Description

This invention relates to a process for the resolution of racemates of optically active bicyclic imino-a-carboxylic esters, and the use of the compounds thus obtainable for the synthesis of carboxyalkyldipeptides.
The resolution of racemates of aminoacids via crystallization of diastereomeric salts is a widely used 4 , process (Review: Boyle, Quart. RcVo 25 (1971) 323)O Usually, N-acylated aminoacids are employed, the salts # with alkaloid bases are crystallized, and the homogeneous diastereomeric salts are decomposed by, for example, extraction of the N-acy l-aminoacids from the acidified solution (J. Amere Chem. Soc„ 71 ¢1949) 2541, 3251). It is also possible to carry out the converse process and to crystallize aminoacid esters or amides with optically active acids (Chemo Ber« 86 (1953) 1524).
Optically active compounds, such as 10-camphorsulfonic acid, abietic acid or tartaric acid or their 0derivatives, for example, are used for this purpose. This procedure is particularly appropriate when the intention is to employ optically active aminoacid esters as starting compounds for further $ynthesesD In this case, it is not advantageous initially to prepare a N-acyt compound and then undertake resolution of the racemate via salt formation with optically active bases, split off the acyl radical and then esterify the free aminoacid.
A process suitable for bicyclic imino-a-carboxylic I? esters has not hitherto been described. It emerged from experimental tests that all customary acids are unsuitable - 3 for resolution of the racemates, A process is known, from European Patent A 37,231, for octahydroindole-2-carboxylic acid, using which the N-benzoyl compound of the racemate can be resolved via the salt with optically active cc~ phenyIethyI amine„ However, for the reasons mentioned, this process is uneconomic when the esters are required as intermediates for further syntheses» It has now been found, surprisingly, that N-acyl derivatives of optically active R- or S-aminoacids which contain a phenyl nucleus, such as, for example, S-phenylalaninc, tyrosine or tyrosine 0-derivatives are suitable as chiral partners for bicyclic imiηο-α-carboxylie esters^ This is because the 15 and (R,S)-$alts remain in solution. It is possible, in just a single step, to achieve a greater than 95 per cent enrichment, and a single recrystallization leads to the optically homogeneous salts in high yield, and these are decomposed in a known manner.
Thus the invention relates to a process for resolving racemic mixtures of bicyclic imiηο-α-carboxyIic esters into the components of the formulae Ia and lb fe In which R represents an aliphatic radical having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an alicyclic radical having 4 to 10 carbon atoms, an aromatic radical having 6 to 12 carbon atoms or an araliphatic radical having 7 to 15 carbon atoms, a) A and each denote hydrogen, and B and C together form a chain of the formula -CCH23n~«> with n being 3, 4, 5 or 6, or a chain of the formula -CCH23p-CH=CH-CCH23q-, «ith (p+q) being 1, 2, 3 or 4, b) C and each denote hydrogen, and A and together form a chain of the formula -CCH23n", with n being 3, 4, 5 or 6, or a chain of the formula -ECH2:ip-CH=CH-CCH2:iq-, with (p+q) being 1,2,3 or 4, or c) A and C each denote hydrogen, and and together form a chain of the formula with m being 4, 5, 6 or 7, by crystallization of diastereomeric salts, which process comprises preparing the salts of the racetnic esters with optically active N-acylated R- or S-aminocarboxylic acids which contain a phenyl nucleus, selected from phenylalanine, phenylglycine, β-pheny1-a-aminobutyric acid, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine, β-phenylserine and tyrosine, and whose possibly present free OH-groups are optionally O-alkylated by alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, benzyl or other OHprotecting group customary in peptide chemistry, recrystallizing them from an aprotic organic solvent or an alcohol having up to 6 carbon atoms, decomposing the precipitated, optically homogeneous diastereomeric salts in a manner known per se, and isolating the enantiomers of the formulae Ia and lb and, where appropriate, converting the Latter into the froe acids by hydrolysis or hydrogenolysis in a manner knoan per se.
