The compounds of the formula (I) according to this invention can be prepared by hydrolyzing the compounds of the formula (II). This hydrolysis reaction can be accomplished under acidic or alkaline conditions, the hydrolysis under acid conditions being preferred. Thus, for the purpose, a mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, perchloric acid, phosphoric acid or the like or an organic acid such as trifluoroacetic acid, formic acid, acetic acid or the like may be employed. Generally this reaction is preferably conducted in the presence of water and in a mixture of an organic acid with a mineral acid. While the temperature, time and other conditions of reaction are not particularly critical, the reaction is generally carried out at about 50.degree. to 150.degree. C. for a time varying from about one hour to about 2 days.
The compound of general formula (I) wherein R.sub.1 is carboxyl may be converted to a compound wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen by heating the material compound at a temperature slightly higher than the temperature conductive to decarboxylation and in the presence or absence of a solvent.
The compound of general formula (I) can be converted to the corresponding organic amine salts, alkali metal salts or ammonium salts by reacting (I) in the per se conventional manner with an organic amine (e.g. ethanolamine, diethanolamine, dl-methylephedrine, 1-(3,5-dihydroxyphenyl)-L-isopropylaminoethanol, isoproterenol, dextromethorphan, hetrazan (diethylcarbamazine), diethylamine, triethylamine, etc.), an alkali metal hydroxide (e.g. sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, etc.) or ammonia, for example by mixing them together and heating in a suitable solvent.
The resulting compounds (I) or salts have anti-allergic properties and the particular organic amine salts just mentioned have particularly excellent anti-allergic activity, thus being of value as prophylactic and curative drugs for the treatment of allergic asthma, allergic dermatitis, hay fever and other allergic diseases in mammals including human beings. Further, these alkali metal salts and organic amine salts are soluble in water and the resultant aqueous solutions are stable, thus being suitable for the preparation of such dosage forms as injectable solutions and aqueous solutions.
When a compound of general formula (I) or a salt thereof is used for the prevention or treatment of said allergic diseases in adult human, it can be orally administered at the usual dose level of about one to 500 mg/day in such dosage forms as tablets, capsules, powders or solutions, or administered by other routes in such dosage forms as injectable solutions, inhalations, ointments, etc.
The starting compounds of the formula (II) can be produced by the following procedure. Thus, the compound of the formula (III): ##STR4## wherein m and R.sub.2 have the same meaning as defined above, can be produced by reacting a compound of general formula (IV): ##STR5## (wherein m and R.sub.2 have the same meaning as defined above), which is obtainable by the process described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,896,114, with water in the presence of a base. As the base may be mentioned organic amines such as primary amines (e.g. ethylamine, n-propylamine, n-butylamine, benzylamine, aniline, etc.), secondary amines (e.g. dimethylamine, diethylamine, dipropylamine, dibutylamine, piperidine, pyrrolidine, etc.), tertiary amines (e.g. triethylamine, etc.), heterocyclic bases (e.g. imidazole, 2-methylimidazole, morpholine, etc.), and inorganic bases such as aqueous ammonia, ammonium acetate, ammonium carbonate, sodium acetate, sodium carbonate, sodium hydrogen carbonate, etc. The amount of such base is not particularly critical and may range from a catalytic amount to a large excess.
Generally the reaction is preferably conducted in a solvent miscible with water. As examples of the solvent may be mentioned dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, hexamethylphosphoric acid triamide, organic acids (e.g. formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, etc.) and ethers (e.g. tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, etc.). While the temperature, time and other conditions of the reaction are not particularly critical, the reaction is generally carried out at room temperature to about 100.degree. C. for a time varying from a few minutes to about 3 hours.
A compound of the formula (II) may be produced by reacting a compound of the formula (III) with an active methylene compound, an acetylene-carboxylic acid derivative in an organic solvent or a cyanoacetyl halide in the presence of a substituted formamide.
As examples of the active methylene compound to be employed in the reaction, there may be mentioned methyl acetoacetate, ethyl acetoacetate, methyl cyanoacetate, ethyl cyanoacetate, cyanoacetamide, malononitrile, ethyl oxaloacetate, diethyl malonate, dimethyl malonate, ethyl benzoylacetate, methyl 3-oxo-n-caproate, etc. Normally for practical purposes, about 1 to 10 molar equivalents of the active methylene compound is employed to each molar equivalent of the compound (III).
The above reaction is preferably conducted in the presence of a base which may be an organic amine. The organic amine may be a primary amine such as n-butylamine, benzylamine, aniline, etc.; a secondary amine such as diethylamine, dipropylamine, dibutylamine, piperidine, pyrrolidine, etc.; a tertiary amine such as 1,8-diazabicyclo-(5,4,0)-7-undecene, triethylamine, etc.; or a heterocyclic base such as imidazole, 2-methylimidazole, morpholine, etc. The proportion of the organic base is normally from a catalytic amount to about 5 molar equivalents per mole of compound (III).
Generally the reaction is desirably conducted in an organic solvent. As examples of the solvent may be mentioned alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, etc.; aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, etc.; and dimethylformamide. Although the reaction temperature, time and other conditions are virtually optional, it is generally desirable to conduct the reaction at a temperature somewhere between room temperature and near the boiling point of the solvent used for about one to 24 hours.
