Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In U.S. Pat. No. 2,971,005 there are described 2-(phenylmethylamino)benzimidazoles having local anaesthetic and antifibrillatory properties and in U.S. Pat. No. 2,857,391 there are described a number of 2-(aminomethyl)benzimidazoles. The compounds of this invention differ therefrom essentially by the nature of the 4-piperidinyl-group, attached to the amino nitrogen atom and by their unexpected antihistaminic properties. Also known in the art is 1-methyl-N-phenyl-N-phenylmethyl-4-piperidinamine, an antihistaminic compound which is generically designated as Bamipine (see the Merck index, 8th edition (1968) p. 118). The compounds of this invention are structurally different since they invariably contain a 1H-benzimidazol-2-yl or 3H-imidazo [4,5-b]pyridin-2-yl radical, attached to the amino nitrogen atom.

wherein said aroyl in the definition of said L represents arylcarbonyl wherein said aryl is as defined hereabove.
As used in the foregoing definitions the term "lower alkyl" is meant to include straight and branch chained hydrocarbon radicals having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms such as, for example, methyl, ethyl, 1-methylethyl, 1,1-dimethylethyl, propyl, 2-methylpropyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl and the like; the term "alkyl" as used in the definition of R.sup.2 includes straight and branch chained hydrocarbon radicals having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms, such as, for example, the above-indicated lower alkyls and higher homologs such as heptyl, octyl, nonyl and decyl; the term "lower alkenyl" refers to straight alkenyl radicals having from 3 to 6 carbon atoms wherein the unsaturation is preferably located at the .beta.-position but may also be located at the .gamma., .delta., or .epsilon.-position such as for example, 2-propenyl, 2-butenyl, 3-pentenyl, 2-hexenyl and the like; the term "cycloalkyl" refers to cyclic hydrocarbon radicals having from 3 to 6 carbon atoms such as cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl and cyclohexyl, and the term "halo" is generic to fluoro, chloro, bromo and iodo.
The compounds of formula (I) can generally be derived from a starting material of the formula ##STR3## wherein R, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, n and Q are as previously defined by introducing the desired L-substituent onto the piperidine nitrogen by the application of art-known methods.
In general the introduction of said L into the intermediate (II) may conveniently be accomplished by the reaction of (II) with an appropriate reactive ester of the formula LY, (III), wherein L is as previously defined and Y is a reactive ester residue such as, for example, halo, preferably chloro or bromo, or a sulfonyloxy residue such as, for example, methylsulfonyloxy or 4-methylphenylsulfonyloxy and the like. The condensation reaction of (II) with (III) is conveniently conducted in an inert organic solvent such as, for example, an aromatic hydrocarbon, e.g., benzene, methylbenzene, dimethylbenzene, and the like; a lower alkanol, e.g., methanol, ethanol, 1-butanol and the like; a ketone, e.g., 4-methyl-2-pentanone and the like; an ether, e.g., 1,4-dioxane, 1,1'-oxybisethane and the like; N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF); nitrobenzene; and the like.
The additon of an appropriate base such as, for example, an alkali metal carbonate or hydrogen carbonate, or an organic base such as, for example N,N-diethylethanamine or N-(1-methylethyl)-2-propanamine may be utilized to pick up the acid that is liberated during the course of the reaction. In some circumstances the addition of an iodide salt, preferably an alkali metal iodide, is appropriate. Somewhat elevated temperatures may be employed to enhance the rate of the reaction.
When L in formula (I) represents a(2,3-dihydro-2-oxo-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl) lower alkyl radical it is appropriate to use a reactive ester (III) wherein the nitrogen atom in the 3-position of the of the 2,3-dihydro-2-oxo-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl group is substituted with an appropriate protecting group, preferably a 1-methylethenyl group and removing said protecting group after completion of the condensation reaction. The removal of said protecting group may be accomplished by art-known procedures, such as acid hydrolysis when a 1-methylethenyl group is involved.
When L represents a 2-aryl-2-hydroxyethyl or a 3-aryloxy 2-hydroxypropyl radical, the introduction of said substituent into the intermediate (II) may conveniently be carried out by reacting (II) at an elevated temperature with an appropriate oxirane of the formula ##STR4## wherein m is 0 or 1.
