Antiarrhythmic N-aminoalkylene alkyl and aryl sulfonamides

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides novel compounds which are the products of processes having novel intermediates and the use of compounds, including both the novel compounds and the novel intermediates, for the therapeutic or prophylactic treatment of arrhythmic activity. That is, the compounds of the present invention provide antiarrhythmic activity.
Antiarrhythmic activity of compounds which provide therapy is the mainstay of long-term antiarrhythmic treatment. However, clinicians have long sought the "ideal" antiarrhythmic compound. Such a compound has not yet been found.
Antiarrhythmic therapy and compounds providing beneficial antiarrhythmic activity in relation to electrophysiological classes of action, cardiovascular effects, and pharmacokinetic properties are known. See, for example, K. Nademanee, et al., "Advances in Antiarrhythmic Therapy, The Role of Newer Antiarrhythmic Drugs", JAMA, vol. 247, no. 2, pp. 217-222 (Jan. 8, 1982).
Antiarrhythmic activity is dependent on the effect of a compound on the transmembrane potential of caridac tissue. Thus, antiarrhythmic compounds may be classified according to the type of activity that they have on this potential. Transmembrane potential or action potential of a typical spontaneous depolarizing conducting fiber in the heart is reproduced as FIG. 1 in a publication by D. T. Mason, et al. in Cardiovascular Drugs, vol. 1, chapter III, ADIS Press, Sydney (1977). Besides the depolarization phase noted as phase 0 in the Mason, et al. reference figure, other phases 1, 2, 3, and 4, are also shown. It is at the end of phase 3 that the conducting fiber in the heart reaches its maximum level of polarization, at which time the inside of a cell in the fiber is about 90 millivolts more negative than the surrounding fluid. At this point the spontaneously depolarizing cell begins to lose its polarization. This is phase 4 and is known as "automaticity." It is during phase 4 that pacemaker cells, for example, the SA node of the right atrium, establish the heart rate. Loss of polarization is under sympathetic control which via the .beta.-adrenergic receptor increases the heart rate, and is under vagal control which via cholinergic receptors slows the heart rate. Therefore, .beta.-adrenergic blockers, also known as class II antiarrhythmic agents, slow the heart rate by blocking the sympathetic control mechanism.
Phase 0, the depolarization phase, occurs when the transmembrane potential reaches a threshold potential. Such threshold potential is shown by the FIG. 1 noted above to be about -75 mv. The mechanism of depolarization is thought to be by influx of sodium ions and is accompanied by contraction of the cardiac muscle. Regardless of the mechanism, when the threshold potential is reached, a cell capable of undergoing phase 0 depolarization will depolarize. If the threshold is reached due to the untimely depolarization of adjacent diseased tissue the phenomenon of reentrant arrhythmias can result. Phase 0 depolarization determines the conduction velocity of the tissue. By far the greatest number of available antiarrhythmic agents have an effect on this part of the action potential and are known as Class I antiarrhythmic agents. Thus, Class I agents exert their primary effect on phase 0 depolarization. An example of the effect can be seen for quinidine in the FIG. I which is cited above.
Phase 2 of the action potential is associated with a slow inward transmembrane Ca.sup.++ current. The slow channel calcium blockers known as Class IV antiarrhythmic agents have an effect in this phase.
Finally, the repolarization of the tissue is phase 3 and is associated with a rapid efflux of potassium ion.
For a period of time between phase 0 and phase 3 of the action potential the tissue is unresponsive to a second depolarizing stimulus. This period is known as the refractory period; it is directly related to the duration of the action potential. As early as 1970 it was suggested that drugs which prolong the refractory period could prevent or abolish ventricular tachyarrhythmias and fibrillation. The suggestion is reviewed extensively by J. Thomis et al. in "Ann. Reports in Medicinal Chemistry", vol. 18, H. J. Hess, Ed., Academic Press, New York, N.Y., Chapter 11, (1983). Compounds which prolong the refractory period are known as Class III antiarrhythmia agents. Thus, it is now becoming apparent that the Class III rather than the Class I agents are useful for preventing resistant, life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. See K. Nademanee et al. cited above and B. N. Singh, et al., "A Third Class of Antiarrhythmic Action. Effects on Atrial and Ventricular Intracellular Potentials, and Other Pharmacological Actions on Cardiac Muscle, of MJ 1999 and AH 3474," Br. J. Pharmac., 39, 675-687 (1970).
The compounds, both the novel compounds and the novel intermediates of the present invention are of these Class III type compounds useful for their antiarrhythmic effect.
