Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

The invention relates to nove1 isobutyramides of the formula:

Description

10~809~

This invention relates to new isobutyramides and to a method for their preparation.
The novel isobutyramides I of this invention have the following general formula:

Rl ~ O - C - CO - NH - (CH2) - CN

wherein Rl represents a halogen atom and n is an integer from
2 to 6. The new compounds may be prepared by various methods hereinafter described.
In a first method an acyl chloride II of the formula:

Rl ~ O - C - COCl II

wherein Rl is as described above is reacted with an aminoalkyl nitrile derivatives III of the formula:
NH2 - (CH2)n - CN III
n being as defined above. The reaction is carried out in a suitable solvent such as a mixture of polar and non-polar solvents such as a mixture of dichloroethane and triethylamine and the like.
Another method for preparing the compounds of the present invention comprises reacting a substituted sodium phenolate IV of the formula:

Rl ~ ONa IV

with an N-cyanoalkyl-~-bromo-isobutyramide V of the formula:

Br - C - CONH - (CH2)n - CN V

10~09~
wherein Rl and n are as previously defined. The reaction is preferably carried out in the presence of a non-polar solvent such as ethanol. The N-cyanoalkyl-a-bromo-isobutyramide V may be obtained by interacting a-bromo-isobutyryl chloride VI with an aminoalkyl nitrile III as illustrated in the following reaction scheme:
fH3 Br - f - COCl + NH2 ~ (CH2)n - CN >

VI III
fH3 Br - f - CONH(CH2)nCN V

The starting phenolate IV is obtained by reacting the corresponding phenol with sodium in solution in ethanol. The ethanol is then diluted with an excess toluene after reaction of the sodium phenolate with the isobutyramide followed by distillation of the azeotrope.
The compounds of the present invention can also be prepared by the reaction in dioxane of the correspondingly substituted phenoxy isobutyramide of the formula:

Rl~o - f-- C0 - NH2 on the appropriate N-cyanoalkylene CH2=CH-(CH2)p-CN wherein p is an integer from 0 to 4 in the presence of a basic agent such as soda, at a temperature between 50 and 65C.
The reaction scheme is as follows:

10~09~

~ fH3 Basic agent 1 ~ 0 f - C0 - NH2 + CH2 = CH- (CH2)p CH
Rl ~ 0 - C - C0 - NH - (CH2jn - CN

The present invention will be more readily understood by referring to the following examples which are given to illustrate the invention only.

N-cyanoethyl-p-chlorophenoxy isobutyramide In a 2.5 litre reactor fitted with cooling and stirring means there were poured 1 litre of dry dichloroethane, 74 9 of triethylamine and 52 9 ~0.74 mol) of 3-aminopropio-nitrile. The mixture was stirred and there was then slowly added over a period of 30 minutes, a solution of 172 9 (0.74 mol) of p-chlorophenoxy isobutyryl chloride in 0.5 litres of dry dichloroethane. The temperature was maintained below 10C
during the addition period and then the mixture was refluxed for 4 hours and evaporated to dryness. The product obtained was washed with a sodium carbonate solution, treated with water, extracted with chloroform, dried, treated with diethyl ether and crystallized from di-isopropylether.
There was thus obtained 128 9 (yield 65%) of a white crystalline product melting at 70C, the composition of which is in complete agreement with the formula C13H15N202Cl (molecular weight 266.7).
This compound is insoluble in water but soluble in many organic solvents. The p-chlorophenoxy isobutyric acid chloride was obtained from p-chlorophenoxy isobutyric acid treated by SOC12 in anhydrous benzene.

10~8098 N-cyanoethyl-p-fluorophenoxy isobutyramide The procedure of Example 1 was repeated except that the p-chlorophenoxy isobutyryl chloride was replaced by p-fluorophenoxy isobutyryl chloride.
There was thus obtained, with a yield of 71%, a white crystalline product melting at 75C. The composition of the product was in agreement with the formula C15Hl5N202F;
(molecular weight 250.2).

N-cyanobutyl-p-chlorophenoxy isobutyramide The procedure of Example 1 was repeated except that
3-aminopropionitrile was replaced by 5-amino pentanonitrile;
yield 81% of a white crystalline product melting at 88C the analysis of which shows a good correspondence with the formula C15HlgN202Cl~
The compounds obtained according to this invention have been submitted to toxicological, pharmacological and clinical studies which are summarized thereafter.

N-cyanoethyl-p-chlorophenoxy isobutyramide Into a 25 litre reactor fitted with cooling and stirring means there were poured 3 litres of ethanol, 60 9 of sodium and 250 g of p-chlorophenol (1.944 mol). After stirring for 1 hour there were added 3 litres of toluene and the ethanol/toluene azeotrope was removed by distillation; 2 more litres of toluene were added and also 425 9 of N-cyanoethyl-~-bromo-isobutyramide, (1.944 mol).
The mixture was refluxed for 10 hours, and 2 litres of toluene were then removed by distillation. The resulting mixture was treated with water which gave a precipitate which ~u~o9~

was separated, washed with water, made acid with HCl until it was neutral, dried and crystallized from di-isopropylether.
There were thus obtained 348 9 (yield 67%) of a white crystalline product melting at 71C. The composition of the product corresponded to the formula C13H1502N2Cl (molecular weight 266.72). The compound was insoluble in water but solu-ble in most common organic solvents.

N-cyanoethyl-p-fluorophenoxy isobutyramide The procedure of Example 4 was repeated except that the p-chlorophenol was replaced by p-fluorophenol, which after the sodium treatment was reacted with N-cyanoethyl-~-bromo-isobutyramide.
There was thus obtained, with a yield of 67% a hhite crystalline product melting at 75C. The analysis shows a good correspondence with the formula C13H1502N2 (molecular weight 250.2).

After sepa-ration of the precipitate, washing with water and drying at 40C, there is obtained 1.380 9 at a beige product which, after recrystallization (isopropanol ~ water) leads to 1.001 9 (yield 73%) of a white crystalline product melting at 71C, the analysis of which shows a very good correspondence with the formula C13H1502N2Cl N-cyanoethyl-p-fluorophenoxy isobutyramide The procedure of Example 7 was repeated but p-chloro-phenoxy isobutyramide was replaced by p-fluorophenoxy isobutyr-amide.
