This invention relates to 1,3-diphenoxypropan-2-ol derivatives and their manufacture and use.
In our Canadian Patbnt No. 1,065,870, we have described and cIaimed compounds of the general formula .

Rl_ ~ 1 2 ~ (1) O-R

and their therapeutically acceptable salts, in which X
and Y are both -0-, or one of them is -~H-, and the other is -0-, or Y is -O- and X is -S-; Rl = -Cl or C(CH3)3; R2 = -H, or if X and Y denote -O- or Y is -O-: and X is -S-, nicotinoyl; A is a valence bond,. vinylene or ethylene; and R3 = COOH; -COOMe, (wherein M~ is sodium, potassium, magnesium, alwminium or a therapeutically ; acceptable ammonium cation); -COOR' (wherein R' is a ~traight or branched, saturated or unsaturated alkyl radical of l to 3 carbon atoms unsubstituted or bearing a terminal hydroxy, methoxy, chlorine, dimethylamino, or piperidyl-l radical, or R' is pyridyl-3-methyl); -CO~HOH, if X and Y are both -O- or Y iB -O- ~ and X is -S-:
O-R"
-CH , (wherein R" is methyl or ethyl when A
O-R"
;is a ~alente bond, X and Y are both -O or ~ is -0- and X

is -S-); or -CH l . , (where A is a valence bond, X and Y are both -O-, or Y is -O- and X is -S-.

.

3V~

The compounds of the general formula (1) have a good lipid-lowering actionl coupled with go~d tolerance.
They are thus suitable for the therapeutic treatment of hyperlipaemias.
- It Xas now been fow,~d that compoundsof the general formula (2) below also possess a strong lipid-lowering action, coupled with good tolerance.
, The present invention thus provides compounds of the formula R~ o-CH2-CH-cH2-o~
OH

in which Rl and A are as hereinbefore defined, and R4 is -COOR"', wherein Ri" is n-butyl, n-pentyl, n-hexyl, ~2,3-dihydroxypropyl, 2,2-dimethyl--1,3-dioxolan-4-yl-methyl, pivaloyloxymethyl, benzyl or phenyl, or -CO-~RiVRV
where either RiV=Rv and each is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl or one of RiV and Rv is hydrogen and the other is methyl or ethylO
The invention further provides processes for - the manufacture of the new 1,3-diphénoxypropan-2-ol derivatives of the general formula (2).
According to a first process a glycidyl ether of the ge~eral fo~mula , . .

~ - 3 -Rl ~ -O-CH2-CH - CH2 (3) \0/

in which Rl is as hereinbefore defined, is reacted with a phenol of the general formula HO ~ A-R4 (4) in which A is as hereinbefore defined and R4 represents n-alkoxycarbonyl in which the n-alkyl radical contains 4 to 6 carbon atoms or benzyl, in the presencelof a base, advantageously an alkali metal hydroxide or Lewis acids, for example boron trifluoride ethyl etherate.
In a second process, a ph0nol of the formula R1 ~ OH . (5) in which Rl is as hereinbefore defined is reacted, as described above, with a glycidyl ether of the formula H2C - CH-CH2-0 ~ A-R4 (&) in which -A-R4 has the meaning indicated in formula (4).
The manufacture of the esters of formula
(2) by transesterification is preferred. In this procedure, a compound of the general formula Rl ~ 0-CH2 CH-CH2-o ~ A-COOCH3 (7) OH
in which Rl and A are as hereinbefore defined, is reacted with an excess of the alcohol of formula R4-oH required for transesterification, in the presence of an acid or alkaline catalyst.
A further method of manufacturing esters of formula (2) consists in reacting a compound of the general formula Rl ~ O-CH2-CH-CH2-O ~ A-COOZ (8) OH
~ in which Rl and A are as hereinbefore defined and Z is an alkali'metal, for example sodium, or an alkylammonium group, with a halogeno compound of the general formula . 4 Hal-R (9) wherein Hal denotes chlorine or bromine and R4 is alkyl of 4 to 6 carbon atoms, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl, pivaloyloxy-methyl or benzyl in a dipolar aprotic solvent, such as, for example, hexamethylphosphoric acid triamide or dimethyl-formamide.
Esters according to formula (2) can also bemanufactured by reacting a compound of the general formula Rl_ ~ ~O~CH2~CH~CH2~0 ~ 3 A-CO-Hal (10) O--Z
in which Rl and ~ have the meaning indicated in formula (2), Z denotes an acetyl or benzyl group, and Hal represents chlorine or bromine, with n-b'utanol, n-pentanol, n-hexanol, benzyl'alcohol or phenol and subsequently, depending on its nature, selectively splitting off the protective group by hydrolysis or hydrogenolysis, without other irreversible changes in the molecule taking place simultaneously.
Amides of the general formula (11) Rl ~ ~H ~ -A-C0-~RiVRv (11) in which Rl, A, RiV, and Rv have the meanings - indicated in formula (2) can be manufaqtured by reacting a compound of the formula R ~3 f ~A-CO-Hal ( 12 ) 0-Ac in which Rl and A have the meaning indicated.in formula (2) 10 AC denotes an a-cetyl group, and Hal represents chlorine or bromine, with a~monia, methylamine, dimethylamine, ethylamine, or die!thylamine in excess and subsequently selectively splitting off the acetyl group by hydrolysis, without other . irreversible changes.in the molecule.taking place simultaneously.
~ Compounds acc~rding-to formula (2) in which Rl has the meaning indicated in formula (2), A represents an ethylene group and R2 is a hydrogenolytically inert ester - or amide radical can be easily manufactured, above all, by subjecting thé readily accessible compounds according to formula (2), in which-A represents a vinylene group and Rl and~R2 have the abovementioned meaning, to a catalytic hydro-genation, Raney nlckel preferably being used as the catalyst.
Glyci~yl ethers of the general formula (3) are formed in the reaction of compounds of the general formula (5), in which Rl has the meaning indicated in formula (2), with epi-halogenohydrins, preferably epichlorohydrin, in the presence , 39~

