         [0439]     wherein:  
         [0440]     the alkylene moiety, which is straight-chained and contains 1 to 6 carbon atoms, may additionally be substituted by one or two C 1-2 -alkyl groups or by an R 6 O—CO or R 6 O—CO—C 1-2 -alkyl group, wherein R 6  in each case is as hereinbefore defined, and

         [0443]     g) In order to prepare a compound of general formula I wherein at least one of the groups R 6  to R 8  denotes a hydrogen atom:  
         [0444]     Converting a compound of general formula  
                         
 
         [0445]     wherein:  
         [0446]     R a  to R d , A, C, and X are as hereinbefore defined,  
         [0447]     B″ and D″ have the meanings given for B and D hereinbefore, with the proviso that at least one of the groups B″ or D″ contains an R 6 O—CO, (R 7 O—PO—OR 8 ), or (R 7 O—PO—R 9 ) group wherein  
         [0448]     R 9  is as hereinbefore defined and at least one of the groups R 6  to R 8  does not represent a hydrogen atom, by hydrolysis, treating with acids, thermolysis, or hydrogenolysis, into a compound of general formula I wherein at least one of the groups R 6  to R 8  denotes a hydrogen atom.  
         [0449]     The hydrolysis is conveniently carried out either in the presence of an acid such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, trichloroacetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid or mixtures thereof, or in the presence of a base such as lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, or potassium hydroxide in a suitable solvent such as water, water/methanol, water/ethanol, water/isopropanol, methanol, ethanol, water/tetrahydrofuran, or water/dioxane at temperatures between −10° C. and 120° C., e.g., at temperatures between ambient temperature and the boiling temperature of the reaction mixture.  
         [0450]     If B″ or D″ in a compound of formula X, for example, contains the tert-butyloxycarbonyl group, the tert-butyl group may also be cleaved by treating with an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid, formic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, or polyphosphoric acid optionally in an inert solvent such as methylene chloride, chloroform, benzene, toluene, diethylether, tetrahydrofuran, or dioxane preferably at temperatures between —10° C. and 120° C., e.g., at temperatures between 0° C. and 60° C., or thermally, optionally in an inert solvent such as methylene chloride, chloroform, benzene, toluene, tetrahydrofuran, or dioxane and preferably in the presence of a catalytic amount of an acid such as p-toluenesulfonic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, or polyphosphoric acid preferably at the boiling temperature of the solvent used, e.g., at temperatures between 40° C. and 120° C. Under the reaction conditions mentioned above, any N-tert-butyloxycarbonylamino or N-tert-butyloxycarbonylimino groups present may be converted into the corresponding amino or imino groups.  
         [0451]     If B″ or D″ in a compound of formula X, for example, contains the benzyloxycarbonyl group, the benzyl group may also be cleaved hydrogenolytically in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst such as palladium/charcoal in a suitable solvent such as methanol, ethanol, ethanol/water, glacial acetic acid, ethyl acetate, dioxane, or dimethylformamide, preferably at temperatures between 0° C. and 50° C., e.g., ambient temperature, and at a hydrogen pressure of 1 to 5 bar. During the hydrogenolysis other groups may simultaneously be converted, e.g., a nitro group may be converted into an amino group, a benzyloxy group into a hydroxy group and a N-benzylamino, N-benzylimino, N-benzyloxycarbonylamino, or N-benzyloxycarbonylimino group into a corresponding amino or imino group.  
         [0452]     If according to the invention a compound of general formula I is obtained which contains a carboxy or hydroxyphosphoryl group, this may be converted by esterification into a corresponding ester of general formula I or  
         [0453]     If a compound of general formula I is obtained wherein B or D denotes an optionally substituted N-(2-hydroxyethyl)glycine or N-(2-hydroxyethyl)glycinester group, this may be converted by cyclization in a corresponding 2-oxomorpholino compound.  
