The resulting compounds of formula I may be isolated and purified in conventional manner. λ compound of formula II, used as starting material may be obtained by a) reacting a compound of formula IV, 444© wherein R^ is as defined above, with a compound of formula V, CH^-MgY V wherein Y is chlorine, bromine or iodine, especially bromine, under conventional conditions for a Grignard reaction, b) hydrolysing the resulting reaction complex to give a 11-methyl-ll-hydroxy reaction product, c) dehydrating the 11-methyl-ll-hydroxy reaction product in conventional manner to give a compound of formula VI, Ιθ wherein as defined above, and d) converting the compound of formula VI in conventional manner into a compound of formula II.
Insofar as the preparation of any starting material is not particularly described, this is knovm or the compound may be produced and purified in known manner or in analogous manner to methods described herein or in analogous manner to known processes.
Free base forms of compounds of formula I may be converted into acid addition salt form in conventional manner and vice versa. Suitable acids for salt formation include hydrochloric acid, methanc-sulphonic acid or maleic acid.
In the following Examples all temperatures are uncorrected and are in degrees Centigrade. Ether means diethyl ether. 44446 EXAMPLE 1: raz:in-l-vl) morphai-itRridi.net a') SfSbloroxll^m.efchylerieymorchsnthridine g of 5,6-dihydro-ll-methylene-morphanthridin-6-one are boiled for. 2 hours with 3 ml-of Ν,Ν-dimethylaniline and 80 ml of phosphoryl chloride. The resulting dark solution is concentrated in a vacuum. The residue is treated with xylene and once again the mixture is evaporated in a vacuum. The residue is dissolved in 80 ml of xylene and the solution is poured onto icewater. The mixture is extracted twice with xylene. The xylene extracts are combined, washed in turn with dilute hydrochloric acid, water and a saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution, dried over sodium sulphate and treated with active 'charcoal. The xylene solution is filtered through aluminium oxide and concentrated to a volume of loo to 150 ml In a vacuum. This solution contains 6-chloro-ll-methylene-morphanthridine which is used directly in step b).-20 b) ll-MethylenepS-(4-methvlpiperazln-l-yl)-morPhanfchridine The xylene solution Of 6-ehloro-ll-methylene-morphanthridine Is treated with 8 g of N-methylpiperazine and the mixture is boiled for 4 hours. The hydrochloride salt of N-methylpiperazine precipitates out of solution. The mixture is treated with water and 25 ml of a concentrated sodium hydroxide aqueous solution. The organic phase is shaken twice with ether, washed with water and extracted with 2N hydrochloric acid.
The acid extract Is made alkaline with 2N aqueous sodium Hydroxide solution and the resulting oily phase which separates out is extracted twice with ether. The ether extracts are combined, washed with water and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over sodium sulphate, treated vzith active charcoal and then filtered through aluminium oxide. Recrystallization from ether/petroleum ether yields ll-methylene-6-(4-methylpiperazin-l-yD-morphanthridine as prisms; M.Pt. 119° 120°.
In analogous manner to that described in Example I using the appropriate starting materials of formulae II and III the following compounds of formula I are obtained, wherein :- :.Ho.R1R2 M.Pt. 2 H ii jl9O-l95°C 1) 2) (_2O8-211 °C 1) 3) 3 HO-CH2-CH2- H 151-155°C 2) 4 5 BO-CH2-CH2~ H Cl Cl 147-149°C 130-138°C 2) 6 CH3 Cl 162-164 °C 7 H F 125-126°C 8 ch3 F 138-14O°C & 4 4 49 decomposition . . 2} . maleate salt form. 3) methane sulphonate salt form The production of the 5,,6-dihydro-3-halo-ll5 methylene-morphanthridin-6-enes used as starting materials of formula IV may be effected as follows r-_ a) luora-reorghanthridiri-G ,ΙΙ^ίίοηε A solution of 88 g of chromium (VI) trioxide in 60 ml of water is added dropwise Over 4 hours to a stirred solution of 5,6-dihydro~3-fluoro-mOrphanthridin-6-one in 1.5 litres of acetic acid warmed to 60°C. The mixture is then heated for 1 hour under reflux, cooled and then poured onto icewater. The crystals formed are separated Off and washed with water. After drying the heading compound M.Pt. 28215 285°C (sublimation) is obtained.
