Condensed diazepinones, processes for preparing them and agents containing these compounds for treating diseases of the central nervous system and for promoting cerebral blood circulation

The invention relates to new condensed diazepinones, processes for preparing them and agents containing these compounds for treating diseases of the central nervous system and for promoting cerebral blood flow.
Condensed diazepinones with anti-ulcerative properties and an inhibitory effect on gastric juice secretion are already known from EP-A-39519 and 57428 and from U.S. Pat. Nos. 3660380; 3,691,159; 4,213,984; 4,213,985; 4,210,648; 4,410,527; 4,424,225; 4,424,222 and 4,424,226.
With reference to condensed diazepinones, EP-A-156191 (U.S. Pat. No. 4,550,107) and EP-A-312895 describe how completely different pharmacological properties compared with the compounds of the above-mentioned publications, namely favourable effects on heart rate, can be induced by introducing alkylaminoacyl or dialkylaminoacyl groups. This is also true of the compounds of EP-A-213293, EP-A-254955, EP-A-273239, EP-A-306698, DE-A-3800986, DE-A-3802334, DE-A-3819444, DE-A-3820346 and DE-A-3820345. The compounds of these publications are suitable for use as vagal pacemakers for treating bradycardia and bradyarrhythmia in human and veterinary medicine on account of their favourable effects on hear rate and in the light of their lack of inhibitory effects on gastric juice secretion and salivation and their lack of mydriatic effects. EP-A2-402734 describes condensed diazepinones as agents for treating diseases of the central nervous system and for promoting cerebral blood flow. These agents are suitable for use in geriatrics and for treating migraine. A number of the compounds described therein demonstrate good CNS-availability and can therefore be used for treating diseases of the central nervous system, particularly Alzheimer's disease.
According to the structure-activity equations derived hitherto, the presence of a terminal basic N-atom in the side chain is found to be essential for muscarinic antagonists with a high M.sub.2 -selectivity (cf. U.S. Pat. No. 4,550,107, EP-A2-402734 and Engel et al. in J. Med. Chem. 32: 1718 (1989)).
Surprisingly, it has now been found that by acylating the terminal basic nitrogen atom of the side chain bound to the amino nitrogen of the diazepinone ring, M.sub.2 -selective muscarinic antagonists with a high affinity can be obtained.
The "carboxamides" according to the invention also demonstrate a substantially better M.sub.2 /M.sub.1 -ratio, compared with the M.sub.2 -selective antagonists described hitherto, i.e. the new compounds exhibit a substantially more favourable ratio of bonding affinity relative to M.sub.2 -receptors than to M.sub.1 -receptors.
In view of their M.sub.2 -selectivity the compounds according to the invention can be used for treating bradycardia and bradyarrhythmia in human and veterinary medicine. In the light of their favourable effects on cerebral blood flow the compounds are particularly suitable for use in geriatrics and for treating migraine. As has been found in animal experiments (on the rat) they increase the learning capacity of old animals.
The new condensed diazepinones according to the invention are highly lipophilic, in some cases, and therefore satisfy an essential prerequisite for good cerebro-availability. At the same time this high lipophilicity results in a rapid drop in the blood level, which means that there is no effect on heart rate. M.sub.2 -selective antagonists which have a favourable CNS-penetration and at the same time have an M.sub.2 /M.sub.1 -selectivity are particularly suitable for treating diseases of the central nervous system, especially Alzheimer's disease.
The condensed diazepinones according to the invention have the general formula I ##STR3## wherein B represents one of the divalent groups ##STR4## and X, l, m, n and R.sup.1 to R.sup.7 are defined as follows: X is a .dbd.CH-- group or, if B represents the divalent group (S), X may also represent a nitrogen atom;
l is an integer 1, 2 or 3;

R.sup.3 and R.sup.4, which may be identical or different, are hydrogen or halogen atoms or methyl, ethyl, methoxy or ethoxy groups;
R.sup.5 is a hydrogen or chlorine atom or a methyl group,
R.sub.6 and R.sup.7, which may be identical or different, represent hydrogen atoms or C.sub.1-3 alkyl groups, but R.sup.7 may additionally represent a halogen atom.