The reaction of (II) with (IV) may be carried out in an appropriate organic solvent or, optionally, in the absence of any solvent. Suitable solvents which may be employed include, for example, aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, methylbenzene, dimethylbenzene and the like; halogenated hydrocarbons such as, for example, trichloromethane, dichloromethane and the like; lower alkanols such as, methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol and the like alcohols; and mixtures of such solvents. When the piperidine derivative (II) is in the form of an acid addition salt it is appropriate to add to the reaction mixture an appropriate base such as, for example, sodium carbonate in order to liberate the free acid from the salt.
The compounds of formula (I) wherein L represents a 2-hydroxyethyl radical may be prepared by the reaction of an appropriate piperidine of formula (II) with oxirane, following the same procedure as described for the reaction of (IV) with (II).
When L is, at the point of attachment to the piperidine nitrogen atom, a primary or secondary alkyl group, the compounds (I) may also be prepared by the reductive amination of an aldehyde or ketone corresponding with the alcohol L--OH with a piperidine derivative of formula (II) following art-known procedures. In a convenient method of operation a mixture of the aldehyde or ketone and (II) in an appropriate organic solvent is hydrogenated in the presence of an appropriate catalyst such as, for example, palladium-on-charcoal.
Appropriate organic solvents include lower alkanols, such as, for example, methanol, ethanol, propanol and the like. The rate of the hydrogenation reaction may be enhanced by carrying out said reaction in the presence of an appropriate weak acid such as, for example, acetic acid. When the piperidine derivative (II) is in the form of an addition salt with a strong acid, e.g., hydrochloric or hydrobromic acid it is appropriate to add thereto a salt of a strong base with a weak acid., e.g., sodium acetate to bind said strong acid. When (II) contains groups that are themselves susceptable to catalytic hydrogenation, e.g. when R.sup.2 represents a arylmethyl group, it may be appropriate to add to the reaction mixture an appropriate catalyst poison, such as, for example, thiophene.
When L represents a radical of formula Z--C.sub.m H.sub.2m --, wherein m is an integer of from 2 to 6 inclusive and wherein Z is as previously defined, the compounds of formula (I) can also be prepared by the reaction of (II) with an appropriate alkenyl derivative, Z--C.sub.m H.sub.2m-1, according to art-known methods of carrying out similar addition- reactions, e.g., by stirring and heating the reactants together in and appropriate reaction-inert organic solvent such as, for example, a lower alkanol such as 2-propanol, butanol and the like.
When L represents a 2-(aroylamino)ethyl radical or a 2-arylethyl radical the compounds (I) can also be obtained by the reaction of (II) with an appropriate I-aroylaziridine or an appropriate ethenylarene, respectively. Said reactions are preferably carried out in an appropriate reaction-inert organic solvent, such as, for example, a lower alkanol, e.g. methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol and the like alcohols; an aromatic hydrocarbon, e.g., benzene, methylbenzene, dimethylbenzene and the like; a ketone, e.g., 4-methyl-2-pentanone; an ether, e.g., 1,4-dioxane, 1,1'-oxybisethane and the like; N,N-dimethylformamide; nitrobenzene; and the like; or a mixture of such solvents. Elevated temperatures are appropriate in order to enhance the rate of the reaction and preferably the reaction is carried out at the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture.
The compounds of formula (I) can also be prepared by the cyclodesulfurization of an appropriate thiourea derivative of the formula ##STR5## Said cyclodesulfurization reaction may be carried out by the reaction of (V) with an appropriate alkyl halide, preferably iodomethane in an appropriate reaction-inert organic solvent, e.g., a lower alkanol such as methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol and the like. Otherwise, the cyclodesulfurization reaction may be carried out by the reaction of (V) with an appropriate metal oxide or salt in an appropriate solvent according to the procedure described, for example, in Pharmazie, 31, 348 (1976). For example, the compounds of formula (I) can easily be prepared by the reaction of (V) with an appropriate Hg(II) or Pb(II) oxide or salt, such as, for example HgO, HgCl.sub.2, Hg(OAc).sub.2, PbO or Pb(OAc).sub.2. In certain instances it may be appropriate to supplement the reaction mixture with a small amount of sulfur. Even so methanediimines, especially N,N'-methanetetraylbis[cyclohexanamine], may be used as cyclodesulfurizing agents. Suitable reaction-inert organic solvents that may advantageously be employed include lower alkanols, e.g., methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol and the like; halogenated hydrocarbons, e.g., dichloromethane and trichloromethane; ethers, e.g. tetrahydrofuran, 2,2'-oxybispropane and the like; and mixture of such solvents.
