ALTERNATIVE METHODS FOR PREPARING NAPHTHYL AND BENZOSUBERANYL DERIVATIVES
1,2,3,4,5,8-hexahydronaphthalenes of structures XX A and XX B ##STR48## may be prepared from tetralones in several ways known to the art. Reaction of .alpha.-tetralone with an aminoalkyl Grignard reagent followed by Birch reduction of the intermediate amino alcohol yields XX A directly.
2-Substituted compounds (namely XX B) can be prepared from .beta.-tetralone by removing the alcohol group by treatment with acidic reagents such as hydrochloric acid in acetic acid before the Birch reduction. Another method involves reaction of tetralones with a Wittig-type ylid to give side-chain nitriles which are reduced to primary amines and then substituted by well-known procedures to secondary or tertiary amines. A third process involves the Mannich bases derived from tetralones (i.e. reduction with LiAlH.sub.4 followed by Birch reduction yields XX B n'=1). Alternatively quaternization followed by reaction with potassium cyanide or ethyl cyanacetate in the presence of base yields intermediates easily convertible to dihydronaphthalenes containing side-chain amines (i.e. XX A or XX B where n'=2 or 3 respectively). These are subjected to Birch reduction as above to yield hexahydronaphthalenes.
1,4,6,7,8,9-Hexahydro-5H-benzocycloheptenes of structures XX C, XX D and XX E ##STR49## may be prepared from the corresponding tetrahydro-5,6, or 7-H-benzocyclohepten-5,6, or 7-ones in several ways known in the art starting with the ketone shown below. ##STR50## Reaction of the ketones with an aminoalkyl Grignard reagent followed, if necessary, by dehydration, and reduction provides the corresponding aminoalkyl 6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzocycloheptene which is then subjected to a Birch reduction as described before. The starting ketones may also be reacted with a Wittig type ylid to produce side-chain nitriles which are reduced to primary amines and can then be substituted by standard procedures to secondary or tertiary amines before Birch reduction. Conversion of the starting ketones to oximes followed by reduction provides the corresponding primary amines where n=0 which then are reduced as above to the required dienes.

EXAMPLE 1
1-[3-(4,7-Dihydro-1-indanyl)propyl]piperidine hydrobromide
Crude 1-[3-(4,7-dihydro-1-indanyl)propyl]piperidine is prepared in 99% yield by the Birch reduction of 1-[3-(3-indenyl)propyl]piperidine as follows:
A solution of 13.5g. (0.056M) 1-[3-(3-indenyl)propyl]piperidine in 100 ml. ether is added to 1 l. liquid ammonia and 100 ml. ether. Lithium ribbon (20.0 g., 2.85 M) is added in several portions over a period of 15 minutes while stirring. The mixture which is a greenish-bronze is stirred for 11/2 hours and absolute ethanol is added dropwise until the color is discharged.
After the ammonia has evaporated, the residue is diluted to 1500 ml. with water and extracted two times with ether. The ether extracts are dried over potassium carbonate and the solvent is removed in vacuo leaving 13.9g. (100% yield) of diene identified as 1-[3-(4,7-dihydro-1-indanyl)propyl]piperidine.
A 5.0 g. sample of the diene is converted to the hydrobromide by dropwise addition of a hydrobromic acid solution to a solution of the diene until a pH of 4 is reached (pH meter). Removal of the solvent and crystallization of the crude yellow solid from ethanol-ether gives 3.8 g. (56%) of crystalline hydrobromide. One more recrystallization from the same solvent mixture yields 2.4 g. (35%) 1-[3-(4,7-dihydro-1-indanyl)propyl]piperidine hydrobromide, dec. 188.degree.-196.degree. C.

The above compound is prepared as described by Howell & Taylor, J.C.S., 1957, 3013. To butyl-lithium, prepared from lithium (20.0 g.) and butyl bromide (234 g.) in ether, indene (116 g., 1.0 M) is added with stirring under nitrogen at -10.degree.. After 1 hour at -10.degree. ethylene oxide (88 g.) in ether (300 ml.) is added in 1/2 hour. After warming to 10.degree., 500 ml. water is added cautiously and stirring is continued until there is no lithium remaining. The layers are separated and the organic layer is washed once with dilute HCl and three times with water. After drying, the ether is removed and the product distilled, collecting 76 g.

The crude tosylate (41.5 g., 0.13 M) and piperidine (28 g., 0.33 M) in 200 ml. toluene are heated under reflux overnight. Ether is added to the warm reaction mixture until crystals begin forming. After cooling, the solid is removed by filtration and washed several times with ether. The filtrate and washes are combined and the solvents removed in vacuo. The oily residue is dissolved in ether, a small amount of insoluble material is removed by filtration, and the ether is removed from the filtrate leaving 29.7 g. (99%) of brown oil. The sample is purified by distillation at reduced pressure recovering 86% as a yellow oil boiling 115.degree./0.05 mm. to 130.degree./0.1 mm.
A solution of 15.0 g. (0.066 M) 1-[2-(3-indenyl)ethyl]piperidine in 100 ml. ether is added to 1 l. liquid ammonia and 100 ml. ether. Lithium ribbon (20.0 g., 2.85 M) is added in several portions over a period of 15 minutes while stirring. The greenish-bronze mixture is stirred 11/2 hours. Absolute ethanol is added dropwise until the color is discharged (260 ml. required, added over a period of 1 hour 40 minutes). After the ammonia has evaporated, the residue is diluted to 1500 ml. with water and extracted two times with ether.

The temperature is then allowed to rise to 35.degree. and is held at 30.degree.-35.degree., using a large water bath, for 4 hours before the mixture is left stirring overnight. The reaction mixture is taken to near dryness and any residual performic acid is removed by twice adding water and removing in vacuo.
The remaining yellow oil is dissolved in 100 ml. absolute ethanol and a solution of 30 g. KOH in 50 ml. water is added. The mixture is heated under reflux 1 hour, cooled, and diluted to 500 ml. with water. This is extracted four times with ether. The ether extracts are dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and the ether is removed in vacuo leaving 7.2 g. (51%) yellow-tan solid. Two recrystallizations from ethyl acetate give 4.25 g.