INFORMATION DISCLOSURE
U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,341,584 and 3,478,149, both assigned to Mead Johnson, disclose sulfonanilides which are pharmacologically active phenethanolamines having both peripheral and CNS activity. The sulfonanilides disclosed include combinations of substituents representing a wide generic scope. For example, a side chain having various amines is presented. These amines are of primary, secondary or tertiary types. No tertiary type compounds are identified as a class or separate subgenus by the Mead Johnson patent as having the special properties now found in the present invention. Specifically, the above noted Mead Johnson patents disclose 4'-[1-hydroxy-2-(isopropylamino)ethyl]methanesulfonanilide and its hydrochloride acid addition salt which are also now identified in the literature as sotalol hydrochloride hereinafter sotalol or MJ 1999. In addition to the uses in the above cited patents sotalol has subsequently been identified as a .beta.-adrenergic blocker or as having .beta.-sympatholytic effects. Further, sotalol is also found to have Class III antiarrhythmic activity. See B. N. Singh et al. cited above, D. H. Bennett, Br. Heart J., 47, 521 (1982) and Symposia Reporter, 6, 2 (1982).
Phenalkylamine compounds containing the combination of phenolic hydroxyl and sulfonanilide substituents are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,574,741. These compounds are disclosed as having sympathomimetic activity including adrenergic vasoconstrictor activity. However, the compounds all require the presence of a hydroxyl group on the phenyl ring and none of them are quarternary ammonium salts.
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,660,487 phenethanolamines with N-(alkyl)alkanesulfonamido and hydroxy substituents are described. These compounds are described as being capable of suppressing both alpha and beta adrenergic stimulation. All of the compounds disclosed require the presence of a hydroxyl group on the phenyl ring and there are no quarternary ammonium compounds disclosed.
The novel compounds of formula I which are quaternary ammonium type compounds and the novel intermediates of formula II which are tertiary amino type compounds of the present invention have antiarrhythmic activity; in particular Class III activity or a combination of Class I and Class III activity. The compounds of formulas I and II herein do not exhibit .beta.-blocking activity. Furthermore, the intermediate tertiary amines of formula II provide surprising and unexpectedly better antiarrhythmic activity when compared to sotalol and the quaternary amines of formula I have demonstrated an absence of CNS activity. Thus, the novel compounds of the present invention and the novel intermediates of the present invention are not obvious and/or provide unexpected and surprising results in view of the Mead Johnson patents. In fact, because of its CNS and/or .beta.-sympatholytic effects as taught by the Mead Johnson patents, the use of sotalol as a Class III agent in some cases may be contraindicated as compared to the present invention compounds.
Clofilium bromide which is 4-chloro-N,N-diethyl-N-heptyl benzenebutanaminium bromide is a species in a generic disclosure for quaternary ammonium salts having use for treating arrhythmias and prolonging the action potential of cardiac tissue. The disclosure of clofilium bromide and other compounds generically related thereto is found in U.S. Pat. No. 4,289,787. These compounds do not however encompass compounds having a sulfonanilide substituent such as now found in the present invention. Further, the suggestion that the antiarrhythmic activity of clofilium bromide is due to its effect on the refractory period discussed above is disputed. See G. Kopia, et al., Federation Proc., 40, 673 (1981) and G. Kopia, et al., Circulation, 64, IV-124 (1981). Certainly, results of clofilium bromide in tests on the refractory period of rabbit papillary muscle as set out for compounds of the present invention support such disputations.

For the preparation of salts with monobasic acids and monoacidic bases, use of equimolar quantities of the two reactants is convenient. In the formation of salts of polyacidic bases and polybasic acids, one or more chemical equivalents of the acid or base can be employed.
The method of use for the treatment of arrhythmias with the compounds I/II of the present invention may be therapeutic or prophylactic. The employment of sound medical therapy requires the compounds I/II be employed only where the animal or human has, or is susceptible to the development of, arrhythmias. Particularly, the compounds I/II of the present invention are for treating patients susceptible to ventricular arrhythmias including ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation which are associated with sudden death. Thus, the compounds I/II are useful for treating patients preferably human patients who are suffering from angina, ischemic heart diseases or other cardiac dysfunctions which may be associated with conditions contributing to cardiac rhythm disorders. The conditions and circumstances which; (1) require antiarrhythmic treatment, or (2) increase susceptibility to arrhythmias are readily ascertained by the ordinarily skilled physician or veterinarian.
In addition to the above described compounds, process and method of use, the invention embraces compositions having the compound of formula I/II wherein n, R, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, R.sub.6, R.sub.7, R.sub.8, R.sub.9, X.sup.-, and Z are as defined above in combination with a pharmaceutical carrier.
Combinations of the compounds of formula I/II with various antiarrhythmic agents known in the art are also within the scope of this invention. For example, combinations may include, Class I antiarrhythmic agents, such as quinidine, tocainide, lidocaine or the like; Class II antiarrhythmic agents, such as, propranolol, atenolol or the like; Class III antiarrhythmic agents such as clofilium, sotalol, amiodarone and meobentine; and Class IV antiarrhythmic agents such as verapamil or diltiazem.
Various dosage forms may be employed, such as oral dosage forms including tablets, powders, capsules, and solutions or suspensions in suitable solvent, or parenteral dosage forms, such as sterile solutions in water or other suitable solvents. The compounds of formula I/II are used in unit dosages of 0.03 to 50 mg/kg in dosage forms for administration by routes either oral, sublingual, transdermal, or parenteral such as by subcutaneous, intramuscular, or intravenous injection and the like dosage forms.