         [0454]     The subsequent esterification is optionally carried out in a solvent or mixture of solvents such as methylene chloride, dimethylformamide, benzene, toluene, chlorobenzene, tetrahydrofuran, benzene/tetrahydrofuran, or dioxane or particularly advantageously in a corresponding alcohol, optionally in the presence of an acid such as hydrochloric acid, or in the presence of a dehydrating agent, e.g., in the presence of isobutyl chloroformate, thionyl chloride, trimethylchlorosilane, sulfuric acid, methanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, phosphorus trichloride, phosphorus pentoxide, N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide/N-hydroxysuccinimide, or 1-hydroxybenzotriazole and optionally additionally in the presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine, N,N′-carbonyldiimidazole, or triphenylphosphine/carbon tetrachloride, conveniently at temperatures between 0° C. and 150° C., preferably at temperatures between 0° C. and 80° C.  
         [0455]     The subsequent ester formation may also be carried out by reacting a compound which contains a carboxy or hydroxyphosphoryl group with a corresponding alkyl halide.  
         [0456]     The subsequent intramolecular cyclization is optionally carried out in a solvent or mixture of solvents such as acetonitrile, methylene chloride, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, or toluene in the presence an acid such as hydrochloric acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid at temperatures between −10° C. and 120° C.  
         [0457]     In the reactions described hereinbefore, any reactive groups present such as hydroxy, carboxy, phosphono, O-alkyl-phosphono, amino, alkylamino, or imino groups may be protected during the reaction by conventional protecting groups which are cleaved again after the reaction.  
         [0458]     For example, a protecting group for a hydroxy group may be a trimethylsilyl, acetyl, benzoyl, methyl, ethyl, tert-butyl, trityl, benzyl, or tetrahydropyranyl group,  
         [0459]     protecting groups for a carboxy group may be a trimethylsilyl, methyl, ethyl, tert-butyl, benzyl, or tetrahydropyranyl group,  
         [0460]     protecting groups for a phosphono group may be an alkyl group such as a methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, or n-butyl group, or a phenyl or benzyl group, and  
         [0461]     protecting groups for an amino, alkylamino, or imino group may be a formyl, acetyl, trifluoroacetyl, ethoxycarbonyl, tert-butoxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, benzyl, methoxybenzyl, or 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl group and additionally, for the amino group, a phthalyl group.  
         [0462]     Any protecting group used is optionally subsequently cleaved for example by hydrolysis in an aqueous solvent, e.g., in water, isopropanol/water, acetic acid/water, tetrahydrofuran/water, or dioxane/water, in the presence of an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid, hydrochloric acid, or sulfuric acid, or in the presence of an alkali metal base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide or aprotically, e.g., in the presence of iodotrimethylsilane, at temperatures between 0° C. and 120° C., preferably at temperatures between 10° C. and 100° C.  
         [0463]     However, a benzyl, methoxybenzyl, or benzyloxycarbonyl group is cleaved, for example, hydrogenolytically, e.g., with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst such as palladium/charcoal in a suitable solvent such as methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate, or glacial acetic acid, optionally with the addition of an acid such as hydrochloric acid at temperatures between 0° C. and 100° C., but preferably at temperatures between 20° C. and 60° C., and at a hydrogen pressure of 1 to 7 bar, but preferably 3 to 5 bar. A 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl group, however, is preferably cleaved in trifluoroacetic acid in the presence of anisole.  
         [0464]     A tert-butyl or tert-butyloxycarbonyl group is preferably cleaved by treating with an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid or hydrochloric acid or by treating with iodotrimethylsilane, optionally using a solvent such as methylene chloride, dioxane, methanol, or diethylether.  
         [0465]     A trifluoroacetyl group is preferably cleaved by treating with an acid such as hydrochloric acid, optionally in the presence of a solvent such as acetic acid at temperatures between 50° C. and 120° C. or by treating with sodium hydroxide solution optionally in the presence of a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran at temperatures between 0° C. and 50° C.  
