| abstract |
The invention relates to a method for producing optionally substituted {N-[1-(S)-carbalkoxy-3-phenylpropyl]-S-alanyl-2S, 3aR, 7aS-octahydroindol-2-carboxylic acid} and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. To this end, a racemic mixture of optionally substituted trans-octahydroindol-2-carboxylic acid is reacted with the N-carboxyanhydride of {N-[1-(S)-alkoxycarbonyl-3-phenylpropyl]-L-alanine}, which is optionally substituted on the phenyl ring, in an appropriate inert solvent, and the obtained optionally substituted {N-[1-(S)-carbalkoxy-3-phenylpropyl]-S-alanyl-2S, 3aR, 7aS-octahydroindol-2-carboxylic acid}, preferably trandolapril, is subsequently isolated, as well as polymorphous forms A and B of trandolapril. |