Resolution of racemates of compounds of the formula Za and Zb In which a) A and B^ each denote hydrogen, and B^ and C together form a chain of the formula -CCH23n"z with n being 3, 4, 5 or 6, or a chain of the formula -CCH23p-CH=CH-CCHjlq’ with (p+q) being 1, 2, 3 or 4, or b) C and B2 denote hydrogen, and A and together form one of the chains defined above under a) is preferred.
A particularly preferred variant of the process comprises precipitating, preferably as crystals, the salts of racemic bicyclic esters of the formulae Za and Zb 1n which the two bridgehead hydrogen atoms have the cis configuration and the COOR group Is oriented endo with respect to the bicyclic ring system» Particularly suitable imino-oe-carboxylic esters are esters with aliphatic, alicyclic or araliphatic alcohols, which can be cleaved by hydrogenolysis or hydrolysis, as are described in, for example, Houben-Weyl, Methoden der organischen Chemie (Methods of Organic Chemistry), Volume XV/1, Stuttgart 1974, on pages 314-427, or Peptide Synthesis'1, by Bodanszky et 3.1., 2nd edition (1976), John Wiley & Sons. Esters of the formula la + Zb in which R represents alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl having 4 to 8 carbon atoms or aralkyl having 7 to 13 carbon atoms, uhich can optionally be substituted by N02, are preferred, in particular alkyl esters having up to 4 alkyl ™ 6 carbon atoms and aralkyl esters, such as benzyl, nitrobenzyl or benzhydryl esters,, Examples of suitable N-acylated aminocarboxyIic acids containing a phenyl nucleus are derivatives of R- or S-phenyLalanine, -C-phenylglycine, -β-phenyΙ-α-aminobutyric acid, .-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine', -β-phenylserine and -tyrosine* N-Acyl derivatives of R- or S-phenylalanine, ri -C-phenylglycine and -tyrosine are preferred,* The N-acyl protective groups which can be used are * the customary NH2 protective groups described in, for example, Houben-Weyl, Volume XV/1, pages 46-305 or Bodanszky et al., Peptide Synthesis", 2nd edition (1976), John UiLey & Sons,, Alkanoyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, in particular formyl, terto-butoxycarbonyl, and benzyloxycarbonyl are preferred. Any free OH groups present can, where appropriate, be O-alkylated by alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, in particular methyl, ethyl or tert.-butyl, by benzyl or by other OH protective groups customary in peptide chemistry (cf. for example Houben-Ueyl, Volume XV/1 or Bodans2ky et al., Peptide Synthesis, 2nd edition (1976), John Miley & Sons)» Suitable and preferred solvents are aprotic organic solvents, such as, for example, esters, ethyl acetate, cyclohexane and tetrahydrofuran, but it is also possible to use alcohols having up to 6 carbon atoms* Octahydroindole-2-carboxylic acid is known from * ILS.

Preferred 0-protective groups for tyrosine are methyl or ethyl.
In the procedures hitherto known for preparing mixtures of stereoisomers of compounds of the formulae Ila or lib, which started from mixtures of stereoisomers, it was necessary to use elaborate separating procedures to separate the reaction mixture in order to obtain the desired optically pure stereoisomers of the formula Ila or Ilbo By reacting the optically homogeneous imino-a-carboxylic esters of the formulae Ia or Ib according to the invention with optically homogeneous compounds of the formula III, specific synthesis of optically homogeneous compounds of the formula Ila or lib has become possible.
The desired compounds of the formulae Ila or lib are obtained in high yields without using elaborate separating techniques.
Compounds of the formula III are described in the abovementioned documents or are known from European Patent A 46,953, The reaction of a compound of the formula III with tert.-butyl 1-<2a,3ap,7a3)-octahydro-C1H3-indole-2carboxylate followed by elimination of a tert.-butytester, whereupon a correspond!ng octahydroindo le derivative of the formula lib results, is known from European Patent A 37,231» However, it has been necessary to restrict this reaction to reaction of a compound of the formula Ia or Ib with C and each being H and A + being (CH2>^, and it has hitherto only been possible to prepare this in a complicated manner via the N-benzoyl compound, crystallization of the diastereomeric salts with S-a-phenylethylamine, liberation of the N-benzoyl compound, elimination of the benzoyl group and esterification.
