Description
This invention concerns l-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-lH-3-benzazepines having pharmaceutical activity, especially as dopaminergic agents, a process for their preparation and compositions containing them.
United States Patent No. 4 104 379 discloses certain 1-phenyl5 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-lH-benzazepine derivatives and their use as diuretic and/or cardiovascular agents. Swiss Patent No. 555 831 discloses certain other l-phenyl-2,3,4,5~tetrahydro-lH-benzazepine derivatives and their use as antibacterial, antidepressant, analgesic and hypotensive agents.
According to the present invention there are provided compounds of 10 the following structural formula (I): in which: R1 is hydrogen, allyl or lower alkyl, for example, methyl or ethyl; is hydrogen, halo, for example, chloro, bromo, fluoro or iodo, or lower alkyl, for example, methyl, ethyl or propyl; R3 is hydrogen or, when R2 is other than hydrogen, R^ can also be halo or lower alkyl; and R^ and Rg, which are the same or different, are hydrogen or lower alkyl.
The term lower alkyl, whenever used herein refers to alkyl groups which contain from 1-4 carbon atoms.
Also included are pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the compounds of Formula I, said salts having a similar pharmacodynamic activity to that of the bases with non-limiting side effects. Examples of organic or inorganic acids for forming such salts are maleic, malic, fumaric, succinic, methanesulfonic, ethanedisulfonic, salicylic, citric, hydrochloric, sulfamic, phosphoric, nitric, sulfuric and hydrobromic acids. The compounds of Formula I and their salts can also exist as solvates, for example, hydrates. The salts can be prepared by methods known to the art, for example by reacting a base of Formula I with an excess of acid in a solvent, for example, a lower alkyl alcohol.
The invention further includes 0-alkanoyl esters of the compounds of 5 Formula I, having from 2-6 carbon atoms in each alkanoyl group, and they can be prepared by methods known to the art, for example, by reaction of an appropriate compound of Formula I with an alkanoyl halide in the presence of a tertiary organic base, with any reactive nitrogen atoms, for example at the 3-position or the nitrogen atom of the sulfamyl group protected. Examples of such 0-alkanoyl derivatives are acetyl, valeryl, isobutyryl and propionyl.
As will be appreciated, the compounds of Formula I have an asymmetric carbon atom and they therefore can exist as optical isomers. Such isomers can be separated by methods known in the art.
A subgeneric group of compounds of Formula I is that in which R1 and R2 are as defined above; and R3» R^ and Rg are all hydrogen. These compounds have pronounced peripheral dopaminergic activity and increase renal blood flow.
The compounds of Formula I have pharmaceutical activity, for 20 example, hypotensive, antibacterial, antidepressant and analgetic activity.
The compounds of this invention can be prepared by the following reactions: The intermediates of Formula II have R2, Rg, R^ and Rg, as defined for Formula I; X is chloro or bromo; R-| is lower alkyl, allyl or a N-protecting group, for example, trichloroacetyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, tri fluoroacetyl or benzyl; and Rg and Ry are lower alkyl of 1-4 carbons, especially methyl or, when taken together, ethylene or especially methylene.
The term N-protecting group is used to indicate a substituent at the 3-position which prevents reaction at this position which would otherwise occur with a chemically reactive hydrogen at this position. The N-protecting group can then be removed after the desired chemical reaction by standard reactions to regenerate a secondary amine (R1 is hydrogen). Such groups are commonly used in the polypeptide or antibiotic arts. Groups commonly used are - tert-butoxycarbonyl, tri chloroethoxycarbonyl, £-methoxybenzylcarbonyl, isobornyloxycarbonyl, trityl, benzhydryl and others suitable for protecting a secondary amino function. Reference to the use of other protecting groups for N or 0 functions can be had to Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, J.F.W. McOmie, Plenum Press, New York, 1973.
Reaction of compounds of Formula II to prepare compounds of Formula III is conveniently effected in an organic solvent inert to the reactants and in which the reactants are soluble, for example, dimethyl formamide, dimethylacetamide, tetrahydrofuran or dimethylsulfoxide. The amine reactant, HN is usually employed in excess. The reaction can be carried out at any convenient temperature until completion. For example, a temperature chosen from the range of about 0°C to room temperature is most convenient. The compounds of Formula III can be isolated by methods known to the art or they can be reacted further without purification to remove any blocking groups represented by R-j, Rg or Ry by methods known to the art.
