Sodium salt of disaccharide compound, production method and use of same

In the present invention, the methods of producing a fluorinated cyclic benzamidine derivative (A), or a salt thereof, comprise the step of reacting a specific novel compound with ammonia or imide. The methods of this invention for producing a morpholine-substituted phenacyl derivative (B), or a salt thereof, comprise reaction of a specific novel compound with morpholine, reaction of the product with a halogenating reagent, and deketalization of the product. The methods of this invention for a producing cyclic benzamidine derivative (C), or a salt thereof, comprise the step of coupling compound (A), or a salt thereof, with compound (B), or a salt thereof, in the presence of an ether or a hydrocarbon. The methods of this invention for recrystallizing a cyclic benzamidine derivative (C), or a salt thereof, comprise the steps of dissolving compound (C), or the salt thereof, in a mixed solvent comprising an alcohol and water, or a mixed solvent comprising an ether and water, and after dissolution, adding additional water to precipitate crystals of compound (C), or the salt thereof.

Methods for producing cyclic benzamidine derivatives

The present invention provides an industrially advantageous process for preparing a 2-alkyl-3-(biphenyl-4-yl)methyl-3H-imidazo�4,5-b!pyridine derivative represented by the following formula (II) which is a precursor of an antagonist against an angiotensin II receptor useful as an antihypertensive drug, a biphenyl derivative which is a precursor of the substituent of the pyridine derivative, a process for the preparation thereof, and an intermediate useful for the preparation of the biphenyl derivative: ##STR1## The 2-alkyl-3-(biphenyl-4-yl)methyl-3H-imidazo�4,5-b!pyridine derivative can be prepared in a high yield according to the present invention from a 2-amino-5-halogeno-3-nitropyridine derivative through amidation, N-alkylation and reductive cyclization. The halogen atom introduced at the 5-position as a protective group against nitration can be eliminated simultaneously in the step which is conducted thereafter. Thus, this process is industrially advantageous. Further, the biphenyl derivative of the present invention is excellent in reactivity and purity of the product, thus being an intermediate suitable for the industrial production.
