4,1-Benzoxazepines

I. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Various 1,4-benzodiazepine compounds including nitrazepam, diazepam, medazepam, estazolam, and triazolam have been practically used as hypnotics, minor tranquilizers or psychotropic drugs. Recently, the mental disorders show a tendency to rapidly increase together with growth of the complexities in human society. As a result of intensive researches for central nervous system drugs which are more effective and broadly applicable to mental disorders, the present inventors have found that 4,1-benzoxazepines and 4,1-benzothiazepines have excellent central nervous system actions. This invention is based on this finding. The compounds having 1,4-benzodiazepine structure are well-known, and some compounds having 4,1-benzoxazepine or 4,1-benzothiazepine structure are described in German Patent No. 1,545,639, U.S. Pat. No. 3,346,638, Farmaco. Ed. Sci., 18, 815 (1963) and Ann. Chem., 1978, 1241. But the compounds of this invention shown hereinafter are novel.

Elemental Analysis (for C.sub.17 H.sub.13 O.sub.2 N.sub.3 Cl.sub.2): Calcd(%): C, 56.37; H, 3.62; N, 11.62; Cl, 19.57. Found(%): C, 56.54; H, 3.59; N, 11.47; Cl, 19.65.
(3) A mixture of 3.3 g (9.1 mmoles) of Compound 38 and 5 ml of thionyl chloride is stirred at 60.degree. C. for 1.5 hours, diluted with 150 ml of benzene, and evaporated under reduced pressure. This operation is repeated twice in order that the excess amount of reagent may be evaporated off. The resulting residue is mixed with 5% aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and ethyl acetate. The organic layer is washed with water, dried and evaporated. The residue (3.4 g) is purified on chromatography (silica gel/ethyl acetate-methanol (20:5)) to give 3.1 g of Compound 39 in 89.3% yield.

To a solution of 2.5 g of Compound 41 in 25 ml of dry dimethylformamide is added 1.8 ml of chloroacetylchloride at -5.degree. C. with stirring, and the mixture is stirred at the same temperature for 2 hours and at room temperature for 4 hours. The precipitate (9.1 g), which is collected by filtration and washed with ether, is dissolved in 100 ml of glacial acetic acid. Sodium acetate (3.6 g) is added thereto, and the mixture is refluxed under heating on an oil bath for 1 hour and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. The residue is made alkaline with 5% aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer is washed with water, dried, and evaporated. The resulting viscous residue is purified on chromatography (silica gel/ethyl acetate-methanol (20:3)) to give 5.9 g of Compound 39 in 60.9% yield.
(4) A solution of 1.5 g (3.9 mmoles) of Compound 39 and 981 mg (5.9 mmoles) of potassium iodide in 40 ml of dry methanol is refluxed under heating on an oil bath for 30 minutes. A solution of 140 mg (6 mmoles) of metallic sodium in 30 ml of dry methanol is slowly dropwise added thereto, and the mixture is stirred for 5 hours and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue is mixed with water and ethyl acetate, and the organic layer is separated, washed with water, dried, and evaporated. The residue (1.45 g) is treated on chromatography (silica gel/ethyl acetate-methanol (20:2)) to give 1.2 g of Compound 40 in 81% yield.

Preparation of 1-methyl-2-oxo-5-(2-chlorophenyl)-5-[2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethoxy]-7-chloro-1,2,3,5-tetrahydro-[4,1]-benzoxazepine ##STR46##
A suspension of 1.42 g of Compound 42 and 0.73 g of potassium iodide in 15 ml of acetone is refluxed for 1 hour and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue is extracted with ethyl acetate, and the extract is washed with water, dried and evaporated. The residue is mixed with 2 ml of 2-(dimethylamino)ethanol, 50% suspension of 0.186 g of sodium hydride in mineral oil and 4 ml of dimethylformamide, and the mixture is stirred for 1 hour, diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract is dried and evaporated. The residue is purified on column chromatography (silica gel/methanol) to give 0.55 g of Compound 43 in 33.7% yield, which is recrystallized from ether.
