Proscillaridin-2',3'-orthoester-4'-methylether or proscillaridin 2',3'-orthocarbonate-4'-methylether derivatives of formula I

in which R1 represents an alkyl group containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms and R2 represents a hydrogen atom, or an alkoxy group containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms. These compounds find application in the treatment of cardiac insufficiency.

Description

-` 1054593 The present invention relates to bufatrienolide rhamnoside ethers and to a process for their preparation.
Proscillaridin 4'-methylether is ~nown, and, has good pharmacologi-cal properties which make it very suitable for the treatment of cardiac in-sufficiency. However, known processes for preparing this compound produce comparatively low yields. Thus, it is known that proscillaridin can be methy-lated and from the mixture of ethers thus obtained, a small yield of the 4'-methylether is isolated. Alternatively, proscillaridin can be converted into its 2',3'-acetonide, which can then be methylated. The isopropylidene residue is then separated. The yield obtained by using this process is about 25 %.
; It has now been found that certain bufatrienolide rhamnoside ethers can be produced more readily and in greater yields. Moreover, on ~; account of their enteral resorption characteristics, they are very suitable for the treatment of cardiac diseases.

lOS4593 in whLch Rl and R2 are as previously defined.
The starting of formula II is itself prepared by the reacting proscillaridin with a compound of the formula: CR10)3 CR2J wherein Rl and R2 have the same significance as stated above.
The reaction of proscillaridin with (R10)3 CR2 is effected in a suitable polar aprotic organic solvent, such as dioxan, tetrahydrofuran, ethylene glycol dimethylether or diethylene glycol dimethylether, with a tri--- alkylorthoester~ which is preferably trimethyl or triethyl orthoformate ~
~ i orthoa~ or with a tetraalkyl orthocarbonate, preferably tetramethyl or tetraethyl orthocarbonate, and traces of an inorganic or organic acid, such as, for example, hydrochloric acid or p-toluene-sulphonic acid. The crude product thus obtained, after conventional working up in an identical manner to that described in the literature for proscillaridin 2',3'-acetonide, is methylated in dimethylformamide utilising methyl iodide and an inorganic or organic base, preferably sodium hydride or barium hydroxide.
The invention will be further described, with reference to the ~-~
following non-limitative Examples.

Proscillaridin 2',3'-ethylorthoformate 4'-methylether.
To a solution of proscillaridin (5.3 g. 10 mMol) in an hydrous tetrahydrofuran ~25 ml) is added triethylorthoformate (5 ml) and p-toluene-sulphonic acid ~5 mg). The reaction mixture is stirred for 15 minutes at room temperature~ and is then treated with ethyl acetate (100 ml) and is shaken out with a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution ~30 ml). The organic phase is washed with water, dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated in vacuo. There is thus obtained 6.5 g of crude proscillaridin 2',3'-ethylortho-formate. The crude product is dissolved in dimethylformamide (50 ml), treated with methyl iodide (10 ml) and a substantially 55% suspension of sodium hydride in oil (4 g) and stirred for one hour at room temperature. Ethyl acetate is used for working-up the mixture, the organic phase then being repeatedly shaken out with water, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is subjected to chromatography on kiesel gel using a 2 : 1 mixture of methylene chloride and ethyl acetate as eluant.
There is thus obtained 3.5 g of pure proscillaridin 2', 3'-ethyl-orthoformate 4'-methylether, which represents 58% of the theoretical yield.
The product, in amorphous form, has a melting point of 120 to 125C and an [alD of - 74. (c = 0.5 chloroform). The compound has an Rf-value of 0.37 (thin layer chromatography on kiesel gel completed plates 60 R254 made by the firm E. Merck, Darmstadt; the eluant being a 2 : 1 mixture of methylene chlor-; 10 ide and ethyl acetate chamber saturation, flow path lS cm). The compound has an empirical formula of C34H4809 and a molecular weight of 600.7.
