A substituted benzaldehyde is selected having the formula ##STR25## Such benzaldehydes are well known or can be synthesized by conventional techniques well known by one of ordinary skill in the art. Compound II is reacted with hydroxylamine hydrochloride, under conventional oxime formation conditions, to form the oxime, Compound III, having the formula ##STR26## Typically, this reaction is conducted in a basic aromatic solvent, such as pyridine, picoline or collidine, at about room temperature to 100.degree. C. for 0.5 to 2 hours.
Oxime III is reacted with a halogen such as Cl.sub.2 or Br.sub.2 to form a halo-oxime of the formula ##STR27## where Hal is a halogen selected from Cl and Br. Typically, this reaction is conducted in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane, chloroform or 8N HCl at a temperature of from 0.degree. to 15.degree. C. Gaseous halogen, e.g. Cl.sub.2, is bubbled into the reaction at such a rate as to maintain the reaction temperature below 15.degree. C. The halogen is bubbled in for a time period of from about 2 to 10 minutes whereafter; when the solvent is not 8N HCl, a triethylamine/solvent solution is added dropwise during further bubbling of the gaseous halogen until no further color changes are observed.
Compound IV is reacted with Compound V of the formula ##STR28## to form Compound (VI) of the formula ##STR29##
Compound V is well known or can be synthesized by conventional techniques well known by one of ordinary skill in the art. For example, Compound V can be prepared following the techniques of Edward J. Cone et al., J. Organic Chemistry 37, No. 26, 4436 (1972). Typically, a 1,3-cyclohexanedione of the formula ##STR30## is reacted with morpholine, ##STR31## in an inert solvent, such as benzene or toluene, under a nitrogen atmosphere at reflux for 1 to 2 hours to obtain Compound V.
Compound IV is combined with Compound V, contained in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane or chloroform in the presence of triethylamine, present in an amount of 2 to 3 equivalents, at ambient temperature for 18 to 24 hours to obtain Compound VI.
Compound VI is reacted with an amine of the formula ##STR32## in the presence of paraformaldehyde to form Compound VIII of the invention having the formula ##STR33## Typically, this reaction is conducted in an alkanolic solvent such as methanol, ethanol or isobutanol at a temperature of 25.degree. to 100.degree. C. for 1 to 24 hours. Alternatively Compound VIII is formed by reacting Compound VI with an amine IX of the formula ##STR34## in the presence of a strong organic acid such as trifluoroacetic or methanesulfonic acid. Typically, the reaction is conducted with the organic acid as solvent, at a temperature of 0.degree. to 100.degree. C. for 1 to 12 hours.
Compound VIII, where R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are alkyl, may undergo a displacement reaction with a higher boiling amine, such as a base containing a heterocyclic group, e.g. a piperidinyl, pyrrolidinyl, morpholinyl, 1H-imidazol-1-yl, 1-piperazinyl, 4-substituted-1-piperazinyl or 4-substituted-1-piperidinyl group to form Compound X of the invention of the formula ##STR35## where R.sub.5 is the heterocyclic group.
An intermediate in this reaction is the 5-methylene derivative (Xa) of the formula ##STR36## Compound Xa can be prepared independently by treating Compound VIII first with excess methyl iodide and then with a base such as aqueous sodium bicarbonate. In an alternative preparation of Compound X, Compound Xa is subjected to an addition reaction with the higher boiling amine, such as the base containing a heterocycle, as described above.
An alternative preparation is as follows.
Compound VI is lithiated, under conventional lithiation techniques and conditions, i.e., by reaction with an organic lithiation agent, such as lithium diisopropylamide, lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide or lithium dicyclohexylamide in an etheral solvent, such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or dimethoxyethane, at a temperature of -78.degree. to 25.degree. C. for 0.15 to 3 hours, in an inert atmosphere, e.g. nitrogen atmosphere, to form Compound XI of the formula ##STR37## Compound XI in turn is reacted with a dihaloalkane of the formula Hal-(CH.sub.2).sub.m -Hal (XII), where each Hal is independently Cl, F, Br or I, e.g., 1-chloro-3-iodopropane, to form compound XIII of the formula ##STR38##
Alternatively, compound XI may be reacted with a halo alkyl or halo aryl formate of the formula Hal-COO-R.sub.10, where Hal is Cl or Br and R.sub.10 is loweralkyl or aryl, to form compound XIIIa of the formula ##STR39## Typically, these reactions are carried out in an ethereal solvent such as diethylether, tetrahydrofuran or dimethoxyethane at a temperature of -78.degree. to 25.degree. C. for 0.5 to 24 hours.
