DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a new class of substituted polyamines which are useful as algae inhibitors and as broad spectrum antimicrobial agents, especially against gram-negative and anaerobic bacteria. The novel compounds of this invention have the structural formula: ##STR1## where:
Each A is alike or different and is substituted or unsubstituted [3.1.1] or [2.2.1] bicycloheptyl or bicyloheptenyl;
Each n is alike or different and is the integer 0 or 1;
Each R.sub.1 is alike or different and is C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkylene; ##STR2## where
R.sub.5 is hydrogen, aminoethyl, aminopropyl, C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 hydroxyalkyl, or C.sub.2 to C.sub.4 dihydroxyalkyl; and
R.sub.6 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 hydroxyalkyl or C.sub.2 to C.sub.4 dihydroxyalkyl;
Y is either ##STR3## or --R.sub.2 -- where
R.sub.2 is 2-hydroxy-1,3-trimethylene, or R.sub.1 as previously defined;
R.sub.3 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl, C.sub.2 to C.sub.4 aminoalkyl or C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 hydroxyalkyl, or C.sub.2 to C.sub.4 dihydroxyalkyl, e.g., 2,3-dihydroxypropyl and 3,4-dihydroxybutyl;
R.sub.4 is 2-hydroxy-1,3-trimethylene, or R.sub.1 as previously defined;
OR WHEN R.sub.3 and R.sub.6 taken together are ethylene, R.sub.4 is also ethylene, and R.sub.5 is aminoethyl, aminopropyl, or aminohydroxypropyl.
When A is [2.2.1] bicycloheptyl or bicycloheptenyl, it has the formula: ##STR4## where each R is alike or different and is C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl or hydrogen, R' is alike or different and is hydrogen or C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl or R' on adjacent carbon atoms can comprise an olefinic bond.
Generally, it is preferred that the sum of the number of carbon atoms in all the R and R' groups is ten or less. In most preferred embodiments R' and R are independently hydrogen or methyl and less than five of all of R' and R are methyl. In the most highly preferred embodiments each A is either 3,3-dimethylnorborn-2-yl or norborn-2-yl and R.sub.1 is ethylene.
When A is [3.1.1] bicycloheptyl or bicyclicheptenyl, it has the structural formula: ##STR5## where R is alike or different and is hydrogen or C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl and the dashed line indicates saturation or olefinic unsaturation either between the c- and d- or between the d- and e-positions, the bicyclo group being bonded to (R.sub.1).sub.n through the c-, d- or e-position of the ring. Preferred [3.1.1] bicyclic groups include those where R is methyl or hydrogen and no more than four R groups are methyl, such for examples, as 2-, 3-, and 4-norpinanyl; 2-, 3-, and 4-(2-norpinenyl); 2-, 3-, and 4-(6,6-dimethylnorpinanyl); 2- and 4-(3,6,6-trimethyl-2-norpinenyl); 3-(2,4,6,6-tetramethyl-2-norpinenyl); 3- and 4-pinanyl; 3- and 4-(2-pinenyl); and 3- and 4-(3-pinenyl).
The compounds of this invention are generally prepared according to the following sequence of reactions: ##STR6## where A, Z and n have their previously defined meanings, HX is a mono or polybasic organic or inorganic acid, where sufficient HX is provided to protonate at least one amino group of polyamine.
The preparation of polyamine I comprises the straightfoward Schiff base reaction of the appropriate ketone IV and the appropriate amine V followed by hydrogenation of the Schiff base VI to form polyamine I.
If amine V has more than one primary amino group, it can either be symmetrical or unsymmetrical. An amine V, which is a symmetrical amine, e.g., where R.sub.2 and R.sub.4 are alike when R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 are hydrogen; or where R.sub.2 and R.sub.4 are ethylene, R.sub.5 is aminoethyl, and R.sub.6 is hydrogen; or where R.sub.2 is trimethylene when R.sub.5 is 3-aminopropyl and R.sub.6 is hydrogen; forms a single Schiff base VI. This is because regardless of which terminal primary amino group of amine V reacts with ketone IV, the same product results. However, where amine V is unsymmetrical two products can result. One is Schiff base VI. The other products have, for example, the formula VI(a) when R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 are hydrogen; ##STR7## or, for example, the formula VI(b) when R.sub.5 is aminoethyl or aminopropyl: ##STR8## where A, R.sub.1-6 and n are as previously defined. Note that both products VI(a) and VI(b) come within the scope of the definition given for Schiff base VI. Where Schiff bases of formulas VI and VI(a) or VI(b) are produced they can be separated, if desired, by the usual and well known separation techniques, i.e., distillation and the like.
