Abstract

The present invention is directed to a process for the preparation of a compound of formula (X-a): ##STR1## or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt form thereof, wherein: PA1 R.sup.1 is selected from the group consisting of: PA2 C.sub.1-5 alkyl substituted with 0-5 R.sup.1a, --(CH.sub.2).sub.r --C.sub.3-10 cycloalkyl substituted with 0-5 R.sup.1a, and --(CH.sub.2).sub.r -aryl substituted with 0-5 R.sup.1a. Compounds of Formula (X-a) are macrocyclic molecules containing anti-succinate residues which inhibit metalloproteinases such as aggrecanase, and the production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF). The anti-succinates are formed by an Ireland Claisen rearrangement of a silyl ketene acetal which proceeds with high stereoselectivity.