The compounds of formula (I) wherein R.sup.2 is other than hydrogen, said R.sup.2 being represented by R.sup.2 and said compounds by the formula (I-a), can also be prepared starting from a corresponding compound (I) wherein R.sup.2 is hydrogen, (I-b), by introducing said R.sup.2 according to art-known procedures as previously described herein for the introduction of L into starting materials of formula (II). In a preferred method of operation (I-b) is reacted with an appropriate reactive ester R.sup.2 Y, (VI), wherein R.sup.2 and Y are as previously defined. The reaction is carried out under similar conditions as previously described herein for the reaction of (II) with (III). Since the compounds of formula (I-b) are somewhat less reactive it is advantageous to conduct the alkylation reaction in the presence of a small amount of a strong metal base such as, for example, sodium hydride.
The compounds of formula (I) wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are both different from hydrogen, said R.sup.1 being represented by R.sup.1 and said R.sup.2 by R.sup.2.sub.a can also be derived from the corresponding compounds wherein R.sup.1 is hydrogen by introducing the R.sup.1.sub.a -group in a similar manner as described hereinabove for the preparation of compound (I-b) starting from (I-a).
Following the procedure, described hereinabove for the preparation of compounds (I) starting from (V), the compounds of formula (I), wherein L represents a (1H-benzimidazol-2-ylamino)lower alkyl radical or a 1-(aryllower alkyl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-ylamino)lower alkyl radical (I-c), may even so be derived from the corresponding isothiocyanates (VII) by subjecting the latter to an addition-reaction with a benzenediamine (VIII) and subsequently cyclodesulfurizing the intermediately formed thiourea (IX).
The isothiocyanates (VII) may be prepared following art-known procedures for the preparation of isothiocyanates [see, for example, Saul Patal Ed. "The Chemistry of Cyanates and their Thioderivatives" John Wiley & Sons--Chichester--New York--Brisbane--Toronto (1977) p. 1013-1053], such as, for example by reacting the corresponding amine (VI) with carbon disulfide, preferably in the presence of alkali e.g., sodium hydroxide and the like, and decomposing the intermediately formed dithiocarbamate with for example N,N'-methanetetraylbis[cyclohexanamine], a lower alkyl chloroformate or another appropriate decomposing agent as known in the art.
The foregoing reactions are illustrated as follows: ##STR6##
The compounds of formula (I) wherein L represents a radical Z--C.sub.m H.sub.2m --, wherein Z represents a radical of the formula W--CO--(X).sub.s --, wherein s is 1, X is O and W is an optionally substituted amine, a 1-pyrrolidinyl, a 4-morpholinyl or a 1-piperidinyl radical, said compounds being represented by the formula (I-d), may be prepared by the reaction of the corresponding amine, pyrrolidine, morpholine or piperidine with an appropriate N-[1-(halolower alkyl)-4-piperidinyl]-1H-benzimidazol-2-amine in the presence of an appropriate carbonate, e.g. sodium carbonate and the like.
Compounds of formula (I) which contain at least one hydroxyl-group as a substituent can conveniently be derived from the corresponding phenylmethoxy substituted compounds by subjecting the latter to a catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of an appropriate catalyst, e.g., palladium-on-charcoal and the like. These hydroxyl-derivatives may even so be derived from the corresponding lower alkyloxy substituted analogs by hydrolyzing the latter in acidic medium, using for example hydrogen bromide in acetic acid. The hydroxyl-substituted compounds may in turn be O-alkylated or acylated by reacting the latter with a halide, an alkanoyl halide, an alkyloxycarbonyl halide, an isocyanate and the like. The hydroxyl-substituted compounds may also be converted into halides by reacting therewith a suitable halogenating agent, e.g. thionyl chloride, phosphor pentabromide and the like in the presence of an appropriate solvent, e.g., a trichloromethane and the like.
