[0887] Scheme 1 shows the preparation of intermediate 6, which is useful for the preparation of compounds of the present invention. Imidazole intermediate 1 is reacted with oxathiazolidine intermediate 2 using a carbonate base such as Cs.sub.2CO.sub.3 in a solvent such as DMA at elevated temperature to give intermediate 3. Intermediate 3 then undergoes Suzuki cross-coupling with a R.sup.9 boronate (R.sup.9B(OH).sub.2 or an ester thereof) using a palladium catalyst, carbonate base, and an aqueous-organic solvent mixture at elevated temperature to give intermediate 4. Alternatively, intermediate 3 is converted to the corresponding boronic acid using tetrahydroxydiboron, a palladium catalyst, a base such potassium acetate, a mixture of solvents such as MeOH and DCE at elevated temperature to give boronic acid 5, which is then coupled with a R.sup.9 boronate under conditions described above to give intermediate 4. The nitrogen protecting group (represented as PG in the above scheme) of intermediate 4 is then removed under conditions known to the person skilled in the art, for example Boc-protecting groups can be removed under acidic conditions (e.g. stirring the Boc-protected intermediate in HCl in 1,4-dioxane at RT) to give 6.

##STR00144##

The nitro group is then reduced using Raney Nickel and hydrogen gas to give amine 10.

##STR00145##

[0889] Scheme 3 shows the preparation of intermediates 15 and 20, which are useful for the preparation of compounds of the present invention. Acid intermediate 11 is reacted with lithium diisopropylamide and chlorotitanium triisopropoxide at 70 C., followed by addition of intermediate 12 to give intermediate 13. The acid is then converted to the ester 14, where W is an alkyl ester, e.g. by addition of (trimethylsilyl)diazomethane to 13 in an organic solvent giving a methyl ester. Alternatively, the acid in intermediate 11 is protected as an alkyl ester before reaction with intermediate 12, giving intermediate 14 directly. Reaction of intermediate 14 with HCl in a solvent such as 1,4-dioxane at 15 C. gives intermediate 15.

[0890] In a similar manner, intermediate 16 is reacted with lithium diisopropylamide and chlorotitanium triisopropoxide at 70 C., followed by addition of intermediate 12 to give intermediate 17. The nitrile is then reacted with hydroxylamine hydrochloride and an organic base at elevated temperature to give intermediate 18, which is then cyclized to thiadiazolone 19 by addition of di-1H-imidazol-1-ylmethanethione at 15 C. in an organic solvent such as THF. Intermediate 19 is then converted to amine 20 under acidic conditions described above.

##STR00146##

[0891] Scheme 4 shows the preparation of compound 54. Alkyl iodide 21 is reacted with aryl/heteroaryl iodide 22 (where W is an alkyl group such as methyl or ethyl, and PG is a protecting group such as Boc) using pyridine-2,6-bis(carboximidamide)dihydrochloride, nickel (II) chloride, and zinc in a solvent such as DMA to give 23. Aqueous LiOH in a solvent such as THF converts 23 to acid 24, which is then coupled with amine 25 to give 26 under conditions known to a person of skill in the art, e.g. with an amide coupling reagent such as HATU, an organic base such as DIEA, and a polar aprotic solvent such as DMF. The protecting group of intermediate 26 is then removed, e.g. using HCl in 1,4-dioxane and a solvent such as MeOH when PG is Boc, giving intermediate 27. Intermediate 27 is then reacted with acid chloride 28 (where Z is a halogen) using an organic base such as DIEA in a solvent such as DCM to give 29, which is then cyclized using a carbonate base in a solvent such as ACN at elevated temperature giving intermediate 30. Compound 30 is then converted to the boronic ester 31 using bis(pinacolato)diboron, KOAc, and a palladium catalyst such as Pd(dppf)Cl.sub.2.Math.CH.sub.2Cl.sub.2 in a solvent such as 1,4-dioxane. Alternatively, bromide 30 is converted to the boronic acid using hypodiboric acid, KOAc, and a palladium catalyst such as XPhos Pd G3 at elevated temperature. Finally, boronate 31 undergoes Suzuki cross-coupling with 32a, where Z is a halogen, using conditions known to a person skilled in the art e.g. a carbonate base and a palladium catalyst in an aqueous-organic mixture of solvents such as EtOH/water at elevated temperature to give compound 54. Bromide 30 can also be converted to compound 54 in a one-pot procedure in which 30 is first coupled with bis(neopentyl glycolato)diboron using a palladium catalyst such as dichloro{bis[2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]ether}palladium(II), a base such as potassium acetate, in a solvent such as 1,4-dioxane at elevated temperature to give a boronic ester in situ. Then the boronic ester is coupled with aryl halide 32a using a second palladium catalyst such as XPhos Pd G4, a base such as K.sub.3PO.sub.4, and water at elevated temperature to give compound 54. Compound 30 can also be reacted with boronate 32b under Suzuki cross-coupling conditions described above to give compound 54.

