Reaction Steps

The synthesis of this compound is carried out as described in Example 1 except that, in Step A, the 1-chloro-4-acetoxynonane is replaced by an equimolar amount of 1-chloro-4-acetoxy-5,5-dimethylnonane (Example G). The product of Step A is thus ethyl 7-[N-(4-acetoxy-5,5-dimethylnonyl)cyanamido]heptanoate. The subsequent steps yield 7-[N-(4-hydroxy-5,5-dimethylnonyl)cyanamido]heptanoic acid (B) and 7-[1-(4-hydroxy-5,5-dimethylnonyl)ureido]heptanoic acid (C).
