<p>Pharmaceutically active carboxyalkyl dipeptides such as enalapril, lisinopril and the like, are prepared from a starting amino acid such as L-alanine, by protecting the acid function of the amino acid with an alkyl silyl protecting group, while it is reacted with an alpha -halo ester, at its amino function. Subsequently, the silyl protectant is removed, and the acid group is reacted with the amino function of an appropriate amino acid such as L-proline, to form the dipeptide product.</p> |
