Compounds of formula I in which Q is -CO-, B is hydrogen and R3 is CH3 or COO(C1a alkyl) may be prepared by alkylating a piperidine derivative of formula II
wherein R, and R2 are as defined above, with an -haloalkyl phenyl ketone of formula Ill
wherein halo is a halogen atom such as chlorine, bromine or iodine, Z is hydrogen or methoxyethoxymethyl (memoxy),-P6 is CH3 or COO(C1~6 alkyl) and n is as defined above. When Z is memoxy, this group is cleaved in conventional manner, after the alkylation, to obtain the products in which A is hydroxy.The alkylation reaction is carried out in a suitable solvent, preferably in the presence of a base and optionally in the presence of a catalytic amount of potassium iodide for 4 to 1 20 hours and at 700C to the reflux temperature of the solvent. Suitable solvents for the alkylation reaction include alcohol solvents such as methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol or butanol, ketone solvents such as methyl isobutyl ketone, hydrocarbon solvents such as benzene, toluene or xylene, and halogenated hydrocarbons such as chlorobenzene, methylene chloride or dimethylformamide. Suitable bases for the alkylation reaction include inorganic bases such as sodium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate or potassium bicarbonate, and organic bases, e.g. a trialkylamine such as triethylamine, or pyridine. Alternatively, an excess of a compound of formula II may be used.Cleavage of any memoxy group is achieved using trifluoroacetic acid at room temperature or 5 to 8 equivalents of powdered an hydros zinc bromide in methylene chloride at 25-400C by the general procedure of E. J. Corey et a/., Tetrahedron Letters 11,809-812(1976).
Compounds of formula I in which Q is -CO-, B is hydrogen and R3 is COOH may be prepared by base hydrolysis of a corresponding C16 alkyl ester. Base hydrolysis may be achieved by treatment with an inorganic base such as sodium hydroxy or potassium hydroxide in an aqueous C14 alcohol such as methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol or n-butanol at reflux for T to 12 hours. When it is desired that A should be hydroxy, base hydrolysis of the corresponding ester in which the A group is protected as memoxy may be effected before hydrolysis, but hydrolysis subsequent to cleavage is preferred.
Compounds of formula I in which 0 is -CHOH, A is hydroxy, B is hydrogen and R3 is methyl may be prepared from the corresponding compounds in which 0 is -CO- by reduction. Reduction may be achieved by using sodium borohydride or potassium borohydride in a C14 alcohol. Alternatively, lithiun aluminium hydride or diborane may be used as the reducing agent, in which case suitable solvents are ethers such as ethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane. These reduction reactions are carried out at from OOC to the reflux temperature of the system. The reaction time may be from T to 8 hours.
Catalytic reduction may also be used. Suitable systems include Raney nickel, palladium, platinum or rhodium catalysts in a C14 alcohol or acetic acid, optionally in admixture with water, or by using aluminium isopropoxide in isopropyl alcohol. Catalytic reduction is less preferred in the specific embodiment discussed above.
Compounds of formula I in which Q is -CHOH-, B is hydrogen and R3 is COO(C,~6 alkyl) may be prepared from the corresponding compounds in which 0 is -CO- by reduction, preferably using a borohydride or catalytic reduction.
Compounds of formula I in which Q is-CHOH-, B is hydrogen and R3 is COOH may be prepared from the corresponding compounds in which Q is -CO- by reduction, preferably using a borohydride or catalytic reduction. Alternatively, the same products may be prepared by base hydrolysis of the corresponding esters, using the conditions discussed above for base hydrolysis.
Compounds of formula I in which 0 is -CHOH-, B is hydrogen and R3 is CH2OH may be prepared from compounds of formula I in which B is hydrogen and R3 is COOH or COO(C,~6 alkyl) by reduction. Lithium aluminium hydride is the preferred reducing agent when, in the starting material, 0 is -CO- and R3 is COO(C,~6 alkyl). Diborane is the preferred reducing agent when R3 is COOH.