Preferred compounds of general formula I above are those wherein

Particularly preferred compounds are those wherein R.sup.1 represents an ethyl group.
Examples of branched alkyl or alkenyl groups include the 1-methyl-ethyl, 1,1-dimethyl-ethyl, 1,1-dimethyl-propyl, 1,1-dimethyl-butyl, 1,1,3-trimethyl-butyl, 1-ethyl-1-methyl-ethyl, 1-ethyl-1-methyl-propyl, 1-ethyl-1-methyl-butyl, 1-ethyl-1,3-dimethyl-butyl, 1-propyl-1-methyl-ethyl, 1-propyl-1-methyl-propyl, 1-propyl-1-methyl-butyl, 1-ethyl-ethyl, 1,1-diethyl-ethyl, 1,1-diethyl-propyl, 1,1-dimethyl-butyl and 1,1-dimethyl-but-3-enyl groups.
The invention also relates to the acid addition salts with inorganic or organic acids, e.g. with hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulphuric acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, malic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid.
According to the invention, the new acylated diazepinones of general formula I are obtained by the following methods:
a) by reacting base-substituted condensed diazepinones of general formula II ##STR5## wherein X, B, l, m, n and R.sup.1 are defined as hereinbefore, with carboxylic acids of general formula III ##STR6## wherein R.sup.2 is defined as hereinbefore, or with the reactive derivatives thereof.
Examples of reactive derivatives of a carboxylic acid or general formula III include the esters thereof such as the methyl, ethyl or benzylester, the thioesters such as the methylthio or ethylthioester, the halides such as the acid chloride, the anhydrides and imidazolides thereof.
The reaction is conveniently carried out in a solvent such as methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, ether, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, benzene, toluene, acetonitrile or dimethylformamide, optionally in the presence of an acid activating agent or a dehydrating agent, e.g. in the presence of ethylchloroformate, thionyl chloride, phosphorus trichloride, phosphorus pentoxide, N,N'-dicyclohexyl-carbodiimide, N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide/N-hydroxysuccinimide, N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole or N,N'-thionyldiimidazole or triphenylphosphine/carbon tetrachloride, and optionally in the presence of an inorganic base such as sodium carbonate or a tertiary organic base such as triethylamine or pyridine which may simultaneously be used as solvent, at temperatures between -25.degree. and 150.degree. C., but preferably at temperatures between -10.degree. C. and the boiling temperature of the solvent used. The reaction may also be carried out without a solvent and furthermore any water formed during the reaction may be separated off by azeotropic distillation, e.g. by heating with toluene using a water separator or by the addition of a drying agent such as magnesium sulphate or molecular sieve.
For example, the reaction may be carried out with an acid halide in inert solvents such as ether, toluene, methylene chloride and the like, at temperatures between -50.degree. C. and up to the boiling point of the reaction mixture, preferably between 0.degree. C. and 50.degree. C., and preferably in the presence of a hydrogen halide-binding agent, e.g. a tertiary amine, sodium carbonate or calcium carbonate. Not only the free amines of general formula II may be used but also the salts thereof from which the amines are liberated in situ by the auxiliary bases added.
The reactions may, for example, be carried out in the presence of imidazolides or carbodiimides in a high boiling solvent such as xylene at reflux temperature.
b) By acylating diazepinones of general formula IV ##STR7## wherein X and B are as hereinbefore defined, with carboxylic acid derivatives of general formula V ##STR8## wherein l , m, n, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are as hereinbefore defined and Nu represents a nucleofugic group or leaving group.
The reaction of the compounds of general formula IV with the acid derivatives of general formula V is carried out in a known manner. The leaving group Nu is a group which forms a reactive carboxylic acid derivative together with the carbonyl group to which it is bound. Examples of reactive carboxylic acid derivatives include acid halides, esters, anhydrides or mixed anhydrides such as are formed from salts of the corresponding acids (Nu.dbd.OH) and acid chlorides, such as phosphorus-oxychloride, diphosphoric acid tetrachloride or chloroformic acid esters or the N-alkyl-2-acyloxypyridinium salts formed when compounds of general formula V (Nu.dbd.OH) are reacted with N-alkyl-2-halopyridinium salts.