The following reaction sequence illustrates an overall series of reactions which can be conveniently used to prepare the compounds of this invention: SEQUENCE A In reaction sequence A, R’ is a protecting group for a secondary nitrogen atom, as described above. In the illustrative sequence, if the starting material of Formula (Al) has a 3-allyl or lower alkyl substituent, there is no need for using a protecting group.
R2» R3’ R4’ R5 anc* x are as defined above.
Sequence A shows that a sulfur-oxygen interchange reaction (A4-5) occurs to introduce a sulfur atom function directly onto the 1-phenyl ring.
The protecting group for the 7,8-dihydroxy groups is conveniently 10 a methylene (-CHg-) group as illustrated above. Such ethers can be produced in good yield by the selective reaction of a methylene dihalide at the 7,8-positions of an appropriate triol (A2). An ethylenedioxy group can also be used instead of a methylene dioxy group and it can be prepared by reaction with an ethylene dihalide. 7,8-Di-lower15 alkoxy-1-(hydroxyphenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-lH-3-benzazepines are usually less convenient to prepare because of a lack of selectivity in the formation of ether groups at the 7- and 8-positions. They are, however, available in the prior art and can be alternatively used.
A second illustrative sequence (Sequence 8) for preparing compounds of this invention consists of forming a 7,8-dialkoxy-l-phenyl2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine with a sulfur-containing function then being converted into various sulfamyl groups as shown in Formula I. 80656 SEQUENCE Β 80656 Reaction Sequence B is particularly preferred with compounds having 7,8-dialkoxy-groups however the 7,8-methylenedioxy or ethylenedioxy derivatives can also be used. Rp Rg, Rg, Rp Rg, Rg, Ry and X are as defined above.
The compounds of this invention in which Rg is hydrogen are of particular interest in having activity as antihypertensive agents due to a renal dopaminergic mechanism.
The dopaminergic compounds of this invention stimulate peripheral dopamine receptors. As a consequence of this agonist activity, they increase renal blood flow and have as an end result anti-hypertensive activity. Renal vasodilation of compounds of the invention can be measured in the anesthetized dog. In this pharmacological procedure, a test compound is administered at progressively increasing (3-fold) infusion rates beginning at 0.1 mcg/kg/min up to 810 mcg/kg/min for 5 minutes each to anesthetized normotensive dogs and the following parameters are measured: renal artery blood flow, iliac artery blood flow, arterial blood pressure and heart rate. Results are reported as a per cent change, increase or decrease, at time of peak response (from pre-drug controls), and for a significant effect renal blood flow (increase) and renal vascular resistance (decrease) should be approximately 10% or greater. The effect on renal vascular resistance can be calculated from any change in renal blood flow and arterial blood pressure. To confirm the mechanism of action, representative active renal vasodilator compounds of the invention were checked for blockage by bulbocapnine which is known to be a specific blocker of renal dopamine receptors. Dopamine was run as a positive control in each screening procedure.
A representative compound of this invention, 6-chloro-7,8-dihydroxy l-(£-sulfamylphenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-lH-3-benzazepine hydrobromide, demonstrated the following data: DRUG DOSE (pg/kg/min) MAP* (arterial blood pressure) RBF* (renal blood flow) RVR* (renal vascular resistance) HR* (heart rate) Dopamine 3 - 4.9 + 38.1 - 31.6 + 0 Test Compound 3 - 3.6 + 17.0 - 18.0 - 2.9 30 - 6.6 + 41.0 - 33.7 - 6.3 300 -10.6 + 16.0 - 22.7 + 3.3 * % change from control value recorded before each infusion in one dog. In four dogs the ED^g was 20 pg/kg (dopamine, 3.5 pg/kg).
In a phosphate-mannitol dog test the compound demonstrated blood pressure lowering at 5 mg/p.o.
