Some of the butyrophenone compounds [I] , i.e. those of the formula [IA: W = amino or N-monoalkylamino], are known [cf. Belgian Patents Nos. 753,472 and 763,838].
As the results of the extensive study, it has now been found that the butyrophenone compounds [I] can be advantageously produced by the use of the diflurobutyrophenone compounds [IIA]. It has also been found that the butyrophenone compounds [I'] and [II] exhibit a variety of beneficial pharmacological and biological activities and are useful as psychotropic, tranquilizing, analgesic, antispasmodic, autonomotropic, antiinflammatory and/or antifungal agents.
Accordingly, a basic object of the present invention is to provide novel processes for producing the known and new pharmacologically active butyrophenone compounds [I]. Another object of this invention is to provide the butyrophenone compounds [I'] and the difluorobutyrophenone compounds [II], which are per se useful as medicaments. A further object of the invention is to provide the difluorobutyrophenone compounds [IIA], which are useful as intermediates in the production of the butyrophenone compounds [I]. These and other objects of the invention will be apparent to those conversant with the art to which the present invention pertains from the foregoing and subsequent descriptions.
The production of the butyrophenone compounds [I] according to the present invention is shown in the following scheme: ##SPC14## wherein X and X' are each halogen and Ar, Z, W and Y are each as defined above.
The difluorobutyrophenone compound [IIA] can be prepared by reacting the compound [IIIA], which may be prepared by the reaction between m-difluorobenzene and a .gamma.-halobutyryl halide, with a secondary amine of the formula: H-Z (wherein Z is as defined above) in an inert solvent.
The reaction is favorably carried out in the presence of an acid binding agent such as an inorganic base (e.g. potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate) or a tertiary amine (e.g. pyridine, triethylamine, dimethylaniline). Examples of the inert solvent are an amide such as dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide and formamide, an aromatic hydrocarbon such as benzene, toluene and xylene, an alkanol such as ethanol, propanol and butanol, an alkanone such as acetone, 2-butanone and 4-methyl-2-pentanone. The reaction is usually accelerated by elevating the temperature. A small amount of a catalytic substance such as potassium iodide is also useful for acceleration of the reaction. The reaction is normally completed within a period of time from 1 to 48 hours, and a preferred reaction time is from 5 to 20 hours.
The difluorobutyrophenone compound [IIA] can be also prepared by ketalizing the compound [IIIA], reacting the resultant ketal compound [IIIB] with the secondary amine as above and then hydrolyzing the resulting akylated compound [IIB].
While the reaction between the ketal compound [IIIB] and the secondary amine may be carried out under the same condition as in the reaction between the compound [IIIA] and the secondary amine, the former can be usually conducted under a milder condition than the latter. For instance, the reaction can be accomplished at a temperature from 25.degree. to 100.degree.C within 3 hours.
The previous ketalization and the subsequent hydrolysis may be effected by per se conventional procedures. For instance, the ketalization is accomplished by treating the compound [IIIA] with a ketalizing agent such as ethylene glycol or ethylene dithioglycol in the presence of a dehydrative catalyst such as p-toluenesulfonic acid or conc. sulfuric acid, usually in an inert solvent (e.g. benzene, toluene, xylene) at an elevated temperature. Further, for instance, the hydrolysis is accomplished by treating the alkylated compound [IIB] with an acidic substance such as a mineral acid (e.g. hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid), an organic acid (e.g. oxalic acid, tartaric acid) or an acidic ion exchange resin in water or an alkanol (e.g. methanol, ethanol, propanol), usually under a mild condition, e.g. at room temperature.
The thus prepared difluorobutyrophenone compound [IIA] can be readily converted into its organic or inorganic acid addition salts by a per se conventional procedure.
Examples of the difluorobutyrophenone compound [IIA] are as follows:
.gamma.-(4-Phenylpiperidin-1-yl)-2,4-difluorobutyrophenone;
.gamma.-(4-Hydroxy-4-phenylpiperidin-1-yl)-2,4-difluorobutyrophenone;
.gamma.-[4-(4-Chlorophenyl)-4-hydroxypiperidin-1-yl]-2,4-difluorobutyrophenone;
.gamma.-[4-Hydroxy-4-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)piperidin-1-yl]-2,4-difluorobutyrophenone;

.gamma.-[4-(2-Oxo-1-benzimidazolinyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridin-1-yl]-2,4-difluorobutyrophenone;
.gamma.-(4-Oxo-1-phenyl-1,3,8-triazaspiro[4,5]decan-8-yl)-2,4-difluorobutyrophenone;
.gamma.-(4-Phenylpiperazin-1-yl)-2,4-difluorobutyrophenone;
.gamma.-[4-(2-Methoxyphenyl)piperazin-1-yl)]-2,4-difluorobutyrophenone;
.gamma.-(1,2,3,4-Tetrahydroisoquinolin-1-yl)-2,4-difluorobutyrophenone;
.gamma.-[4-(2-Methylphenyl)piperazin-1-yl]-2,4-difluorobutyrophenone;
.gamma.-[4-(4-Fluorophenyl)piperazin-1-yl]-2,4-difluorobutyrophenone, etc.
