The compounds of this invention are prepared by following one or more of the steps described below. Throughout the description of the synthetic steps, the definitions of X and R.sub.1 through R.sub.9 are as given above unless otherwise stated or indicated.
STEP A
A compound of formula III is reacted with a primary amine of formula IV to afford a compound of formula V. ##STR4##
This reaction is typically conducted in a suitable solvent, for instance, a polar solvent such as butanol, 2-ethoxyethanol or the like and by stirring the reaction mixture at a temperature of about 100.degree.-180.degree. C. Reflux condition is preferred. Optionally, triethylamine may be added to the reaction mixture in order to facilitate the reaction. Presence of solvent is not essential.
Alternatively to the above, the following two steps may be used to obtain compound V.
STEP B
A compound of formula VI is reacted with compound IV in substantially the same manner as in STEP A to afford a compound of formula VII. ##STR5##
STEP C
Compound VII is reacted with bromine to afford compound V.
(VII)+BR.sub.2 .fwdarw.(V)
This reaction is typically conducted at room temperature in the presence of a suitable solvent such as acetic acid.
STEP D
Sometimes, it is convenient to obtain a compound of formula Va from the corresponding chloro compound of formula Vb by use of hydrogenolysis. ##STR6##
This hydrogenolysis is typically conducted in the presence of a suitable noble metal catalyst suchas palladium on carbon and a suitable reaction medium such as methanol. It is preferable to add small amounts of acetic acid and sodium acetate to the reaction system. The reaction is typically conducted at room temperature while the mixture is being shaken.
STEP E
Compound V obtained from one of the foregoing steps is cyclized to afford a compound of formula VIII. ##STR7##
This cyclization is typically conducted in the presence of a suitable solvent such as dimethylformamide and a strong base such as potassium tertiary butoxide or sodium hydride and by stirring the reaction mixture at a temperature of about 70.degree.-150.degree. C.
STEP F
Compound VIII is reacted with a loweralkyl chloride or arylloweralkyl chloride of the formula R.sub.10 --Cl where R.sub.10 is loweralkyl or arylloweralkyl in a routine manner known to the art to obtain a compound of formula IX. ##STR8##
STEP G
Compound VIII is reacted with a compound of formula X in a routine manner known to the art to obtain a compound of formula XI. ##STR9##
Alternatively to the above, where m is 2 in formula XI, the desired product can also be obtained by reacting compound VIII with acrylonitrile rather than NCCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 Br in a routine manner known to the art.
STEP H
Compound XII is reduced in a routine manner known to the art to obtain a compound of formula XII. ##STR10##
The compounds of formula I and II of the present invention are useful in the treatment of various memory dysfunctions characterized by decreased cholinergic function, such as Alzheimer's disease.
This utility is demonstrated by the ability of these compounds to restore cholinergically deficient memory in the Dark Avoidance Assay, where they are in general active over a broader dose range than heretofore known compounds, a distinct therapeutic advantage.
Dark Avoidance Assay
In this assay mice are tested for their ability to remember an unpleasant stimulus for a period of 24 hours. A mouse is placed in a chamber that contains a dark compartment; a strong incandescent light drives it to the dark compartment, where an electric shock is administered through metal plates on the floor. The animal is removed from the testing apparatus and tested again, 24 hours later, for the ability to remember the electric shock.
If scopolamine, an anticholinergic agent that is known to cause memory impairment, is administered before an animals' initial exposure to the test chamber, the animal re-enters the dark compartment shortly after being placed in the test chamber 24 hours later. This effect of scopolamine is blocked by an active test compound, resulting in greater interval before re-entry into the dark compartment.
The results for an active compound are expressed as the percent of a group of animals in which the effect of scopolamine is blocked, as manifested by an increased interval between being placed in the test chamber and re-entering the dark compartment. Results for some of the compounds of this invention are presented in Table 1.

Effective quantities of the compounds of the invention may be administered to a patient by any of the various methods, for example, orally as in capsules or tablets, parenterally in the form of sterile solutions or suspensions, and in some case intravenously in the form of sterile solutions. The free base final products, while effective themselves, may be formulated and administered in the form of their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts for purposes of stability, convenience of crystallization, increased solubility and the like.
Acids useful for preparing the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the invention include inorganic acids such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, nitric, phosphoric and perchloric acids, as well as organic acids such as tartaric, citric, acetic, succinic, malic, fumaric and oxalic acids.
The active compounds of the present invention may be orally administered, for example, with an inert diluent or with an edible carrier, or they may be enclosed in gelatin capsules, or they may be compressed into tablets. For the purposes of oral therapeutic administration, the active compounds of the invention may be incorporated with excipients and used in the form of tablets, troches, capsules, elixirs, suspensions, syrups, wafers, chewing gum and the like. These preparations should contain at least 0.5% of active compound, but may be varied depending upon the particular form and may conveniently be between 4% to about 70% of the weight of the unit. The amount of active compound in such compositions is such that a suitable dosage will be obtained. Preferred compositions and preparations according to the present invention are prepared so that an oral dosage unit form contains between 1.0-300 milligrams of active compound.
The tablets, pills, capsules, troches and the like may also contain the following ingredients: a binder such as micro-crystalline cellulose, gum tragacanth or gelatin; an excipient such as starch or lactose, a disintegrating agent such as alginic acid, Primogel, cornstarch and the like; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate or Sterotex; a glidant such as colloidal silicon dioxide; and a sweetening agent such as sucrose or saccharin may be added or a flavoring agent such as peppermint, methyl salicylate, or orange flavoring. When the dosage unit form is a capsule, it may contain, in addition to materials of the above type, a liquid carrier such as a fatty oil. Other dosage unit form may contain other various materials which modify the physical form of the dosage unit, for example, as coatings. Thus tablets or pills may be coated with sugar, shellac, or other enteric coating agents. A syrup may contain, in addition to the active compounds, sucrose as a sweetening agent and certain preservatives, dyes, coloring and flavors. Materials used in preparing these various compositions should be pharmaceutically pure and non-toxic in the amounts used.
For the purpose of parenteral therapeutic administration, the active compounds of the invention may be incorporated into a solution or suspension. These preparations should contain at least 0.1% of active compound, but may be varied between 0.5 and about 30% of the weight thereof. The amount of active compound in such compositions is such that a suitable dosage will be obtained. Preferred compositions and preparations according to the present invention are prepared so that a parenteral dosage unit contains between 0.5 to 100 milligrams of active compound.
The solutions or suspensions may also include the following components: a sterile diluent such as water for injection, saline solution, fixed oils, polyethylene glycols, glycerine, propylene glycol or other synthetic solvents; antibacterial agents such as benzyl alcohol or methyl parabens; antioxidants such as ascorbic acid or sodium bisulfite; chelating agents such as as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid; buffers such as acetates, citrates or phosphate and agents for the adjustment of tonicity such as sodium chloride or dextrose.