         [0466]     A phthalyl group is preferably cleaved in the presence of hydrazine or a primary amine such as methylamine, ethylamine, or n-butylamine in a solvent such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, toluene/water, or dioxane at temperatures between 20° C. and 50° C.  
         [0467]     A single alkyl group may be cleaved from an O,O′-dialkylphosphono group with sodium iodide, for example, in a solvent such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, acetonitrile, or dimethylformamide at temperatures between 40° C. and 150° C., but preferably at temperatures between 60° C. and 100° C.  
         [0468]     Both alkyl groups may be cleaved from an O,O′-dialkylphosphono group with iodotrimethylsilane, bromotrimethylsilane, or chlorotrimethylsilane/sodium iodide, for example, in a solvent such as methylene chloride, chloroform, or acetonitrile at temperatures between 0° C. and the boiling temperature of the reaction mixture, but preferably at temperatures between 20 and 60° C.  
         [0469]     Moreover, the compounds of general formula I obtained may be resolved into their enantiomers and/or diastereomers, as mentioned hereinbefore. Thus, for example, cis/trans mixtures may be resolved into their cis and trans isomers, and compounds with at least one optically active carbon atom may be separated into their enantiomers.  
         [0470]     Thus, for example, the cis/trans mixtures may be resolved by chromatography into the cis and trans isomers thereof, the compounds of general formula I obtained which occur as racemates may be separated by methods known per se (cf. N. L. Allinger and E. L. Eliel in “Topics in Stereochemistry”, Vol. 6, Wiley Interscience, 1971) into their optical antipodes and compounds of general formula I with at least 2 asymmetric carbon atoms may be resolved into their diastereomers on the basis of their physical-chemical differences using methods known per se, e.g., by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization, and, if these compounds are obtained in racemic form, they may subsequently be resolved into the enantiomers as mentioned above.  
         [0471]     The enantiomers are preferably separated by column separation on chiral phases or by recrystallization from an optically active solvent or by reacting with an optically active substance which forms salts or derivatives such as e.g., esters or amides with the racemic compound, particularly acids and the activated derivatives or alcohols thereof, and separating the diastereomeric mixture of salts or derivatives thus obtained, e.g., on the basis of their differences in solubility, wherein the free antipodes may be released from the pure diastereomeric salts or derivatives by the action of suitable agents. Optically active acids in common use are e.g., the D- and L-forms of tartaric acid or dibenzoyltartaric acid, di-o-tolyltartaric acid, malic acid, mandelic acid, camphorsulfonic acid, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, or quinic acid. An optically active alcohol may be for example (+) or (−)-menthol and an optically active acyl group in amides, for example, may be a (+)-or (−)-menthyloxycarbonyl.  
         [0472]     Furthermore, the compounds of formula I may be converted into the salts thereof, particularly for pharmaceutical use into the physiologically acceptable salts with inorganic or organic acids. Acids which may be used for this purpose include for example hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, or maleic acid.  
         [0473]     Moreover, if the new compounds of formula I thus obtained contain a carboxy, hydroxyphosphoryl, sulfo, or 5-tetrazolyl group, they may subsequently, if desired, be converted into the salts thereof with inorganic or organic bases, particularly for pharmaceutical use into the physiologically acceptable salts thereof. Suitable bases for this purpose include for example sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, arginine, cyclohexylamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, and triethanolamine.  
         [0474]     The compounds of general formulae II to XIII used as starting materials are known from the literature in some cases or may be obtained by methods known from the literature (cf. Examples I to XVI).  
         [0475]     As already mentioned hereinbefore, the compounds of general formula I according to the invention and their physiologically acceptable salts have valuable pharmacological properties, particularly an inhibiting effect on signal transduction mediated by the Epidermal Growth Factor receptor (EGF-R), wherein this may be achieved for example by inhibiting ligand bonding, receptor dimerization or tyrosine kinase itself. It is also possible to block the transmission of signals to components located further down.  