The difluorobutyrophenone compound [IIA] or its acid addition salt is reacted with an amine of the formula: H-W (wherein W is as defined above) to give the objective butyrophenone compound [I].
The reaction is usually carried out by treatment of the difluorobutyrophenone compound [IIA] or its acid addition salt with a not less than equimolar amount of the amine in the presence or absence of an inert solvent at room temperature or under heating.
As the result of the reaction, there are obtained the butyrophenone compounds [IA] and/or [IB]. By adoption of a suitable reaction condition, there is produced predominantly either one of the butyrophenone compounds [IA] and [IB]. Examples of the reaction conditions which may afford any influence on the selectivity of the product are such as kinds and properties of solvents and/or the amine employed, the presence or absence of solvents, the concentration of the amine, the reaction temperature and their combination. For instance, the use of a less polar solvent such as benzene, toluene, xylene, dioxane or carbon tetrachloride is favorable for the production of the butyrophenone compound [IA], while the use of a polar solvent such as water, formamide, dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, methanol or ethanol is preferred for the preparation of the butyrophenone compound [IB]. When the reaction is conducted in the absence of any solvent, the selectivity of the position to be substituted mainly depends on the kind of the amine employed. Thus, it is possible to yield selectively the butyrophenone compound [IA] or [IB] as a main product, often as a sole product.
The butyrophenone compounds [IA] and/or [IB] thus produced can be readily separated from the reaction mixture by a per se conventional procedure. When the product is a mixture of the butyrophenone compounds [IA] and [IB], each component can be isolated also by a conventional procedure such as recrystalization or column chromatography.
When the product is a butyrophenone compound of the formula: ##STR4## wherein Ar" represents a group of either one of the formulas: ##SPC15##
(wherein R.sup.11 and R.sup.12 are each as defined above but at least one of them represents an optionally substituted benzyl group) and Z is as defined above, i.e. either one of the compounds of the formulas: ##SPC16##
wherein R.sup.11 , R.sup.12 and Z are each as defined above, it can be converted into the corresponding debenzylated compound of the formula: ##STR5## wherein Ar'" represents a group of either one of the formulas: ##SPC17##
(wherein R.sup.13 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl, hydroxy-substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy-substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl, di(C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl)-amino-substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl or C.sub.3 -C.sub.7 cycloalkyl) and Z is as defined above, i.e. either one of the compounds of the formulas: ##SPC18##
wherein R.sup.13 and Z are each as defined above, by hydrogenating the former by a per se conventional procedure.
Thus, the hydrogenation may be conducted in the presence of a catalyst such as a metal (e.g. palladium, platinum, rhodium, nickel) or its oxide or hydroxide, optionally supported on a carrier in an inert solvent (e.g. water, methanol, ethanol, ether, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, benzene, toluene, xylene). A peferred catalyst is palladium on charcoal. A favorable solvent is an alkanol such as methanol, ethanol or propanol. The hydrogenation proceeds readily at room temperature under a hydrogen pressure of 1 to 5 atm., while a higher temperature and a higher pressure may be also adopted. The butyrophenone compound [IV] is usually subjected to hydrogenation in the form of the acid addition salt and, in case of the free base being used, the addition of an acid to the reaction system is desired.
The recovery of the butyrophenone compound [V] thus produced from the reaction mixture may be effected by a conventional procedure.
When the butyrophenone compound [I] (or the butyrophenone compound [V]) is obtained in the form of a free base, it may be converted into its acid addition salt by a conventional procedure. Examples of such acid addition salt include pharmaceutically acceptable ones such as hydrochloride, hydrobromide, sulfate, phosphate, sulfamate, citrate, oxalate, lactate, maleate, malate, succinate, tartrate, cinnamate, acetate, benzoate, gluconate, ascorbate, etc.

Preparation of the starting materials
A. To a mixture of aluminum chloride (340 g) and carbon disulfide (1 liter) were added 114 g of m-difluorobenzene under cooling. A solution of .gamma.-chlorobutyryl chloride (142.5 g) in carbon disulfide (200 ml) was then added dropwise to the reaction mixture at a temperature below 15.degree.C. The resulting mixture was gradually heated until refluxing occurred and then heated under continuous refluxing for 2 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture was poured into water (3 liters) and extracted with dichloromethane. The extract was washed with water, a diluted aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride in order, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated to give a residual oil. Vacuum distillation of the oil gave pure .gamma.-chloro-2,4-difluorobutyrophenone. B.P. 97.degree. - 111.degree.C (1.0 - 1.5 mmHg). n.sub.D.sup.26 1.507.
