<p>A process for the preparation of a compound of formula (A) wherein: X is hydrogen, hydroxy, chloro, C1-6 alkoxy or phenyl C1-6 alkoxy; and Ra and Rb are hydrogen, or acyl or phosphate derivatives thereof, which process comprises: (i) the preparation of a compound of formula (I) wherein R1 is C1-6 alkyl, or phenyl C1-6 alkyl in which the phenyl group is optionally substituted; R2 is hydrogen, hydroxy, chlorine, C1-6 alkoxy, phenyl C1-6 alkoxy or amino; and R3 is halogen, C1-6 alkylthio, C1-6 alkylsulphonyl, azido, an amino group or a protected amino group, which preparation comprises the reaction of a compound of formula (II), wherein R2 and R3 are as defined for formula (I) with a compound of formula (V) wherein L is a leaving group and R1 is as defined for formula (I), to give a compound of formula (VI), and thereafter converting the intermediate compound of formula (VI) to a compound of formula (I) via decarboxylation, and, as necessary or desired, interconverting variables R1, R2 and R3 to further values of R1, R2 and R3; (ii) the conversion of the resulting compound of formula (I) to a compound of formula (A) by converting variable R3, when other than amino, to amino, reducing the ester groups CO2R1 to CH2OH and optionally forming acyl or phosphate derivatives thereof, and as necessary or desired converting variable R2 in the compound of formula (I) to variable X in the compound of formula (A); characterised in that R2 is chloro in formula (I).</p> |