         [0476]     The biological properties of the new compounds were investigated as follows. The inhibition of the EGF-R-mediated signal transmission can be demonstrated e.g., with cells which express human EGF-R and whose survival and proliferation depend on stimulation by EGF or TGF-alpha. A cell line of murine origin dependent on interleukin-3-(IL-3) which was genetically modified to express functional human EGF-R was used here. The proliferation of these cells known as F/L-HERc can therefore be stimulated either by murine IL-3 or by EGF (cf. T. von Rüden et al. in EMBO J. 7, 2749-2756 (1988) and J. H. Pierce et al. in Science 239, 628-631 (1988)). The starting material used for the F/L-HERc cells was the cell line FDC-P 1 , the production of which has been described by T. M. Dexter et al. in J. Exp. Med. 152, 1036-1047 (1980). Alternatively, however, other growth-factor-dependent cells may also be used (cf., for example, J. H. Pierce et al. in Science 239, 628-631 (1988); H. Shibuya et al. in Cell 70, 57-67 (1992) and W. S. Alexander in EMBO J. 10, 3683-3691 (1991)). For expressing the human EGF-R cDNA (cf. A. Ullrich et al. in Nature 309, 418-425 (1984)) recombinant retroviruses were used as described by T. von Rüden et al., EMBO J. 7, 2749-2756 (1988), except that the retroviral vector LXSN (cf. A. D. Miller et al. in BioTechniques 7, 980-990 (1989)) was used for the expression of the EGF-R cDNA and the line GP+E86 (cf. D. Markowitz et al. in J. Virol. 62, 1120-1124 (1988)) was used as the packaging cell.  
         [0477]     The test was performed as follows. F/L-HERc cells were cultivated in RPMI/1640 medium (BioWhittaker), supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS, Boehringer Mannheim), 2 mM glutamine (BioWhittaker), standard antibiotics and 20 ng/ml of human EGF (Promega), at 37° C. and 5% CO 2 . In order to investigate the inhibitory activity of the compounds according to the invention, 1.5×10 4  cells per well were cultivated in triplicate in 96-well dishes in the above medium (200 μl), the cell proliferation being stimulated with either EGF (20 ng/ml) or murine IL-3. The IL-3 used was obtained from culture supernatants of the cell line X63/0 mIL-3 (cf. H. Karasuyama et al. in Eur. J. Immunol. 18, 97-104 (1988)). The compounds according to the invention were dissolved in 100% dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and added to the cultures in various dilutions, the maximum DMSO concentration being 1%. The cultures were incubated for 48 hours at 37° C.  
         [0478]     In order to determine the inhibitory activity of the compounds according to the invention the relative cell number was measured in O.D. units using the Cell Titer 96™ Aqueous Non-Radioactive Cell Proliferation Assay (Promega). The relative cell number was calculated as a percentage of the control (F/LHERc cells without inhibitor) and the concentration of active substance which inhibits the proliferation of the cells by 50% (IC 50 ) was derived therefrom. The following results were obtained:  
                                                                 Compound   Inhibition of EGF-Dependent           (Example no)   Proliferation IC 50  [nM]                                        1   46           1(2)   20           2   230           2(1)   39           3   45           3(1)   100           3(2)   70           3(4)   77           4   33                      
 
         [0479]     The compounds of general formula I according to the invention thus inhibit the signal transduction by tyrosine kinases, as demonstrated by the example of the human EGF receptor, and are therefore useful for treating pathophysiological processes caused by hyperfunction of tyrosine kinases. These are e.g., benign or malignant tumors, particularly tumors of epithelial and neuroepithelial origin, metastasization, and the abnormal proliferation of vascular endothelial cells (neoangiogenesis).  
