A preferred sub-genus is constituted by those compounds of the formula I
wherein
Ar is unsubstituted or o-substituted phenyl, where the substituent is fluorine, chlorine, bromine, methyl or ethyl;
R is hydrogen;
R.sub.1 is hydrogen or methyl; and
R.sub.2 is hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, .beta.-hydroxy-ethyl or .beta.-dimethylamino-ethyl.
The compounds embraced by formula I may be prepared by the following methods:
Method A
By reacting a 2-acyl-benzo[b]thiophen-3-ol of the formula ##STR3## wherein Ar and R have the meanings previously defined, or an enol ether of the formula ##STR4## wherein Ar and R have the meanings previously defined, and
R.sub.3 is alkyl, alkenyl or phenylalkyl of up to 20 carbon atoms, where the phenyl moiety may be halo-, nitro- or methyl-substituted,
with an amine of the formula ##STR5## an ammonium salt of the formula
H.sub.2 N.sup..sym. R.sub.1 R.sub.2 B.sup..crclbar. (IVa)
or a urea of the formula ##STR6## where R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 have the meanings previously defined, and
B.sup..crclbar. is the anion of a monobasic or polybasic, weak to moderately strong organic or inorganic acid, such as boric acid, formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, n-butyric acid, benzoic acid, nicotinic acid, carbonic acid, carbamic acid, oxalic acid, succinic acid, citric acid, thiocyanic acid and phosphoric acid.
The reaction is performed in an excess of the particular amine of the formula IV or in a polar protic or aprotic solvent, such as in methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, dimethylsulfoxide, hexamethylphosphoric triamide, pyridine, formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid or isobutyric acid, at temperatures between -20.degree. and 160.degree. C., preferably between 110.degree. and 130.degree. C., and optionally at elevated pressure in an autoclave. The compounds of the formulas IV, IVa or V are generally used in an excess of 3 to 10 mols, based on the compound of general formula II or III to be reacted. However, it is also possible to use equimolar quantities of the reactants.
Method B
For the preparation of a compound of the formula I wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are hydrogen, by reacting a 2-acylbenzo[b]thiophen-3-ol of the formula II or an enol ether of the formula III with formamide, or by reacting a 2-acyl-3-chloro-benzo[b]thiophen of the formula ##STR7## wherein R and Ar have the meanings previously defined, with an ammonium salt of the formula
NH.sub.4.sup..sym. B.sup..crclbar. (VIb)
wherein B.sup..crclbar. has the meanings previously defined.
The reaction is carried out in a polar, protic or aprotic solvent, such as in methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, pyridine, dimethylsulfoxide or hexamethylphosphoric triamide, but preferably in a lower aliphatic carboxylic acid such as formic, acetic, propionic or n-butyric acid, at temperatures between 20.degree. and 160.degree. C., preferably between 110.degree. and 130.degree. C., and optionally at elevated pressure in an autoclave. The use of an excess of formamide or of the ammonium salt of the formula (VIb) of up to 10 mols is advantageous with regard to the yield of the compound of the formula I, but it is also possible to use equimolar amounts of the reactants VI and VIb or formamide.
Method C
By reacting a 2-acyl-benzo[b]thiophen-3-ol of the formula II with phosphorus (V)chloride, followed by aminolysis of the resulting unstable salt of the assumed but unconfirmed formula ##STR8## wherein Ar and R have the meanings previously defined, with an amine of the formula IV. In addition to the desired end product of the formula I, the aminolysis yields a non-stoichiometric phosphorus-containing intermediate of the suspected but also unconfirmed formula ##STR9## wherein Ar, R, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 have the meanings previously defined, and
X is chlorine, hydroxyl or --NR.sub.1 R.sub.2, where R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 have the meanings previously defined, or a random mixture of these radicals.
Hydrolysis of the intermediate with a dilute mineral acid also yields the desired end product of the formula I in the form of the corresponding mineral acid salt.
The reaction of the 2-acyl-benzo[b]thiophen-3-ol of the formula II with phosphorus(V)chloride is carried out in an inert, hydrocarbon-like solvent, such as petroleum ether, petrol, benzene, toluene, xylene, chlorobenzene or 1,2-dichlorobenzene, and at temperatures between 0.degree. and 40.degree. C., preferably between 15.degree. and 25.degree. C. In view of their instability, it is advantageous to quickly further react the salt of the assumed structure VII with an amine of the formula IV. The amine of the formula IV is preferably used in the form of an aqueous solution, but can also be used as such. An excess of 2 to 20 mols of the amine of the formula IV is used per mol of the salt complex of the formula VII. However, equimolar amounts of the amine of the formula IV suffice when additional bases, such as sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate or tert. amines such as triethylamine, trimethylamine, 1,5-diazabicyclo[4,3,0]non-5-ene or 1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4,0]undec-7-ene are added. The aminolysis, which is generally performed as a two-phase reaction, is carried out at temperatures between 0.degree. and 100.degree. C., preferably between 40.degree. and 60.degree. C.
