PROCESSES FOR THE PREPARATION OF OXYTOCIN ANALOGUES

摘要

The invention comprises a novel process for the preparation of Oxytocin analogues of the formula (I), wherein R1 is hydrogen or C1-7-alkyl and R 2 is hydrogen or C1-7-alkyl; or R1 and R2 together with the nitrogen and the carbon atom to which they are attached form a 5-membered heterocyle which is optionally substituted with hydroxy or halogen; R3 is C1-7-alkyl. Oxytocin analogues of the formula I act as oxytocin receptor agonists and have the potential to be used for the treatment of neurological disorders.