The following other compounds of the invention gave the following data: 6-Chloro-7,8-dihydroxy-1-(4-N,N-dimethylsulfamylphenyl )-2,3,4,520 tetrahydro-lH-3-benzazepine hydrobromide hydrate: Test Compound 3 0 + 6.7 30 -1.4 + 6.3 300 -15.7 - 6.3 - 6.2 - 6.8 - 9.6 0 +6.7 +10.0 6,9-Dichloro-7,8-dihydroxy-l-(£-sulfamylphenyl )-2,3,4,5-tetrahydroΙΗ-3-benzazepine hydrobromide hydrate. Test Compound 3 00 0 + 5.9 30 +1.3 0 +1.4 + 6.3 300 +0.6 +6.3 -5.1 + 6.3 The invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of this invention and a carrier. The compositions are preferably in dosage unit form and they can be prepared by incorporating a compound of the invention with a nontoxic pharmaceutical carrier according to accepted procedures in a nontoxic amount sufficient to produce the desired pharmaceutical activity in a subject, animal or human. Each dosage unit will in general contain an active but nontoxic amount of a compound of the invention selected from about 15 mg to about 1000 mg, preferably 25-250 mg, per dosage unit, but the quantity used will depend on the specific biological activity desired and the condition of the patient.
The pharmaceutical carrier employed can be solid or liquid. Examples of solid carriers are lactose, terra alba, sucrose, talc, gelatin, agar, pectin, acacia, magnesium stearate, stearic acid, and the like. Examples of liquid carriers are syrup, peanut oil, olive oil, water and the like. Similarly the carrier or diluent can include a time delay material, for example, glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate, alone or with a wax.
A wide variety of pharmaceutical forms can be employed. Thus, if a solid carrier for oral administration is used the compositions can be tableted, placed in a hard gelatin capsule in powder or pellet form, or be in the form of a troche or lozenge. The amount of solid carrier can be varied widely but preferably it will be from about 25 mg to about 1 g. per dosage unit. If a liquid carrier is used, the compositions can be in the form of a syrup, emulsion, soft gelatin capsule, sterile injectable liquid, for example in ampoule, or an aqueous or nonaqueous liquid suspension.
The pharmaceutical compositions can be made following conventional techniques of the pharmaceutical chemist involving mixing, granulating and compressing when necessary, or variously mixing and dissolving the ingredients as appropriate to give the desired end product.
The following Examples illustrate the preparation and use of the compounds of this invention. The temperatures are in degrees Centigrade.
EXAMPLE 1 Forty-two grams (0.104 mole) of 6-chloro-7,8dihydroxy-1-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-lH-3-benza zepine methane sulfonate (Belgium patent 860,774) was suspended in 1 1. of dry toluene and 30.0 ml of dry acetonitrile then 100 ml (0.77 mole) of trifluoroacetic anhydride was added rapidly. The mixture was stirred overnight to give a clear solution which was concentrated in vacuo to an oil. This was dissolved in methylene chloride. The solution was then washed twice with water, several times with 5% sodium bicarbonate solution and then with brine. The dried extract was concentrated to give an oil, 6-chloro-7,8-dihydroxy-1-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-2,3,4,5tetrahydro-lH-3-benzazepine trifluoroacetamide (44 g) which was judged to be sufficiently pure by NMR and TLC for further use.
A solution of 44 g (0.104 mole) of 6-chloro-7,8-dihydroxy-l-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-lH-3-benzazepine trifluoroacetamide in 700 ml of dry dimethylformamide was treated with 45.5 g (0.784 mole) of potassium fluoride. After five minutes, 11.2 ml (27.6 g, 0.109 mole) of dibromomethane was added. The mixture was heated at 115° and held at 115° for 6 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate and washed several times with water. The dried, concentrated product was chromatographed over 800 g of silica gel with a 1 to 3% methanol in chloroform gradient. The homogeneous fractions gave 30.4 g (71%) of 6-chloro-7,8-methylenedioxy1-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-lH-3-benzazepine trifluoroacetamide. A sample was crystallized from acetonitrile to give white crystals, m.p. 191-193°.
Substituting ethylenedibromide for dibromomethane gives the 7,8-ethylenedioxy congener which then is used in the subsequent steps in equimolar quantities. Other reactive dihalomethanes or ethanes are also used similarly.