The starting materials for this sequence of reactions, i.e. the compounds of formulae II and Ill, are either known or can be prepared by procedures generally known in the art. For example, the compounds of formula Il in which P1 is hydrogen or hydroxy and R2 is hydrogen are commercially available. The corresponding compound in which R, and R2 form a second bond may be prepared by conventional dehydration of the compounds in which R, is hydroxy and R2 is hydrogen.
The compounds of formula Ill in which Z is memoxy may be prepared by reacting a phenol of formula V
wherein R6 is as defined above with an w-haloalkanoic acid of the formula halo-(CH2)-COOH wherein halo and n are as defined above in the presence of boron trifluoride by the procedure of Delschager and Mousa, Arch. Pharm. 306, 807 (1973). The phenol and acid are melted together at about 500C and then cooled to about 1 00C, after which boron trifluoride is added in an amount about 2.2 times the molar amount of phenol employed. The mixture is heated at about 700C for about 2 hours, after which the reaction vessel is cooled, vented and treated with a 30% sodium acetate solution and extracted with ether.The organic layer is dried and the residue crystallised to give a hydroxy ketone corresponding to formula Ill but in which Z is hydroxy. The hydroxy ketone is then treated with a reagent of the formula CH30CH2CH20CH2NEt+3CI- in acetonitrile according to the general procedure of E. J. Corey et a/., Tetrahedron Letters 11,809-812(1967).
The compounds of formula III wherein Z is hydrogen are prepared by reacting a C16 alkyl ester of ,',c'-dimethylphenylacetic acid with a C16 co-haloalkanoyl halide under the general conditions of a Friedel-Crafts acylation. The reaction is carried out in a solvent such as carbon disulfide (preferred), tetrachloroethane or nitrobenzene. The reaction time varies from T to 8, preferably 3 to 5, hours, and the reaction temperature varies from 0 to 250C. The esters and the acid halides are known or easily prepared by generally known methods.
The compound of formula V in which R6 is methyl is also commercially available. The compounds of formula V in which R6 is COO alkyl are prepared by treating a hot solution of 1 equivalent of a C,~6 alkyl ester of 3-trifluoroacetoxyphenylacetic acid in dimethoxyethane with a base such as sodium hydride under a nitrogen atmosphere, followed by the addition of 2.1 equivalents of methyl iodide in dimethoxyethane to the mixt- re over about 20 minutes. The mixture is refluxed for about 3 hours and then concentrated to remove most of the solvent, after which ethyl ether and then water are added cautiously. The organic layer is separated, extracted with ethyl ether, dried over magnesium sulfate and distilled to give the appropriate ester of (z,-dimethyl-3-trifluoroacetoxyphenylacetic acid.To a solution of the methylated ester in 50% alcohol/water is added 3x molar amount of potassium carbonate. The solution is stirred at about 250C for about 8 hours and then concentrated to a semi-solid at reduced pressure at about 500C. Upon cooling, water is added and the mixture is neutralised with dilute hydrochloric acid and then extracted with ether. The ether extract is dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give the appropriate ester of 3-hydroxy-a,-dimethylphenylacetic acid. The esters of 3-trifluoroacetoxyphenylacetic acid are known in the art or may be prepared by procedures generally known in the art, for example, form ethyl m-hydroxyphenylacetate by treatment with trifluoroacetic anhydride.
Compounds of formula I in which Q is -CHOH-, B is hydroxy and R3 is CH3 or COOH may be prepared by treating a compound of formula IV
wherein either P9 is hydrogen or trifluoroacetoxy and P10 is hydrogen or P9 and P10 together form a second bond, and n and R6 are as defined above, with a slight excess of thallium trifluoroacetate in trifluoroacetic acid at reflux temperature (about 720C) for about 3 hours, after which 1 equivalent of lead tetraacetate in trifluoroacetic acid is added. The mixture is stirred for about T hour and then 1 equivalent of triphenylphosphine is added. Stirring is continued for about T hour, followed by removal of excess solvent at reduced pressure and the addition of cold dilute (6 N) hydrochloric acid.The lead chloride and thallium chloride are filtered off, and the filtrate is made alkaline with 10% NaOH solution and any precipitate is dissolved in a minimum amount of ethanol. The solution is refluxed for about 4 hours, neutralised, concentrated, extracted with toluene, dried, filtered and concentrated.
