Aryl substituted bicyclic amines as selective dopamine D3 ligands

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The subject invention is directed toward aryl substituted cyclic amines for the treatment of CNS diseases such as schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease, tardive dyskinesia, obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, and anxiety that preferentially bind to the dopamine D3 receptor. The dopamine D3 receptor was recently cloned by Sokoloff et al. (Nature, 347, 146 (1990)). It was hypothesized that this receptor subtype is of importance for the action of anti-psychotics. Interestingly, this receptor shows a relatively high abundance in brain regions associated with emotional and cognitive functions.
Compounds with this profile may be useful in treating CNS disorders, e.g. schizophrenia, mania, depression, geriatric disorders, drug abuse and addiction, Parkinson's disease, anxiety disorders, sleep disorders, circadian rhythm disorders and dementia.

Chemical Synthesis
Scheme 1 and Scheme 2: (Formula I Analogs)
The N-carbomethoxy anhydride prepared from D-aspartic acid (1, Scheme 1) underwent an aluminum chloride mediated Friedel-Crafts reaction with bromobenzene to afford ketone 2. This ketone underwent reduction of the ketone group with triethylsilane catalyzed by titanium tetrachloride, to give 3. This carboxylic acid was converted to the acid chloride which then underwent an aluminum chloride catalyzed Friedel-Crafts cyclization to obtain tetralone 4. This ketone was reduced with triethylsilane, catalyzed by titanium tetrachloride, to give tetralin 5. The carbamate group was saponified with hydroxide to give 7-bromo-2-aminotetralin 6, which was then alkylated to give 7. Treatment of this aryl bromide with t-butyllithium followed by trimethylsilylisocyanate (Tetrahed. Lett. 1975, 981), followed by aqueous hydrolysis, gave carboxamide 8. Refluxing this carboxamide in THF with borane resulted in reduction to primary amine 9. This amine (9) was treated with various sulfonyl chlorides (Procedure 9) to obtain sulfonamides 10-15.
Sulfonamide 11 was further transformed to 16 (Scheme 2) by hydrolysis of the nitrile with hydrogen peroxide to obtain carboxamide 16 (Tetrahed. Lett. 1989, 949).
Primary amine 9 was also converted into carboxamides 17 and 18 using the appropriate carboxylic acid chloride (Scheme 2).
Aryl bromide 7 was treated with t-butyllithium, followed by diphenylphosphorylazide, and then by sodium bis(2-methoxyethoxy)aluminum hydride (Scheme 2) to afford amine 19 (Tetrahed. Lett. 1984, 429). This amine was treated with sulfonyl chlorides to obtain sulfonamides 20 and 21.
Scheme 3: (Formula I Analogs)
Aminotetralin 22 (J. Org. Chem. 1995, 4324) was protected with a BOC-group and then subjected to metal-halogen exchange with t-butyllithium, followed by DMF quench to obtain an aldehyde. This aldehyde was reduced with sodium borohydride to obtain a benzylic alcohol. This was treated with thionyl chloride to obtain the benzylic chloride, which in turn was converted into the benzylic azide with sodium azide. Pd/C catalyzed hydrogenation of the azide afforded benzylic amine 24. This amine was condensed with various aryl sulfonyl chlorides to obtain the sulfonamides. These were treated with trifluoroacetic acid to remove the BOC-protecting groups (procedure 16), affording sulfonamide compounds 25-26. These were alkylated with bromopropane (procedure 17) to obtain the tertiary amine sulfonamides represented by 27.
Amine 24 was also condensed with aryl carboxylic acid chlorides to generate amides, which were then deprotected with trifluoroacetic acid to obtain amides 28-29. These amides (28-29) were heated with bromopropane (procedure 17) to generate the tertiary amine analogs, represented by 30.
Amine 24 was also condensed with aryl isocyanates to obtain ureas. These were deprotected with trifluoroacetic acid to generate ureas 31-33.
Scheme 4: (Formula I Analogs)
Diyne acid 34 (J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. I, 1215-1224 (1986)) was induced to undergo a Curtius rearrangement with diphenylphosphoryl azide, trapping the isocyanate intermediate with t-butanol to obtain the BOC-protected product. The BOO-group was cleaved with trifluoroacetic acid to afford the primary amine, which was then treated with trifluoroacetic anhydride to obtain 35. This diyne (35) was treated with Wilkinson's catalyst and the 1,4-diacetoxy-2-butyne to afford 36 (Tetrahed. Lett., 34, 23-26 (1993)). The acetates and trifluoroacetyl group were cleaved with base and the product alkylated with n-bromopropane to afford 37. This diol was treated with allylamine to give the 5-membered amine ring; subsequently the allyl group was removed with palladium catalysis to afford 38. Amine 38 was condensed with various arylsulfonyl chlorides (procedure 9) to afford sulfonamides 39-46.
Scheme 5: (Formula II Analogs)
Pyridone 47 (J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. 1990, 195) was hydrolyzed (Scheme 5) with aqueous perchloric acid at 95.degree. C. to obtain ketone 48. This ketone underwent reductive amination with n-propylamine using 50 p.s.i. hydrogenation gas and acetic acid and platinum oxide in ethanol. The propyl-substituted amine (49) was obtained in good yield. Treatment with di-t-butyl dicarbonate in THF afforded the BOC-protected compound (50). This was condensed with 4-chlorobenzenesulfonyl chloride in the presence of DMAP and triethylamine to give sulfonyloxy substituted pyridine 51. Deprotection of the BOC group with trifluoroacetic acid at 25.degree. C. gave amine 52 after workup. This could be converted to the dipropylamine analog (53) by heating with n-bromopropane in acetonitrile in the presence of potassium carbonate.
Scheme 6: (Formula II Analogs)
Diyne 54, whose preparation is already described, was treated with N-benzyloxy-2-aminoacetonitile under the influence of cobalt catalysis (J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Comm., 133-134 (1982)) to obtain heterocycle 55. The BOC-group was removed with trifluoroacetic acid and the amine was alkylated with n-bromopropane to afford 56. The CBZ-group was removed by palladium catalyzed hydrogenation to afford amine 57. This amine was treated with aryl sulfonyl chlorides (procedure 9) to obtain sulfonamides represented by 58-59.
Amine 57 was also treated with arylcarboxylic acid chlorides (procedure 11) to obtain amides represented by 60.
Amine 57 was also treated with aryl isocyanates (procedure 33) to obtain ureas represented by 61-62.
Scheme 7: (Formula III Analogs)
Ketone 63 (Helv. Chim. Acta 1994 1256) underwent reductive amination with sodium cyanoborohydride in the presence of acetic acid and propanal to afford 64. This amine was protected with a BOC-group and the compound was treated with n-butyllithium at low temperature followed by a quench with dimethylformamide to afford aldehyde 65. This aldehyde was condensed with hydroxylamine hydrochloride to obtain 66. Oxime 66 was reduced with Devarda's alloy (alloy of 50% copper, 45% aluminum, 5% zinc) to obtain amine 67. This amine was treated with 4-chlorophenylisocyanate to obtain urea 68.
Scheme 8: (Formula I Analogs)
The hydroxy,triflate 69 (Patent 4714) was alkylated with various alkyl halides using sodium hydride in DMF to afford the intermediates 70-73 (procedure 38). These triflate intermediates were converted via carbonylation using palladium acetate and 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphinopropane) under carbon monoxide atmosphere (procedure 39) to yield the methyl ester intermediates 74-77. These methyl esters intermediates were converted to either the primary carboxamide products 78-81 using formamide and sodium methoxide (procedure 40) or converted to the alkylcarboxamide products 82-84 using appropriate substituted formamides and sodium methoxide (procedure 41). The primary carboxamide 81 was further elaborated using sodium hydride and an alkyl halide (procedure 42) to the alkylcarboxamide product 85.
The hydroxy, ester 86 (patent 4714) was converted to the carboxamide 87 using sodium methoxide and formamide (procedure 43) followed by alkylation using potassium carbonate and alkyl halides (procedure 44) to give 88-90.
Scheme 9: (Formula I Analogs)
The dimethylester 91 (patent 4714) was hydroylzed to the dicarboxylic acid 92 using aqueous NaOH/MeOH (procedure 45). This diacid was then condensed and cyclized with ammonium acetate and HCl in acetic acid to give 93 (procedure 46) or alternatively condensed with various amines in acetic acid to give 95-124 (procedure 49). The products 93, 95-124 were reduced to the corresponding lactam derivatives 94, 125-133 with zinc/acetic acid (procedure 47). The intermediates 93 and 94 were also alkylated with various substituted halides to give 95-124 and 125-133 (procedure 48 and 50).
Scheme 10: (Formula I Analogs)
The dicarboxylic acid 92 was condensed with various hydrazines in acetic acid to give 134-135 (procedure 51).

