The present invention relates to processes and intermediates for the preparation of compounds of formula (I):wherein R1 and R2 represent hydrogen or deuterium atoms; R3 represents a hydrogen atom or a -COOH, a -OH or a -OPO(OH)group; R4 represents a hydrogen atom or a fluorine atom; R5 represents a hydrogen atom or a -OH group; wherein at least one of R3 or R5 is different from a hydrogen atom; when R3 represents a-COOH, -OH or-OPO(OH)group, then R5 represents a hydrogen atom; when R5 represents a -OH group, then R3 and R4 represent hydrogen atoms; and R6 is selected from an optionally substituted phenyl, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl or heterocycloalkyl group.
