Derivatives of cyclohexane

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to novel derivatives of cyclohexane and compositions containing the same.
2. Background of the Prior Art
The family of isomeric hexahydroxy derivatives of cyclohexane are known as inositols. There exist nine different isomers and one of these, myo-inositol, is of biological importance. Chiro-inositols and scyllo-inositols are also of natural occurrence, but nothing is known of their biological role.
Myo-inositol is an essential nutrient for microorganisms and under special dietary condition for different animals.
There are some known derivatives of myo-inositol, such as phosphates and phospholipids.
Myo-inositol is found in plants principally as its hexaphosphate-ester, called phytic acid. It is further known that derivatives with a lower number of phosphate groups are formed during germination. The final products of the germination are myoinositol and inorganic phosphate.
One specific isomer of myo-inositoltriphosphate i.e. D-myo-inositol-1.4.5-triphosphate has been reported in Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 120.2 (1984) p. 481. This compound is known as an intracellular calcium mobilizer in mammalian cells.
Other specific isomers of myo-inositoltriphosphate have been disclosed in the Swedish patent application No. 8504968-2.
Phospholipids are components of cell membranes. One type of phospholipis is the phosphoinositides in which myo-inositol is covalently linked to derivatives of glycerol.
Some methyl ethers of myo-inositol occur in plants. The most common one is the 5-methyl ether called seqnoyitol.

The above mentioned radicals are unsubstituted or substituted.
The substitution could consist of free functional groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl, mercapto or amino or these groups could be present in protected form.
Thus, carboxyl groups are usually protected in esterified form and contain as esterifying groups especially lower alkyl groups, which could be branched in the 1-position or suitably substituted in the 1- or 2-position. Preferred carboxyl groups protected in esterified form are inter alia methoxycarbonyl, butoxycarbonyl, tert. alkoxycarbonyl, for example tert. butoxycarbonyl, arylmethoxycarbonyl having one or two aryl radicals, these being especially phenyl radicals optionally substituted for example by lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, hydroxy, halogen and/or nitro, such as benzyloxycarbonyl, methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl, diphenylmethoxycarbonyl, 2-bromoethoxycarbonyl or 2-iodoethoxycarbonyl. Further preferred protected carboxyl groups in esterified form are silyloxycarbonyl groups, especially organic silyloxycarbonyl groups. In these the silicon atom contains as substituent preferably lower alkyl, especially methyl, also alkoxy, especially methoxy and/or halogen, for example chlorine. Suitable silyl-protecting groups are for example trimethylsilyl and dimethyl-tert.-butylsilyl.
A protected amino group may be, for example, in the form of an acylaminogroup or in the form of arylalkylamino group or azido group or sulphonated amino group. In a corresponding acylamino group acyl is for example the acyl radical of an organic carboxylic acid having for example up to 18 carbon atoms, especially of an alkanecarboxylic acid that is preferably substituted for example by halogen or aryl or of a carbonic acid semiester.
Such acyl groups are for example lower alkanoyl such as formyl or acetyl; halo-lower alkanoyl such as 2-chloro-and 2-bromoacetyl or lower alkoxycarbonyl straight or branched in the 1-position of the lower alkyl radical or suitably substituted in the 1- or 2-position, for example tert. butyl carbonyl; arylmethoxycarbonyl having one or two aryl radicals that are unsubstituted or, in the case of phenyl, may be substituted for example by lower alkyl, especially tert. lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, hydroxy, halogen and/or nitro; such as unsubstituted or substituted aryloxycarbonyl, for example benzyloxycarbonyl or 4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl or diphenylmethoxycarbonyl, for example benzhydroxycarbonyl or di-(4-methoxyphenyl)-methoxycarbonyl; aroylmethoxycarbonyl for example phenacyloxycarbonyl in which the aroyl group is benzoyl that is unsubstituted or substituted for example by halogen; halo-lower alkoxycarbonyl, for example 2-bromo- or 2-iodoethoxycarbonyl; or 2-(trisubstituted silyl)-ethoxycarbonyl such as for example 2-trimethylsilylethoxycarbonyl or 2-triphenylsilylethoxycarbonyl.

Other protected amino groups are sulphonated amino groups such as lower alkyl sulphonamides especially N-methyl sulphonamide and N-butylsulphonamide.
Hydroxy- and mercapto-protecting groups are for example acyl radicals such as lower alkanoyl that is unsubstituted or substituted, for example by halogen, such as 2.2-dichloroacetyl or especially the acyl radicals of carbonic acid semiesters mentioned in connection with the amino-protecting groups and also etherifying groups such as tert.-butyl or 2-oxa- or 2-thia-aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals, for example 1-methoxyethyl, 1-methyl-thiomethyl or 2-oxa- or 2-thia-cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon radicals, for example 2-tetrahydrofuryl or 2-tetrahydropyranyl or corresponding thia analogues and unsubstituted or substituted benzyl, diphenylmethyl there coming into consideration as substituents of the phenyl radicals, for example halogen, lower alkoxy and/or nitro.
Hydroxy and mercapto groups may also be protected in the form of corresponding organic silyloxy or silylthio groups. Suitable silyl protecting groups are especially lower alkylsilyl such as trimethylsilyl or dimethyl-tert.-butyl-silyl.

Thus, for example hydroxy groups may be substituted by a methylene radical that is unsubstituted or preferably substituted for example by lower alkyl, such as methyl or aryl, such as phenyl or such as methylene, isopropylidene, propylidene or benzylidene.
The substitutions on the radical A could also consist of a halogen especially fluorine, chlorine and iodine and further by a cyano group.
