Participants

Reaction Steps

The first step of Method-I consists of condensation of N-[1(S)-carboethoxy-3-phenylpropyl]-(S)-alanine (III) with the para-toluene sulfonate salt of the benzyl ester of (S)-1,2,3,4-Tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (IV) to give the benzyl ester of (S, S, S)-2-{2-{(1-ethoxycarbonyl)-3-phenylpropyl)amino]-1-oxopropyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-isoquinoline carboxylic acid or quinapril benzyl ester which is isolated as the maleic acid salt (V).