It has* not hitherto been possible to transfer this reaction sequence to the intermediates of the formula la and lb according to the invention. Nor has it been possible to resolve racemic mixtures of compounds of the formula IIa and lib by separating conventional diastereomeric salts with optically active carboxylic or sulfonic acids. The compounds of the formula Ia and lb have been made accessible for subsequent reactions for the first time by the procedure described above» The process according to the invention is particularly cost-effective, since compounds of the formula III can be prepared directly in an optically pure form by straightforward routes from German Patent Application DE-A-3 226 768» However, in this reference, it was still necessary for these intermediates to be reacted with a racemic aminoacid and to be converted into an opticalLy pure compound of the general formulae IIa and lib by an additional purification step.
The process according to the invention, which is preferably carried out with S,$ compounds of the formula III, thus represents by far the most cost-effective process for the preparation of the compounds covered since, in all the other known procedures, great losses have to be accepted due to the chromatography or crystallization of mixtures of stereoisomers, some of which are complex» The condensation step is carried out by one of the conventional processes of peptide synthesis which involve little racemization, such as are described in, for example, Houben-Weyl, Volume XV, or in The Peptides - Analysis, Synthesis, Biology, Vol.1 Major Methods of Peptide Bond Formation, Part A, Gross, Meierhofer, Academic Press Ν®Υ.

Ber» 103 (1979), pages 788-798, is particularly advantageous» In this context, it should be taken into account that reactive functional groups in the radical R^ must be temporarily pro tected by the known methods of peptide chemistry (for example Houben-Weyl, Volume XV, or Bodanszky et a£» in Peptide Synthesis, 2nd edition (1976), John Wiley fi Sons) The optically homogeneous compounds of the formula Ila or lib are obtained, after eliminating R and, where appropriate, R^, in high yield in a manner known per se without using elaborate separating techniques» The compounds of the formula Ila and lib and their salts have long-lasting and powerful hypotensive activity. They are potent inhibitors of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and can be employed to control high blood pressure of a variety of etiologies. ACE inhibitors of this type are known from, for example, U.S. Patent 4,344,949, European Patent A 49,658, European Patent A 46,953, European Patent A 50,800 and European Patent A 79,022.
It is also possible to combine them with other compounds having hypotensive, vasodilator or diuretic activity. Typical representatives of these classes of active compounds are described in, for example, ErhardtRuschig, Arzneimittel (Drugs), 2nd edition, Meinhein, 1972» They can be administered intravenously, subcutaneously or ora I Ly.
The dosage on oral administration is generally 1-500 mg, preferably 1-100 mg, per single dose for an adult patient of normal weight» Zt is also possible to increase this in severe cases, since no toxic properties have hitherto been observed. It is also possible to reduce the dose and this is particularly appropriate when diuretics are administered concurrentLy.
The compounds according to the invention can be administered orally or parenterally in appropriate pharmaceutical formulations» For a form for oral use, the active compounds are mixed with the additives customary for this purpose, such as vehicles, stabilizers or inert diluents, and converted by customary methods into suitable forms for administration, such as tablets, coated tablets, hard gelatin capsules, aqueous, alcohol or oily suspensions or aqueous, alcohol or oily solutions. Examples of suitable inert vehicles which can be used are gum arabic, magnesium carbonate, potassium phosphate, lactose, glucose or starch, in particular corn starch.. This can entail formulation either as dry or as moist granules. ExampLes of suitable oily vehicles or solvents are vegetable or animal oils, such as sunflower oil or fish liver oil.
For subcutaneous or intravenous administration, the active compounds or their physiologically tolerated - 21 salts are converted into a solution, suspension or emulsion, where appropriate with the substances customary for this purpose, such as solubilizers, emulsifiers or other auxiliaries. Examples of suitable solvents for the new active compounds and the corresponding physiologically tolerated salts are: water, physiological saline or alcohols, for example ethanol, propanediol or glycerol, but also sugar solutions, such as glucose or mannitol solutions, or even a mixture of the various solvents or solutions mentioned.
