Description
SPECIFICATION
Novel Azo Compounds and Process for Preparing Same 1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to novel azo compounds and a process for preparing the same and, more particularly, to the azo compounds and a process for preparing the azo compounds represented by the formula:
wherein X is hydrogen or halogen.The azo compounds are useful as precursors of disperse dyes and basic dyes and effective for therapeutic treatment.
2. Brief Description of Prior Art
Generally, azo compounds are known to be useful as dyes including disperse and basic dyes. It is also known that imidazole can be a component to form various azo compounds. It is not known, however, that the azo compounds of the above formula can be basic and disperse dyes and that in particular they are effective for therapeutic treatment.
It is generally known that, when imidazole is used as a coupling component of azo compounds, it is usually used in an amount of from about 1 to 1.5 moles bases on a diazo component to which imidazole is coupled. In this case, however, the reaction permits the production of by-products in which the diazo component may be coupled to the 4-imidazolyl group or one more diazo component may be coupled to the 4-imidazolyl group. Accordingly, this reaction has a difficulty in providing the azo compounds in a pure form.
Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to provide novel azo compounds having the formula as represented hereinabove.
Another object of the present invention is to provide novel azo compounds which are useful as precursors for the production of disperse and/or basic dyes as well as effective as therapeutic agents.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a process for preparing the azo compounds having the formula as represented hereinabove without any substantial production of by-products.
Other objects, advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent during the course of the description which follows, but any modifications and improvements to be obviously made should be understood not to deviate from the scope of the present invention.
The azo compounds according to the present invention include the azo compounds represented by the formula:
wherein X is hydrogen or halogen, and an acid addition salt. The term "halogen" is intended to mean chlorine, bromine, fluorine and iodine. The azo compounds may be converted in conventional manner into their acid addition salts including an inorganic acid addition salt such as hydrochloride, hydrobromide, sulfate, nitrate and phosphate, and an organic acid addition salt such as acetate, succinate, maleate, oxalate and tartrate.
The azo compounds according to the present invention may be prepared by first reacting a 2methoxyaniline or a reactive derivative thereof with sodium nitrite in the presence of hydrochloric acid and then coupling the resulting diazonium compound to imidazole in the amount of from approximately 5 to 10 moles based on the diazonium compound and, if desired, converting the azo compound into the corresponding acid addition salt.
The diazotization of a 2-methoxy aniline with a nitrite and hydrochloric acid may be carried out in conventional manner. The reaction conditions may be conventional and selected depending upon the type of reactants and other conditions.
The resulting diazonium compounds are then coupled to imidazole by reacting the former with the latter in the amount of from approximately 5 to 10 moles based on the diazonium compound. The resulting diazonium compounds may be used for the coupling reaction with or without being separated from the mixture where the diazonium compounds are formed. This reaction may be carried out in the presence of an alkali such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide or sodium carbonate or a buffer such as sodium acetate at a temperature of from 0 to 5 F for about 1 hour. It is obvious that the reaction conditions with respect to the reaction time and temperature or the like may be varied depending upon the types of the reactants and solvents and the like.
The azo compounds according to the present invention exhibit a pharmaceutical and therapeutic effects on hypotension, cardiac insufficiency or mucosa hyperemia.
It is shown that in particular, 2-[(2-methoxy-5-chlorophenyl)azo]-1 H-imidazole and 2-[(2methoxy-5-bromophenyl)azo]-1 H-imidazole possess the diuretic activity about 10 times that of furosemide as a control, when applied to rats, and the other compounds are also higher in diuretic activity than furosemide. It is also seen that the azo compounds have an acute toxicity low enough to cause no problem in a usual application.
The following examples serve as an illustration of the present invention, but it should be understood that they are not intended at all in any sense to restrict the present invention thereto. In the examples, the unit "parts" is represented in parts by weight.