A solution of 12.6 g (0.031 mole) of 6-chloro-7,8-methylenedioxy-l-(£-hydroxyphenyl)-2,3,4,5tetrahydro-lH-3-benzazepine trifluoroacetamide in 100 ml of dry dimethylformamide was treated first with 15.2 g (0.136 mole) of triethylene diamine and then with 6.27 g (0.051 mole) of dimethylthiocarbamoyl chloride. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for four hours, poured onto 500 ml of ice water and the precipitate was filtered and washed well with water. The solid was dissolved in 95% ethanol, treated with charcoal, filtered and diluted with water to the cloud point. Chilling gave a total of 11.3 g (73%) of 6-chloro-7,8-methylenedioxy-l(g-O-dimethylthiocarbamoylphenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-lH-3benzazepine trifluoroacetamide, m.p. 128-131°.
Diphenyl-diphenyloxide eutectic (Dowtherm A, 200 ml) was preheated to 200° in an oil bath then 24.0 g (0.048 mole) of 6-chloro-7,8-methylenedioxy-l-(£-0dimethylthiocarbamoylphenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-lH-3-benzazepine trifluoroacetamide was added in portions to the rapidly stirring mixture. The resulting solution was heated for about ten hours at 205-230°. The cooled reaction was poured directly on a column packed with 800 g of silica gel which had been washed with cyclohexane. The column was developed with cyclohexane to remove the heat transfer medium then with a gradient of 3/1, then 5/2 of cyclohexane-ethyl acetate to give the homogeneous product. Crystallization from acetonitrile gave 8.7 g (40%) of 6-chloro-7,8-methylenedioxy-l-(£-S-dimethylcarbamoylphenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-lH-3-benzazepine trifluoroacetamide, m.p. 194-195°. ί- 50 646 isopropanoyl chloride or butanoyl chloride. Normally, acylation reactions utilizing acyl halides employ an acid sponge such as triethylamine or pyridine to remove any hydrohalide as it is formed. Furthermore, the corres5 ponding free acid or acid anhydride may be employed instead of the acyl halides. Acylation reactions are generally run without added solvent but may be performed using any nonreactive solvent, for example, petroleum ethers; chlorinated hydrocarbons such as chloroform, methylene chloride or carbon tetrachloride; carbon disulfind; ethereal solvents, such as diethylether, tetrahydrofuran or £-dioxan or aromatic solvents such as benzene, toluene or xylene. The reactions are allowed to proceed for 1 minute to 100 hours, preferably from 1 hour to 10 hours and the temperature may be from -78° to 150°C preferably from 0° to 100®C, Finally, any reactive substituents on the aroyl rings, if present, will become acylated concurrently.
That is, the following X groups, X=OH, -NHR3, -SOaNHa and unsubstituted piperazino, are acylated under identical reaction conditions. If desired, the acylation of the benzoyl ring substituents may be avoided by the use of suitable protecting groups well-known in the art, for example X=OH or -NHR3 may be benzylated and later de25 blocked by hydrogenolysis.
The alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, transition metal, main group metal, ammonium or organic ammonium salts of the aroylimidazol-2-ones of this invention may be prepared from a corresponding metal or ammonium basic salt for example an alkoxide, such as sodium methoxide or sodium ethoxide, a phenoxide, such as sodium phenoxide; hydroxides, such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide; or a carbonate, such as sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, zinc carbonate, magnesium carbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate. These reactions may be performed with or without a solvent. Suitable solvents are, for example, lower alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, benzazepine trifluoroacetamide. Field desorption mass spectroscopy showed an intense m/e at 476 which is consistent with the molecular ion. NMR and IR were consistent with the structure.
Substituting ethylamine for ammonia gives the (jo-N-ethylsulfamylphenyl) derivative. This following alkali hydrolysis and boron tribromide treatment as detailed hereafter gives 6-chloro-7,8-dihydroxy-l-(£-Nethylcarbamoyl phenyl) -2,3,4, 5-tetrahydro-lH-3-benzazepine hydrobromide.
A mixture of 0.5 g (1.1 mmole) of 6-chloro-7,8methylenedioxy-1-(£-sulfamylphenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-lH3-benzazepine trifluoroacetamide, 0.1 g of sodium hydroxide and 50 ml of methanol was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours, poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined extracts were washed with brine, dried and concentrated. The residue was chromatographed on 20 g of silica gel with a gradient of 1% to 5% of methanol in chloroform to give 0.35 g of pure 6-chloro-7,8-methylenedioxy-l-(£-sulfamylphenyl)-2,3,4,5tetrahydro-lH-3-benzazepine. This was suspended in 5 ml of dry methylene chloride, cooled to -60° and a solution of 5 ml of boron tribromide in methylene chloride (1 g/ml) was added dropwise with stirring under a nitrogen atmosphere. The mixture was stirred for about an hour at room temperature, recooled to -15° when excess methanol was added cautiously. The solvents were evaporated. The residue was azeotroped several times with methanol. The remaining solid was crystallized from methanol-acetonitrile ether to give 0.36 g (86%) of 6-chloro-7,8-dihydroxy-l(£-sulfamylphenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-lH-3-benzazepine hydrobromide, m.p. 289-290°.
