The compound VI is then reac~ed with ammon1a in an inert solvent or w;thout a d;luent a1: a temperature between 10 100 and 250C, preFerably in an autoclave, to g;ve the eompound VII. The latter ;s then dehydrc)~enated usincJ a dehydrogena~;on eatalyst, such as pallad;um-on-charcoal~
to give the compound II.
The cenpoundc of the for!nula III which are used as 1S starting materials are known.
It can be seen from the formula I that the colnpounds aeeord;ng to the invention eonta1r at least one eenter of asymmetry in the ~-position in relat;on to the o~y~en atom, prov;ded that R1 does not denote hydrogen. The racema~es of the Formula I which can be obtained if raeemic eompounds of the formula III are used, can be resolved into the;r optieal ant;podes in a eustomary manner. Th~s compounds of the formula I in wh;ch R2 denotes COOH ean be trea~ed us;ng an optically active base. The optieal antipodes of 2~ compounds of the formula I are obtained in an advantageous manner if the startil1g mater;als of the formula IJX are already optically active.