Compound XIIIa may be further reacted with a dihaloalkane of the formula XII described above to form compound XIIIb having the formula ##STR40##
Typically, this reaction is carried out in a polar solvent such as acetone, methanol or acetonitrile in the presence of a base such as potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, or sodium methoxide at a temperature of 0.degree. to 100.degree. C. for 1 to 24 hours.
The resultant Compounds XIII are then reacted with an amine of the formula ##STR41## to form a compound of the invention XIV having the formula ##STR42##
Compounds VIII, X and XIV (where R.sub.4 =H) may be reduced in a conventional manner, such as with a metal hydride, e.g. NaBH.sub.4 or LiBH.sub.4 under conventional reducing conditions to form Compounds VIII(a), X(a) and XIV(a), respectively, having the formula, ##STR43##
Compound XIII can be lithiated, in the manner described above, whereafter a haloalkane of the formula R.sub.9 Hal where R.sub.9 is loweralkyl and Hal is a halogen selected from Cl, Br and I, is reacted with the lithiated compound, in a conventional manner, to obtain Compound XV where R.sub.1 is lower alkyl. Typically, the reaction is carried out in an ethereal solvent such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or 1,2-dimethoxyethane at a temperature of -78.degree. to 25.degree. C. for 0.5 to 24 hours. ##STR44##
The compounds of the present invention are useful for treating psychoses by virtue of their ability to elicit an antipsychotic response in mammals.
Antipsychotic activity is determined in the Climbing Mice Assay by a method similar to that described by P. Protais, et al., Psychopharmacol., 50, 1 (1976) and B. Costall, Eur. J. Pharmacol., 50, 39 (1978).
The subject CK-1 male mice (23-27 grams) are group-housed under standard laboratory conditions. The mice are individually placed in wire mesh stick cages (4".times.4".times.10") and are allowed one hour for adaptation and exploration of the new environment. Then apomorphine is injected subcutaneously at 1.5 mg/kg, a dose causing climbing in all subjects for 30 minutes.
Compounds to be tested for antipsychotic activity are injected intraperitoneally or given orally at various time intervals, e.g. 30 minutes, 60 minutes, etc. prior to the apomorphine challenge at a screening dose of 10-60 mg/kg.
For evaluation of climbing, 3 readings are taken at 10, 20 and 30 minutes after apomorphine administration according to the following scale:
______________________________________Climbing Behavior Score______________________________________Mice With4 paws on bottom (no climbing) 02 paws on the wall (rearing) 14 paws on the wall (full climb) 2______________________________________
Mice consistently climbing before the injection of apomorphine will be discarded.
With full-developed apomorphine climbing, the animals are hanging on to the cage walls, rather motionless, over longer periods of time. By contrast, climbs due to mere motor stimulation usually only last a few seconds.
The climbing scores are individually totaled (maximal score: 6 per mouse over 3 readings) and the total score of the control group (vehicle intraperitoneally-apomorphine subcutaneously) is set to 100%. ED.sub.50 values with 95% confidence limits, calculated by a linear regression analysis, of some of the compounds of the instant invention as well as a standard antipsychotic agent are presented in Table I.

In 700 ml benzene was dissolved 40.0 g 1,3-cyclohexanedione and 62 ml morpholine. The resulting solution was heated at reflux under nitrogen atmosphere for 1.5 hours. The water present in the reaction mixture was collected using a Dean-Stark trap.

After a dark blue color was generated (2-3 minutes) a solution of triethylamine (50 ml) in dichloromethane (100 ml) was added dropwise concurrently with Cl.sub.2 addition. When the reaction mixture had maintained a yellow color, additions of the triethylamine solution and Cl.sub.2 were discontinued.