The base (1 g) is regenerated using dilute sodium bicarbonate-isopropanol. Aliquots of 100 mg of the base in isopropanol are treated with methane sulfonic or hydrochloric acid to give the methane sulfonic acid or hydrochloride salts. 6 56 EXAMPLE 2 A mixture of 5.0 g (0.011 mole) of 6-chloro-7,8methylenedioxy-1-(p-sulfophenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-lH3-benzazepine trifluoroacetamide, 70 ml of thionyl chloride and 0.08 ml of dimethylformamide was heated at 80° for 2 hours, the solvents were evaporated in vacuo.
The acid chloride residue was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran. This solution was added slowly to a solution of dimethylamine in tetrahydrofuran at -15°.
The reaction was stirred at 0° for an hour then allowed to reach room temperature over 20 minutes. Hydrochloric acid was added to pH 6.5. The product was extracted into chloroform. The extracts were washed well with water, dried and concentrated to 4.0 g of crude product. This was chromatographed on 120 g of silica gel with a gradient of 25% to 33% of ethyl acetate in cyclohexane. The homogeneous fractions were crystallized from aqueous ethanol to give 3.1 g (78%) of 6-chloro-7,8-methylenedloxy1-(ρ-Ν,Ν-dimethylsulfamyl-phenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-lH-320 benzazepine trifluoroacetamide, m.p. 143-145°.
A solution of 2.3 g (0.00457 mole) of 6-chloro7,8-methylenedioxy-l-(p-N,N-dimethylsulfamylphenyl)2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-lH-3-benzazepine trifluoroacetamide, 75 ml of methanol and 0.5 g of sodium hydroxide was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours, diluted with water and extracted several times with ethyl acetate. The extracts were washed with brine, dried and concentrated. The crude residue was chromatographed on 75 g of silica gel with a gradient of 1% to 4% of methanol in chloroform. The homogeneous cuts were combined and concentrated to give 1.4 g (75%) of 6-chloro-7,8-methylenedioxy-l-(p-N,N,dimethylsulfamylphenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-lH-3-benzazepine A field description mass spectrogram showed an intense peak for m/e of 408 which is consistent with the structure. NMR and IR spectra also agreed with the structure.
This product (300 mg) was dissolved in 15 ml of dry methylene chloride, the solution was cooled to -15° under a nitrogen atmosphere. A solution of 3 ml of boron tribromide in methylene chloride (1 g/5 ml) was added dropwise. A precipitate formed very quickly. The mixture was then stirred at room temperature for about an hour and recooled in an ice bath. Excess methanol was added carefully. The resulting solution was evaporated. The residue was azeotroped several times with methanol. The solid was crystallized from methanol/acetonitrile to give off white crystals of 6-chloro-7,8-dihydroxy-l-(£-N,N,dimethyIsulfamylphenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-lH-3-benzazepine hydrobromide, m.p. 238-240°. The NMR and IR spectra are compatible with structure.
EXAMPLE 3 A solution of 50 g (0.219 mole) of £-thiobenzylbenzoic acid in 450 ml of dry tetrahydrofuran was cooled in ice water under a nitrogen atmosphere and a solution of 400 ml of IM diborane in tetrahydrofuran (0.4 mole) was added dropwise. After a half hour, the cooling bath was removed. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction was recooled in ice water and excess methanol was added cautiously. The solvents were evaporated to give a white solid which was crystallized from aqueous ethanol to give 39.5 g (79%) of £-thiobenzylbenzyl alcohol, m.p. 87-88.5°.
A solution of 38.5 g (0.167 mole) of £-thiobenzylbenzyl alcohol in 400 ml of toluene was treated with 100 g of activated manganese dioxide. The suspension was stirred and heated in an oil bath for 5 hours with a Dean-Stark water separator. The mixture was cooled slightly, filtered through a filter aid with chloroform.