Preferably, the reaction is carried out with the mixed anhydrides of strong inorganic acids, particularly dichlorophosphoric acid. The reaction may optionally be carried out in he presence of an acid-binding agent (proton acceptor). Examples of suitable proton acceptors are alkali metal carbonates or hydrogen carbonates such as sodium carbonate or potassium hydrogen carbonate; tertiary organic amines such as pyridine, triethylamine, ethyl diisopropylamine, 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine or sodium hydride. The reaction is carried out at temperatures between -25.degree. C. and 130.degree. C. in an inert solvent. Examples of inert solvents include chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons such as methylene chloride, 1,2-dichloroethane; open-chained or cyclic ethers such as diethylether, tetrahydrofuran or 1,4-dioxane; aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, o-dichlorobenzene; polar aprotic solvents such as acetonitrile, dimethylformamide or hexamethyl-phosphoric acid triamide; or mixtures thereof. The reaction times range from 15 minutes to 80 hours, depending on the type and quantity of acylating agent of general formula V used. It is not necessary to prepare the compounds of general formula V in pure form; instead, they may be produced in situ in the reaction mixture in a known manner.
The bases of general formula I thus obtained may subsequently be converted into the acid addition salts thereof or, if acid addition salts are obtained, they may be converted into the free bases or other pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salts.
The new condensed diazepinones of general formula I according to the invention contain up to two independent chiral carbon atoms. The acylated tricyclic compound itself can be regarded as a further chiral element, which may occur in two mirror-symmetrical forms. The nature of the tricyclic compound determines whether the energy barrier for inversion at this centre is so high that the individual isomers are stable at room temperature and capable of being isolated. It has been found that, in compounds of general formula I wherein X is a nitrogen atom and the positions adjacent to the diazepinone ring are unsubstituted, the activating energy required is reduced to such an extent that diastereomers can no longer be detected, let alone preparatively isolated, at room temperature.
The new condensed diazepinones of general formula I according to the invention thus contain up to three chiral elements, one of which is not structurally stable at ambient temperature under certain circumstances. Compounds of this kind may therefore occur in numerous diastereomeric forms and/or as enantiomeric (+)- and (-)-forms. The invention includes the individual isomers as well as the mixtures thereof. The diastereomers can be separated on the basis of their different physico-chemical properties, e.g. by fractional recrystallisation from suitable solvents, by high pressure liquid chromatography, column chromatography or gas chromatography.
Any racemates of the compounds of general formula I may be cleaved by known methods, for example using an optically active acid such as (-)- or (-)-tartaric acid or a derivative thereof such as (+)- or (-)-diacetyltartaric acid, (+)- or (-)-monomethyltartrate or (+)-campborsulphonic acid.
According to a conventional method of enantiomer separation, the racemate of a compound of general formula I is reacted with one of the above-mentioned optically active acids in equimolar amounts in a solvent and the crystalline diastereomeric salts obtained are separated on the basis of their different solubilities. This reaction may be carried out in any kind of solvent provided that it shows a sufficiently great difference in the solubilities of the salts. It is preferable to use methanol, ethanol or mixtures thereof, e.g. in a ratio by volume of 50:50. Then each of the optically active salts is dissolved in water, neutralised with a base such as sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate and in this way the corresponding free compound is obtained in the (+)- or (-)-form.
Only one enantiomer or a mixture of two optically active diastereomeric compounds of general formula I is obtained if the methods of synthesis described above are carried out with only one corresponding enantiomer.
A starting compound of general formula II may be prepared as follows, for example:
an (aminoalkyl)pyridine of general formula VI ##STR9## wherein n and R.sup.1 are as hereinbefore defined (compounds of this kind are known from the literature and can, in some cases, be obtained commercially) is tert.-butoxycarbonylated in a known manner, thus forming compounds of general formula VII: ##STR10##
Catalytic hydrogenation of these compounds by known methods, e.g. in ethanolic-hydrochloric acid solution and using platinum (IV)-oxide as catalyst (of. F. F. Blicke et al., J. Org. Chemistry 26: 3258 (1961)) or in glacial acetic acid in the presence of platinum (IV)-oxide (of. W. F. Minor et al., J. Med. Pharm. Chem. 5: 96, 105ff (1962) and A. H. Sommers et al., J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 75: 57, 58ff (1953)) yields compounds of general formula VIII: ##STR11## a compound of this kind is subsequently reacted with a haloacyl compound of general formula IX ##STR12## wherein X, B and m are defined as hereinbefore and Hal represents a chlorine, bromine or iodine atom.
