NEPRLYSIN INHIBITORS O X (X) CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS O n RN O N NH This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional O Application No. 61/657,220, filed on Jun. 8, 2012 and U.S. R21 Provisional Application No. 61/774,148, filed on Mar. 7, 2013; the entire disclosures of which are incorporated herein 10 Rb by reference. Ra BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION where: 15 (i) R' is F: R is Cl; X is 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to novel compounds which are metabolized in vivo to compounds having activity as neprilysin inhibitors. The invention also relates to pharma ceutical compositions comprising these compounds, pro N cesses and intermediates for preparing these compounds and methods of using these compounds to treat diseases such as hypertension, heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and ( NO O 25 renal disease. 2. State of the Art Commonly-assigned U.S. Patent Publication No. 2012/ N O 0157386, filed on Dec. 14, 2011 to Smith et al., describes novel compounds that have activity as neprilysin inhibitors, 30 als the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. In - particular, compounds of the genus: 35 40 N O ( NO 45 R’ is H and R7 is selected from CHCH, -CHCH (CH), —CHCF. —(CH2)CF, —CHCFCH. —CHCFCF, —C(CH) (CF), —CH(CH2CH)CF, are described. Depending upon the variables, compounds —CH(CH)CFCF, -(CH), OH, -CH-CH(NH) 50 COOCH, -(CH)OCH, -CHROC(O) Calkyl, within this genus can be referred to as being in the active form - CHROC(O)O Calkyl, -CHROC(O)O-cyclohexyl, or as being a prodrug, which is metabolized in Vivo to gener —Calkylene-N(CH), -CHOC(O)CHR NH, ate the active form of the compound. —CHOC(O)CHR NHC(O)C Calkyl, benzyl, and In spite of these compounds however, there remains a need for compounds and prodrugs within this genus that have 55 different metabolic and cleavage properties. For example, there remains a need for active compounds and/or prodrug compounds having improved oral absorption and for prodrug compounds that undergo rapid cleavage to form the active 60 compound. This invention is directed to that need. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 65 or R is selected from C(O) Coalkyl, -C(O)CHR One aspect of the invention relates to a compound of the NH, -C(O)CHR NHC(O)C Calkyl, and -P(O) formula X: (OR), and R is H; and US 8,871,792 B2 7 8 COOCH, -(CH)OCH, -CHROC(O) Calkyl, DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION —CHROC(O)C) Calkyl, -CHROC(O)C)-cyclohexyl, —Calkylene-N(CH), CHOC(O)CHR NH, When describing the compounds, compositions, methods —CHOC(O)CHR NHC(O)C Calkyl, and and processes of the invention, the following terms have the following meanings unless otherwise indicated. Additionally, as used herein, the singular forms “a” “an and “the' include the corresponding plural forms unless the context of use clearly dictates otherwise. The terms “comprising”, “includ ing.” and "having are intended to be inclusive and mean that 10 there may be additional elements other than the listed ele ments. All numbers expressing quantities of ingredients, properties such as molecular weight, reaction conditions, and so forth used herein are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term “about unless otherwise indicated. Accordingly, the numbers set forth hereinare approximations or R is selected from C(O) Calkyl, -C(O)CHR 15 that may vary depending upon the desired properties sought NH, -C(O)CHR NHC(O)C Calkyl, and -P(O) to be obtained by the present invention. At least, and not as an (OR), R is -OH, and R7 is H; or R is H, R is selected attempt to limit the application of the doctrine of equivalents from —OCHROC(O) Calkyl, OCHOC(O)CHCH to the scope of the claims, each number should at least be (CH), NH –OCHOC(O)CHCH(CH), NHC(O) construed in light of the reported significant digits and by OCH and applying ordinary rounding techniques. The term “alkyl means a monovalent saturated hydrocar bon group which may be linear or branched. Unless otherwise defined, such alkyl groups typically contain from 1 to 10 ? CH3, carbonatoms and include, for example, —Calkyl, meaning A Yo o 25 an alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms where the carbon atoms are in any acceptable configuration.