Amino-substituted compounds may, for example, be derived from the corresponding nitro- and cyano-substituted compounds by reducing the latter, e.g., by catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of an appropriate catalyst, such as, for example, Raney-nickel and the like. The amino-substituted compounds may in turn be N-alkylated or acylated by the reaction thereof with an appropriate alkylating agent or acylating agent, e.g., a halide, an alkanoyl halide, an alkoxycarbonyl halide, an isocyanate and the like.
Secondary and tertiary amino-substituted compounds of formula (I) may be prepared by substituting, for example, an appropriate halo-substituted compound with the desired primary or secondary amine.
Aminocarbonyl-substituted compounds may conveniently be derived from the corresponding esters by reacting the latter with ammonia or an appropriate primary-or a secondary amine in a suitable solvent.
Compounds of formula (I) which contain in their structure a sulfonyl group may easily be derived from the corresponding thio compounds by oxidizing the latter with an appropriate oxydizing agent, e.g. hydrogen peroxide and the like.
In all of the foregoing and in the following preparations, the reaction products may be isolated from the reaction mixture and, if necessary, further purified according to methodologies generally known in the art.
The compounds of formula (I) may be converted to the therapeutically active non-toxic acid addition salt form by treatment with an appropriate acid, such as, for example, an inorganic acid, such as hydrohalic acid, e.g., hydrochloric, hydrobromic and the like, and sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid and the like; or an organic acid, such as, for example, acetic, propanoic, 2-hydroxyacetic, 2-hydroxypropanoic, 2-oxopropanoic, propanedioic, butanedioic, (Z)-2-butenedioic, (E)-2-butenedioic, 2-hydroxybutanedioic, 2,3-dihydroxybutanedioic, 2-hydroxy-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylic, benzoic, 3-phenyl-2-propenoic, .alpha.-hydroxybenzeneacetic, methanesulfonic, ethanesulfonic, benzenesulfonic, 4-methylbenzenesulfonic, cyclohexanesulfamic, 2-hydroxybenzoic, 4-amino-2-hydroxybenzoic and the like acids. Conversely the salt form can be converted by treatment with alkali into the free base form.
The starting materials of formula (II) herein can generally be prepared starting from a thiourea derivative of the formula (X) wherein R, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and n are as previously defined and P is an appropriate protecting group such as, for example, lower alkyloxycarbonyl or phenylmethoxycarbonyl, by subjecting (X) to a cyclodesulfurization reaction to obtain an intermediate of the formula (XI) and thereafter eliminating the protecting group in the usual manner. ##STR7##
The cyclodesulfurization of (X) to obtain (XI) can be carried out in the same manner as previously described herein for the preparation of the compounds (I) starting from (V). In order to remove the protecting group P there may be used art-known procedures. For example, when said group is a lower alkyloxycarbonyl group it may be removed by alkaline or preferably acid hydrolysis, using for example, hydrobromic acid in glacial acetic acid, and when said protecting group is a phenylmethoxycarbonyl group it may be removed by alkaline or acid hydrolysis or by catalytic hydrogenation using an appropriate catalyst such as palladium-on-charcoal. Intermediates of formula (XI) wherein R.sup.2 is other than hydrogen can also be derived from the corresponding (XI) wherein R.sup.2 is hydrogen by introducing the desired R.sup.2 -substituent according to art-known methodologies as described hereinabove in connection with the preparation of compounds (I-a) starting from (I-b).
The thiourea derivatives of formula (X) wherein R.sup.1 represents hydrogen, (X-a), can be prepared by the reaction of an appropriate 4-isothiocyanatopiperidine of formula (XII) with an appropriate benzenediamine or pyridinediamine of formula (XIII), e.g., by simply stirring the reactants together in an appropriate organic solvent such as, for example, a lower alkanol, e.g. methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol and the like. ##STR8##
Thiourea derivatives of formula (X) wherein R.sup.1 is as previously defined and R.sup.2 is hydrogen, (X-b),), can be prepared by the reaction of an appropriate-4-piperidinamine of the formula (XIV) with an appropriate 1-isothiocyanato-2-nitrobenzene of the formula (XV), followed by the reduction of the nitro group of the thus obtained compound (XVI) following well-known nitro-to-amine reduction procedures such as for example by the reaction of (XVI) with nascent hydrogen or by catalytic hydrogenation using an appropriate catalyst such as, for example, palladium-on-charcoal, platinum-on-charcoal and the like, or in the presence of more than one of such catalysts. ##STR9##
The precursor materials of formula (XIV) herein may be prepared following methods known in the art, e.g., by the reductive amination of the corresponding 4-piperidinone. The 4-isothiocyanatopiperidines of formula (XII) may in turn be prepared starting from the corresponding (XIV) wherein R.sup.1 is hydrogen according to standard methods of preparing isothiocyanates starting from primary amines, e.g., by the reaction of the amine with carbon disulfide in alkaline medium and subsequent addition to the reaction mixture of an appropriate lower alkylcarbonochloridate.
