Analytical Data of the Compounds
[1438] The determination of [M+H].sup.+ or [M−H].sup.− by LC-MS under acidic chromatographic conditions was done with 1 ml formic acid per liter acetonitrile and 0.9 ml formic acid per liter Millipore water as eluents. The column Zorbax Eclipse Plus C18 50 mm*2.1 mm was used. The temperature of the column oven was 55° C.
[1439] The enantomeric excesses of the intermediate compounds tert-butyl N-[5-[(1S)-1-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)ethyl]-1-[5-(morpholine-4-carbonyl)thiazol-2-yl]-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl]-N-methyl-carbamate, tert-butyl N-[5-[(1S)-1-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)ethyl]-1-pyrimidin-2-yl-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl]-N-methyl-carbamate, tert-Butyl N-[(1S)-1-[5-(dimethylamino)-2-pyrimidin-2-yl-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl]ethyl]carbamate, tert-butyl N-[(1S)-1-[5-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-2-(5-cyano-2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl]ethyl]carbamate, tert-butyl N-[(1S)-1-[5-[methoxy(methyl) amino]-2-pyrimidin-2-yl-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl]ethyl] carbamate, the intermediate compounds in table A and examples 1-031, 1-127, 1-134 were determined using chiral HPLC: Chiralcel OD-RH column (4.6 mm×150 mm×5 μm), room temperature, eluting with 0.1% phosphoric acid (A) and acetonitrile (B), gradient A:B 95/5 to 10/90, detecting at 210 nm. Analogously, the enantiomeric excess were determined for the examples given in Table 1: I-132 (ee-value: 92%; Rt=10.17 min); 1-137 (ee-value: 100%; Rt=7.70 min); 1-145 (ee-value: 100%; Rt=9.86 min); 1-169 (ee-value: 96%; Rt=8.90 min); 1-175 (ee-value: 81%; Rt=14.30 min); 1-176 (ee-value: 78%; Rt=12.87 min); 1-202 (ee-value: 100%; Rt=8.35 min); 1-206 (ee-value: 97%; Rt=12.90 min); 1-222 (ee-value: 100%; Rt=12.01 min).
[1440] The determination of the .sup.1H NMR data was effected with a Bruker Avance III 400 MHz equipped with a 1.7 mm TCI cryo probe, a Bruker Avance III 600 MHz equipped with a 5 mm multi-nuclear cryo probe or a Bruker Avance NEO 600 MHz equipped with a 5 mm TCI cryo probe with tetramethylsilane as reference (0.0) and the solvents CD.sub.3CN, CDCl.sub.3 or D.sub.6-DMSO.
[1441] The NMR data of selected examples are listed either in conventional form (S values, multiplet splitting, number of hydrogen atoms) or as NMR peak lists.
NMR Peak List Method
[1442] The .sup.1H NMR data of selected examples are stated in the form of .sup.1H NMR peak lists. For each signal peak, first the δ value in ppm and then the signal intensity in round brackets are listed. The pairs of δ value-signal intensity numbers for different signal peaks are listed with separation from one another by semicolons.
[1443] The peak list for one example therefore takes the form of:
δ.sub.1 (intensity.sub.1); δ.sub.2 (intensity.sub.2); . . . ; δ.sub.i (intensity.sub.i); . . . ; δ.sub.n (intensity.sub.n)
[1444] The intensity of sharp signals correlates with the height of the signals in a printed example of an NMR spectrum in cm and shows the true ratios of the signal intensities. In the case of broad signals, several peaks or the middle of the signal and the relative intensity thereof may be shown in comparison to the most intense signal in the spectrum.
[1445] For calibration of the chemical shift of .sup.1H NMR spectra, we use tetramethylsilane and/or the chemical shift of the solvent, particularly in the case of spectra which are measured in DMSO. Therefore, the tetramethylsilane peak may but need not occur in NMR peak lists.
[1446] The lists of the .sup.1H NMR peaks are similar to the conventional .sup.1H NMR printouts and thus usually contain all peaks listed in a conventional NMR interpretation.
[1447] In addition, like conventional .sup.1H NMR printouts, they may show solvent signals, signals of stereoisomers of the target compounds which are likewise provided by the invention, and/or peaks of impurities.
[1448] In the reporting of compound signals within the delta range of solvents and/or water, our lists of .sup.1H NMR peaks show the standard solvent peaks, for example peaks of DMSO in DMSO-D.sub.6 and the peak of water, which usually have a high intensity on average.
[1449] The peaks of stereoisomers of the target compounds and/or peaks of impurities usually have a lower intensity on average than the peaks of the target compounds (for example with a purity of >90%).
[1450] Such stereoisomers and/or impurities may be typical of the particular preparation process. Their peaks can thus help in identifying reproduction of our preparation process with reference to “by-product fingerprints”.
[1451] A person skilled in the art calculating the peaks of the target compounds by known methods (MestreC, ACD simulation, but also with empirically evaluated expected values) can, if required, isolate the peaks of the target compounds, optionally using additional intensity filters. This isolation would be similar to the peak picking in question in conventional .sup.1H NMR interpretation.
[1452] Further details of .sup.1H NMR peak lists can be found in the Research Disclosure Database Number 564025.
[1453] The compounds according to the invention described in table 1 below are likewise preferred compounds of the formula (I), wherein R.sup.1 is hydrogen, R.sup.3b is methyl, R.sup.3a is hydrogen, X is oxygen and Y is a direct bond which are obtained according to or analogously to the preparation examples described above.

[1454] 9 mg compound is solved in 1 mL acetone and diluted with acetone to the desired concentration. 250 μL of the test solution is filled in 25 mL glass test tubes and homogeneously distributed on the inner walls by rotation and tilting on a shaking device (2 h at 30 rpm). With a compound concentration of 900 ppm, an inner surface of 44.7 cm.sup.2 and a homogeneous distribution, a dose of 5 μg/cm.sup.2 is achieved.
