This invention is directed to methods for the preparation of [1S-[1a,2b,3b,4a(S*)]]-4-[7-[[1-(3-chloro-2-thienyl) methyl]propyl]amino]-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-3-yl]-N-ethyl-2,3-dihydroxyc yclopentanecarboxamide, methods for the preparation of intermediates thereto, and to said intermediates themselves.

Preparation of

This invention relates to di[(1 R)-(-)-camphosulfonic acid) salt of [1S-[1.alpha.,2.beta.,3.beta.,4.alpha.,(S*)]]-4-[7-[[2-(3-chloro-2-thienyl )-1-ethylethyl]amino]3 H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-3-yl]-N-ethyl-2,3-dihydroxycyclopentanecarboxamide , and a process for preparing the compound, comprising reacting a reaction mixture of (-)-1.beta.-N-ethyl-2.alpha.,3.alpha.-isopropylidenedioxy-4.beta.-[3-amino -4-[2-(5-chloro-2-thienyl)-(1R)-1-ethylethyl]amino-2-pyridyl]aminocyclopent anecarboxamide and formamidine acetate, and then treating the reaction mixture with (1 R)-(-)-10-camphorsulfonic acid. The salt is useful in purifying [1 S-[1.alpha.,2.beta.,3.beta.,4.alpha.,(S*)]]-4-[7-[[2-(3-chloro-2-thienyl)- 1-ethylethyl]amino]-3 H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-3-yl]-N-ethyl-2,3-dihydroxycyclopentanecarboxamide which possesses adenosine agonist activity and is useful as an anti-hypertensive, cardioprotective, anti-ischemic, and antilipolytic agent.

DI (1R)-(-)camphosulfonic acid) salt, preparation thereof and use thereof

Disclosed is a process for the preparation of 2-aryl-1-cyclohexene-1-carboxaldehydes from 1-arylcyclohexenes which are intermediates for trans-6-[(2-arylsubstituted cycloalkenyl and substituted cycloalkyl)alkenyl and alkyl]-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-ones.