The filtrate was concentrated to a pale yellow solid.
This was crystallized from absolute alcohol to give 30.1 g (80%) of £-thiobenzylbenzaldehyde, m.p. 62-63.5°.
A solution of 30.0 g (0.132 mole) of £-thiobenzylbenzaldehyde, 37.6 g (0.184 mole) of trimethylsulfonium iodide and 150 ml of dry dimethylsulfoxide (held under a nitrogen atmosphere) was added over 15 minutes a solution of 18.6 g (0.17 mole) of potassium t-butoxide in 100 ml of dry dimethylsulfoxide. The mixture was stirred an additional 45 minutes at room temperature and poured into 3 1. of iced water. The quench was extracted with ethyl acetate (4 x 300 ml). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine and water (4 times) dried over magnesium sulfate. The extracts were concentrated to solid £-thiobenzylstyrene oxide.
This crude epoxide was mixed with 28.5 g (0.13 mole) of 2-chlorohomoveratrylamine and heated at 110° (under nitrogen) for 18 hours. The crude product was dissolved in a little chloroform and applied to a column packed with 900 g of silica gel. The column was developed with a gradient of chloroform to 2-1/2% of methanol in chloroform taking 400 ml fractions. The homogeneous product was crystallized from absolute alcohol to give .4 g of °-[N-2-chloro-3,4-dimethoxyphenethyl-amino methyl]-4'-thiobenzylbenzyl alcohol, m.p. 80-81.5°.
A solution of 13.0 g (0.0284 mole) of the benzyl alcohol in 260 ml of dry methylene chloride was treated with 10.4 ml of methanesulfonic acid. The resulting solution was gently refluxed for 3 hours. Ice was added followed by 150 ml of 10% sodium hydroxide solution. The organic layer was separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with methylene chloride and the combined organic extracts were washed with water, dried and concentrated to leave 12.1 g of crude product which was chromatographed on 650 g of silica gel with a gradient of 2% to 4% of methanol in chloroform. This gave 9.4 g (75%) of 6-chloro-7,8-dimethoxy-l-(£-thiobenzylphenyl)-2,3,4,535 tetrahydro-lH-3-benzazepine. NMR, IR and mass spectra agreed with the structure.
The benzazepine, 7.7 g (0.017 mole), was dissolved in 80 ml of acetone and 20 ml of water, and then a solution of 5.3 g of sodium carbonate in 10 ml of water was added. The mixture was cooled in ice water. A solution of 5.44 g of benzyl chloroformate in 25 ml of acetone was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred at 5° for one hour, then overnight at room temperature.
Water was added. The product was extracted into ethyl acetate and washed with brine and water. The concentrated product was chromatographed on 200 g of silica gel with a gradient of chloroform to 0.5% of methanol in chloroform to give 4.5 g (46%) of 6-chloro-7,8-dimethoxy-l-(pthiobenzyIphenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-lH-3-benzazepine benzylcarbamate as a syrup. Field desorption mass spectroscopy indicated an intense m/e of 573 which is compatible with the structure. The IR and NMR spectra were consistent.
The carbamate (4.5 g, 0.0079 mole) was dissolved in 45 ml of glacial acetic acid and 0.45 ml of water was added. The solution was cooled in water (15°).
Chlorine gas was bubbled through the solution for 20 minutes while maintaining the reaction temperature between 25° and 27°. Then the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 minutes, poured onto 150 ml of ice water and extracted quickly with chloroform. The combined extracts were washed with water, and nitrogen was bubbled through the slightly wet solution. The solvent was evaporated at room temperature in vacuo to give a residue of 6,9-dichloro-7,8-dimethoxy-l-(p-chlorosulfonyIphenyl)2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-lH-3-benzazepine benzylcarbamate.
The acid chloride residue was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran and then added to 75 ml of iced ammonium hydroxide. After being stirred for 2 hours at room temperature, the pH was adjusted to about 8 with hydrochloric acid. The product was extracted into chloroform and washed with water. The dried concentrate was chromatographed on 200 g of silica gel with a gradient of chloroform to 1% of methanol in chloroform to give 3.24 g (75%) of 6,9-dichloro-7,8-dimethoxy-l-(£-sulfamylphenyl) 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-lH-3-ben2azepine benzylcarbamate as an oil. The NMR, IR and mass spectra agreed with the structure.
