摘要

The present invention relates to a process for preparing pentanoic diacid derivatives useful for preparing pyrimidine derivatives, in particular as intermediates useful for preparing pyrimidine derivatives of a class that is effective at inhibiting the biosynthesis of cholesterol in humans, such as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, e.g. rosuvastatin.