The compositions of the present invention may also include sustained release oral dosage forms and controlled release dosage forms by which the effect of the dosage is, for example, through the skin. Such compositions are those known to an oridinarily skilled artisan or can be ascertained by ordinary experimentation from known compositions.
The exact dose depends on the age, weight, and condition of the patient and on the frequency and route of administration. Such variations are within the skill of the practitioner or can be readily determined.
The tests used for assessing the increase in refractoriness produced by the compounds of the present invention are as follows.
Rabbits (1.5-2.0 kg) of either sex are anesthetized with ether and their hearts removed. The heart is immersed in perfusate while the atria, papillary muscles and a right ventricular (RV) strip are isolated. The tissues are individually mounted on a plexiglass holder containing platinum stimulating electrodes and suspended in a 100 ml bath. Right atria are allowed to contract spontaneously. RV strips are stimulated (Grass S8 with SI unit) at 2.times. threshold with 4 msec rectangular pulses at a frequency of 2 Hz. Papillary muscles are stimulated (Grass S88 with SI and CC unit) at 2.times. threshold with 4 msec rectangular pulses at a frequency of 1 and 3 Hz. The tissue is attached by silk suture to a force-displacement transducer (Glass FT03) and each is gently stretched to the peak of its own length-tension relationship by gradually increasing the preload.
Isometric tension and its electronically differentiated signal (.+-.dF/dt) are recorded on a polygraph (7D). To measure the effective refractory period (ERP), a premature stimulus S.sub.2 is introduced after every eighth pacing stimulus S.sub.1. The ERP is defined as the shortest S.sub.1 S.sub.2 interval (msec) that provokes a premature contraction. The ERP is separately measured at each of two pacing frequencies S.sub.1 =1 and 3 Hz, with S.sub.2 voltage equal to S.sub.1 voltage. The maximum following frequency (MFF) is measured by incrementally increasing the S.sub.1 rate until the tissue is no longer able to follow each stimulus and adopts a 2:1 rhythm. MFF is inversely proportional to ERP (1000/MFF)=ERP in msec. To record changes in tissue conduction time (CTIME), teflon coated silver bipolar electrodes are gently placed against the endocardial surface of the RV strip. The biphasic electrogram is displayed on an oscilloscope (Tektronix Type 502A). Polaroid photographs of the potentials are taken and changes in CTIME are measured from the photographs. Since the positions of the recording electrode relative to the stimulating electrode remain constant throughout an experiment, an increase in CTIME is equivalent to a decrease in conduction velocity.
The temperature of the baths and perfusate is maintained at 30.degree. C. by a circulating heat pump (Haake Type F) connected to a glass heat exchanger. The tissue perfusate contains (mM): NaCl 118; KCl 5.4; NaHCO.sub.3 25; MgCl.sub.2 1.2; KH.sub.2 PO.sub.4 1; CaCl.sub.2 2.4 and glucose 10. The normoxic perfusate is aerated with 95% O2 plus 5% CO.sub.2 which buffered the solution to pH 7.410 PO.sub.2 568 and PCO.sub.2 35 mmHg.
Illustrative examples are for each of 9 different compounds. Of these, one is sotalol, one is clofilium bromide, three are known analogs thereof (the known compounds are described in Table 2 and are compounds of Formula III) and four are novel compounds or novel intermediates of this invention (see Table 1) synthesized according to the procedures discussed herein. Each compound is dissolved in tissue perfusate and 10.sup.-2 molar stock solutions are prepared. These solutions are kept at 4.degree. C. After control measurements, increasing concentrations of test compound are added in microliter aliquots to each bath. Noncumulative dose effects are measured 30 minutes later and the tissue washed.
Each tissue serves as its own control. Data are reported as mean percent change.+-.SEM. Paired t-tests are used to evaluate significance at the p<0.05 level.
Table 1 shows the results of testing for each of four compounds which are novel compounds or novel intermediates of the present invention by the means described above to show antiarrhythmic effect.
Table 2 shows the results of testing sotalol compound No. 1, clofilium compound No. 2, which are both named and discussed above, and three analogs thereof. The testing is accomplished in the same means as used for testing the compounds of Table 1.
In both of the above Tables 1 and 2 descriptions for the various markings are as follows:
A single arrow indicates a statistically significant change (increase or decrease) usually greater than a 10% change from control.
A double arrow indicates a greater than 30% change.
An arrow in parentheses (.uparw.) indicates that the change was not statistically significant.
An asterisk indicates that the effect appears to be dose related.
The molar concentrations of the compounds in the tissue perfusate are indicated.
CT is the change in time required to conduct a pulse between two electrodes mounted on a strip of right ventricular tissue, an increase in CT represents a decrease in conduction velocity.
ERP1 and ERP3 represent changes in the effective refractory period of papillary muscles stimulated at a constant frequency of 1 or 3 Hz respectively.
