 Substituted sulfohamides are treatment of Diabetes mellitus.  
 suitable for the It has now been found that in compounds of the general formula I 50 -Fornu1a I which have available&#39;an asymmetrical C atom C*, the enantiomers exhibit a, surprisingly great difference in the blood sugar lowering effect. Thus, one of the enantiomers is generally 30 to 300 times more effective than the other and about twice as effective as the racemate.

  This invention relates to racemates and optical antipodes of sulfamoyl pyrimidines of the general formula 1, above where C* is an asymmetrical C atom;  
 X and Y are identical or different and each by itself represents a direct bond or a methylene group;  
 R and R Hydrogen or halogen atoms, alkyl groups with 1 6 atoms or alkoxy groups with l 4 C atoms;  
 R, and R are different and represent hydrogen atoms, straightchain or branched alkyl groups, with l 4 C atoms, carboxyl or alkoxycarbonyl groups, with l 4 C atoms;  
 R; and R are identical or different and represent hydrogen atoms or low alkyl groups with l 4 C atoms;  
 R,, is a straight-chain or branched alkyl group with l 6 C atoms; and  
 W is a direct CC bond or an oxygen or sulfur atom, as well as their salts with physiologically tolerable bases.  
  Testing for blood sugar reduction was done houron on rabbits fasting for 24 hours, over a time interval of 6 hours. The values shown in the following table under BZ (Blood Sugar) indicate the lowest dose of the particular sulfonamide which lowers the blood sugar as much as 1 mg/kg of 4-[N-(5-isopropoxy-2- pyrimidinyl)-su1famoyll-phenylacetic acid--chloro-2- methoxyanilid, one of the most effective compounds from Belgian Pat. No. 726,253. The dosage gradation is: 30, 3, 1, 0.5, 0.25, 0.1, 0.05 mg/kg).  
 Table do not have a side chain (e.g., Glymidin) are betacytotropically active.  
  For therapeutical use, the substances according to the invention can be administered by mouth as free sulfonamides, as salts with physiologically acceptable inorganic and/or organic bases, such as hydroxides of sodium, lithium, calcium or ammonium, amines such as methyl glucamine, morpholine, ethanolamine and others, or also in the form of mixtures of the free sulfonamides with a suitable alkali bicarbonate, or respectively carbonate. Especially suitable are bases which in themselves are blood sugar lowering, as for example, butyl biguanide. The confectioning of the substances can be effected without or with the additions, vehicles, taste correctives, etc. common in galenic pharmacy, namely for example in powder form, as tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, or in the form of suspensions or solutions.  
  The production of the new compounds of the general formula 1 is effected by a) reacting a possibly optically active sulfohalide of the general formula where C*, X, Y, R R R R R and R have the same meaning as above and Q is a halogen atom, preferably chlorine, with guanidine, and condensing the resulting possibly optically active guanidinesulfonyl compound of the general formula with a substituted malonedialdehyde of the general formula O -Q HJLLRb BZ form Name (+) form Racemate 4-[ N-( 5-isopropoxy2-pyrmidinyl sulfamolyll-phenylacetic acid-l-phenyl- 0 l 30 4-[ N-( 5-isopropoxy-2-pyrimidinyl sulfamoyl1-phenylacetic acid-l-phenylpropylamide 4-[N(5-isobutyl-2-pyrimidinyl)- sulfamoyl ]-phenylacetic acid- 1 -phenyl ethylamide 4-[N-( S-isobutyl-Z-pyrimidinyl sulfamoyl] lphenylacetic acid- 1 -phenylpropylamide 4-[N-(5-isobutyl-2-pyrimidinyl)- sulfamoyl ]-phenylacetic acid- 1 (5-fluoro-2-methoxy-phenyl )-ethylamide It is surprising that the increase in blood sugar lowering action is brought about-by a modification of the molecule in the lengthened side chain of the sulfonized benzene nucleus, that is, a point which does not necessarily have anything to do with the beta-cytotropic action of the sulfonamides, since also compounds which where W and R have the same meaning as above, in which the aldehyde groups may also be functionally modified, closing the ring, or  
  b. reacting the possibly optically active sulfohalide mentioned under a) with a 2-amino-5-W-R pyrimidine, where W and R have the same meaning as above, or  
  c. Reacting a possibly optically active sulfonamide of the general formula in which C*, X, Y, R R R R R and R have thesame meaning as above, in free form or as alkali salt I with a pyrimidine derivative of the general formula where W and R have the same meaning as above and Q is a halogen atom, preferably chlorine, or  
 d. reacting an acid chloride of the general formula with a possibly optically active amine of the general formula Where C*, X, Y, R R R R, and R have the same meaning as above, or  
  e. subjecting a racemate of the general formula 1 to racemate splitting, and possibly transforming the compounds obtained according to a) to e) with physiologically tolerable inorganic or organic bases into the respective salts.  
  The racemate splitting according to e) can be effected, for example, by formation of diastereomeric salts with strong, optically active bases.  
  The substituted malonedialdehyde used for the reaction as per a) can be obtained, for example, in that compounds of the general formula CH -W42 IEXAMPLE 1 S-(-)-[N-(5-isopropoxy-2-pyrimidinyl)sulfamoyl]- phenyl-aceticacid-l-phenyl ethylamide.