The nitrogen- and phosphorus-containing compound of the assumed formula VIII can be converted into the corresponding salt of the desired end product of the formula I by treatment with a dilute, aqueous mineral acid. Examples of suitable aqueous mineral acids are 1 to 20% aqueous hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid or hydroiodic acid, as well as 1 to 50% aqueous sulfuric or phosphoric acid. Temperatures between 30.degree. and 100.degree. C., preferably between 50.degree. and 70.degree. C. are suitable for the hydrolysis reaction. The salt obtained can be converted into the desired end product of the formula I in conventional manner by treatment with a base, such as an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, ammonia or an amine such as methylamine or triethylamine.
Method D
For the preparation of a compound of the formula I wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are hydrogen, by reducing a compound of the formula ##STR10## wherein Ar and R have the meanings previously defined, and
R.sub.4 ' is hydroxyl or --NR.sub.5 R.sub.6,
where
R.sub.5 and R.sub.6, which may be identical to or different from each other, are each alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or
R.sub.5 is hydrogen and
R.sub.6 is phenyl optionally substituted by halogen, alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms or alkoxy of 1 to 3 carbon atoms.
The following reduction methods may be used:
(a) Hydrogenation in the presence of a catalytically activated metal of the 8th subgroup of the Periodic Table of Elements. Palladium and platinum catalysts, for example palladium on animal charcoal or finely divided platinum formed in situ from platinum(IV) oxide, are particularly suitable. The hydrogenation is preferably performed in a polar solvent, such as glacial acetic acid, propionic acid, methanol, ethanol, dioxane or tetrahydrofuran, and optionally in the presence of a strong mineral acid, such as perchloric, sulfuric or orthophosphoric acids, at temperatures between 0.degree. and 50.degree. C., but preferably at room temperature and at a hydrogen pressure of 0.5 to 5 bar. However, it is also possible to use a higher hydrogen pressure. If Ar in a compound of the formula IX is nitrophenyl, the nitro group is also reduced to an amino group.
(b) Reduction by means of nascent nitrogen and/or tin(II) chloride. Reduction by means of iron powder in the presence of a dilute or semi-concentrated mineral acid such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric or phosphoric acid, and reduction by means of tin(II) chloride in the presence of concentrated hydrochloric or hydrobromic acid have proved to be particularly suitable. When reducing by means of iron, the preferred solvent is a polar, water-miscible organic solvent such as methanol, ethanol, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran or glacial acetic acid. The working temperature is between 10.degree. and 100.degree. C., preferance being given to room temperature. For the tin(II) chloride method, temperatures between 0.degree. and 40.degree. C., but preferably room temperature are used, and the aforementioned solvents are additionally employed. If Ar in a compound of the formula IX is nitrophenyl, the nitro group is also reduced.
(c) Reduction with a complex alkali metal aluminum hydride, preferably lithium aluminum hydride or sodium bis-(2-methoxyethoxy)-aluminum hydride, using an anhydrous ether, such as diethyl ether, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether or triethylene glycol dimethyl ether, as the solvents, at temperatures between -20.degree. and 100.degree. C. preferably between +20.degree. and +50.degree. C. If Ar in a compound of the formula IX is nitrophenyl, the nitro group is also reduced to an amino group.
(d) Reduction with sodium dithionite in aqueous solution or suspension in the presence of excess alkali metal hydroxide. The reaction may be performed with or without an additional solvent, such as methanol, ethanol, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, 1,2-ethane-diol, 1,2-dimethoxy-ethane or 2-ethoxy-ethanol. The reaction temperature can be from 60.degree. to 120.degree. C., but the boiling point of water is preferred. If Ar in a compound of the formula IX is nitrophenyl, the nitro group is also reduced to an amino group.
(e) Reduction with iron(II) hydroxide in aqueous solution or suspension at temperatures between 0.degree. and 100.degree. C., preferably between 15.degree. and 50.degree. C. The reaction can be performed with or without an additional solvent, such as methanol, ethanol, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, 1,2-ethanediol, 1,2-dimethoxy-ethane or 2-ethoxy-ethanol. Iron (II) hydroxide is preferably formed in situ from suitable iron(II) salts, such as from iron(II) sulfate heptahydrate, iron (II) chloride, iron(II) chloride tetrahydrate or iron(II) nitrate hexahydrate by adding a base, preferably an aqueous ammonia solution. If Ar in a compound of the formula IX is nitrophenyl, the nitro group is also reduced to an amino group.
Method E

R.sub.8 is hydrogen; alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl of up to 6 carbon atoms; cycloalkyl of 3 to 8 carbon atoms optionally substituted by methyl; or --A--R.sub.4,
where Ar, R, A and R.sub.4 have the meanings previously defined, with an amine of the formula IV, with an ammonium salt of the formula IVa or with a urea of the formula V.