The invention may be practiced by the following procedure as well. Thus, a compound of general formula (III) is reacted with an acetylene-carboxylic acid derivative. As examples of the acetylene-carboxylic acid derivative, there may be mentioned dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, methyl propiolate, ethyl propiolate, cyanoacetylene, etc. Where a propiolic acid ester is employed, the intermediate aminoacrylate derivative may be isolated or may be further subjected to cyclization reaction. The acetylenedicarboxylic acid derivative may be used, normally and practically, in a proportion of about one to 10 molar equivalents per mole of compound (III).
Generally the above reaction is desirably conducted in the presence of a base which may be an organic amine. As examples of such organic amine may be mentioned tertiary amines such as triethylamine, tripropylamine, tributylamine, etc.; heterocyclic amines such as pyridine, quinoline, imidazole, 2-methylimidazole, morpholine, etc.; and secondary amines such as piperidine, pyrrolidine, diethylamine, dipropylamine, dibutylamine, etc. Theorganic base is normally employed in a proportion from a catalytic amount to about 10 molar equivalents per mole of starting compound (II).
Generally speaking, this reaction is desirably conducted in an organic solvent. As examples of the solvent may be mentioned alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, etc. aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, etc.; dimethylformamide; and so forth. While the temperature, time and other conditions of the reaction are not particularly critical, the reaction is generally conducted at a temperature somewhere between room temperature and near the boiling point of the solvent employed for a time ranging from about one to 24 hours.
The compound of the general formula (II) according to this invention can be produced by the following process. Thus, compound (II) is produced by reacting a compound of the general formula (III) with a cyanoacetyl halide in the presence of a substituted formamide. The cyanoacetyl halide employed in this reaction may for example be cyanoacetyl chloride, cyanoacetyl bromide, cyanoacetyl iodide, cyanoacetyl fluoride or the like. The substituted formamide used in this reaction may be alkyl or arylsubstituted formamide, such as N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-diethylformamide, N,N-dipropylformamide, N-methyl-N-ethylformamide, N-methyl-N-phenylformamide, N,N-diphenylformamide or the like. This reaction may be conducted in the presence of such a substituted formamide alone, i.e. using it as the reaction solvent, although the reaction may be carried out, if required, in a solvent mixture of said substituted formamide with an extraneous solvent that will not interfere with the reaction. The solvent just mentioned is preferably one of the common organic solvents such as hydrocarbons (e.g. benzene, toluene, xylene, petroleum ether, etc.), ethers (e.g. tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, ethyl ether, ethylene glycol dimethylether, etc.), halogenated hydrocarbons (e.g. chloroform, dichloromethane, dichloroethane, tetrachloroethane, etc.), esters (e.g. ethyl acetate, methyl acetate, butyl acetate, etc.), acetonitrile, dimethylsulfoxide and so forth. The proportion of cyanoacetyl halide used in the production of compound (II) is normally in the range of about 1 to 10 molar equivalents based on starting compound (III). While the temperature, time and other conditions of reaction are not particularly critical, the reaction is normally carried out at about 20.degree. to about 120.degree. C. for about 30 minutes to about 2 days. The proportion of said substituted formamide is not particularly critical, either. It is, however, used in a proportion of about 2 or more molar equivalents based on starting compound (III).
A compound (II) wherein R'.sub.1 is alkoxy may be produced by, for example, reacting a compound (II) wherein R'.sub.1 is hydroxy with diazomethane or an alkyl halide such as methyl iodide, ethyl iodide, propyl iodide, isopropyl iodide, butyl iodide, isobutyl iodide, etc. in the presence of a base (e.g. potassium carbonate).
This reaction is desirably connected in an organic solvent such as chloroform, dichloromethane, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, etc. The above reaction is general conducted at a temperature between 0.degree. C. and near the boiling point of the solvent employed for about several minutes to a few hours.
A compound (II) wherein R'.sub.1 is monoalkylamino may be for example produced by the following procedure. Thus, it can be produced by reacting a compound (II) wherein R'.sub.1 is chlorine, which is obtainable by reacting a compound (II) wherein R'.sub.1 is hydroxy with a mixture of phosphoryl trichloride and phosphorus pentachloride at about 100.degree. to 120.degree. C. for a time varying from several hours to a few days, with a monoalkylamine such as methylamine, ethylamine, propylamine, etc. Generally the reaction is conducted in an organic solvent. As example of the solvent for dissolving the compound (II) wherein R'.sub.1 is chlorine may be mentioned chloroform, dichloromethane, etc. and as the solvent for dissolving monoalkylamine is exemplified methanol, ethanol, propanol, chloroform, etc.
While the temperature, time and other conditions of the reaction of a compound (II) wherein R'.sub.1 is chlorine and monoalkylamine are not particularly critical, the reaction is generally carried out at about 0.degree. C. to room temperature for a few minutes to about 3 hours.
A compound (II) wherein R'.sub.1 is hydroxy may be for example produced by reacting a compound (II) wherein R'.sub.1 is amino with an alkali salt of nitrile (e.g. sodium nitrate, potassium nitrite, etc.) in an aqueous inorganic or organic acid (e.g. hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, etc.).