MFF represents the change in maximum following frequency of the papillary muscle determined by gradually increasing the stimulus frequency until the tissue is no longer able to respond on a one to one basis. A decrease in MFF indicates an increase in effective refractory period.
+dF/dt is a measure of the contractility of the tissue during the up stroke or phase O of the action potential. A decrease in +dF/dt is an indication of a decrease in contractility or negative inotropic effect--an undesirable effect on the tissue.
Auto is an indication of the change in the rate of spontaneous contraction (automaticity) of the right atrial tissue.
In addition to their antiarrhythmic activity, the compounds of formula I have a positive inotropic activity which will make them useful for treating conditions requiring increased myocardial contractility. Such conditions are generally found in chronic cardiac failure. A specific compound that has this property is compound No. 4 in Table 1.
It is readily apparent from Table 1 that the compounds of this invention increase the refractoriness of cardiac tissue but do not have undesirable effects at the concentrations tested. Each gives a much better effect on the refractory period than either sotalol (No. 1 in Table 2) or clofilium (No. 2 in Table 2).
Further, compound No. 1 of Table 1 is found to be inactive in a CNS receptor binding assay for opiate, antipsychotic, benzodiazepine, muscarinic cholinergic, beta-adrenergic, alpha-1 adrenergic, alpha-2 adrenergic and serotonergic activity. This inactivity suggests that this specific compound and members of the tertiary amine type compounds do not have undesirable effects on these receptors. This is contrary to the teaching for sotalol and analogs of sotalol as disclosed in the Mead Johnson patents cited above which are claimed to have adrenergic agonist and antagonist effects. Some compounds of formula II, including No. 1 of Table 1, have been determined to exert behavioral effects suggestive of some type of CNS activity in the conscious dog.
Finally, the compounds having the formula I, for example, 2., 3., and 4., of Table 1 are prepared from novel intermediates having the formula II. Both novel intermediates having formula II and novel compounds having formula I are limited to substituents not including --C(.dbd.O) in place of --CH(R.sub.2)--.
Additionally, the process of this invention requires a tertiary amine of formula II to obtain a quaternary amine as N.sup.+ R.sub.3 R.sub.4 R.sub.5 X.sup.- in the novel compounds of formula I. Thus, the definitions required as R.sub.2, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 in formula II can be said to contribute to the significant increase in desirable refractoriness of cardiac tissue provided by the compounds of formula I having related definitions without other undesirable effects as found for compounds previously known.
Processes for preparing the compounds of the present invention having formula I/II include processes to prepare novel intermediates II and processes to prepare novel compounds I from the novel intermediates II. Generally, these processes are described in the following material and shown in Charts I-XIII.
The intermediate compounds herein and compounds of the formula I/II are isolated from their reaction mixtures by methods known in the art such as extraction, crystallization, chromatographic procedures and the like.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that when the R.sub.2 substituent of formula I/II is hydroxy, the compound has an asymmetric carbon atom. Where the methylene bridge joining the amine to the sulfonanilide does not contain an additional assymetric carbon atom two enantiomorphic forms exist. Where the methylene bridge does contain an additional asymmetric carbon, two racemic modifications of the product exists each of which consists of a pair of enantiomorphic forms. All of these enantiomers and mixtures thereof and other stereoisomeric forms of the substances of formula I/II are included within the scope of this invention.
In using the methods of the following charts and their descriptions herein, as would be evident to those skilled in the art, care must be taken to avoid undesirably altering additional functional groups present. It is believed that sufficient synthetic steps and sequences of steps are disclosed herein to allow considerable flexibility in choosing a synthetic path which does not undesirably change additional functional groups present. The requirements for, and the use of, protecting groups are known by those skilled in the art: e.g., for the protection of amine or hydroxy functionality. See for example: J. F. W. McOmie, Advances in Organic Chemistry, 3: 191-281 (1963); R. A. Boissonas, Advances in Organic Chemistr, 3: 159-190 (1963); "Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry," J. F. W. McOmie, Ed., Plenum Press, New York, 1963, pg. 74; and "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis," Theodora W. Greene, John Wiley and Sons, New York, 1981.
In the following charts, acetophenone intermediates for compounds of formula I/II where R.sub.1 is halogen are made by known methods, e.g. Lutz, R. E., et al., J. Org. Chem., 12: 617-703 at 681, 1947. Preparations 11 and 12 below exemplify halogenation processes.
CHART I
In Chart I Steps I and IX, sulfonanilides are prepared by the reaction of an aniline, which is known or made by known procedures, with the appropriate sulfonyl chloride. A tertiary amine base is usually used to neutralize the acid formed in the reaction; pyridine or triethylamine can be used for this purpose; however, if desired an excess of the aniline can be employed. Solvents such as tetrahydrofuran, dimethylformamide toluene or pyridine (in excess) can be used.
Continuing in Chart I Step II, the sulfonanilide prepared in Step I is used to prepare an arylketone.