This amination is effected in an inert solvent at temperatures between -10.degree. C. and the boiling temperature of the solvent, preferably either with at least 2 moles of secondary amine of general formula VIII or with 1 to 2 moles of the secondary amine of general formula VIII and an auxiliary base. Examples of solvents include chlorinated hydrocarbons such as methylene chloride, chloroform or dichloroethane; open-chained or cyclic ethers, such as diethylether, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane; aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, chlorobenzene or pyridine; alcohols such as ethanol or isopropanol; ketones such as acetone; acetonitrile, dimethylformamide or 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone. Examples of auxiliary bases include tertiary organic bases such as triethylamine, N-methylpiperidine, diethylaniline, pyridine and 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine or inorganic bases such as alkali metal or alkaline earth metal carbonates or hydrogen carbonates, hydroxides or oxides. If desired, the reaction may be accelerated by the addition of alkali metal iodides.
In this way, a compound of general formula X ##STR13## is obtained wherein the groups D, X, R.sup.1 and m and n are as hereinbefore defined and from which the tert.-butoxycarbonyl group is cleaved in a known manner, e.g. using hydrobromic acid in glacial acetic acid, thereby forming a compound of general formula II.
The activated carboxylic acids of formula III are expediently obtained in the reaction mixture by methods known from the literature.
The diazepinones of general formula IV are known from the literature (of. EP-A-39519; EP-A-57428; DE-C-1179943 and 1204680; F. Hunzicker et al., Arzneim.-Forsch. 13: 324 (1965)).
The carboxylic acid derivatives of general formula V wherein Nu represents an alkoxy group are obtained by reacting substituted piperidines of general formula VIII with corresponding haloalkanoic acid esters, optionally using additional auxiliary bases, e.g. triethylamine, or catalysts, e.g. Triton B. By saponifying the resulting esters, e.g. using barium hydroxide solution, the carboxylic acids of general formula V wherein Nu represents a hydroxy group are obtained. The carboxylic acids obtained in this way then serve as starting substances for preparing derivatives with other nucleofugic groups, e.g. the acid halides of formula V.
The invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions which contain one or more condensed diazepinones of general formula I or the physiologically acceptable salts thereof.
For this purpose, the compounds of general formula I may be incorporated in conventional pharmaceutical preparations in known manner, e.g. in solutions, suppositories, plain or coated tablets, capsules or infusions. The daily dose is generally between 0.02 and 5 mg/kg, preferably between 0.02 and 2.5 mg/kg, more particularly 0.05 and 1.0 mg/kg of body weight, administered optionally in the form of several, preferably 1 to 3, single doses, in order to achieve the desired results.
As already mentioned hereinbefore, the base-substituted condensed diazepinones of general formula I and the acid addition salts thereof have valuable properties; thus, they have favourable selectivity for cardiac M.sub.2 -receptors and can therefore be used as vagal pacemakers for treating bradycardia and bradyarrhythmia in both human and veterinary medicine.
It is known from investigations made by van Charldorp and van Zwieten (of. K. J. van Charldorp, Dissertation "Characterisation of Muscarinic Receptors in the Vascular System", Amsterdam 1988; K. J. van Charldorp, D. Davidesko and P. A. van Zwieten, Eur. J. Pharmacol. 150: 197-199 (1988); K. J. van Charldorp and P. A. van Zwieten, Naunyn Schmiedeberg's Arch. Pharmacol. 339: 403-408 (1989)) that the muscarinic receptors in the basilar arteries which are responsible for contraction of the blood vessels are of the M.sub.2 -type. It can therefor be expected that M.sub.2 -antagonists will relax the cerebral blood vessel and thereby increase blood flow.
Inhibition of the muscarinic receptors detectable in the cerebral blood vessels thus results in a prevention of constriction and an improvement or normalisation of the arteriosclerotically-induced disorders of cerebral blood flow. The new compounds according to the invention are particularly suitable for improving or normalising arteriosclerotically induced disorders of cerebral blood flow.