The starting materials of formula (XII) wherein P represents a lower alkyloxycarbonyl or phenylmethoxycarbonyl group can also be prepared by the reaction of a corresponding starting material (XII) wherein said P represents phenylmethyl by reacting the latter with an appropriate carbonochloridate.
The starting materials of formula (V) can be prepared using similar procedures as described hereinabove for the preparation of the thiourea derivatives of formula (X) starting however from an appropriate 4-piperidinone or 4-piperidinamine wherein the L-substituent is already present on the piperidine nitrogen atom.
The ultimate starting materials in each of the foregoing preparations are known compounds or they may be prepared by the application of methodologies known in the art for preparing similar known compounds. The preparation of 4-(haloalkyl)-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-ones, for example, by the N-substitution-reaction of 2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one with a dihalolower alkyl group, is described in Belg. Pat. No. 859,415. 1,3-dihydro-1-(3-oxobutyl)-2H-benzimidazol-2-one (XIX) can be prepared by subjecting 1,3-dihydro-1-(1-methylethenyl)-2H-benzimidazol-2-one (XVII) and 3-buten-2-one to a Michael-addition procedure in the presence of a base such as, N,N-diethylethanamine and the like, and subsequently hydrolying the 1,3-dihydro-1-(1-methylethenyl)-3-(3-oxobutyl)-2H-benzimidazol-2-one (XVIII). ##STR10##
The intermediates of the formulae (II) and (XI) are deemed to be novel and in view of their utility as starting materials in the preparation of the pharmaceutically active compounds of formula (I) they constitute an additional feature of this invention.
The compounds of formula (I) and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts are potent antihistaminic agents and as such they can be used to prepare valuable medicaments for human and animal therapy. The useful antihistaminic proterties of the compounds of formula (I) were demonstrated in the following testprocedure.
PROTECTION OF RATS FROM COMPOUND 48/80-INDUCED LETHALITY.
Compound 48/80, a mixture of oligomers obtained by condensation of p-methoxy-N-methyl-phenethylamine and formaldehyde has been described as a potent histamine releasing agent (Int. Arch. Allergy, 13, 336 (1958)). The protection from compound 48/80-induced lethal circulatory collapse appears to be a simple way of evaluating quantitatively the antihistaminic activity of test-compounds. Male rats of an inbred Wistar strain, weighing 240-260 g were used in the experiment. After overnight starvation the rats were transferred to conditioned laboratories (temp.=21.+-.1.degree. C., relative humidity=65.+-.5%). The rats were treated subcutaneously or orally with a test compound or with the solvent (NaCl solution, 0.9%). One hour after treatment there was injected intravenously compound 48/80, freshly dissolved in water, at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg (0.2 ml/100 g of body weight). In control experiments, wherein 250 solvent-treated animals were injected with the standard dose of compound 48/80 not more than 2.8% of the animals survived after 4 hours. Survival after 4 hours is therefore considered to be a safe criterion of a protective effect of drug administration. The compounds of formula (I) and the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof were found very active in the above test, protecting the animals against compound 48/80-induced lethality at oral and subcutaneous doses not higher than 2.5 mg/kg. A number of the subject compounds were found effective even at doses as low as 0.16 mg/kg.
