Another aspect of the invention is pharmaceutical compositions of each of the above groups of compounds. A still further aspect of the invention is the method of using each of the pharmaceutical compositions for the utility of the invention.
As employed throughout this specification and claims, phrase "alkyl of one to six carbon atoms, inclusive" means methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, n-butyl, n-pentyl, n-hexyl and isomers thereof. Illustrative examples of isomers are isopropyl, t-butyl, neopentyl and 2,3-dimethylbutyl. Alkyl of a lower carbon atom limitation are to be interpreted in the same manner. Alkenyl and alkynyl of one to six carbon atoms, inclusive, are to be interpreted in the same manner, the alkenyl group having a double bond, the alkynyl group a triple bond. Examples of alkenyl are ethylene, propylene, 1-butene, isobutene, 1-hexene, 3-pentene and the like. Examples of alkynyl are acetylene, propyne, 1-butyne, 1-hexyne, and 3-methyl-1-pentyne. Cycloalkyl of three to six carbon atoms, inclusive, is cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl and cyclohexyl. Examples of cycloalkenyl of five to seven carbon atoms, inclusive, are 2-cyclopentenyl, 3-cyclohexenyl, 4-cycloheptenyl. Halo is fluoro, chloro and bromo.
The compounds of the invention are readily prepared by chemical synthetic methods. A 4-oxocyclohexanone monoketal prepared by methods known in the art, see M. Haslanger and R. G. Lawton, Synthetic Commun., 4, 155 (1974), is reacted with an HNR.sub.3 R.sub.4 acid addition salt and an alkali metal cyanide to form a 4-dialkylamino-4-cyano-cyclohexanone ketal. The reaction between the ketal, amine acid addition salt and cyano proceeds readily and does not usually require heating. Room temperature and stirring are suitable. Standard recovery and purification methods are employed. Either potassium or sodium cyanide can be employed. With respect to the ketal, any alkylene ketal is suitable; however, an ethylene ketal prepared with an ethylene glycol in the presence of an acid catalyst such as p-toluenesulfonic acid and an organic solvent is preferred. The ketalization reaction is promoted by heating, preferably at the reflux temperature, and azeotropic removal of the water by-product.
The 4-dialkylamino-4-cyanocyclohexanone ketal is then reacted with a Grignard reagent of the type ##STR11## R.sub.5 defined as above, in a Grignard reaction to form a 4-dialkylamino-4-phenylcyclohexanone ketal. When R.sub.5 in the final product is to be hydroxy, the hydroxy function of the Grignard reagent is protected by a group which can be removed under mild conditions at a convenient place further along the synthetic pathway. An example of such a group is tetrahydropyranyl or benzyl. Such a group can be removed under mild hydrolytic conditions using aqueous acid, e.g., hydrochloric, acetic, and the like, or by hydrogenolysis over a Pd/C catalyst system.
This Grignard reaction occurs when the Grignard reagent and the ketal are heated, preferably to the reflux temperature in an organic solvent medium. A suitable organic solvent medium is tetrahydrofuran, preferably anhydrous. Heating periods are relatively lengthy. Eighteen to seventy-two hours may be required, although fifteen to twenty-four hours is generally an adequate reaction time. The 4-dialkylamino-4-phenylcyclohexanone ketals are recovered in the usual manner by work-up of the reaction mixture with a neutral aqueous medium, e.g., ammonium chloride. The organic layer is purified by standard techniques.
At this point in the synthetic pathway, the ketal is cleaved, thereby forming the substituted cyclohexanone, by contacting the ketal in an aqueous mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid in the presence of an organic solvent such as methanol. This contacting time is relatively lengthy; time periods of up to forty-eight hours may be necessary. During this reaction, the hydroxy protecting group, if present, will be cleaved if susceptible to hydrolysis leaving R.sub.5 as hydroxy. Such cleavage can occur prior to the ketal conversion if desired.
The 4-dialkylamino-4-phenylcyclohexanone is then converted to compounds of this invention by appropriate means. The compounds, wherein R.sub.2 is hydrogen, are readily prepared by reacting the ketone with a standard reducing agent such as a metal hydride, for example lithium aluminum hydride, sodium borohydride or sodium in ethanol. The compounds wherein R.sub.2 is alkynyl are prepared by reacting the ketone with a lithium salt complex such as Li C.sup..sym..crclbar. .tbd.CH.H.sub.2 NCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 NH.sub.2. This particular compound is commercially available from Foote Mineral. Where other alkynyl chain lengths are desired, the appropriate alkali metal salt or Grignard agent is employed. The reaction is generally carried out at room temperature in a dry environment including a dry solvent such as a cyclic ether, e.g., tetrahydrofuran. Higher temperatures up to about 100.degree. C. may be used as needed.
For all other R.sub.2 substituents, the ketone is reacted with an appropriately substituted Grignard reagent in excess for an extended period of time, for example from about two to about four days. Typical Grignard reaction conditions and environment are employed. When G is intended to be hydroxy in the final product, it should be protected in the same manner as R.sub.5 being OH. Tetrahydropyranyl is the preferred protecting group. Elevated temperatures up to about 100.degree. C. are used although most reactions proceed at a reasonable rate at room temperature. A cyclic ether solvent such as tetrahydrofuran is employed with facility. The reaction environment is preferably maintained in a dry inert state.
It should also be noted that the compounds of the invention can be prepared by reacting the ketone with a LiR.sub.2 reagent under known reaction conditions.