The arylketone is preferably prepared in Step II via a Friedel-Crafts reaction of the sulfonanilide with an appropriate acyl halide or anhydride. Catalysts for this reaction include aluminum chloride or other Lewis acid; solvents include carbon disulfide, chlorobenzene or other inert solvent.
The same arylketone prepared in Step II may also be prepared in Step X from the acetophenone which is product of Step IX. That is, bromination of acetophenones can be accomplished with bromine in solvents such as diethyl ether, chloroform or methylene chloride. Peroxides such as benzoyl peroxide can be used as catalysts.
Then, finally in Chart I the arylketone may be treated as shown in Steps IV and V to obtain the compound of formula II.sub.1 or may be treated as shown in Steps III and VII to obtain the compounds of formula II.sub.2. Each of these steps is generally carried out in the following manner:
Step III--Alkylation of an amine with a halide is usually carried out in a solvent such as a lower alkanol, tetrahydrofuran, dimethylformamide, acetonitrile, or dimethylsulfoxide. An excess of the amine is often used to neutralize the acid formed in the reaction and to promote formation of the monoalkylation product. Other bases such as alkali metal carbonates can also be used to neutralize the acid.
Step IV--Reduction of an aryl ketone of this type to the corresponding hydrocarbon can be accomplished with a trialkylsilane and an acid according to the method of Doyle and coworkers [C. T. West et al., J. Org. Chem. 38, 2675 (1973)]. At least two equivalents of the trialkylsilane, conveniently triethylsilane, are required but an excess can be used if desired. An excess of the acid, usually trifluoroacetic acid, is employed, often as the solvent; however, cosolvents such as carbon tetrachloride, acetonitrile or nitromethane can also be used. Temperatures of 25.degree.-100.degree. C. can be employed in the reaction.
Step V--See Step III above for generally effective process conditions.
Step VII--Reduction of the arylketones can be accomplished by catalytic hydrogenation using, for example, palladium catalysts such as palladium-on-carbon or by chemical methods such as sodium borohydride in alcoholic or aqueous alcoholic solvents or sodium cyanoborohydride in acidic media such as dilute hydrochloric acid with or without an organic cosolvent such as an alcohol or acetonitrile.
Step VIIIa--An adaptation of the procedure of G. A. Reynolds, et al., Organic Synthesis Collective, Vol. IV: 708-710, (1963) is used. An appropriately substituted nitrobenzoic acid, which is prepared by known methods, is converted to the acid chloride by refluxing with excess thionyl chloride. The resulting benzoyl chloride is reacted with diethyl ethoxymagnesium malonate in dry diethyl ether. The crude diethyl nitrobenzoylmalonate is refluxed with an aqueous acetic acid-sulfuric acid mixture to produce the desired substituted acetophenone.
Step VIII--The nitro group of an appropriately substituted nitroacetophenone is reduced to produce the corresponding aniline by known methods such as heating with stannous chloride dihydrate in absolute ethanol.
When R.sub.6 of a formula I/II compound is to be methyl, this methyl group can be introduced by using in the synthesis of the said formula I/II compound an appropriate N-methyl substituted starting material which is known or can be made by known methods. For example, referring to Chart I, the starting material for Steps II or X are N-methylated as in Step XI by reaction with a suitable base, for example sodium hydride, in a suitable solvent, for example tetrahydrofuran, dimethylformamide, or the like, or mixtures of such solvents, followed by reaction with methyl chloride, bromide or iodide to form the desired N-methylated compound. Alternatively, the appropriate N-methylaniline compound is prepared by the method of Step XI of Chart I and is used as starting material in Steps I or IX. In each case these N-methylated compounds are then subjected to steps in chart I to produce formula I/II compounds wherein R.sub.6 is methyl. Similarly, all of the compounds I/II wherein R.sub.6 is methyl are prepared.
CHART II
In Chart II Step I, a Mannich reaction of a known acetophenone with formaldehyde or an alkyl aldehyde and a secondary amine is carried out usually in aqueous solvents, perhaps with a lower alkanol as a cosolvent to aid solubility. The reaction is catalyzed by a mineral acid such as HCl, HBr or H.sub.2 SO.sub.4. Alternatively, the Mannich reagent of formula X can be prepared by the reaction of the appropriate diamine of formula XI with an acid halide or anhydride, e.g., acetyl chloride or trifluoroacetic anhydride. This reagent which can be prepared in situ in anhydrous solvents such as methylene chloride, tetrahydrofuran or dimethylformamide is then allowed to react with the acetophenone under essentially neutral conditions. Temperatures of 0.degree.-50.degree. C. are operable for the latter reaction.
The product of Step I Chart II may be reduced by hydrogenation as shown in Chart II Step IV. The conditions are similar to those described in Step VII of Chart I above.
When dimethylamine is used in Step I Chart II the product may be reacted with a methyl halide or a sulfate to give a quaternary ammonium salt shown in Step II of Chart II. The Chart II Step II reaction can be carried out in an excess of the alkylating agent or in a solvent such as ether, tetrahydrofuran or especially acetonitrile. Elevated temperatures, conveniently the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture can be employed.
