Abstract
There is provided an improved process for producing novel compounds represented by the general formula: ##STR1## wherein the ring A/ represents a pyrrole ring which may be hydrogenated; X represents an amino, hydroxyl or mercapto group; R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 each, being the same as or different from the other, represents hydrogen or an alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl group which may be substituted; R.sup.4 represents OR.sup.5 wherein R.sup.5 represents hydrogen or a hydrocarbon group which may be substituted or NHCH(COOR.sup.6)CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 COOR.sup.7 wherein R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 each represents hydrogen or a hydrocarbon group which may be substituted; and n represents an integer of 1 to 4, or a salt thereof from compounds represented by the general formula: ##STR2## wherein X, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and n are the same as defined above; Y.sup.1 and Y.sup.2 each represents oxygen or sulfur atom; R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 each, being the same as or different from the other, represents a hydrocarbon group which may be substituted, or salts thereof by an intramolecular ring closure reaction to form a pyrrolopyrimidine ring and, if necessary, reducing pyrrole ring thus formed to pyrroline ring. The compounds are useful as antitumor agents.