The reaction is performed in an excess of the particular amine of the formula V or in a polar, protic or aprotic solvent, such as in methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, dimethylsulfoxide, hexamethylphosphoric triamide, pyridine, formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid or isobutyric acid, at temperatures between -20.degree. and 160.degree. C., preferably between 110.degree. and 130.degree. C., and optionally at elevated pressure in an autoclave. The compounds of the formulas IV, IVa and V are generally used in an excess of 2 to 10 mols, based on the substrate of the formula X to be reacted, but it is also possible to use equimolar amounts of the reactants.

The following examples illustrate the present invention and will enable others skilled in the art to understand it more completely. It should be understood, however, that the invention is not limited solely to the particular examples given below.
EXAMPLE 1
(E)-2-[(Amino)phenylmethylene]-benzo[b]thiophen-3(2H)-one
50.86 gm (0.2 mol) of 2-benzoyl-benzo[b]thiophen-3-ol were dissolved in 600 cc of toluene in a 1-liter separating funnel and after adding 42.0 gm (0.2 mol) of phosphorus(V) chloride the solution was mechanically stirred for five minutes at room temperature. The suspension of the resulting red complex is subsequently introduced, while vigorously stirring, into 150 cc (about 2 mols) of concentrated ammonia, the reaction temperature being maintained at 40.degree. to 50.degree. C. by external cooling with water. Heating at 50.degree. C. was continued for one hour, followed by cooling, addition of hydrochloric acid to give a pH of 1 and refluxing until the yellow starting spot could no longer be detected by thin-layer chromatography (silica gel pre-prepared thin-layer chromatography plates F.sub.254 Merck; 1,2-dichloroethane/ethyl acetate/glacial acetic acid 100:30:3). This was followed by cooling to +10.degree. C., filtering with suction after standing for one hour at this temperature, and washing of the precipitate with a little toluene and then thoroughly with water to remove inorganic salts.
The orange toluene phase was separated from the combined filtrates, washed once with 500 cc of water and concentrated by evaporation. The resulting, partly crystalline residue was boiled twice with 20 cc each of methanol, and the solutions were each cooled to +10.degree. C. (E)-2-[(amino)phenylmethylene]-benzo[b]thiophen-3(2H)-one hydrochloride went into solution, while the unreacted starting substance remained undissolved.
The methanol solutions obtained were combined with the solution of the above-obtained crystalline precipitate in 25 cc of methanol, admixed with 25 cc of ammonia and subsequently the desired product was precipitated in the form of yellow crystals.
This was followed with suction, drying of the precipitate in a vacuum drier, dissolving the product in 70 cc of ethyl acetate, addition of just enough petroleum ether to ensure that no precipitate formed (about 40 cc), addition of 40 gm of activated charcoal, boiling and filtering while hot. By adding 100 cc of petroleum ether and cooling to +10.degree. C., the pure end product was obtained from the cooled filtrate. After standing for two hours and then filtering with suction, the precipitate was thoroughly washed with approximately 40 cc of petroleum ether. After concentrating the combined mother liquors to about 50 cc total volume, additional end product with the same quality was obtained. After drying in vacuo, the yellow crystals melted at 121.6.degree.-122.5.degree. C.
Yield: 35.6 gm (70% of theory).

The compounds of the present invention, that is, those embraced by formula I above, have useful pharmacodynamic properties. More particularly, they exhibit anticonvulsant activity in warm-blooded animals, such as mice.
The anticonvulsant property and the toxicity of the compounds of this invention were determined by the test methods described below, and the results of these tests for a few representative species of the genus are shown in Tables I and II, where
A=(E)-2-[(amino)phenylmethylene]-benzo[b]thiophen-3(2H)-one,

1. Anticonvulsant activity in mice
The anticonvulsant activity was tested as the inhibition of the tonic extensor spasm of the rear legs of male mice under maximum electric shock.
Method
The test animals were male SPF mice (Chbb:NMRI) weighing 20 to 26 g which, up to one hour before oral administration of the test compound, had access to standard feed and drinking water.
The test procedure was based on that of SWINYARD, BROWN and GOODMAN (J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 106, 319 [1952]). The electrical shock equipment was manufactured in accordance with information provided by WOODBURY and DAVENPORT (Arch. int. Pharmacodyn. 92, 97 [1952]). The electrical stimuli were applied to the heads of the animals above the eyes using chamois-covered steel ball electrodes moistened with a 0.9% NaCl solution. The stimulus lasted 0.2 sec. using alternating current of 50 Hz and 50 mA. There was a chronic and then a tonic stretching spasm of the extremities in the case of all the controls. The tonic stretching spasm does not occur in the case of animals protected by anticonvulsants.
The substance to be tested was suspended in a 1% tylose slurry and was perorally administered in a volume of 0.1 ml/10 gm mouse to 10 mice/dose. The animals were subjected to shock treatment 30, 140 and 300 minutes after administering the substance, and the ED.sub.50 values were determined as the dosages sufficient to protect 50% of the animals against the tonic stretching spasm of the rear extremities, either graphically or by the method of LITCHFIELD and WILCOXON (J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 96, 99 [1949]).
