In the above reaction scheme, R5 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atom, and R6 and R7 each represents an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atom.
That is, the compound (II) is oxidized in the presence of a solvent, such as dichloromethane, using a chromic anhydride-pyridine complex at a temperature of about 0C to 60C to obtain the compound (III).
The compound (III) is reacted with a metal alcoholate in an alcohol solvent to obtain the compound (IV). The compound (IV) is dissolved in a solvent, such as a mixed . solvent of dichloromethane and carbon tetrachloride, and then reacted with hexamethylphosphorus triamide [P(NMe2)3]
at a low temperature, preferably -40C or lower, to obtain the compound (V). The compound (V) is dissolved in a solvent or a mixture of solvents, for example, a mixture of dichloromethane and acetone, and reacted wi-th an alkali thio-organic acid, for example, potassium thioacetate (C~3COSK), to obtain the compound (VI)~ The compound (VI) is reacted with an alkali hydroxide in the presence of a solvent, such as dioxane, to hydrolyze the S-acetyl group and alkoxycarbonyl group and then the hydrolysate is reacted with an organic acid anhydride such as acetic anhydride, and triethylamine to acylate the SH group thereby obt.aining the compound (VII).

'~

L~Lo~i The compound (VII) -thus obtained is then condensed with an alanyl-isoglutamine alk~l ester to obtain the desired compound of the formula (I) wherein Rl and R2 are bonded together to form an alkylidène group; R3 is an acyl group; and R4 is an alkyl group.
The above condensation reaction can be carried out by methods commonly employed for peptide syntheses, i.e., carbodiimide method, eintops method, active ester method, acid anhydride method and the like. For example, the compound (VII) is dissolved in a solvent such as dioxane, and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and N-hydroxysuccinic acid imide or l-hydroxybenzotriazole are added to the solution at about 0C to 60C to form an active ester of the compound (~II). To the resulting reaction mixture is added an L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine alkyl ester at about 0C
to 60C to obtain the above-described compound (I).
The S-acyl group of the compound (I) thus obtained can be converted into a free SH group by reacting the compound (I) with a metal alcoholate in an alcoholic solution at about 0C to room tempera~ure, followed by neutralization with a cation exchange resin, etc.
The thus obtained SH-compound may be converted into an S-acylated compound by reacting with an acyl halide in a solvent, such as dichloromethane, in the presence of an acid acceptor such as pyridine, at about -10C to 50C.

$ L~ O~

Further, the S~alkylated compound can be obtained by reacting the above S-acylated compound with a sodium alcoholate in an alcohol and, without conducting neutralization, the resulting product is then xeacted with an alkyl halide at 0 to 40C. The alkylidene group can be released by reacting with a 50 - 90% aqueous solution of acetic acid at room temperature to 100C. The conversion of the alkoxycarbonyl group to a carboxyl group can be accomplished by reacting with an aqueous alkali hydroxide solution in an alcoholic solution at 0 to room temperature and then neutralizing with a cation exchange resin, etc.
The present in~ention will now be described in greater detail with reference to examples but the scope of the invention is not limited thereto. Unless otherwise indicated, a mixture of solvents is by volume.
Example (1) 164.7 mg of chromic anhydride and 0.25 ml of pyridine were added to 5 ml of dichloromethane and the mixture was stirred for 15 minutes. To the resulting mixture were added 180 mg of benzyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy~
4,6-O-isopropylidine-3-~-[D-l-(methoxycarbonyl)ethyl] a-D-glucopyranoside (compound II) dissolved in 3 ml of dichloromethane and then 0.16 ml of acetic anhydride.
