Abstract
An improved process for the preparation of trans-6-[2-(substituted-pyrrole-1-yl)alkyl]pyran-2-ones by a novel synthesis is described where .alpha.-metalated N,N-disubstituted acetamide is converted in seven operations to the desired products, and specifically, a process for preparing (2R-trans)-5-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(1-methylethyl)-N,4-diphenyl-1-[2-(tetrahy dro-4-hydroxy-6-oxo-2H-pyran-2-yl)ethyl]-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxamide, as well as other valuable intermediates used in the processes and prodrugs which are bioconverted to hypolipidemic and hypocholesterolemic agents and pharmaceutical compositions of the same.
