For example, compounds of formula (I) in which X represents CH2-CH2 may be prepared from the corresponding compounds of formula (I) in which X represents CH=CH or C≡C by hydrogenation The hydrogenation may be effected in the presence of a transition metal catalyst, such as Raney Nickel, or a palladium, platinum or rhodium catalyst Conveniently the reaction is effected in a solvent, such as an alcohol (e g ethanol)
Alternatively, hydrogenation may be effected chemically, for example, by using dnmide Conveniently the dnmide is generated in situ from a suitable salt, such as diazenedicarboxylic acid, dipotassium salt, and the reaction is effected in the presence of an acid, such as acetic aαd, and a solvent, such as an alcohol (e g methanol)
A further embodiment of process (C) is conversion of a compound of formula
(I) or protected derivative thereof wherein ring B is unsubstituted (ie -L-R° is hydrogen) to a substituted analogue For example
(a) reaction of a compound of formula (I) or a protected derivative wherein
-L-R° is hydrogen with a d-io alkyl halide or an optionally substituted benzyl or phenethyl halide in the presence of a base, such as sodium hydride, in a polar solvent, such as N,N-dιmethyl formamide, to afford a compound of formula (I) wherein -L-R° is Ci-io alkyl, or optionally substituted benzyl respectively Similarly, reaction with an acid halide or sulphonyl halide will provide a compound of formula (I) wherein L is C(O) or S(0)2 respectively and reaction with the appropriate isocyanate will provide a compound of formula (I) wherein L is CONH
(b) a compound of formula (I) wherein -L-R° is Ci-e alkoxycarbonyl may be converted to a compound of formula (I) wherein -L-R° is hetaryl, for example oxadiazolyl This conversion may be effected via the corresponding hydrazide via reaction with triethyl ortho acetate, and then cyclisation.
(c) a compound of formula (I) or a protected derivative thereof wherein -L-R° is C1.5 alkoxycarbonyl may be converted to the corresponding amide by reaction with the appropriate amine
As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art it may be necessary or desirable at any stage in the above described processes to protect one or more sensitive groups in the molecule to prevent undesirable side reactions.
Another process (D) for preparing compounds of formula (I) thus comprises deprotectmg a compound of formula (V)
wherein Z
1 is quinuclidinyl,
ring system AB, X, and Y are as defined for formula (I), and P' is a carboxyl group or a protected carboxyl group and P" is hydrogen or an amino protecting group, provided that when P' is a carboxyl group, P" is not hydrogen, and when Z
1 is quinuclidinyl P is a protected carboxyl group
Compounds of formula (V) may be prepared by processes (A), (B) or (C) as described above
Alternatively, compounds of formula (V) wherein Y is hydrogen may be prepared by reacting a compound of formula (VI)
or a protected derivative thereof, with a compound of formula (VII)
L,^v (VII)
wherein Z, X and ring system AB are as hereinbefore defined, L2 is a leaving group, for example, chloro, bromo, iodo, or mesylate, and P1 is a protected carboxyl group.
Suitably, the reaction is carried out in the presence of an inorganic base, for example, a bicarbonate, such as sodium bicarbonate; in a polar solvent, for example, N,N-dimethylformamide, at a non-extreme, suitably ambient, temperature.
In a particular embodiment of process (D), compounds of formula (I) may be prepared from protected carboxyl derivatives of compounds of formula (I), ie. compounds of formula (I) wherein P' is a protected carboxyl group. In a further embodiment of this process, compounds of formula (I) may be prepared from protected amino derivatives of compounds of formula (I), ie. compounds of formula (V) wherein P" is an amino protecting group.
The protecting groups used in the preparation of compounds of formula (I) may be used in conventional manner. See, for example, those described in 'Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis' by Theodora W. Green, second edition, (John Wiley and Sons, 1991 ), which also describes methods for the removal of such groups.
Particular protected carboxyl groups include, for example, carboxylic acid ester groups such as carboxylic acid alkyl or aralkyl esters, for example where the alkyl or aralkyl portion of the ester function is methyl, ethyl, tert-butyl, methoxymethyl, benzyl, diphenylmethyl, triphenylmethyl or p-nitrobenzyl. When the ester is an unbranched alkyl (e.g. methyl) ester deprotection may be effected under conditions of either basic hydrolysis, for example using lithium hydroxide, or acidic hydrolysis, for example using hydrochloric acid. Tert-butyl and triphenylmethyl ester groups may be removed under conditions of acid
hydrolysis, for example using formic or tπfluoroacetic acid at room temperature or using hydrochloric acid in acetic acid Benzyl, diphenylmethyl and nitrobenzyl ester groups may be removed by hydrogenolysis in the presence of a metal catalyst (e g palladium) Particular ammo protecting groups include, for example, aralkyl groups such as benzyl, diphenylmethyl or triphenylmethyl groups, and acyl groups such as N-benzyloxycarbonyl, t-butoxycarbonyl or tπfluoroacetyl groups
When a particular isomeric form of a compound of formula (I) is desired the required isomer may conveniently be separated using preparative high performance liquid chromatography (h p I c ) applied to the final title compounds of processes (A) to (D) above or applied prior to any final deprotection step in said processes
Compounds of formula (II) and (III), or protected derivatives thereof, may be prepared using any appropriate methods, such as those described in the examples

Biological Data
1. Human Washed Platelets Assay
Inhibition of platelet aggregation by compounds of the invention was determined according to the following procedure. Citrated whole blood (1 part 3.δ% w/v trisodium citrate; 9 parts blood) was obtained from human volunteers, free of medication for at least 10 days prior to donation. The blood was treated with aspirin (0.1 mM) and prostacyclin (0.06μM) prior to centrifugation (1400g, 4 minutes, 20°C). The supernatant platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was isolated and further centrifuged (1400g, 10 minutes, 20°C) to sediment the platelets. The supernatant was discarded and the platelet pellet resuspended into a physiological salt solution (HEPES 5mM, NaHC03 12mM, NaCl 140mM, KH2P04 0.74mM, D-Glucose 5.6mM and KCI 2.82mM) adjusted to pH 6.4. This platelet suspension was centrifuged (1400g, 8 minutes, 20°C) and the resultant platelet pellet was resuspended into the physiological salt solution adjusted to pH 7.4. The resultant washed-platelet preparation was diluted to give a final platelet count of 3x108/l. Purified human fibrinogen (Knight, L.C. et al, 1981 Thromb. Haemostasis, 46, (3), 593-596), Ca2+ and Mg2+ were added back to the washed platelet preparation to give final concentrations of 0.5mg/rnl, 1 mM and
0.5mM respectively. Platelet aggregation was quantified using a turbidometric method. Test compounds were incubated with the washed platelets (37°C) for 5 minutes prior to the addition of 1μM of the platelet aggregatory agonist U-46619 (a stable thromboxane A2-mimetic). The inhibitory potency of the test compounds was expressed as an IC50 value, which is defined as the concentration of the compound required to inhibit platelet aggregation by 50%. The following IC50 values were obtained for compounds of the invention:
