Abstract

Description

.

This invention relates to the synthesis of 2-keto-1,4-diazacycloalkanes, This application is a divisional application of Canadian Patent Application S.N. 310,371, filed August 30, 1978.
Organic materials, whether natural or synthetic, are conventionally protected against degradation by ultraviolet ( W ) light by incorporating a UV light stabilizer in the material. Many classes of compounds are known to be useful UV light stabilizers, some being more effective than others. Particularly effective com-pounds, which provide compositions resistant to degradation by UV light, include the decahydroquinolines disclosed in U.S. Patents 4,069,195 and 3,073,770, the 1,5-diazacycloalkanes and 2-keto-1,5-diazacycloalkanes disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,027,228 and, the 2-keto-1,4-diazacycloalkanes disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,190,571.
Other cycloalkanes useful as W light stabiliæers are disclosed in German Offenlegungsschrift 2,315,042, Japanese Patent Numbers 7,453,571 and 7,453,572, and in U.S. Patent Numbers 3,919,234, 3,920,659 and 3,928,330 which teach substituted piperazinediones.
The substituted piperazinediones are difficult to prepare, particularly with dialkyl ~ubstituents on each of two N4-adjacent symmetrical carbon atoms (here-after "symmetrical c atGms"). Once prepared, however, they may be reduced to the tetraalkyl substituted piper-azine as disclosed in German Offenlegungsschrift
2,315,042. There is no suggestion as to how a mono-keto structure, that is a 2-keto-1,4-diazacycloalkane structure, may be prepared with a total of two or more (hence "polysubstituted") substituents on symmetrical C atoms.
It is known that 4,4,6,6-tetramethyl-1,5-diazacycloheptan-2-one may be prepared by a Schmidt's rearrangement of a six-membered ring with sodium azide (see German Patent Number 2,428,877) but there is no known manner of similarly arriving at a six membered 1,4-diaza ring with an Nl-adjacent carbonyl.

It is known 1,4-diaza(3,3,5,5)-dipentamethylene-2-one may be prepared, starting with cyclohexanone by cyclization of bis(l-cyanocyclohexyl)amine, reducing with lithium aluminum hydride to form 1,4-diaza(2,2,5,5)-dipentamethylene-2-imino, treating with acetic anhydride and heating with hydrochloric acid. This is set out in greater detail in an article by ~elmut Egg in Monatshefto fur Chemie 106, 1167-1173 (1975). However, starting with acetone instead of cyclohexanone, the reactions do not proceed in an analogous manner to give 3,3,5,5-tetramethyl-piperazin-2-one. This Egg reference teaches substituted piperazines wherein each symmetrical N -adjacent carbon is part of a six membered ring and the cyclic substituent on each ~ -adjacent carbon is always the same. A single cyclic substituent on the N4-adjacent C atom of the fixed two-carbon bridge cannot be prepared by following the techni~ues of Egg.
Cis-3,3-dimethyl-decahydroquinoxalin-2-one has been prepared by cis-1,2-diaminocyclohexane, and it is disclosed that the cis-compounds are valuable intermediates for the production of pharmaceuticals, textile auxiliary products and synthetic materials. This reference states that the trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane is converted, with excess chloracetic acid, or with salts thereof, into 1,2-diaminocyclohexane-~,N'-tetraacetic acid, which is quite unlike the behavior of the cis starting material. The cis-2-keto-1,4-diazacycloalkane is prepared by reacting an aqueous solution of cis-1,2-diaminocyclohexane with acetone cyanohydrin, and heating the reaction solution to dryness. The reference does not teach formation of a trans-5,6-polyalkylene-2-keto-diazacycloalkane, and there is no suggestion as to how it could be made. In fact, it is to be understood that the trans-2-keto-1,4-diazacyclo-alkane cannot be made, since Bindler states that cis-1,2-diaminocyclohexane behaves differently from trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane; the positioning of the two primary amine moieties imparts distinctly different properties to the isomers. This difference, and particularly the 6~

essential diflerence in c~clization behavior of the primary amine moieties, is used to advantage in the separation of the isomers. The cis isomer cyclizes and complexes with Ni and Cu, the trans isomer does not.
Nevertheless we have found that trans-2-keto-1,4-diaza-cyclohexane can now be formed in a manner analogous to that in which the cis-2-keto-1,4-diaæacyclohexane is ~ormed.
Following the teachings of Bindler, ethylene diamine may be substituted for cyclohexanediamine, and
3,3-dimethyl-2-keto-piperazine is obtained. However, when a substituted ethylene diamine is used, the sub-stituents appear on the No. 6 carbon of the diaza ring.
For example with 1,2-propane diamine, 3,3,6-trimethyl-2-keto-piperazine is formed, and with 2-methyl-1,~-propane diamine the co~pound obtained is 3,3,6,6-tetramethyl-2-keto-piperazine. ~o. 6-substituted and 3-substituted carbons are not symmetrical carbon atoms about the same N-adjacent atom in the diaza ring (hereinafter referred to as "symmetrical N-adjacent C atoms"). These com-pounds are quite unlike the novel compounds claimed.
Moreover, 3,3,6,6-tetraalkyl substituted diazacyclo-alkan-2-ones, in which the substituents are not on symmetrical ~-adjacent C atoms, are relatively ineffective W stabili~ers, confirmin~ my experience that the more substituents on symmetrical ~-adjacent C atoms, the better the stabilization effect.
It is known that 2,2,4-trimethyl-tetrahydro-quinoline can be hydrogenated to form a mixture of cis and trans 2,2,4-trimethyldecahydroquinoline, and, in general, the trans isomer is the major constituent.
However, 2,2-dimethyltetrahydroquinoxaline is not hydro-genated in an analogous manner.
It is to the problem of synthesizing polysub-stituted 2-keto-1,4-diazacycloalkanes, efficiently and economically, 90 that they can be manufactured for com-mercial use, that this invention is directed.

~98~9
4 --It has been discovered that polysubstituted 2-keto-1,4-diazacycloalkanes may be prepared from readily available starting materials, in simple, con-ventional apparatus, without the high risks attendant upon using hydrogen cyanide.
In accordance with the present invention novel synthesis have been discovered (hereinafter referred to as "the ketoform synthesis") wherein a pre-selected 1,2-diamine is reacted with a saturated acyclic or cyclic monoketone, and, a haloform, in the presence of (i) an onium salt catalyst (ii) an organic solvent, and (iii) aqueous alkali.
In particular there is provided, in accordance with the invention a method for preparing a polysub-stituted 2-keto-1,4-diazacycloalkane compound comprising reacting a diamine selected from the group consisting of an acyclic 1,2-diamine and a cyclic 1,2-diamine with a compound having a carbonyl bond selected from the group consisting of monoketones and monoaldehydes, in : 20 the presence of an aqueous alkali and an onium selected from the group consisting of the ternary salts of Group VIA elements and the quaternary salts of Group VA
elements, and a haloform, forming said polysubstituted 2-keto-1,4-diazacycloalkane compound and recovering said polysubstituted compound.
The basic structure o the compounds prepared by the syntheses described herein, is a polysubstituted (hereafter also referred to as "substituted" for brevity~
2-keto-1,4-diazacycloalkane having (a) a fixed two-carbon bridge between the two N atoms (the N and N atoms) of the diaza ring, the remaining portion of the ring having a variable length bridge of two or more carbon atoms, (b) an N -adjacent carbonyl in the fixed two-carbon bridg~, and (c) at least the ~4-adjacent carbon-of the fixed two-carbon bridge has two substituents (hence "polysubstituted"~, which may be cyclizable, that is, form a cyclic substituent. These compounds -1~9~69 ~ 5 -which may be monocyclic, or with cyclizable substituents, may be bicyclic or tricyclic, are particularly useful as W light stabilizers in substantially colorless organic materials. The compounds may also form dimers and biscompounds. The diaza ring of the basic structure may have from 6 to 9 ring members, more preferably from 6 to 8 ring members, and most preferably from 6 to 7 ring members.
These substituted 2-keto-1,4-diazacycloalkanes characteristically have two substituents, which may be cyclizable, on the ~ -adjacent C atom of the fixed two-carbon bridge. They are particularly useful as W
light stabilizers in compositions subject to W light degradation. As stabilizers they are used in the range from about 0.01 to about 5 parts by weight, and prefer-ably from about 0.1 to about 1.0 part per one hundred parts (phr) of organic material subject to W light.
These materials may be low or high molecular weight materials, and particularly include homopolymers, co-polymers and mixtures thereof. Examples of materialsthat can be stabilized against degradation due to W
light are oils; monomers, particularly ~,~-olefinically unsaturated monomers such as acrylates, dines, vinyl nitriles, and the like; and other relatively lower mole-cular weight materials than synthetic resinous polymers, such as alcohols, aldehydes, and the like. Examples of known materials which can be stabilized with polysub-stituted 2-keto-1,4-diazacycloalkanes are natural rubber, synthetic rubbers such as cis-polystyrene, polyacrylo-nitrile, polymethacrylates, polycarbonates, varnish,phenol-formaldehyde resins, polyepoxides, polyesters, and polyolefin homo and copolymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene-propylene polymers, ethylene-propylenediene polymers, ethyl-vinyl acetate polymers, and the like. The substituted 2-keto-1,4-diazacyclo-alkanes can also be used to stabilize mixtures and blends of polymeric materials such as ABS resin blends, PVC
and polymethacrylate blends, and blends of polyolefin ~1 `..

(II), and (III~ ~ ~ R2 wherein n represents an integer in the range from 0 to about 6, so when n is 0 then (II) and (III) represent substituted 2-keto-piperazine, and when n is 4 with the variable length bridge cyclized, then (II) and (III) represent 2-keto-decahydroquinoxaline; and, R5, R6, R7 R8 in the variable length bridge have the same connotation - as R2 and R3 in (I) hereinabove, and additionally may be H, except that R5 andR6 are different if either H, R2, R3 may be cyclizable, as may be R5, R6, R7, R8; and, if cyclized, the cyclic substituents may be the same or different.

g8~9 It will now be evident that many of the substituents identified hereinabove may not be made directly by the syntheses of this invention, but by additional steps after having fonmed the substituted 2-keto-1,4-diazacycloalkane.
These additional steps are well known to those skilled in the art, and do not require detailed description herein.
In particular, dimers and bis compounds of substituted 2-keto-1,4-diazacycloalkanes can be prepared by known methods, once the desired 2-keto-1,4-diazacycloalkane is obtained by a chosen synthesis.
In the keto form synthesis of the invention 1~2-diamines are reacted with a saturated or unsaturated mono-ketone or monoaldehyde and a haloform reactant, in an organic solvent for the reactants, in the presence of aqueous alkali and an onium salt as a catalyst. By "onium Salts" is intended ternary or quaternary salts such as are generally used in the phase transfer catalysis of heterogeneous reactions in immiscible liquids. A wide variety of onium salts is effective in this ketoform synthesis~ m ese onium salts include the well-known salts ~ of Group VA of the Periodic Table, and some Group VIA
i elements such as are disclosed in a review in Angewandte Chemie, International Edition in English, 16 493-558 (August 1977). Discussed therein are various anion transfer reactions where the onium salt exchanges its original ion for other ions in the aqueous phase, making it possible to carry out chemistry there with the trans-ported anion includingOH ions.
m e onium salts suitably include one or more groups having the formula (RnY) X , wherein Y is either a pentavalent ion derived from an element of Group VA, or a tetravalent ion derived from an element of Group VIA, R is an organic moiety of the salt molecule bonded to Y by four covalent linkages when Y is pentavalent, and three co-valent linkages when Y is ~etravalent; X is an anion which will dissociate from the cation (RnY) in an aqueous environment. The group ~RnY)+X may be repeated as in the case .

: ' .

11`~98~9 of dibasic quaternary salts having two pentavalent Group VA ions substituted in the manner described.
The preferred onium salts for use in the invention have the formula ( RlR2R3R4Y+ ) X~
wherein Y is N or P, and Rl-R4 are monovalent hydro-carbon radicals preferably selected from the group con-sisting of alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, alkaryl, aralkyl and cycloalkyl moieties or radicals, optionally substituted with suitable heteroatom-containing functional groups.
The onium salts are generally selected to be less pre-ferentially less soluble in the less polar of the two distinct liquid phases. Any of the salts disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 3,992,~32 will be found effective, but most preferred are those in which the total number of carbon atoms in R , R , R3 and R4 cumulatively range from about 13 to about 57, and preferably range from about 16 to about 30. Most preferred onium salts have Y=N, and hydrocarbon radicals where Rl is CH3, and R2, R3 and ~ are each selected from the group consisting 4 ~ 5Hll; mixed C5Hll; n-C6~I13; mixed C H ; C6H5; C6H5CH2; n-C8H17, n C12 H25; 18 37 mixed C8-C10 alkyl; and the like. However, Rl may also be selected from C2H5~ n-C3H7 and n-C4Hg.
Various counterions may be used, including Cl , Br , I , N03 , S04 , HS04 and CH2C02 . Most preferred is Cl .
The reaction may be carried out at any temperature within a wide range frorn about the freezing point to the reaction mass to about the reflux temperature of the solvent, provided it is lower than a temperature -which is deleterious to the 2-keto-1,~-diazacycloalkane formed. The reaction is of particular interest because it generally proceeds at room temperature at satisfactory speed, substantially faster than the synthesis from tranq-1,2-diaminocycloalkane with cyanohydrin, parti-cularly acetone cyanohydrin in an aqueous medium to yield trans-3,3-dimethyl-decahydroquinoxalin-2-one, with better yields.
..

~-` llD~869 The reacti~n may also be carried ou~ at any desired pressure from subatmospheric to superatmospheric, but atmospheric pressure is preferably employed for con-venience, and because there appears to be no substantial advantage to be gained from operating at higher pressures.
The 1,2-diamines may include two primary amlne moieties, one primary amine moiety and one secondary amine moiety, or two secondary amine moieties. The amine i9 chosen to provide, upon cyclization, the desired number of C atoms in the variable length bridge, and also to provide the desired substituents on pre-selected C atoms of this bridge. It will thus be evident that a straight chain or acyclic diamine will will be appropriate where a monocyclo-1,4-diazacyclo-alkane is to be synthesized.
In particular the diamines may be acyclic 1,2-diamines, for example, alkyl amines; and cyclic 1,2-diamines, for example, o-phenyl diamine and cyclo-hexyldiamines, for example, 1,2-diaminocyclohexane.
The 1,2-diamines may be chosen to provide upon cyclization, the desired number of C atoms in the variable length bridge, and also to provide the desired substituents on preselected C atoms of this bridge. A cyclic diamine will be appropriate where a bicyclo-1,4-diazacycloalkane is to be synthesized.
The mono-ketone is preferably saturated and may be cyclic or acyclic. Useful ketones are those which cyclize forming a fixed two-carbon bridge between the and N4 atoms of the diaza ring. Preferred~mono-ketones are cycloalkanones, dialkylketones and aralkylketones.
The monoaldehyde is preferably saturated and may be cyclic or acyclic. Useful monoaldehydes are those which cyclize forming a fixed two-carbon bridge between the Nl and ~4 atoms of the diaza ring. Preferred monoaldehydes are cycloaldehydes, dialkylaldehydes and aralkylaldehydes.

I~ will presently be reco~nized from the examples herein, that polyketones and polyaldehydes, for example, diketones and dialdehydes, will yield bis compounds.
The presence of haloform in the reaction mass is essential, and it appears that the haloform is a reactant while the onium salt provides the catalytic action. Preferred haloforms are chloroform and bromo-form. It is essential that at least a stoichiometric amount of haloform be used if no amine is to be left unreacted. Though a small amount of unreacted amine is not deleterious, it is desirable to employ a slight excess over stoichiometric of the haloform. Though an excess up to about a 50% ex~ess over stoichiometric provides accept-able results, more than 50% over stoichiometric is to be avoided because of the formation of undesirable side pro-ducts.
The preferred aqueous alkali is an alkali metal hydroxide solution such as aq~eous sodium hydroxide, or potassium hydroxide, preferabl~ in the range from about 20 percent to about 70 percent. The amount used is not critical but at least a trace amount appears to be essential for the progress of the desired reaction.
It is preferred to use sufficient aqueous alkali solution to form a visually distinct aqueous phase in the presence of the organic solvent phase. In general, the amount of aqueous alkali used is preferably at least 5 percent by weight of the reaction mass. There is no advantage to using more aqueous alkali than about 75 percent by weight of the reaction mass.
Though the amount of onium salt catalyst used is not critical, its catalytic function appears to be unique in this ketoform synthesis. In general, it is sufficient to use less than 2 percent by weight of the reaction mass, and it is preferred to use in the range from about 0.1 to about 1 percent by weight.

8~9 In gerleral, this synthesis will provide a 2-keto-1,4-diazacycloalkane with substltuents both at the