of bases, preferably alkali metal hydroxides, the halogeno-hydrins formed as intermediates, of the general formula (13) Rl ~ O-CH2-CH-~H2~Hal (13) OH
in which Rl has the meaning given above and ~al can be chlorine or bromine, not having to be isolated Glycidyl ethers of the general formula (6~ can be obtained by reacting compounds of the general formula (4), in which A and R2 have the meaning indicated in formula (4), with epihalogenohydrins in the presence of bases, preferably alkali metal hydroxides, it being possible to dispense with an isolation of the halogenohydrins first formed, of the general formula (14~

Hal-CH2-CH~CH2-O ~ A-R2 (14) -OH
in which~A and R2~have the meaning given above.
The compounds of the general formula (2) are prefer-ably administered orally. The oral daily dose for adults is usually 0.1 to 10 g, preferably 0.5 to 3 g.
The active compounds can be galenically compounded in the customary manner for oral administration.
Suitable pharmaceutical excipients are customary auxiliaries, such as lactose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, potato starch or maize starch, cellulose derivatives ox gelatine, optionally with the addition of lubricants, such as, for example, magnesium stearate or calcium stearate, Carbowax(R) or polyethylene glycols.
Preferred administration forms are push-fit capsules of hard gelatine or sealed capsules of soft gelatine with a plasticizer, such as, for example, glycerol. The push-fit capsules optionally contain the pure pulverulent active compound, if appropriate with the addition of a lubricant. In the case of appropriate physical properties of the active compound, processing to granules is p~eferred, potato starch, maize starch, amylopectin, cellulose deriva-tives, gelatine or also highly disperse silicas being con-jointly used as auxiliaries. Oily ac~ive compounds are made up in the pure form, preferably in soft gelatine capsules. The pure active compound is optionally dissolved - ln suitable liquids, that is to say, 'or example, in liquid polyethylene glycols or in vegeta~le oils.
In the following text, the invention is explained in ~ore detail with the aid of illustrative embodiments.

Example 10 Pharmacological testing 1. Oral tolerance After oral administration of the test compounds to mice of the strain NMR-I, weighing 15-20 g, the acute toxicity was determined. The LDSo values were calculated according to Litchfield-Wilcoxon [~. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther.
96, 99 (19492] and relate to the ~ighth day of the treatment. In this series of experiments the LD50 for Clofibrat was 1~900 mg/kg. The substances according to the invention were consi~tently better tolerated and superior to Clofibrat.
2. Lipid-lowerin~ action The lipid-lowering action was tested on grou~s of, in each case, 10 normolipaemic, male Spraque-Dawley rats (Ivanovas, Kisslegg~, weiyhing 190-230 g, on normal rations ("ssniff" complete feed~O