In view of their useful antihistaminic activity, the subject compounds may be formulated into various pharmaceutical forms for administration purposes. To prepare the pharmaceutical compositions of this invention, an effective antihistaminic amount of the particular compound, in base or acid-addition salt form, as the active ingredient is combined in intimate admixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, which carrier may take a wide variety of forms depending on the form of preparation desired for administration. These pharmaceutical compositions are desirably in unitary dosage form suitable, preferably, for administration orally, rectally or by parenteral injection. For example, in preparing the compositions in oral dosage form, any of the usual pharmaceutical media may be employed, such as, for example, water, glycols, oils, alcohols and the like in the case of oral liquid preparations such as suspensions, syrups, elixirs and solutions; or solid carriers such as starches, sugars, kaolin, lubricants, binders, disintegrating agents and the like in the case of powders, pills, capsules and tablets. Because of their ease in administration, tablets and capsules represent the most advantageous oral dosage unit form, in which case solid pharmaceutical carriers are obviously employed. For parenteral compositions, the carrier will usually comprise sterile water, at least in large part, though other ingredients, for example, to aid solubility, may be included. Injectable solutions, for example may be prepared in which the carrier comprises saline solution, glucose solution or a mixture of saline and glucose solution. Injectable suspensions may also be prepared in which case appropriate liquid carriers, suspending agents and the like may be employed. Acid addition salt of (I), due to their increased water solubility over the corresponding base form, are obviously more suitable in the preparation of aqueous compositions.
It is especially advantageous to formulate the aforementioned pharmaceutical compositions in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. Dosage unit form as used in the specification and claims herein refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active ingredient calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the required pharmaceutical carrier. Examples of such dosage unit forms are tablets (including scored or coated tablets), capsules, pills, powder packets, wafers, injectable solutions or suspensions, teaspoonfuls, tablespoonfuls and the like, and segregated multiples thereof.
The following examples are intended to illustrate and not to limit the scope of the present invention. Unless otherwise stated all parts therein are by weight.

A. PREPARATION OF INTERMEDIATES:
EXAMPLE I
A mixture of 102 parts of ethyl 4-oxo-1-piperidinecarboxylate, 50 parts of methanamine and 400 parts of methanol is hydrogenated at normal pressure and at room temperature with 5 parts of palladium-on-charcoal catalyst 10%. After the calculated amount of hydrogen is taken up, the catalyst is filtered off over Hyflo and the filtrate is evaporated, yielding 111 parts of ethyl 4-(methylamino)-1-piperidinecarboxylate as a residue.
To a stirred and cooled mixture of 4 parts of sodium hydroxide in 60 parts of water are added successively 7.9 parts of carbon disulfide and 17.2 parts of ethyl 4-amino-1-piperidinecarboxylate at a temperature below 10.degree. C. Stirring is continued for 30 minutes at this temperature. Then there are added dropwise 10.9 parts of ethyl carbonochloridate (exothermic reaction: temp. rises to about 35.degree. C.). Upon completion, stirring is continued for 2 hours at 60.degree. C. The reaction mixture is cooled and the product is extracted with methylbenzene. The extract is dried, filtered and evaporated, yielding 22 parts (100%) of ethyl 4-isothiocyanato-1-piperidinecarboxylate as a residue.
By repeating the procedure of the second step there are also prepared starting from an appropriate amine:
4-isothiocyanato-1-(phenylmethyl)piperidine; and
1-[4,4-bis(4-fluorophenyl)butyl]-4-isothiocyanatopiperidine; mp. 92.degree. C.
EXAMPLE II
To a stirred solution of 28.4 parts of 4-isothiocyanato-1-(phenylmethyl)piperidine in 315 parts of methylbenzene are added dropwise 41 parts of (phenylmethyl) carbonochloridate at room temperature. Upon completion, the whole is heated to reflux and stirring is continued overnight at reflux temperature. The reaction mixture is cooled and the solvent is evaporated. The residue is purified by column-chromatography over silica gel using trichloromethane as eluent. The pure fractions are collected and the eluent is evaporated, yielding 32 parts (97%) of (phenylmethyl) 4-isothiocyanato-1-piperidinecarboxylate as a residue.
EXAMPLE III
A mixture of 9.7 parts of 4-fluorobenzenemethanamine hydrochloride, 9.4 parts of 2-chloro-3-nitropyridine, 10.6 parts of sodium carbonate, 0.1 parts of potassium iodide and 90 parts of N,N-dimethylformamide is stirred for 1 hour at 90.degree.
