Abstract

The glycinamide of the formula ##STR1## is reacted with the dioxolane of the formula ##STR2## wherein L is a leaving group such as iodo, bromo, alkylsulfonyloxy, or arylsulfonyloxy to give the dioxolane of the formula ##STR3## Treating the dioxolane of formula III under aqueous refluxing conditions followed by exchanging the dioxolane acetal with a dimethoxy acetal and introduction of the methyl ester gives (S)-2-amino-6,6-dimethoxyhexanoic acid, methyl ester which is an intermediate in the preparation of the dual inhibitor [4S-[4.alpha.(R*),7.alpha., 10a.beta.]]-)octahydro-4-[(2-mercapto-1-oxo-3-phenylpropy)-amino]-5-oxo-7H -pyrido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazepine-7-carboxylic acid. Also disclosed are storage stable salts of (S)-2-amino-6,6-dimethoxyhexanoic acid, methyl ester.