##STR00147##

[0892] Scheme 5 shows another approach to the preparation of compound 54. Protected amino acid derivative 23 (where W is an alkyl group such as methyl or ethyl, and PG is a protecting group such as Boc) is first deprotected, for example using HCl in MeOH if PG is Boc to give 33, which is then reacted with acid chloride 28 (where Z is a halogen) using an organic base such as TEA in a solvent such as THF to give 34. Intermediate 34 is then cyclized using a carbonate base in a solvent such as ACN giving intermediate 35, which is then converted to the boronic acid using hypodiboric acid, KOAc, and a palladium catalyst such as XPhos Pd G3 at elevated temperature to give boronic acid 36. Boronic acid 36 then undergoes Suzuki cross-coupling with 32a, where Z is a halogen, using conditions known to a person skilled in the art e.g. a carbonate base and a palladium catalyst such as XPhos Pd G3 in an aqueous-organic mixture of solvents such as 1,4-dioxane/water at elevated temperature to give 37. Alternatively, 35 undergoes Suzuki cross-coupling with boronate 32b under conditions as described above to give 37. Aqueous LiOH in a solvent such as tert-butanol converts 37 to acid 38, which is then coupled with amine 25 to give compound 54 under conditions known to a person of skill in the art, e.g. with an amide coupling reagent such as DEPBT, an organic base such as N-methylmorpholine, and a polar aprotic solvent such as DMA.

Compound 41 is then cyclized using a palladium catalyst such as bis(dibenzylideneacetone)palladium and bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)(methyl)phosphine tetrafluoroborate, a phosphate base such as K.sub.3PO.sub.4, in a solvent such as toluene at elevated temperature to give 43. Subsequent deprotection using TFA and anisole at elevated temperature gives 44, which is then alkylated with ethyl bromoacetate using a carbonate base in a solvent such as DMF at elevated temperature to give 45. Compound 45 is treated with a base such as NaHMDS at 78 C. and then alkylated with alkyl bromide 46 to give 47, which then undergoes ester hydrolysis using aqueous LiOH to give 48. Acid 48 is then coupled with amine 49 under coupling conditions well known to the skilled artisan such as using HATU and TEA to give 50.

##STR00149##

[0894] Scheme 7 shows the preparation of alkyl phosphates, where alkyl-OH (51) represents an alkyl-hydroxyl substitution in compounds of the present invention.

[1322] Functional activity was determined using cAMP formation in HEK-293 clonal cell lines expressing hGIP-R. hGIP-R receptor expressing cells were treated with compound (20 point concentration-response curve in DMSO, 2-fold Labcyte Echo direct dilution, 384 well plate Corning Cat #3570) in DMEM (Gibco Cat #31053) supplemented with 1 GlutaMAX (Gibco Cat #35050), 0.1% bovine casein (Sigma C4765-10ML), 250 M IBMX (3-Isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, Acros Cat #228420010) and 20 mM HEPES (Gibco Cat #15630) in a 20 L assay volume (final DMSO concentration was 1%). After a 30 min incubation at 37 C., the resulting increase in intracellular cAMP was quantitatively determined using the Revvity CAMP Dynamic 2 HTRF Assay Kit (62AM4PEJ). Briefly, cAMP levels within the cell were detected by adding the cAMP-d2 conjugate in cell lysis buffer (10 L) followed by the antibody anti-cAMP-Eu.sup.3+-Cryptate, also in cell lysis buffer (10 L). The resulting competitive assay was incubated for at least 60 min at RT, then detected using a BMG Labtech PHERAstar FSX instrument with excitation at 320 nm and emission at 665 nm and 620 nm. PHERAstar units (emission at 665 nm/620 nm*10,000) are inversely proportional to the amount of cAMP present and were converted to nM cAMP per well using a cAMP standard curve. The amount of cAMP generated (nM) in each well was converted to a percent of the maximal response observed with human GIP (1-42) OH. A relative EC.sub.50 value and percent top (E.sub.max) were derived by non-linear regression analysis using the percent maximal response vs. the concentration of compound added, fitted to a four-parameter logistic equation.

[1323] Results. The Examples below were tested using the above-described assay and found to have an EC.sub.50 of 100 nM or less. This data indicates that these compounds are agonists of the human GIPR. Functional data for particular exemplified compounds is in Tables 56, 57, and 58 below.