A number of compounds of general formula I exhibit good CNS-availability, owing to their high lipophilicity, and are therefore additionally suitable for the treatment of disease of the central nervous system, particularly Alzheimer's disease. In senile dementia of the Alzheimer's type, the degeneration of cholinergic neurones, particularly in hippocampal and cortical projections, leads to a reduced release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. The blockade of the presynaptic autoreceptors then interrupts the negative feedback mechanism which the neurotransmitter exerts on the still intact neurones and thereby brings about an increased release of acetylcholine and, consequently, stimulation of the post-synaptic receptors (D. C. Mash, D. L. Flynn and L. T. Potter, Science 228: 115-117 (1985); E. K. Perry et. al., Can. J. Neurol. Sci. 13: 521-527 (1986); M. Sarter et. al., TINS 11: 13-17 (1988)). The compounds are therefore suitable for use in geriatrics and significantly improve learning capacity and capacity for attention.
In order to demonstrate the favourable effects on cerebral blood flow the following trials were carried out:
A Studies of Binding to Muscarinic Receptors
Male Wistar rats (Chbb: THOM strain, 180-220 g body weight) were killed by a blow to the back of the neck. The cerebral cortex, heart and salivary glands were removed, washed and homogenised in a 20-fold volume of HEPES-buffer (20 mM 4-(2hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazino-ethanesulphonic acid, 100 mM sodium chloride, 10 mM magnesium chloride, pH 7.5) using an Ultra-Turrax apparatus at a maximum speed of rotation of 60 s. The homogenised matter was diluted to 1:500, based on the original quantity of tissue. For the binding test, 1 nM of [.sup.3 H]pirenzepine (3.22 TBq/mmol) which binds to M.sub.1 -receptors of the cortex and 0.3 nM of [.sup.3 H]NMS (.sup.3 H-N-methylscopolamine) (2.64 TBq/mmol) for binding to the heart and salivary glands was incubated at ambient temperature, for [.sup.3 H]pirenzepine for 90 minutes, for [.sup.3 H]NMS for 40 minutes, in each case with 0.35, 0.30 and 0.20 mg of protein per sample (0.5 ml) for heart, salivary gland and cortex. The protein concentration was determined by the method of Lowry et al. (J. Biol. Chem. 93: 265). Incubation was ended by rapid filtration through a glass fibre filter mat an using a Skatron Cell Harvester. After washing twice (for 10 seconds with about 3 ml of liquid) the filters were dried in the air, packed into mini vials, shaken overnight with 4 ml of scintillation liquid and the scintillation was counted with an efficiency of 45-50% using a Packard 460C apparatus. All the tests were carried out three times. The non-specific binding was defined as the radioactivity in the presence of 1 .mu.M of (-)-3-quinuclidinyl-benzylate. The binding data were analysed by a computer-aided non-linear least square curve fitting method (Heinzel, G. 1982, in: Pharmacokinetics during Drug Development: Data Analysis and Evaluation Techniques, eds. G. Bozler and J. M. van Rossum (Gustav-Springer-Verlag), page 207). The dissociation constants Ki were calculated from the IC.sub.50 values according to Cheny and Prusoff (Biochem. Pharmacol. 22: 3099 (1973)). The results are shown in Table 1.
B Investigation for Central Activity
Principle:
Arecoline has both a central and a peripherally active component. The peripheral (hypotensive) effects are blocked by N-methylscopolamine so that only the central (hypertensive) effect of arecoline occurs. Cerebroavailable antimuscarinics block this central effect.
Method:
Male rats weighing 300 g are anaesthetised i.p. with urethane (1.2 g/kg). The trachea is incubated, the animals are respirated with an air/oxygen mixture (80 breaths per minute). The blood pressure is recorded after canulation of the carotid artery by means of a pressure recorder (Bell and Howell Type 4-327-I). The test substances are administered through the jugular vein (0.5 mol/kg). Before the start of the trial the animals are given 0.5 mg/kg of N-methyl-scopolamine. The arecoline is administered (in doses of 0.3 mg/kg) at 15 minute intervals. After 2 comparison values, the test substance is injected in increasing doses 5 minutes before the next administration of arecoline.
