enzyme and neutral endopeptidase. The compounds of formula I wherein A is ##STR82## are selective inhibitors possessing the ability to inhibit the angiotensin converting enzyme. Thus, the compounds of formula I including their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are useful in the treatment of physiological conditions in which angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors have been shown to be useful. Such conditions include disease states characterized by abnormalities in blood pressure, intraocular pressure, and renin including cardiovascular diseases particularly hypertension and congestive heart failure, glaucoma, and renal diseases such as renal failure, diabetic nephropathy, and renal impairment following treatment with cyclosporine or other immunosuppressants. Other conditions in which angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors have been reported to be useful include hepatic cirrhosis, inhibiting the progression of atherosclerosis, preventing or treating hypertensive or diabetic retinopathy, improving myocardial dysfunction during or following a myocardial infarction, and preventing restinosis after angioplasty. The dual inhibitors are also useful in the treatment of physiological conditions in which neutral endopeptidase inhibitors have been shown to be useful. Such conditions also include cardiovascular diseases particularly hypertension, hyperaldosteronemia, renal diseases, glaucoma, as well as the relief of acute or chronic pain. Thus, the compounds of formula I are useful in reducing blood pressure and the dual inhibitors of formula I are additionally useful for this purpose due to their diuresis and natriuresis properties. The dual inhibitors are particularly useful in the treatment of congestive heart failure.
The compounds of formula I including pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof can be administered for these effects in amounts similar to those employed previously for angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors. For example, the compounds of formula I can be administered to a mammalian host such as man at from about 0.1 mg. to about 100 mg. per kg. of body weight per day, preferably from about 0.5 mg. to about 25 mg. per kg. of body weight per day. The compounds of formula I are preferably administered orally but parenteral routes such as subcutaneous, intramuscular, and intravenous can also be employed as can topical routes of administration. The daily dose can be administered singly or can be divided into two to four doses administered throughout the day.
The inhibitors of formula I can be administered in combination with human ANF 99-126. Such combination would contain the inhibitor of formula I at from about 1 to about 100 mg. per kg. of body weight and the human ANF 99-126 at from about 0.001 to about 0.1 mg. per kg. of body weight.
The inhibitors of formula I can be administered in combination with other classes of pharmaceutically active compounds. For example, a diuretic, a calcium channel blocker, a potassium channel activator, a cholesterol reducing agent, a .beta.-blocker, etc.
The inhibitors of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and other pharmaceutically acceptable ingredients can be formulated for the above described pharmacetical uses. Suitable compositions for oral administration include tablets, capsules, and elixirs, and suitable compositions for parenteral administration include sterile solutions and suspensions. Suitable compositions for treating glaucoma also include topical compositions such as solutions, ointments, and solid inserts as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,442,089. About 10 to 500 mg. of active ingredient is compounded with physiologically acceptable vehicle, carrier, excipient, binder, preservative, stabilizer, flavoring, etc., in a unit dose form as called for by accepted pharmaceutical practice.

The product from part (a) (730 g, 2.2 mol) was weighed into a 5 l. 3-neck flask (equipped with a thermometer, magnetic stirrer and air cooled condenser) and diluted with absolute ethanol (300 ml) followed by the addition of aqueous 6N sodium hydroxide (1.6 l, 9.6 mol). The reaction mixture was heated at 68.degree.-70.degree. C. for 5 hours and a homogenous solution was obtained. The reaction was cooled to room temperature, and 6N hydrochloric acid (1.32 l) was added slowly to pH 1.3. The flask was equipped with a short path still head to distill off the ethanol as the temperature was slowly increased to 87.degree.-90.degree. C. and maintained at this temperature for 8.5 hours. Slow carbon dioxide evolution was observed. The total volume of distillate was 600 ml. The pH of the final solution was 3.0. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo until all of the water evaporated off and then concentrated from toluene (2.times.500 ml). The semi-solid mass was triturated with absolute ethanol (1 l), filtered, and rinsed with additional absolute ethanol (500 ml).

The pH was brought from 12.75 to 1.30 with the gradual addition of 6N hydrochloric acid solution (1150 ml, 6.9 mol), maintaining the temperature at about 25.degree. C. The mixture was heated gradually with a short distillation head until distillation and gas (carbon dioxide) evolution started (72.3.degree. C. pot temperature, 70.degree. C. head temperature) and until distillation stopped and gas evolution became very slow (94.1.degree. C. pot temperature, 50.degree. C. head temperature). Total distillate collected was 410 ml and the pot residue had a pH of 3.9. Heating was continued for another ten minutes with no additional gas evolution. Total heating time from the start of distillation was 7.5 hours.
After stirring at room temperature overnight, the clear reaction mixture (pH 3.50) was stripped in the rotary evaporator under vacuum in a 60.degree.

The mixture was stirred at 35.degree. to 36.degree. C. for 23.5 hours, The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and the pH was brought from 7.0 to 5.9 by the addition of glacial acetic acid (4.4 ml). Celite.RTM. (29 g) and charcoal (29 g) were added and the temperature was raised with stirring to 91.degree. C. The heating was removed and the mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature. The suspension was filtered through an 18.5 cm filter paper disc and the cake was thoroughly washed with water. The colorless filtrates (about 3.9 1) were concentrated in a rotary evaporator at 60.degree. C. to give 476 g of a clear, thick oil. Absolute ethanol (720 ml) was added and the mixture was stirred until it became a homogeneous crystalline suspension. The solvent was again stripped off and absolute ethanol (1584 ml) was added to the white solid residue. The suspension was rolled in the rotary evaporator at room temperature overnight (15 hours) and filtered through 18.5 cm paper.

To a solution of 2-(acetylamino)-2-4-(acetyloxy)butyl!propanedioic acid, diethyl ester 730 g, 2.2 mol, prepared as described in Example 24(a)! in absolute ethanol (300 ml) was added 6N sodium hydroxide solution (1.6 l). The reaction was heated at 70.degree.-75.degree. C. for 5 hours, then at 90.degree. to 95.degree. C. to distill off most of the ethanol. The reaction was cooled and acidified to pH 1.3 using 6N hydrochloric acid (about 1.3 l), then heated at 90.degree.-100.degree. C. to achieve decarboxylation. Upon completion, the crude reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature.
The above crude reaction mixture was heated to 35.degree. C. and treated with about 600 ml of 6N sodium hydroxide followed by 1N sodium hydroxide to adjust to pH of 7.5 (final volume was about 5.3 l). To this mixture was added 0.6 g of porcine kidney acylase I. After stirring overnight at 35.degree. C. the pH was 7.25. The pH was adjusted to 7.5 and an additional 300 mg of acylase was added. After stirring overnight, the reaction appeared to be about 90% complete. The reaction mixture was next treated with 20 g of charcoal and 20 g of Celite.RTM., then heated to 85.degree. C. and maintained at that temperature for 10 minutes, then cooled to 50.degree. C. and filtered. At this point, the total volume of the filtrate was about 4.9 l. The filtrate was cooled to 5.degree. C. and solid sodium carbonate was added to adjust the pH to 9.3. N-Carbethoxyphthalimide (263.04 g, 1.2 mol) was added in one portion and sodium carbonate was added as needed to keep the pH at 9.3. After 2 hours at 5.degree. C. followed by 3 hours at room temperature, the pH dropped to 8.5 and most of the reagents had dissolved. The reaction mixture was filtered, cooled to 5.degree. C. and acidified to pH 2.3 with 6N hydrochloric acid. The precipitated solid was collected by filtration and washed with 200 ml of cold water, then dried in vacuo to yield 220 g of title product.