The sulfamyl derivative (2.0 g, 3.56 mmole) was dissolved in 60 ml of dry methylene chloride. The solution was cooled to -15% (under nitrogen). A solution of 17.7 ml of boron tribromide in methylene chloride (1 g/5 ml) was added dropwise. The solution was then stirred at room temperature to produce a precipitate.
After about an hour the mixture was recooled, methanol was added slowly and the solution was concentrated and azeotroped with additional methanol. The residual product was dissolved in a little acetone and added dropwise to a stirred solution of 3 parts of ether and one part of ethyl acetate to afford an off white powder, 0.586 g (35%), m.p. 210-212° of 6,9-dichloro-7,8-dihydroxy-l-(p-sulfamylphenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-lH-3-benzazepine hydrobromide.
The crude acid chloride product (200 mg) (obtained by evaporating the chloroform extract prior to treatment with ammonia in the above procedure) is treated with dilute sodium carbonate solution/dimethylformamide. Evaporation and extraction with methylene chloride is followed by washing and drying the extract. Evaporation gives 6,9-dichloro-7,8-dimethoxy-l-(£-sulfophenyl,-2,3,4,5tetrahydro-lH-3-benzazepine benzylcarbamate. Alkaline hydrolysis and boron tribromide treatment gives 6,9-dichloro-7,8-dihydroxy-l-(£-sulfophenyl)-2,3,4,5tetrahydro-lH-3-benzazepine. Alternatively the 0,0,Nprotected sulfonic acid is treated with phosphorus pentabromide to give the 1-(p-bromosulfonylphenyl) compound which is reacted with ammonium hydroxide. Hydrolysis and de-etherification gives 6,9-dichloro-7,8dihydroxy-1-(£-sulfamylphenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-lH-3benzazepine hydrobromide.
EXAMPLE 4 6-Methyl-7,8-dihydroxy-l-(£-hydroxyphenyl)-2,3,4,5tetrahydro-lH-3-benzazepine hydrobromide (21 g, German patent application 2849766) in toluene-acetonitrile is reacted with 50 ml of trifluoroacetic anhydride. The N-protected product is isolated by concentration in vacuo. This crude material (11 g) is reacted with 12 g of potassium fluoride in dimethylformamide then with 7.2 g of dibromomethane at 100° for 6 hours. The mixture is evaporated and the residue purified as described in Example 1 to give 6-methyl-7,8-methylenedioxy-l-(£hydroxyphenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-lH-3-benzazepine tr ifluoroacetamide.
This material (4 g) is O-acylated using base and dimethylthiocarbamoyl chloride to give the 1-(£-O-dimethylthiocarbamoylphenyl) compound which (τ.1.5 g) is heated in diphenyl-diphenyloxide eutectic at 215° to give the Sdimethylcarbamoyl intermediate. Oxidation of this material (1.2 g) using 5 ml of hydrogen peroxide at room temperature in concentrated formic acid solution for 24 hours gives 6-methyl-7,8-methylenedioxy-l-(£-sulfophenyl)2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-lH-3-benzazepine trifluoroacetamide.
The sulfonic acid (750 mg) is converted to the sulfonyl chloride using thionyl chloride/dimethylformamide, then it is reacted without purification with an excess of ammonium hydroxide to give 6-methyl-7,8-methylenedioxy-l(g-sulfamylphenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-lH-3-benzazepine trifluoroacetamide. Alkaline hydrolysis of the acetamide (500 mg) and boron tribromide treatment of the residue in the cold gives the desired 6-methyl-7,8-dihydroxy-l-(£sulfamylphenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-lH-3-benzazepine hydrochloride. 50356 EXAMPLE 5 Using the reactions of Examples 1 and 4 but starting with 6-propyl-7,8-dihydroxy-1-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-lH-3benzazepine methanesulfonate (German Patent Application No. 2 849 766) gi ves 6-propyl-7,8-methylenedioxy-1- (£-sulfophenyl)-2,3,4,5tetrahydro-lH-3-benzazepine trifluoroacetamide, its acid chloride and finally 6-propyl-7,8-dihydroxy-1-(£-sulfamylphenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydroΙΗ-3-benzazepine hydrobromide.
