A novel process and intermediates for the preparation of 5-amino-4-hydroxyvaleric acid derivatives of the formula …<IMAGE>… in which R<1> represents hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkyl(lower alkyl), aryl, aryl(lower alkyl) or the radical of a natural amino acid, R<2> represents hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkyl(lower alkyl), aryl, aryl(lower alkyl), amino, hydroxyl, mercapto, sulphinyl, sulphonyl or the radical of a natural amino acid and R<3> represents optionally substituted hydroxyl or amino, by sigmatropic rearrangement of a suitable allyl ester, halolactonisation of the gamma , delta -unsaturated acid obtainable or a suitable derivative thereof, replacement of halogen by a nitrogen-containing nucleophile, lactone ring-opening and liberation of the amino group. Compounds of the formula I are starting substances for the preparation of renin inhibitors having anti-hypertensive activity. |