The quaternary ammonium salts of this type will react with a secondary amine as shown in Step III of Chart II to give a tertiary amine and trimethyl amine gas. The reaction is usually carried out in solvents such as dimethylformamide or in an excess of the amine (NHR.sub.4 R.sub.5) as solvent. Elevated temperatures (25.degree.-100.degree. C.) are usually required. In Step IV of Chart II, the tertiary ketoamines are reduced to compounds of formula II.sub.2. The reaction conditions are similar to those described for Step VII of Chart I.
CHART III
In Chart III it is shown in Step I that amides can be prepared from known carboxylic acids by treating an activated derivative of the acid [e.g., acyl halide, anhydride, mixed anhydride, imidazolide (prepared from the acid and 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole) or activated ester (e.g., prepared from the acid with DCC/HOBT, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide/1-hydroxybenzotriazole)] with an appropriate amine.
In Step II amides of this type can be conveniently reduced to the corresponding amine of formula II.sub.1 with lithium aluminum hydride, diborane or the dimethylsulfide complex thereof. Tetrahydrofuran, diethylether, dioxane, benzene or toluene are useful solvents. Elevated temperatures, conveniently the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture, are usually required.
CHART IV
The methods of Chart IV are used to prepare compounds of the formula I/II wherein R.sub.2 is hydrogen and n is 1, 2, 3 or 4.
Step I is the formation of an amide as described above for Step I of Chart III. A starting material containing unsaturation such as 4-nitrocinnamic acid and the like is also used in the process of Chart IV, and the double bond thereof is reduced in Step II of Chart IV or in a separate reduction step.
Step II is nitro group reduction as described above for Step VIII of Chart I.
Step III is the sulfonylation of the primary amine as described for Step I of Chart I.
Step IV is the reduction of the amide carbonyl as described for step II of Chart III.
Reversal of steps III and IV of Chart IV produces the same end-product.
CHART V
The methods of Chart V are used to prepare compounds of the formula II.sub.2, wherein n is 3 or 4 and R.sub.9 adjacent to the nitrogen is hydrogen.

Step III is the sulfonylation of the primary amine as described for Step I of Chart I.
Step IV is the reduction of the amide carbonyl as described for Step II of Chart III.
CHART VI
Chart VI merely shows alternative uses of various steps described in the Charts I and III using variations to obtain compounds of formulae II, II.sub.1 or II.sub.2 wherein n=q and is therefore an integer 3 or 4. Description for appropriate process conditions of this chart are as follows:
For Step I of Chart VI see Step II of Chart I.
For Step II of Chart VI see Step I of Chart III.
In Step III of Chart VI the ketoamides prepared according to Step II are reduced with diborane or the dimethylsulfide complex thereof to give compounds of formula II.sub.1, wherein n=q. Tetrahydrofuran, diethylether, dioxane, benzene or toluene are useful solvents. Elevated temperatures, conveniently the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture can be employed.
In Step IV of Chart VI, it is shown that reduction of the ketoamides prepared in Step II with lithium aluminum hydride will give compounds of formula II.sub.2 wherein n=q. This reduction is carried out under carefully controlled conditions at a temperature of 0.degree. to -5.degree. C. Solvents such as diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran are suitable for this reaction. This reduction is carried out in refluxing THF, complete reduction of both carbonyls can result giving a compound of the formula II.sub.1 in addition to a compound of the formula II.sub.2.
CHART VII
Chart VII describes the process for making compounds of formula II.sub.2 wherein n is 3 or 4 and R.sub.9 adjacent to the nitrogen atom must be hydrogen. Chart VII begins with known carboxylic acids as described and shown to be prepared by the process of Step I of Chart VI. The carboxylic acids are then reduced as shown by Step I of Chart VII under very mild conditions by diborane. Thus, one equivalent of diborane in a solvent such as diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran at 0.degree.-25.degree. C. should be used for this selective reduction.
In Step II of Chart VII preparation of a methanesulfonate (mesylate) from an alcohol is usually carried out with methanesulfonyl chloride and triethylamine in methylene chloride at 0.degree. C. Mesylates react well with secondary amines to give the corresponding alkylation products.
For Step III of Chart VII see Step VII of Chart I.
CHART VIII
Chart VIII describes the process for making compounds of formula II.sub.1 wherein n=q and q=3 or 4. Chart VIII begins with a known carboxylic acid as prepared by the process described and shown in Step I of Chart VI. Then in Step I of Chart VIII aryl ketones of this type are conveniently reduced by the Clemmensen reduction with zinc and hydrochloric acid. For a recent review see E. Vedejs, Organic Reactions 22, 401 (1975).
For Step II of Chart VIII see Step I of Chart III.

Chart IX describes the process for making compounds of formula I/II wherein R.sub.9 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl and R.sub.9 is bonded to the carbon atom bearing the --N(R.sub.4)R.sub.5 group.