         [0480]     The compounds according to the invention are also useful for preventing and treating diseases of the airways and lungs which are accompanied by increased or altered production of mucus caused by stimulation by tyrosine kinases, e.g., in inflammatory diseases of the airways such as chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive bronchitis, asthma, bronchiectasias, allergic or non-allergic rhinitis or sinusitis, cystic fibrosis, α1-antitrypsin deficiency, or coughs, pulmonary emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis, and hyperreactive airways.  
         [0481]     The compounds are also suitable for treating diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and bile duct and gall bladder which are associated with disrupted activity of the tyrosine kinases, such as may be found e.g., in chronic inflammatory changes such as cholecystitis, Crohn&#39;s disease, ulcerative colitis, and ulcers in the gastrointestinal tract or such as may occur in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract which are associated with increased secretions, such as Ménétrier&#39;s disease, secreting adenomas and protein loss syndrome, and also for treating nasal polyps and polyps of the gastrointestinal tract of various origins such as e.g., villous or adenomatous polyps of the large bowel, but also polyps in familial polyposis coli, intestinal polyps in Gardner&#39;s syndrome, polyps throughout the entire gastrointestinal tract in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, in inflammatory pseudopolyps, juvenile polyps, Colitis cystica profunda, and Pneumatosis cystoides intestinales.  
         [0482]     Moreover, the compounds of general formula I and the physiologically acceptable salts thereof may be used to treat kidney diseases, particularly in cystic changes such as cystic kidneys, for treating renal cysts which may be idiopathic in origin or occur in syndromes such as e.g., tuberculous sclerosis, in von-Hippel-Lindau Syndrome, in nephronophthisis and spongy kidney, and other diseases caused by aberrant function of tyrosine kinases, such as e.g., epidermal hyperproliferation (psoriasis), inflammatory processes, diseases of the immune system, hyperproliferation of hematopoietic cells, etc.  
         [0483]     By reason of their biological properties the compounds according to the invention may be used on their own or in conjunction with other pharmacologically active compounds, for example in tumour therapy, in monotherapy or in conjunction with other anti-tumour therapeutic agents, for example in combination with topoisomerase inhibitors (e.g., etoposide), mitosis inhibitors (e.g., vinblastine), compounds which interact with nucleic acids (e.g., cisplatin, cyclophosphamide, adriamycin), hormone antagonists (e.g., tamoxifen), inhibitors of metabolic processes (e.g., 5-FU etc), cytokines (e.g., interferons), antibodies, etc. For treating respiratory tract diseases, these compounds may be used on their own or in conjunction with other therapeutic agents for the airways, such as substances with a secretolytic, broncholytic, and/or antiinflammatory activity. For treating diseases in the region of the gastrointestinal tract, these compounds may also be administered on their own or in conjunction with substances having an effect on motility or secretion or antiinflammatory substances. These combinations may be administered either simultaneously or sequentially.  
         [0484]     These compounds may be administered either on their own or in conjunction with other active substances by intravenous, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intrarectal, intraperitoneal, or intranasal route, by inhalation, or transdermally or orally, wherein aerosol formulations are particularly suitable for inhalation.  
         [0485]     For pharmaceutical use the compounds according to the invention are generally used for warm-blooded vertebrates, particularly humans, in doses of 0.01-100 mg/kg of body weight, preferably 0.1-15 mg/kg. For administration, they are formulated with one or more conventional inert carriers and/or diluents, e.g., with corn starch, lactose, glucose, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, citric acid, tartaric acid, water, water/ethanol, water/glycerol, water/sorbitol, water/polyethyleneglycol, propyleneglycol, stearyl alcohol, carboxymethylcellulose, or fatty substances such as hard fat or suitable mixtures thereof in conventional galenic preparations such as plain or coated tablets, capsules, powders, suspensions, solutions, sprays, or suppositories.  
         [0486]     The following Examples are intended to illustrate the present invention without restricting it.  
         [0487]     Preparation of the Starting Compounds:
