When X is chloro and Y is hydrogen, in general, 9S,10S stereochemistry is preferred. In this case, stereochemistry can be determined by coupling an acid chloride of formula VII (G=chloro) with a chiral compound, such as an oxazolidinone of formula VIII, to yield two diastereomers. Separation and recrystallization of the diastereomers followed by X-ray structure determination provides absolute stereochemistry at the 9 and 10 positions.
A compound of formula I can be made by processes which include processes known in the chemical arts for the production of structurally analogous compounds. Such processes for the manufacture of an amide of formula I as defined above are provided as further features of the invention together with chemical intermediates involved therein, and are illustrated by the following procedures in which the meanings of generic radicals are as given above unless otherwise qualified. Such a process can be effected, generally:
(a) when R2 has formula Ia, by reducing a corresponding amide of formula II. Suitable reducing agents include lithium aluminum hydride and borane-dimethylsulfide complex; The reaction can be conducted in an appropriate solvent such as tetrahydrofuran and at a temperature of room temperature to 65.degree. C.
(b) when R.sup.2 has formula Ia and R.sup.4 is hydrogen, by treating a corresponding aldehyde of formula III with a corresponding alkylithium compound of formula R.sup.3 Li. The reaction can be conducted in a suitable solvent such as tetrahydrofuran and at a temperature of from about -78.degree. C. to about room temperature.
(c) when R.sup.2 has formula Ia and R.sup.4 is hydrogen, by treating a corresponding aldehyde of formula III with a magnesium halide (i.e., a Grignard agent) of formula R.sup.3 MgZ wherein Z is a halo group, for example chloro or bromo; The reaction can be conducted in a suitable solvent such as tetrahydrofuran and at a temperature of from about -78.degree. C. to about room temperature.
(d) when R.sup.2 has formula Ia and R.sup.4 is (1-6C)alkyl, by treating a ketone of formula IV with a corresponding alkylmagnesium halide of formula R.sup.4 MgZ wherein Z is a halo group, for example chloro or bromo; The reaction can be conducted in a suitable solvent such as tetrahydrofuran and at a temperature of from about -78.degree. C. to about room temperature.
(e) when R.sup.2 has formula Ia and R.sup.4 is (1-6C)alkyl, by treating a ketone of formula IV with a corresponding alkyllithium compound of formula R.sup.4 Li; The reaction can be conducted in a suitable solvent such as tetrahydrofuran and at a temperature of from about -78.degree. C. to about room temperature.
(f) when R.sup.2 has formula Ib, by oxidizing a corresponding alcohol of formula V. The desired product then corresponds to a ketone of formula IV. Suitable oxidizing agents include the combination of oxalyl chloride and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) in the presence of a base such as a trialkylamine (for example triethylamine, Et.sub.3 N). The reaction can be conducted in an appropriate solvent such as methylene chloride and at a temperature in the range of -78.degree. C. to room temperature.
(g) when R.sup.2 has formula Ic, by reducing a corresponding amide of formula VI, with a suitable reducing agent such as lithium aluminum hydride, boron trifluoride-diethyl ether complex, or borane-dimethylsulfide complex; The reaction can be conducted in an appropriate solvent such as tetrahydrofuran and at a temperature of room temperature to 65.degree. C.
If not commercially available, the necessary starting materials for the procedures such as that described above may be made by procedures which are selected from standard organic chemical techniques, techniques which are analogous to the synthesis of known, structurally similar compounds, or techniques which are analogous to the above described procedure or the procedures described in the examples. In the discussion which follows and the reaction Schemes pertaining thereto, standard chemical abbreviations and acronyms have employed, including: "Ac" for acetyl; "Et" for ethyl; "THF" for tetrahydrofuran; ".sup.t Bu" for tert-butyl; "RT" for room temperature; "DMSO" for dimethylsulfoxide; "Me" for methyl; and "Ph" for phenyl. The variable "Z" is employed to refer to halo substituents (such as chloro) in Grignard agents.
A common intermediate for making compounds according to the invention is an acid (G is hydroxyl) or acid halide (G is a halo group such as chloro) of formula VII. This intermediate can be made as illustrated in Scheme I (set out, together with other schemes referred to herein, on pages following the Examples and formulae). An anthraquinone of formula 10 can be reduced to the corresponding anthracene of formula 12 using zinc and ammonia. Anthracene 12 can then be converted to the corresponding 9-aldehyde 14 using phosphorus oxytrichloride and N-methylformanilide. Reaction of aldehyde 14 with vinyl acetate (Diels-Alder reaction) affords the bridged compound 16 which can then be oxidized with chromium trioxide (in the presence of sulfuric acid) to the corresponding acid 18. Acid 18 can then be successively treated with thionyl chloride (in, for example, toluene) to make the corresponding 9-acid chloride, followed by sodium azide (in, for example, a mixture of water and acetone) to make the corresponding 9-acyl azide, followed by heating (in, for example, toluene) to effect rearrangement to the corresponding isocyanate, followed by treatment with an alkali metal hydroxide (in an alcohol such as ethanol) to cleave the acetyl group to hydroxy and hydrolyze the isocyanate to amino, thereby yielding the 9-amine 20. Amine 20 can then be treated with an alkali metal (for example, sodium) nitrite (in, for example, acetic acid) to effect a ring contraction and thereby yield the 9-aldehyde of formula 22. Aldehyde 22 can be oxidized with chromium trioxide in the presence of sulfuric acid to yield the corresponding 9-acid of formula 24 (corresponding to the acid of formula VII, G=hydroxyl). The corresponding 9-acid chloride can be obtained by treating acid 24 with thionyl chloride.
It is noted that if a 2,7-dihalo substituted methanoanthracene is desired, it can be prepared (as exemplified in co-pending application D36501, filed on even date herewith and incorporated by reference) starting with an (unresolved) acid 24 which is mono-substituted at the 2-position with a desired halo (e.g., chloro) substituent, although in the discussion which follows it is to be understood that an optically enriched isomer (such as 26) can be employed if a corresponding optically enriched dihalo substituted product is desired. Acid 24 can be reacted with thionyl chloride to make the corresponding 9-acid chloride followed by the addition of a lower alcohol (such as methanol or ethanol) to afford a lower 9-alkyl ester. The 2-halo ester can then be nitrated at the 7- position by reaction with a suitable nitrating agent such as a combination of trifluoroacetic anhydride and ammonium nitrate under an inert gas (e.g., nitrogen) atmosphere. This reaction will generally produce a mixture of 2-halo-6-nitro and 2-halo-7-nitro positional isomers which can be separated by conventional separation techniques such as recrystallization or flash chromatography over silica gel. The 2-halo-7-nitro isomer can be reduced to the corresponding 7-amino-2-halo compound by a suitable reducing agent such as stannous chloride, and the 7-amino-2-halide thus obtained can be converted to the corresponding 2,7-dihalo alkyl ester by reaction with a diazotizing agent such as tert-butyl nitrite followed by treatment with a cupric halide such as cupric chloride or cupric bromide. The ester can then be cleaved with a suitable base (such as an alkali metal hydroxide) to afford the corresponding 2,7-dihalo substituted acid.
As indicated by the R,S notation in Scheme I, acid 24 is racemic. Resolution of racemic acid 24 can be accomplished by fractional crystallization of diastereomeric salts, formed by addition of a chiral amine such as (+)-pseudoephedrine, from a suitable solvent such as ethanol to yield optically enriched acid 26. Treatment of 26 with thionyl chloride yields a correspondingly optically enriched acid chloride. Optically enriched intermediates can be employed in chiral syntheses to make optically enriched compounds according to the invention.
An amide of formula II wherein R.sup.2 has formula Ia and R.sup.4 is hydrogen can be made, as illustrated in Scheme IIa, by treating a compound of formula 44 with an acid halide of formula VII (i.e., wherein G is a halo group such as chloro).
A compound of formula 44 can be made as also illustrated in Scheme IIa. An alkyl ester of formula 30 (the ethyl ester being shown for purposes of illustration) can be reduced to the corresponding alcohol 32 by refluxing with lithium aluminum hydride in a solvent such as THF. A protective group (such as a tert-butylcarbamoyl group, .sup.t BuOCO) can then be reacted onto the piperidino nitrogen by reacting alcohol 32 with an acid anhydride such as di-tert-butyl dicarbonate to make the corresponding protected alcohol of formula 34. Protected alcohol 34 can then be oxidized/dehydrogenated to the corresponding aldehyde 36 with oxalyl chloride and DMSO in the presence of a base such as a trialkylamine (for example triethylamine), in an appropriate solvent such as methylene chloride and at a temperature in the range of -78.degree. C. to room temperature. (Alternatively, aldehyde 36 can be made by treating protected alcohol 34 with an oxidizing agent such as pyridinium chlorochromate in an appropriate solvent such as methylene chloride and at a temperature in the range of 0.degree. C. to room temperature.) Aldehyde 36 can be reacted with a Grignard reagent of formula R.sup.3 MgZ or an alkyllithium compound of formula R.sup.3 Li in an appropriate solvent such as THF and at a temperature in the range of -78.degree. C. to room temperature, thereby making a (racemic) alcohol of formula 38. Racemic alcohol 38 can be oxidized with oxalyl chloride and DMSO as described above, or by using manganese dioxide in a suitable solvent such as methylene chloride at room temperature, thereby yielding ketone 40. Ketone 40 can be asymmetrically reduced with (+)-.beta.-chlorodiisopinocampheylborane as described by Brown et al, J. Org. Chem., 50, 5446-5448 (1985), in a solvent such as terahydrofuran and at a temperature of -23.degree. C. to room temperature, or with borane-dimethylsulfide complex in the presence of a chiral oxazaborolidine catalyst such as described by Corey et al, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 109, 7925-7926 (1987), to yield the (optically enriched) alcohol of formula 42a (or the optical isomer 42b) and then deprotected by cleaving the tert-butylcarbamoyl group with acid (for example, trifluoroacetic acid) to yield the correspondingly enriched desired compound of formula 44. Using an optically enriched compound of formula 44 affords a correspondingly enriched amide intermediate of formula II and an enriched final compound of formula I.
An alternative preparation of a compound of formula 44 is also illustrated in Scheme IIb. The piperidino nitrogen of acid 50 can be protected with a protective group such as tert-butylcarbamoyl to make the protected acid of formula 52. Protected acid 52 can then be condensed with N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride in the presence of activators such as 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) and 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide (WSCDI) in an appropriate solvent such as methylene chloride and at a temperature in the range of 0.degree. C. to room temperature to yield the corresponding N-methoxyamide 54. N-methoxyamide 54 can be reacted with a Grignard reagent of formula R.sup.3 MgZ or an alkyllithium compound of formula R.sup.3 Li in an appropriate solvent such as tetrahydrofuran and at a temperature in the range of -78.degree. C. to room temperature, thereby making a ketone of formula 40. Ketone 40 can be reduced with a reducing agent such as sodium borohydride in an appropriate solvent such as methanol to give (racemic) alcohol 38. The protective tert-butylcarbamoyl group can then be cleaved by treating alcohol 38 with an acid, for example trifluoroacetic acid, thereby yielding the desired product (as a racemate) 44.
As also shown in Scheme IIb, resolution of racemic alcohol 44 can be accomplished by fractional crystallization of diastereomeric salts, formed by addition of a chiral carboxylic acid, such as dibenzoyl-L-tartaric acid, from a suitable solvent such as ethanol to yield optically enriched compound 44a. Reaction of optically enriched compound 44a with an acid chloride of formula VII yields a correspondingly enriched compound of formula I.
An amide of formula II wherein R2 has formula Ia and R4 is (1-6C) alkyl can be made, as illustrated in Scheme IIc, by treating a compound of formula 68 with an acid halide of formula VII (i.e., wherein G is a halo group such as chloro).
A compound of formula 68 can be made as also illustrated in Scheme IIc. The piperidino nitrogen of acid 50 can be protected with a protective group such as benzyloxycarbonyl to make the protected acid of formula 60. Protected acid 60 can then be condensed with N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride in the presence of activators such as 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) and 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide (WSCDI) in an appropriate solvent such as methylene chloride and at a temperature in the range of 0.degree. C. to room temperature to yield the corresponding N-methoxyamide 62. N-Methoxyamide 62 can be reacted with a Grignard reagent of formula R.sup.3 MgZ or an alkyllithium compound of formula R.sup.3 Li in an appropriate solvent such as THF and at a temperature in the range of -78.degree. C. to room temperature, thereby making a ketone of formula 64. Ketone 64 can be reacted with a Grignard reagent of formula R.sup.4 MgZ or an alkyllithium compound of formula R.sup.4 Li in an appropriate solvent such as THF and at a temperature in the range of -78.degree. C. to room temperature, thereby making a (racemic) alcohol of formula 66, and then deprotected by hydrogenation in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst such as palladium on carbon (Pd--C), at a hydrogen pressure of, for example, 50 psi in a suitable solvent such as ethanol, and at a temperature in the range of room temperature to 50.degree. C. to make the (racemic) alcohol of formula 68.
As also shown in Scheme IIc, resolution of racemic alcohol 68 can be accomplished by fractional crystallization of diastereomeric salts, formed by addition of a chiral carboxylic acid, such as dibenzoyl-L-tartaric acid, from a suitable solvent such as ethanol to yield optically enriched compound 68a. Reaction of optically enriched compound 68a with an acid halide of formula VII yields a correspondingly enriched amide of formula II and (following reduction) an enriched compound of formula I.
An aldehyde of formula III can be made as illustrated in Scheme III. An acid of formula VII (G=hydroxyl) can be treated with thionyl chloride to convert it to the corresponding acid chloride (G=Cl) of formula VII followed by treatment with an alkyl ester 70 (the ethyl ester being shown for illustration) to make the corresponding amide of formula 72. Amide 72 can be treated with lithium aluminum hydride at reflux in an appropriate solvent such as THF to effect reduction of the amide carbonyl to a methylene group and of the ester moiety to the corresponding alcohol, thereby yielding a compound of formula 74. Treatment of 74 with oxalyl chloride and DMSO followed by treatment with a base such as a trialkylamine (for example, triethylamine) in an appropriate solvent such as methylene chloride and at a temperature of -78.degree. C. to room temperature yields the desired aldehyde III.
As also shown in Scheme III, to make a compound of formula I wherein R.sup.2 has formula Ib (corresponding to a ketone of formula IV), an aldehyde of formula III can first be reacted with an alkyllithium compound of formula R.sup.3 Li or a Grignard agent of formula R.sup.3 MgZ, as previously described, thereby yielding a compound of formula V (corresponding to a compound of the invention having formula I wherein R.sup.2 has formula Ia and R.sup.4 is hydrogen). The compound of formula V can be oxidized with a combination of oxalyl chloride and dimethylsulfoxide in the presence of a trialkylamine, as previously described, thereby oxidizing the alcohol moiety to oxo to yield the desired ketone of formula IV.
As also shown in Scheme III, a compound of formula I wherein R.sup.2 has formula Ia and R.sup.4 is (1-6C)alkyl can be made by reacting a ketone of formula IV with a corresponding alkyllithium compound of formula (1-6C)alkylLi or a corresponding alkylmagnesium compound of formula (1-6C)alkylMgZ (Z has the meaning previously noted).
As noted above, an amide having formula VI can be reduced as illustrated in Scheme IV to yield a corresponding compound of formula I wherein R.sup.2 has formula Ic. Amide VI can be obtained as also illustrated in Scheme IV and described following.
An alcohol of formula 90 can be treated with an acid anhydride, such as acetic anhydride, in the presence of a base, such as triethylamine, and a catalytic amount of an accelerator, such as 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), in a suitable solvent such as THF at a temperature in the range 0.degree. C. to room temperature to give the corresponding acetate of formula 92. Acetate 92 can be reduced by the action of a hydrogen transfer agent, such as formic acid or ammonium formate, in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst, such as palladium on carbon (Pd-C), in a suitable solvent such as methanol and at a temperature in the range of from room temperature to 65.degree. C. to give the protected piperidine derivative 94. Protected piperidine 94 can be deprotected by treatment with an acid, such as trifluoroacetic acid, in a suitable solvent, such as chloroform, at a temperature in the range of 0.degree. C. to room temperature to make the 4-substituted piperidine 96. Treatment of piperidine 96 with an acid chloride of formula VII yields the corresponding amide of formula VI.
It is noted that many of the starting materials for synthetic methods as described above are commercially available and/or widely reported in the scientific literature.
Examples of suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts are organic acid addition salts formed with acids which form a physiologically acceptable anion, for example, tosylate, methanesulfonate, acetate, tartrate, citrate, succinate, benzoate, ascorbate, .alpha.-ketoglutarate, and .alpha.-glycerophosphate. Suitable inorganic salts may also be formed such as sulfate, nitrate, and hydrochloride. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts may be obtained using standard procedures well known in the art, for example by reacting a compound of formula I with a suitable acid affording a physiologically acceptable anion.
When used to treat psychoses, a compound of formula I is generally administered as an appropriate pharmaceutical composition which comprises a compound of formula I as defined hereinbefore together with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier, the composition being adapted for the particular route of administration chosen. Such compositions are provided as a further feature of the invention. They may be obtained employing conventional procedures and excipients and binders and may be in a variety of dosage forms. For example, they may be in the form of tablets, capsules, solutions or suspensions for oral administration; in the form of suppositories for rectal administration; in the form of sterile solutions or suspensions for administration by intravenous, intravesicular, subcutaneous or intramuscular injection or infusion; or in the form of a patch for transdermal administration. Oral administration is preferred.
The dose of compound of formula I which is administered will necessarily be varied according to principles well known in the art taking account of the route of administration, the severity of the psychotic condition, and the size and age of the patient. In general, a compound of formula I will be administered to a warm blooded animal (such as man) so that an effective dose is received, generally a daily dose in the range of about 0.01 to about 40 mg/kg body weight. For example, if the compound is administered intramuscularly, it is administered in the range of about 0.01 to about 10 mg/kg body weight. If it is administered orally, it is administered in the range of about 0.1 to about 40 mg/kg body weight.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that a compound of formula I can be co-administered with other therapeutic or prophylactic agents and/or medicaments that are not medically incompatible therewith. Compounds within the scope of the invention do not show any indication of overt toxicity in laboratory test animals at several multiples of the minimum effective dose.
The compounds of Formula I are antagonists of dopamine D-2 receptors, and as such are predicted to be useful as antipsychotic drugs. D-2 antagonism can be shown by standard tests such as antagonism of [.sup.3 H]-spiperone binding (Test A), and/or antagonism of apomorphine-induced climbing and apomorphine- induced disruption of swimming (Test B).
Test A
The receptor binding assay used to measure affinities of various compounds for the dopamine (DA) D-2 receptor subtype was that described by Saller and Salama in J Pharmacol Exp Ther 236, page 714, 1986.
Specifically, rat striatal membranes were used. Tissue membranes were prepared and washed once in 50 volumes of the appropriate Tris HCl buffer. For the D-2 receptor binding assay, striatal membranes were suspended to a final concentration of 8 mg/ml in 50 mM Tris HCl with 40 nM ketanserin, pH 7.7. Nonspecific binding to D-2 receptors was measured in the presence of 1.0 .mu.M (+)-butaclamol. IC.sub.50 s (drug concentration which produced a 50% displacement) for the displacement of 0.5 nM [.sup.3 H] spiperone were determined using at least five concentrations of each drug in triplicate. One-half milliliter of membrane suspension was incubated with the compound of interest or vehicle or nonspecific drug, ligand and appropriate Tris HCl buffer. The final reaction volume totaled 1 ml for each tube and was incubated at 37.degree. C. for 15 min to facilitate binding and ensure equilibrium had been met. A Brandel filtering system equipped with GF/B filters was used to separate bound from free drug. The amount of drug bound to the membranes was assessed using liquid scintillation counting techniques. IC.sub.50 values were obtained from a least squares regression of a logit-log transformation of the data. Typical values in this test were, for example, 103 nM (nanomolar) for the compound of Example 6, 84 nM for the compound of Example 15, and 15 nM for the compound of Example 21.
Test B
Female Swiss-Webster mice weighing approximately 20 g were deprived of food for approximately 24 h and then dosed orally with various doses of either the vehicle or test agent over a range of doses (N=20 mice per treatment group). Thirty minutes later they were dosed with apomorphine HCl at 1.25 mg/kg, sc, and placed into climbing cages. The climbing cages were 9 cm wide, 15 cm deep and 30 cm high. One wall had 27 horizontal rungs spaced 1 cm apart. Thirteen minutes after apomorphine each mouse was observed continuously for 1 min and the highest and lowest rung reached by its front paws was recorded. The mean of these two scores was used as the score for that mouse. (The highest and lowest scores were 27 and 0, respectively.) Immediately after the 1-min climbing observation period each mouse was placed into a circular swimming tank for 2 min and the number of swims was counted. The height of the tank was 15 cm and the diameter was 28 cm. A circular obstacle measuring 10.5 cm in diameter and having a height of 17 cm was placed into the center of the tank, creating a circular swimming channel 8.75 cm wide. The water level was 5.5 cm and the water was kept at room temperature. Marks were placed on the floor and side of the tank 180 degrees apart. A "swim" was scored each time a mouse swam from one mark to the other. The mice were observed through overhead mirrors and the number of 180 degree swims was recorded for each mouse. Activity in this test was indicated by a decrease in the climbing score accompanied by an increase in the swimming score at a given dose of the test compound. Typical values of minimum effective doses in this test were 10 mg/kg for the compound of Example 6 and 20 mg/kg for each of the compounds of Examples 15 and 21.
In general, compounds were considered active if they provided an IC.sub.50 value of 500 nM or less in Test A, and/or were active following an oral dose of 40 mg/kg or less in Test B.

A solution of a starting crude amide (970 mg, 2.25 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (30 mL) was treated with boron trifluoride etherate (640 mg, 4.51 mmol) and borane-methyl sulfide (1.13 mL of a 10.0M solution, 11.25 mmol). The resulting mixture was heated to reflux for 16 h, then was quenched by addition of methanol (10 mL) and 1N hydrochloric acid (1 mL). The mixture was heated to reflux for 1 h, then was cooled to room temperature and basified to pH.about.11 by addition of 20% aqueous sodium hydroxide. Evaporation of the mixture afforded a semi-solid residue, which was partitioned between 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide (30 mL) and chloroform (40 mL). The organic extract was washed sequentially with 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide (30 mL) and brine (30 mL). Each aqueous wash was extracted with chloroform (3.times.30 mL). The organic extracts were combined, dried over potassium carbonate, filtered and evaporated to leave an off white foam (810 mg). Purification by flash chromatography over silica gel (eluant: 95:5 chloroform/methanol) afforded a white solid (600 mg). A solution of this solid in methanol/ether (1:20, 100 mL) was treated with hydrogen chloride (g) to generate the dihydrochloride salt, which was precipitated from methanol/diethyl ether (1:20). The salt was dissolved in water (75 mL) and lyophilized to give the title compound (510 mg, 1.02 mmol, 45%) as a white powder mp 220.degree.-225.degree. C. .alpha..sub.D +44.0.degree. (c=0.5, MeOH).

The starting crude amide was prepared as follows:
a. R-1-[1-((9S,10S)-2-Chloro-9,10-dihydro-9,10-methanoanthracen-9-ylcarbonyl)-4-piperidyl]-1-(3-pyridyl)methanol.
A solution of (S,S) chloromethanoanthracene acid (567 mg, 2.09 mmol) in dichloromethane (20 mL) was treated with oxalyl chloride (1.28 g, 10.04 mmol) and N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mg, 0.14 mmol). The resulting solution was warmed to reflux temperature for 30 minutes, then was cooled to room temperature and the excess reagent was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in dichloromethane (20 mL), and this solution was added to a stirred, 0.degree. C. solution of piperidin-4-yl-pyridin-3-ylmethanol (390 mg, 2.02 mmol) and triethylamine (937 mg, 9.25 mmol) in dichloromethane (20 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature, then was poured into 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide (20 mL). The organic phase was separated and washed sequentially with 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide (20 mL) and brine (20 mL). The aqueous washes were extracted with dichloromethane (40 mL). The organic extracts were combined, dried over potassium carbonate, filtered and evaporated to leave an off white foam (970 mg). This sample of amide was used directly without purification.
The 2-chloro-9,10-dihydro-9,10-methano-9-anthracenecarboxylic acid was prepared as follows:
b. 2-Chloroanthracene.
A stirred suspension of 2-chloroanthraquinone (1260 g, 5.19 moles) in concentrated ammonium hydroxide (7.5 L) and water (2.5 L) was warmed to 40.degree. C. Zinc dust (845 g, 12.93 moles) was added in one portion, changing the color to deep red. The mixture was stirred for 45 min at 50.degree. C., then cautiously treated with a second portion of zinc dust (845 g). After the addition, the stirred mixture was heated gradually over 3 h to 90.degree. C., then maintained at 90.degree.-95.degree. C. for 2 h (red color dissipated). TLC analysis [silica gel/hexane:methylene chloride (3:1)] showed complete conversion of the anthraquinone (R.sub.f =0.35) to the desired anthracene (R.sub.f =0.80). The reaction mixture was stirred overnight as it cooled to room temperature. The cooled mixture was treated with methylene chloride (4 L), stirred for 2 h, then filtered through Celite to remove the excess zinc. The filter cake was washed with methylene chloride (6.times.1 L). The methylene chloride layer was separated from the aqueous, then treated with 6N hydrochloric acid (3 L) and stirred for 2 h. A first crop of 2-chloroanthracene was collected by filtration and washed with water (4.times.1 L). Vacuum drying afforded a light yellow crystalline product weighing 804.6 g (mp 220.degree.-221.degree. C.). The methylene chloride portion of the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to 10% of its original volume. This produced an additional 158.5 g of the desired compound for a total yield of 963.1 g (87.2%). 1H NMR (CDCl3): .delta.8.39 (s, 1H), 8.30 (s,1H), 7.96 (s, 4H), 7.49 (s, 2H), 7.36 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H).
c. 2-Chloro-9-anthraldehyde.
N-methylformanilide (2.45 kg, 18.12 moles) was treated with phosphorus oxychloride (2.66kg, 17.35 moles) over a 40 min. period at ambient temperature. The intermediate Viismeier complex was stirred for 2 h at room temperature, then treated with 2-chloroanthracene (963 g, 4.53 moles), and o-dichlorobenzene (1.0 L). The resulting bright yellow mixture was heated gradually over 1.5 h to 90.degree. C. at which point an exotherm ensued raising the reaction temperature to 115.degree. C. The heat was removed until the exotherm subsided (45 min.), after which time the mixture was heated for 9 h at 90.degree. C., then cooled. TLC analysis [silica gel/ethyl acetate:hexane (1:4)] showed a small amount of unreacted anthracene (R.sub.f =0.90), a small amount of the 3-chloro isomer (R.sub.f =0.65), and the 2-chloro isomer (R.sub.f =0.58) as the major component. The cooled reaction mixture was poured into ice/water (27 L) precipitating a dark brown tar. The aqueous layer was decanted away from the tar and extracted with methylene chloride (5.times.2 L). The combined extracts were used to redissolve the tar. The methylene chloride solution was washed with 3N hydrochloric acid (4.times.1.5 L), followed by water (2 L), then dried over magnesium sulfate. The extracts were filtered, then pressure-filtered through a bed of silica gel, eluting with methylene chloride until all of the desired compound had passed through. The eluate was concentrated on the rotary evaporator to give a slurry of bright yellow crystals (in o-dichlorobenzene). The crystals were collected by filtration, washed with diethyl ether (2.times.500 ml), then vacuum dried to afford 619.7 g (56.9%) of the desired 2-chloro-9-anthraldehyde (mp 148.degree.-150.degree. C.). 1H NMR (CDCl3): .delta.11.35 (s, 1H), 9.02 (d, J=0.9 Hz, 1H), 8.81 (d, J=8.9 Hz, 1H), 8.56 (s, 1H), 7.98 (m, 1H), 7.90 (d, J=8.9 Hz, 1H), 7.66 (m, 1H), 7.53 (m, 1H), 7.42 (m, 1H).
d. (9RS,10RS,12RS)-12-Acetoxy-2-chloro-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracene-9-carboxaldehyde.
A mixture of 2-chloro-9-anthraldehyde, prepared as in Example 1c, (100.0 g, 0.415 moles) and vinyl acetate (400 ml, 374 g, 4.34 moles) was placed in a stainless steel bomb (PARR) and heated at 200.degree. C. (sand bath temp.) for 24 h, then cooled. The reaction mixture was concentrated on the rotary evaporator to remove the excess vinyl acetate, leaving the crude product as a tan crystalline solid. The crude product from several batches, which consumed 670.0g (2.78 moles) of 2-chloro-9-anthraldehyde, was pooled. Trituration with diethyl ether (1.0 L) gave an off-white crystalline solid which was collected by filtration, washed with diethyl ether (2.times.300 ml), then vacuum dried to afford 629.0 g (69.1%) of the title compound (mp 145.degree.-153.degree. C.). 1H NMR (CDCl3): .delta.10.58,10.64 (2s,1H), 7.63 (m) and 7.76 (d, J=1.5 Hz, 1H), 7.15-7.36 (m, 6H), 5.46 (m, 1H), 4.29 (s, 1H), 2.55 (m, 1H), 1.88, 1.91 (2s, 3H), 1.55 (m, 1H).
Evaporation of the filtrates and washes gave a thick brown oil, which was purified by column chromatography over silica gel eluting with a solvent mixture of methylene chloride:hexane (1:1).
The recovered solid was recrystallized from diethyl ether:hexane (1:1-400 ml) to afford an additional 175.5 g (19.3%) of the desired compound.
e. (9RS,10RS,12RS)-12-Acetoxy-2-chloro-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracene-9-carboxylic acid.

C. After the addition of the Jones Reagent, the reaction mixture was stirred for 4 h at room temperature. TLC analysis [silica gel/methylene chloride] showed complete consumption of the aldehyde (R.sub.f =0.73). Isopropanol (100 ml) was added and the reaction mixture stirred for 18 h to quench any excess Jones Reagent, resulting in a white suspension over a green-black sludge (chromium salts). The white supernatant was drawn off, and the sludge washed with acetone (5.times.500 ml). The acetone washes were combined with the supernatant and concentrated on the rotary evaporator to a final volume of 2 L. The residue was poured into ice/water (10 L) and stirred vigorously for 5 h yielding an off-white solid. The material was collected by filtration, washed with water (3.times.1 L), then vacuum dried to give 665.3 g (99%) of the title compound, mp 270.degree.-273.degree. C.

Thionyl chloride (400 g, 3.36 moles) was added in one portion at room temperature followed by a catalytic amount (2 ml) of N,N-dimethylformamide. The mixture was heated gradually to reflux (80.degree. C.) over 1 h, then maintained at reflux for 8 h, yielding a clear amber solution. The cooled reaction mixture was concentrated on the rotary evaporator under pump vacuum to remove the toluene. The crude acid chloride was isolated as a waxy brown solid (804 g, 115% of theory), and was used as such in the next reaction. A small sample of the material was dried under high vacuum to provide a sample for spectral characterization. 1H NMR (CDCl3): .delta.7.87 (m, 1H), 7.18-7.40 (m, 6H), 5.57 (m, 1H), 4.29 (s, 1H), 2.58 (m, 1H), 1.91, 1.94 (2s, 3H), 1.50 (m, 1H).

The crude acid chloride prepared in Example 1f (804 g, .about.1.94 moles) was dissolved in acetone (8.0 L) and the resulting solution cooled by an ice/methanol bath to -5.degree. C. The stirred mixture was treated with an aqueous solution of sodium azide (380 g, 5.84 moles in 1.0 L of water) added over a period of 30 min. The resulting tan suspension was stirred for 3 h at 0.degree. C., then allowed to warm to room temperature. The mixture was concentrated on the rotary evaporator at 15.degree.-20.degree. C. using pump vacuum to remove the acetone. The residue was partitioned between water (5 L) and toluene (5 L), stirred for 1 h, then filtered. The two-phase filtrate was separated and the aqueous portion extracted with toluene (5.times.1 L). The toluene extracts were used to redissolve the filter cake isolated earlier. The combined toluene solutions were washed with brine solution (2 L), then dried over magnesium sulfate. The toluene was filtered, then concentrated to 1/2 volume on the rotary evaporator at 15.degree.-20.degree. C. under pump vacuum. This gave a toluene solution of the acyl azide (yield assumed to be quantitative), which was used in the next reaction. A small sample of the solution was evaporated under high vacuum to isolate a sample of the acyl azide as an off-white sticky solid for spectral characterization. 1H NMR (CDCl3): .delta.7.80 (m, 1H), 7.16-7.33 (m, 6H), 5.39 (m, 1H), 4.27 (t, J=2.6 Hz, 1H), 2.50 (m,1H), 1.89, 1.92 (2s, 3H), 1.47 (m, 1H).

The toluene solution of the crude acyl azide prepared as in Example 1 g (.about.713.5 g, .about.1,94 moles in .about.6.0 L of toluene) was heated gradually over a 30 min period to 65.degree. C. At this point, rapid evolution of nitrogen ensued, accompanied by an exotherm which raised the temperature of the reaction mixture to 95.degree. C. The heating mantle was removed until the exotherm subsided (.about.30 min.), after which time the reaction was heated at reflux for 3 h, then allowed to cool. The toluene was removed on the rotary evaporator using pump vacuum, isolating the crude isocyanate as a thick amber oil (738.5 g, 112% of theory). This material was used in the next reaction without further purification. A sample of the oil was dried under high vacuum to provide a sample for spectral characterization. 1H NMR (CDCl3): .delta.7.54 (m, 2H), 7.15-7.30 (m, 5H), 5.03 (m,1H), 4.26 (t, J= 2.6 Hz, 1H), 2.55 (m, 1H), 1.98, 2.00 (2s, 3H), 1.56 (m, 1H).

The crude isocyanate prepared as in Example 1h (738.5 g, .about.1.94 moles) was dissolved in absolute ethanol (7.0 L) giving a light amber solution. The stirred solution was treated with 20% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (800 g, 20.0 moles in 4.0 L of water) added in one portion at room temperature. The reaction mixture turned red-brown immediately upon addition of the base. The mixture was heated at reflux for 8 h, then cooled. TLC analysis [silica gel/methylene chloride] showed complete consumption of the isocyanate (R.sub.f =0.80). The reaction mixture was concentrated on the rotary evaporator to remove the ethanol, leaving an aqueous suspension of the product which was extracted with methylene chloride (3.times.5 L). The combined extracts were washed with water (2 L) and brine solution (1 L), then dried over magnesium sulfate.

(9RS,10RS,12RS)-9-Amino-2-chloro-12-hydroxy-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracene prepared as in Example 1i (445.5 g, 1.64 moles) was dissolved in glacial acetic acid (4.0 L), and the resulting solution cooled to 10.degree. C. A solution of sodium nitrite (340.0 g, 4.93 moles) in water (1.4 L) was added to the reaction mixture over a period of 1.75 h. The temperature of the mixture was maintained at 10.degree. C. during the addition of the nitrite, and for 4 h thereafter. The mixture was then stirred overnight and allowed to warm to room temperature. TLC analysis [silica gel/toluene:ethyl acetate (4:1)] showed complete conversion of the amino alcohol (R.sub.f =0.12) to the desired aldehyde (R.sub.f =0.80). The reaction mixture was diluted with water (4 L) which caused precipitation of a reddish-brown tar. The aqueous supernatant was decanted away from the tar, diluted with an equal volume of crushed ice, then adjusted to pH=5-6 with solid sodium hydroxide. The resulting aqueous mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3.times.1.5 L). The combined ethyl acetate extracts were used to redissolve the tar, and the resulting solution washed with brine (2.times.1 L) then dried over magnesium sulfate. Filtration, followed by removal of the solvent in vacuo, gave the crude product as a thick brown oil. Purification of this material by column chromatography over silica gel, eluting with a solvent mixture of methylene chloride:hexane (1:1), afforded a thick yellow oil which crystallized on standing (311.7 g, 74.6%). Trituration with diethyl ether:hexane (1:6-700 ml) gave a first crop of pure title compound as an off-white crystalline solid (224.1 g, 53.6%), mp 91.degree.-92.degree.

A stirred solution of (9RS,10RS)-2-chloro-9,10-dihydro-9,10-methanoanthracene-9-carboxaldehyde prepared as in Example 1i (290.5 g, 1.14 moles) dissolved in acetone (5.0 L) was cooled to 10.degree. C. and treated with Jones Reagent (950 ml, .about.1.19 moles) over a period of 1 h. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature, then analyzed by TLC [silica gel/methylene chloride:hexane (1:1)]. Conversion of the aldehyde (R.sub.f =0.50) to the desired carboxylic acid (R.sub.f =0.0-0.15) was shown to be complete. Isopropanol (150 ml) was added, and the mixture stirred for another 3 h to quench any excess Jones Reagent. The acetone supernatant was decanted away from the green-black sludge that had formed, and the sludge was washed with acetone (2.times.1 L). The combined acetone solutions were concentrated on the rotary evaporator to a volume of 1.5 L, then poured into ice/water (6 L) with vigorous stirring. A yellow-white gum precipitated and gradually solidified with continued stirring. The solid was collected by filtration, pulverized to a fine off-white powder in a mortar & pestle, then rewashed with cold water (2.times.1 L).

1-((9S,10S)-2-Chloro-9,10-dihydro-9,10-methanoanthracen-9-ylmethyl)-4-(2-hydroxy-3-pyridylmethyl)piperidine.
A solution of 1-((9S,10S)-2-chloro-9,10-dihydro-9,10-methanoanthracen-9-ylcarbonyl)-4-(2-methoxy-3-pyridylmethyl)piperidine (1.80 g. 3.92 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (50 mL) was treated with boron trifluoride etherate (612 mg, 4.31 mmol) and borane- tetrahydrofuran (14.9 mL of a 1.0M solution, 14.9 mmol). The resulting solution was heated to reflux for 3 h. The mixture was then concentrated on a rotary evaporator to give a colorless residue. The residue was dissolved in concentrated hydrochloric acid (50 mL, 12N) and heated to reflux for 3 h. The solution was concentrated to dryness on a rotary evaporator to give a glassy residue. This residue was dissolved in methanol (100 mL) and concentrated to dryness on a rotary evaporator (3X) to give a white foam. This foam was dissolved in methanol (5 mL) and added to rapidly stirred diethyl ether (200 mL) to give a white precipitate which was collected and washed with diethyl ether to give the hydrochloride salt of the title compound (1.3 g, 2.60 mmol, 66%) as an off-white powder, mp 211.degree.-215.degree. C.

The starting amide was prepared as follows:
a. 1-((9S,10S)-2-Chloro-9,10-dihydro-9,10-methanoanthracen-9-ylcarbonyl)-4-(2-methoxy-3-pyridylmethyl)piperidine
To a solution of 1-((9S,10S)-2-chloro-9,10-dihydro-9,10-methanoanthracen-9-ylcarbonyl)-4-(2-fluoro-3-pyridylmethyl)piperidine, (2.60 g, 5.8 mmol), prepared as described in Example 55a, in methanol (25 mL) was added potassium fluoride (4.15 g, 71.4 mmol) which caused a slight exotherm (.about.35.degree. C.). Sodium methoxide solution in methanol (4.4 mL of a 25 wt % solution) was added which caused another exotherm (.about.50.degree. C.) and thinned the suspension. This suspension was heated to reflux for 6 h. Additional potassium fluoride (4.15 g, 71.4 mmol) was added and the suspension was refluxed for 18 h. Additional sodium methoxide solution (1.0 mL) was added and the suspension was refluxed for 5 h. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, partitioned between basic brine and dichloromethane. The organic extract was separated and the aqueous was extracted with dichloromethane (2X). The dichloromethane extracts were combined, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated on a rotary evaporator. The crude foam was purified by flash chromatography on silica (eluant: 15% acetone/hexanes) to give the title compound as a white solid (1.82 g, 3.95 mmol, 68%).