Step I is the reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alkyllithium (at least 3 equivalents) in a suitable solvent such as THF, diethyl ether, HMPA and the like, to produce the alkyl ketone.
Step II is the reductive amination of a ketone with sodium cyanoborohydride to produce a compound of formula II when n is 3 to 4.

For Step I of Chart X, see Step III of Chart I.
For Step II of Chart X, see Step VIII of Chart I.
For Step III of Chart X, see Step I of Chart I.
CHART XI
When the amination procedure of Step III of Chart I is used for the preparation of compounds of the formula II wherein n is 1 and RSO.sub.2 NH-- and --C(O)CH.sub.2 Br are on adjacent carbon atoms (ortho to each other), a higher temperature is desirable and then a competing reaction may reduce or eliminate the formation of the desired Step III product. To avoid the competing reaction, such compounds are prepared according to Steps I-IV of Chart XI, which is also applicable to preparation of the corresponding meta and para isomers.
For Step I of Chart XI, the selective reduction of the ketone is preferably carried out with sodium borohydride to avoid concomitant reduction of the nitro group.
For Step II of Chart XI, see Step III of Chart I.
For Steps III and VI of Chart XI, see Step VIII of Chart I; in Step VI, hydrogenolysis of the acetate group also occurs.
For Steps IV and VII of Chart XI, see Step I of Chart I.
An alternative synthesis of compounds of the formula II wherein R.sub.2 is hydrogen and n=1 is represented by Steps I, II, V, VI, and VII of Chart XI.
Step V is the conversion of the alcohol to the acetate ester, e.g. by reaction with acetic anhydride in pyridine.
Step VI is the catalytic reduction of the nitro group which is also attended by hydrogenolysis of the acetate group.
Step VII is the reaction of the aniline NH.sub.2 with a sulfonyl chloride in pyridine with or without an added cosolvent such as tetrahydrofuran.
CHART XII
Chart XII describes the preparation of compounds of the formula II.sub.1, wherein n is zero to four, inclusive.
Step I is the formation of the benzyl ester of an aminobenzoic or aminophenylalkanoic acid in a suitable solvent such as carbon tetrachloride at the reflux temperature of the mixture with removal of the water formed to produce the p-toluenesulfonate salt of the amino-benzyl ester.
In Step II said salt is neutralized with saturated aqueous NaHCO.sub.3. The resulting free base is treated to remove any residual water, e.g. by addition and evaporation of benzene and/or lyophilization, and the amine is reacted with the appropriate sulfonyl chloride by methods as described in Step I of Chart I.
Step III is the catalytic hydrogenolysis of the benzyl ester, e.g. with Pd/C catalyst in a suitable solvent such as ethanol to produce the corresponding acid.
For Step IV of Chart XII, see Step I of Chart III.

PREPARATION 1
Methanesulfonanilide, Chart I; Step I
A mechanically stirred solution of aniline (139.7 g, 1.5 mole) in pyridine (2 liters), under N.sub.2 is cooled in an icebath. Methanesulfonyl chloride (171.8 g, 1.5 mole) is added dropwise to this solution while the temperature is maintained at 15.degree.-20.degree. C., which results in a red-orange color change in the reaction mixture. After the addition is complete the ice bath is removed and the reaction is allowed to continue at ambient temperature. By TLC on silica gel (2.5% MeOH:CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2) the reaction is complete after 21/2 hours. The reaction mixture is concentrated in vacuo and the residue is combined with 700 ml of water which results in crystallization of a dark red material. This material is filtered and washed several times with water. The filtered material is dissolved in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, washed with brine, dried (Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4), and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is dissolved in hot ethyl acetate, treated with Darco (decolorizing carbon) and crystallized to yield four crops of methanesulfonanilide 157.37 g, 19.27 g, 26.55 g, 5.07 g which had a mp: 93.degree.-94.degree.

A mechanically stirred suspension of aluminum chloride (88.0 g, 0.66 moles) and 150 ml of carbon disulfide under N.sub.2 is cooled in an ice bath. Methanesulfonanilide as prepared in Preparation 1 (30.0 g, 0.175 mol) and succinic anhydride (17.5 g, 0.175 mol) are combined and added rapidly to the cooled reaction mixture. The ice bath is removed and the mixture is stirred at ambient temperature for 6 hours. The reaction mixture is then heated to 55.degree. C. and allowed to continue for 18 hours. The reaction mixture is separated into two layers the bottom of which solidifies. The upper layer is decanted and the remaining solid layer is decomposed with ice. The resulting suspension is filtered and the solid is washed several times with methylene chloride and dissolved in a mixture of saturated sodium bicarbonate (500 ml) and water (500 ml). This solution is acidified (pH2) with HCl and the resulting precipitate is collected by filtration, redissolved in NaHCO.sub.3 and reprecipitated with HCl. The solid, 4-[(methylsulfonyl)amino]-.gamma.-oxobenzenebutanoic acid, is collected by filtration and dried to give the title compound with mp 198.degree.-200.degree. C.