The above reaction schemes prepare compounds of the invention wherein R is hydrogen. To prepare compounds of the invention wherein R is ##STR12## an acylation is undertaken. A standard acylating agent such as an anhydride, for example acetic anhydride, is reacted with the alcohol of Formula I at a low temperature, for example 0.degree. to 35.degree. C., for a period of time, e.g., 2-30 hours, followed by basic work-up to form compounds of Formula I wherein R is ##STR13##
The compounds of Formula I can occur in their cis and trans forms.
On occasion the compounds or their addition salts in their crystalline state are isolated as solvates, i.e., with a discreet quantity of solvent, e.g., water, ethanol, and the like, associated physically, and thus removable without effective alteration of the chemical entity per se.

A reaction mixture consisting of 10 g. (0.085 mole) 4-hydroxycyclohexanone, 4.75 ml. ethylene glycol, 0.20 g. p-toluenesulfonic acid, and 100 ml. benzene is heated at the reflux temperature in a reaction vessel fitted with a Dean and Stark trap for two hours. After the reaction mixture has cooled, it is washed first with water and then with brine. The benzene is then removed by evaporation under reduced pressure giving the intermediate 4-hydroxycyclohexanone ethylene monoketal as a viscous oil weighing 14.12 g.

Rectal suppositories, tablets or capsules are packaged either individually, in unit-dose, or in quantity, multiple dose, for example, 2, 6, or 12.
The pharmaceutically therapeutically active compounds of the Formula I are administered orally, parenterally or rectally in unit-dosage forms or multiple-dosage forms. Unit-dose forms as used in the specification and claims refers to physically discrete units suitable for human and animal subjects and packaged individually as is known in the art. Each unit-dose contains a predetermined quantity of the therapeutically active compound sufficient to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in association with the required pharmaceutical carrier, vehicle or diluent. Examples of unit-dose forms include ampuls and syringes (parenteral), individually packaged tablet or capsule (oral-solid) or individually packaged teaspoonful or tablespoonful (oral-liquid). Unit-dose forms may be administered in fractions or multiples thereof. A multiple-dose form is a plurality of identical unit-dosage forms packaged in a single container to be administered in segregated unit-dose form. Examples of multiple-dose forms include vials (parenteral), bottles of tablets or capsules (oral-solid) or bottles of pints or gallons (oral-liquid). Hence, multiple dose form is a multiple of unit-doses which are not segregated in packaging. The specifications for the unit-dosage form and the multiple dosage form are dictated by and directly dependent on (a) the unique characteristic of the therapeutically active compound and the particular therapeutic effect to be achieved and (b) the limitations inherent in the art of compounding such a therapeutically active compound for therapeutic or prophylactic.
In addition to the administration of a compound of Formula I as the principal active ingredient of composition for the treatment of the conditions described herein, the said compound can be included with other types of compounds to obtain advantageous combinations of properties. Such combinations include a compound of Formula I with other analgesics such as aspirin, phenacetin, acetaminophen, propoxyphene, pentazocine, codeine, meperidine, oxycodone, mefenamic acid, and ibuprofen; muscle relaxants such as methocarbamol, orphenadrine, carisoprodol, meprobamate, chlorphenesin carbamate, diazepam, chlordiazepoxide, and chlorzoxazone; analeptics such as caffeine, methylphenidate and pentylenetetrazol; corticosteroids such as methylprednisolone, prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethansone; antihistamines such as chlorpheniramine, cyprohetadine, promethazine and pyrilamine.
The compounds of the Formula I have analgetic activity and can be used for the relief of pain without loss of consciousness. The compounds can be used to treat the pain of headache, muscle spasm, arthritis and other musculoskeletal conditions, e.g., bursitis, relieve mild to moderate postoperative and postpartum pain; dysmenorrhea and pain of traumatic origin. Additionally, the compounds of Formula I can be administrated for the treatment of severe pain, e.g., pain associated with adenocarcinoma, amputation of a limb, and third degree burns over a major portion of the body in animals and humans.
The compounds are also useful for inducing a state of anesthesia and/or analgesia wherein surgical procedures can be performed. The compounds can therein be used in combination with sedatives such as promazine or droperidol or with muscle relaxants.
The dosage of the compound of Formula I for analgetic purposes varies for the particular isomer. The less polar isomer, provisionally designated trans throughout this application, is far more potent in the standard analgetic measuring tests that its "cis" isomer. Differences in potency between the "trans" and "cis" isomer up to 100,000 times have been observed. Therefore, a separate dosage range for each isomer is provided. For "trans" isomers of the compounds of Formula I a range of from about 1.0 to about 100 mg./day divided between two to three daily doses brings about effective analgetic action. A preferred dosage range is from about 5 to about 80 mg./day. The "cis" isomer is dosed in a range of from about 10 to about 500 mg./day in two to three divided doses. A preferred dosage range is from about 25 to about 300 mg./day. A mixture of cis and trans should be administered in a manner which is midway between the cis and trans individual dosage ranges.
Some "trans" compounds are extremely more potent than others when administered parenterally. For these compounds, particular care is required in dosing. Compounds of this type are "trans" compounds wherein R.sub.2 is alkenyl of four to six carbon atoms inclusive, phenalkyl and p-fluorophenalkyl wherein alkyl is one to two carbon atoms, inclusive, alkylenylcycloalkyl wherein alkylene is one to three carbon atoms, inclusive, and cycloalkyl is three to six carbon atoms, inclusive, and alkylenylcycloalkenyl where alkylene is one to three carbon atoms, inclusive, and cycloalkenyl is five to seven carbon atoms, inclusive, and ##STR46## A dosage range of from about 1 .mu.g. to about 500 .mu.g., preferably 5 .mu.g. to about 150 .mu.g. per day divided among two to three doses can be employed for parenteral administration.
