BACKGROUND ART 0005 At present, thiazolidine compounds, oxazolidine compounds and the like are reported to be useful as preventing or therapeutic agents for various diseases such as diabetes and hyperlipemia. 0006 For example, oxazolidinedione derivatives having blood sugar and blood lipid lowering effects are disclosed in (1) Japanese Patent Application (Kokai) No. Hei 7-101945 and (2) Japanese Patent Application (Kokai) No. Hei 7-165735. However, the compounds of the inventions as claimed in these publications have a structure that differs from the structure of the compounds of the present invention in that the oxazolidinedione has a comparatively long chain aliphatic hydrocarbon group (the compounds of the present invention have a thiazolidinedione- or oxazolidinedione-methyl group), and although it may have a benzimidazole or imidazopyridine group, each group only has comparatively small substituents such as hydrocarbon groups (the compounds of the present invention are required to have a benzimidazole or imidazopyridine structure, and its substituent is comparatively large and must include an amino group and an aryl group). 0007 In addition, an azolidinedione derivative having anti-diabetes effects is disclosed in (3) U.S. Pat. No. 5,985,884. However, the compound of the invention as claimed in this publication also has a different structure from the compounds of the present invention in that it is unable to have a benzimidazole or imidazopyridine structure having an amino group as its substituent. 0008 Moreover, a thiazolidinedione compound capable of satisfactorily controlling blood sugar values is disclosed in (4) Japanese Patent Application (Kokai) No. Hei 5-213913. However, the compound of the invention as claimed in this publication also has a different structure from the compounds of the present invention in that it also requires a piperidine structure in the case of having a benzimidazole structure, and in that its substituent is comparatively small.

(preferably from 0 C. to 60 C.). 0319 The reaction time varies depending on the starting material, the solvent, the reaction temperature, etc., but it is usually from 30 minutes to 5 days (preferably from 5 hours to 72 hours). 0320 After the reaction, the desired compound of formula (Ia) of the present reaction is collected from the reaction mixture according to a conventional method. For example, in the case where the desired compound of formula (Ia) is an insoluble precipitate, the compound is obtained by collecting by filtration and washing with a solvent. In cases other than the above, the compound is obtained by adding an organic solvent immiscible with water such as ethyl acetate, separating the organic layer containing the desired compound, washing with water, drying over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, anhydrous sodium sulfate, anhydrous sodium hydrogencarbonate, etc. and distilling off the solvent. The desired compound thus obtained can be separated and purified, if necessary, by a conventional method in appropriate combination, for example, a method usually used for separation and purification of organic compounds such as recrystallization, reprecipitation, etc., or chromatography using an appropriate eluant. 9

(preferably from 0 C. to 60 C.). 0327 The reaction time varies depending on the starting material, the solvent, the reaction temperature, etc., but it is usually from 30 minutes to 5 days (preferably from 5 hours to 72 hours). 0328 After the reaction, the desired compound of formula (Ib) of the present reaction is collected from the reaction mixture according to a conventional method. For example, in the case where the desired compound of formula (Ib) is an insoluble precipitate, the compound is obtained by appropriately neutralizing the reaction mixture, collecting by filtration and washing with a solvent. In other cases than the above, the compound is obtained by adding the organic solvent immiscible with water such as ethyl acetate, separating the organic layer containing the desired compound, washing with water, etc., drying over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, anhydrous sodium sulfate, anhydrous sodium hydrogencarbonate, etc. and distilling off the solvent. The desired compound thus obtained can be separated and purified, if necessary, by a conventional method in appropriate combination, for example, a method usually used for separation and purification of organic compounds such as recrystallization, reprecipitation, etc., or chromatography using an appropriate eluant. 0329 The compound of formula (IV) can be obtained by reacting chlorocarbonates or 1,1-carbonyldiimidazole with amines. 0330 The compound of formula (II) is very useful as a synthetic intermediate of a compound including the compound of the present invention and having an insulin tolerance ameliorating effect, a blood sugar-lowering effect, etc. or a compound having other effects.