The following procedures 1-9 from Scheme 1 are useful in the preparation of the Examples 1-6 of this invention (with the exception of Example 5 which was inactive in the dopamine screen).
Procedure 1: (R)-4-Bromo-.alpha.-[(methoxycarbonyl)amino]-.gamma.-oxobenzenebutanoic acid. 2
A mixture of bromobenzene (373 g) and (R)-2-carbomethoxyaminosuccinic anhydride (1) (90.51 g) in dichloromethane (260 ml) was cooled in ice, and aluminum chloride (174.34 g) was added over 1 minute (exothermic!). The dark red mixture was stirred at 0.degree. C. for 30 minutes and at room temperature for 1 hour. The mixture was poured onto crushed ice, and concentrated hydrochloric acid was added slowly with stirring. Diethylether was added and the mixture was stirred until all of the red-brown material disappeared. The layers were separated, and the aqueous was extracted twice more with diethylether. The combined ether extracts were washed with water and extracted with aqueous sodium carbonate. The combined extracts were washed with diethylether, cooled in ice, and acidified with conc. hydrochloric acid. The acid was extracted 3 times with diethylether. The combined extracts were washed with brine and dried (MgSO.sub.4). The solvent was removed under vacuum to leave the title compound as a foam, 149.6 g. [.alpha.].sub.D =-41.degree. (25.degree.