The results obtained were compared with the average starting values and determined as the percentage inhibition. Table 2 contains the values found in the arecoline test.
C Effect on the Memory in the Morris Water Maze
The tests were carried out using the water maze described by R. G. M. Morris in Learn Motive 12: 239-249 (1981) using the test method described therein.
On the first day, rats which were 24 months old and therefore learning-impaired (n=7 per group) were given 0.2 mg/kg of compound D by subcutaneous route whilst another group of these animals were given physiological saline solution (s.c.). The groups were observed in the Morris water maze for 4 days.
As is apparent from the path of the curves shown in FIG. 1, administration of compound D results in an improved memory performance compared with the animals which were learning-impaired on account of their age and were treated only with physiological saline solution. Thus, for example, on the second day the latency period was reduced by approximately 50%. On the fourth day the animals treated with substance D reached the same level as the control groups of young rats (n=7 per group) which were treated only with physiological saline solution. This effect of the M.sub.2 -antagonists according to the invention is surprising because, after administration of the M.sub.1 -selective antagonist pirenzepine, a deterioration in learning ability and memory performance was observed (A. J. Hunter and F. F. Roberts, Pharmacol. Biochem. and Behavior Vol. 30: 519-523 (1988), Title: "The effects of pirenzepine on spatial learning in the Morris Water Maze"). Similar negative observations after the administration of non-selective substances such as scopolamine or atropine are also reported by A. J. Hunter, F. F. Roberts and C. A. Tutty in Br. J. Pharmacol. 87: 41P (1986); R. J. Sutherland, I. Q. Wishaw and J. C. Regehr, J. Comp. Physiol. Psychol. 96: 563-573 (1982) and I. Q. Wishaw, Behav. Neurosci. 99: 979-1005 (1985).

As is shown in Table 1, the specified compounds A to G exhibit excellent M.sub.1 /M.sub.2 -selectivity in the range from 10-35. This ratio demonstrates that the compounds specified are highly M.sub.2 -selective and are therefore capable of blocking presynaptic M.sub.2 -receptors in the brain, at a dosage at which M.sub.1 -receptors are unaffected. By contrast, the comparison substances H to S show only moderately marked M.sub.1 /M.sub.2 -selectivities with a selectivity ratio <6.6. A comparison of these selectivity values shows that the new diazepinones of general formula I are far superior to the comparison substances.
An essential prerequisite for the suitability of the compounds for treating CNS-diseases is the cerebro-availability of the substances. The test model described above for demonstrating CNS-penetration clearly shows (see Table 2) that substances A to G are capable of inhibiting the arecoline-mediated central effects. This finding can only be explained on the basis of good CNS-availability. By contrast, the comparison substances H, K, L and O tested with ED.sub.50 values greater than 10 mg/kg (i.v.) had no effect on the increase in blood pressure caused by arecoline. This clearly demonstrates that these compounds have substantially worse penetration into the central nervous system.

1.48 g (0.01 mol) of 2,2-dimethylbutyric acid chloride dissolved in 20 ml of tetrahydrofuran are added dropwise, with stirring, at ambient temperature, to a solution of 4.2 g (0.01 mol) of 5,11-dihydro-11-[[4-[3-(ethylamino)propyl]-1-piperidinyl]acetyl]-6H-pyrido-[2,3-b][1,4]benzodiazepin-6-one and 2 ml of triethylamine in 150 ml of tetrahydrofuran. In order to complete the reaction the solution is stirred for a further hour at 50.degree. C. After cooling, the precipitated triethylamine hydrochloride is filtered off and the filtrate is evaporated to dryness using a rotary evaporator in a water jet vacuum. In order to purify it the residue is dissolved in ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate solution is extracted twice with 10% hydrochloric acid, the organic phase is separated off and the aqueous phase is made alkaline by the addition of concentrated ammonia. Then the aqueous phase is extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The organic phase is dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated to dryness in vacuo. The residue obtained is crystallised by digesting it in ethyl acetate. Colourless crystals are obtained of m.p. 136.degree.-138.degree. C.