Compounds of formula I in which Q is -CHOH-, B is hydroxy and R3 is COO(C~6 alkyl) may be obtained by esterifying the corresponding acid in which R3 is COOH, using 2 or 3 equivalents of boron trifluoride etherate and 20 or 30 equivalents of a C18 alkanol. The mixture is refluxed for about 24 hours, according to the general procedure of Kadaba, J. Pharm. Sci. 63, 1333 (1974). Upon cooling, the mixture is added to about 100 ml of water, concentrated at reduced pressure on a water bath, and the product purified by crystallisation from alcohois or mixtures thereof with toluene.
Compounds of formula I in which Q is -CHOH-, B is hydroxy and R3 is CH2OH may be prepared from the corresponding compounds in which R is COOH or COO(C,~6 alkyl) by reduction, preferably using lithium aluminium hydride or diborane under the conditions described above.
Compounds of formula I in which 0 is -CO-, B is hydrogen and R3 is CH3, COOH or COO(C,~6 alkyl) may be prepared from the corresponding compound in which Q is -CHOH- by oxidation.
Various oxidising agents may be used. For example, chromium trioxide in pyridine or acetic acid at from 25 to 800C for 1 to 8 hours may be employed. Alternatively, aluminium isopropoxide or potassium tert-butoxide in acetone, cyclohexanone or benzophenone, usually with an aromatic solvent such as benzene or toluene, at 250C to reflux for 8 to 24 hours may be employed. Another procedure is to use potassium dichromate in dilute sulfuric acid at O to 250C, preferably 250C, for about 1 to 8 hours. A further oxidation method uses MnO2 in CH2CI2 at 0 to 400C for about 2 to 10 hours.
Compounds of formula I in which 0 is -CO- and R3 is CH2OH may be prepared from the corresponding compounds in which R3 is COOH or COO(C,~6 alkyl), by reduction. During the reduction, the 0 group must be protected as a ketal. The ketone may be converted to a ketal by treatment with a glycol such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol or 2,2-dimethylpropylene glycol in a hydrocarbon solvent such as benzene or toluene and in the presence of a catalytic amount of an acid such asp- toluenesulfonic acid of methanesulfonic acid. During the ketalisation step, water is removed continuously, e.g. in a Dean-Stark apparatus, and the reaction is carried out at reflux for 4 to 24 hours.
Reduction of the ketalised derivative is achieved using, for example, lithium aluminium hydride or diborane in an ether solvent such as ethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane at reflux for 1 5 minutes to 6 hours. When R3 is COOH, the preferred reducing reagent is diborane. When R3 is COO(C,~6 alkyl), the preferred reducing reagent is lithium aluminium hydride. Following the reduction, the carbonyl group is regenerated by treating the ketal with a dilute cold aqueous acid such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid or trifluoroacetic acid.
The starting materials of formula IV in which P9 is trifluromethylacetoxy may be prepared by reacting a compound of formula I in which Q is -CO-, R, is hydroxy, R2 is hydrogen and R3 is CH3 or COO(C,~6 alkyl) with trifluoroacetic anhydride for 2 to 6 hours at 0 to 250C with stirring, followed by catalytic reduction using, for example, platinum oxide in methanol and 1 atmosphere hydrogen in a Parr apparatus to take up an equivalent amount of hydrogen.
The following Examples 1 to 7 and 9 illustrate the preparation of compounds of formula I in which Q is -CO-. Examples 8 and 10 to 12 illustrate the preparation of compounds of formula I in which 0 is -CHOH-.
