Abstract

A process for the preparation of a compound of formula (A): ##STR1## wherein X is hydrogen, hydroxy, chloro, C.sub.1-6 alkoxy or phenyl C.sub.1-6 alkoxy and R.sub.a and R.sub.b are hydrogen, including acyl and phosphate derivatives thereof; which process comprises: PA0 i) the preparation of a compound of formula (I): ##STR2## wherein R.sub.1 is C.sub.1-6 alkyl, or phenyl C.sub.1-6 alkyl in which the phenyl group is optionally substituted; R.sub.2 is hydrogen, hydroxy, chlorine, C.sub.1-6 alkoxy, phenyl C.sub.1-6 alkoxy or amino; and R.sub.3 is halogen, C.sub.1-6 alkylthio, C.sub.1-6 alkylsulphonyl, azido, an amino group or a protected amino group, which process comprises the reaction of a compound of formula (II): ##STR3## with a compound of formula (VII): ##STR4## wherein Q is a leaving group, J is hydrogen or halo and R.sub.1 is as hereinbefore defined; to give a compound of formula (VIII): ##STR5## followed by reduction of the compound of formula (VIII) to give a compound of formula (I) as hereinbefore defined; and, as necessary or desired, interconverting variables R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 to further values of R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 ; PA0 (ii) the conversion of the re…