A stirred solution of 4-[(methylsulfonyl)amino]-.gamma.-oxobenzenebutanoic acid as prepared in Preparation 2 (12.0 g, 0.044 mol) in DMF (100 ml) under N.sub.2 is cooled in an ice bath to 5.degree. C. and treated with 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (5.94 g, 0.044 mol) and N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (9.08 g, 0.044 mol). After 1 hour, ethylheptylamine (6.3 g, 0.044 mol) is added; after an additional 30 minutes the ice bath is removed and the mixture is kept at ambient temperature for 18 hours. The reaction mixture is filtered over a Celite filter aid and the filtrate is concentrated under vacuum. The resulting material is dissolved in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 ; washed with dilute HCl, NaHCO.sub.3 and brine; dried (Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4) and concentrated. The residue is chromatographed over silica gel (1.25 kg) with 5% MeOH:1% NH.sub.4 OH:CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2. The N-ethyl-N-heptyl-.gamma.-oxo-4-[(methylsulfonyl)amino]benzenebutanamide thus obtained is crystallized from EtOAc:SSB to yield 10.77 g, mp 100.degree.-102.degree.

PREPARATION 4
4'-(2-Bromoacetyl)methanesulfonanilide, Chart I; Step II
Methanesulfonanilide as prepared in Preparation 1 (172.0 g, 1.0 mole), bromoacetylbromide (363.35 g, 1.8 mole), and 1 liter of carbon disulfide is combined under N.sub.2 with vigorous mechanical stirring. Anhydrous aluminum chloride (400.0 g, 3.0 mole) is added in portions to this mixture over 11/2 hour resulting in a deep red color and separation of the reaction mixture into two layers. Following the addition, the reaction is stirred at ambient temperature for 45 minutes and is then heated to reflux. After refluxing for 1 hour the oil bath is removed and the reaction is stirred at room temperature overnight. The two layers are allowed to separate and the upper layer is decanted. The viscous dark brown layer remaining is slowly poured over a mixture of crushed ice and 400 ml of concentrated HCl. This results in decomposition of the dark material with violent fuming, and yellow precipitate formation. The resulting precipitate is filtered then washed with H.sub.2 O, a small volume of EtOH, and ether. The remaining solid is crystallized from large volumes of CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 containing a small amount of MeOH to aid in solubility which yielded 3 crops of the title compound, m.p. 186.degree.-188.degree.

The reaction is then allowed to continue at ambient temperature for 18 hours, at which time the mixture is concentrated in vacuo. The residue is combined with dilute NaOH and extracted with ether. The resulting aqueous layer is acidified with dilute HCl (pH 4-5) and extracted with CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2. The combined organic extracts are washed with brine, dried (Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4) and concentrated in vacuo. The residue in EtOH is acidified with ethanolic HCl and the product is crystallized from EtOH:EtOAc to yield N-[4-[(ethylheptylamino)acetyl]phenyl]methanesulfonamide, monohydrochloride, m.p. 168.degree.-169.degree.

The mixture is stirred in the cold for 90 min and at room temperature for 1 hr. The mixture is cooled in an ice bath and treated with 0.66 ml H.sub.2 O dropwise (cautiously) then 0.66 ml of 15% NaOH dropwise and finally 2.0 ml of H.sub.2 O dropwise. The mixture is stirred in the cold for 15 min, the white solid filtered off, and the filter cake washed with THF (2.times.10 ml). The filtrate is concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound which is an oil. This material is used as an intermediate without further purification.
Step V
N-[3-[4-(Ethylheptylamino)butyl]phenyl]methanesulfonamide
The amine from Step IV (1.7 g, 0.00585 mol) is mixed with 4.6 ml of pyridine under nitrogen, the mixture cooled in an ice bath and treated dropwise, over 5 min, with 0.5 ml (0.74 g, 0.0064 mol) of methanesulfonyl chloride. The mixture is stirred in the cold for 1 hr and at room temperature overnight. The solvent is removed in vacuo as an azetrope with toluene. The residue is taken up in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 (75 ml), washed with 25 ml of 8% NaHCO.sub.3 and the aqueous wash extracted with CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 (2.times.75 ml). The organic pool is washed with brine, dried (Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4) and concentrated to give a dark oil. This material is chromatographed over 500 ml of silica gel (eluted with 0.4% NH.sub.4 OH-8% MeOH--CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2); 45 ml fractions are collected. The resulting material is further treated with cold, dilute NaOH to pH 12 and extracted with EtOAc (1.times.40 ml). The organic extract is washed with cold, dilute NaOH (2.times.5 ml) and the pooled aqueous wash extracted with EtOAc (2.times.25 ml) (each extract is washed with 5 ml of H.sub.2 O). The pooled EtOAc extract is dried (Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4) and concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound. The title compound is chromatographed over 50 ml of silica gel (eluted with 0.25% NH.sub.4 OH-10% MeOH--CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2) and 20 ml fractions collected.