As an alternative to using an unsymmetrical amine V and obtaining a mixture of Schiff bases VI and VI(a) or VI(b), the reaction can be conducted stepwise. For example, 1,2-diaminoethane may be converted to a Schiff base with 1,5-di-(3,3-dimethylnorborn-2-yl)-3-pentanone, catalytically reduced, then the remaining primary amino nitrogen selectively cyanoethylated with acrylonitrile, followed by catalytic hydrogenation to furnish 1-[1,5-di-(3,3-dimethylnorborn-2-yl)-3-pentyl]-1,4,8-triazaoctane.
The availability and preparation of ketones IV are discussed in a later portion of this specification. Amines V are known and can conveniently be prepared. Some especially preferred methods of preparation include the condensation of acrylonitrile with ammonia followed by hydrogenation to obtain 3,3'-iminobispropylamine. Also, an N-alkylated trimethylenediamine may be reacted with epichlorohydrin and the resultant product converted with alcoholic ammonia to an N-alkylated-N'-(3-amino-2-hydroxypropyl)trimethylenediamine.
To prepare Schiff base VI, ketone IV and amine V are dissolved in a suitable inert solvent, for example, toluene, and heated to reflux, until reaction is substantially complete, 5 to 20 hours usually being sufficient for water removal by azeotropic distillation. The solvent is then removed under reduced pressure and the residue comprising the Schiff base VI is dissolved in an inert solvent preferably an alkanol, such as ethanol or isopropanol.
After dissolution, the Schiff base VI is catalytically or chemically reduced.
If reduction is catalytic, any unsaturated carbon to carbon bonds in A will also be reduced or hydrogenated, as well as the carbon to nitrogen bond of the Schiff base VI. In such catalytic reductions, hydrogen saturates an alkanol solution of Schiff base VI using agitation in the presence of the usual hydrogenation catalysts, such as transition metals and their reducible oxides. Especially effective catalysts are the noble metals and their oxides. A particularly preferred catalyst is platinum oxide. Generally, the hydrogenation reaction is carried out in a manner well known in the art. Small particles, e.g., 100-300 mesh of catalyst are admixed with the Schiff base and excess amine in alcohol and placed in a closed system pressurized with from 3-5 atmospheres of hydrogen gas. After reaction is complete, the pressure is released and the catalyst separated from the reaction mixture by filtration. The filtrate containing the bicycloheptyl polyamine I, is then further purified by usual techniques. Preferably, whatever solvent may be present is removed under reduced pressure, the residue then dissolved in diethylether, washed with water, followed by a further washing with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution. After drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate, the diethylether is removed by evaporation under reduced pressure giving the bicycloheptylpolyamine I usually as an oil. The bicycloheptylpolyamine may then be redissolved in loweralkanols, mixtures of loweralkanols and water diethylether, dioxane and then neutralized with an acid, e.g., hydrogen chloride, or neutralized directly with aqueous acids.
Acid addition salts are then isolated, if desired, by precipitation, evaporation or other usually employed techniques.
Suitable anions X for the salt I(a) include anions derived from inorganic acids as well as those or organic acids such for example as halide, e.g., chloride, bromide or iodide or sulfate, bisulfate, nitrate, phosphate, acetate, propionate, maleate, succinate, laurate, oleate, palmitate, stearate, ascorbate, gluconate, citrate, carbonate, bicarbonate, benzoate, salicylate, pamoate phthalate, furoate, picolinate, dodecylbenzenesulfonate, laurylethersulfate, nicotinate and the like. Generally, any anion derived from an acid is suitable and satisfactory when the polyamine salt anion X.sup.-, e.g., chloride is to be replaced with other anions by well known anion exchange techniques.
When preparing bicycloheptenylpolyamines, that is the product I where olefinic unsaturation in ring A is retained, a selective chemical rather than a catalytic reduction is employed to reduce Schiff base VI to product I.
In this chemically reductive procedure, the ketone IV is reacted with the appropriate amine as before, but the Schiff base VI dissolved in an inert alkanol or ether-type solvent is reacted with a chemical reductant such as sodium borohydride or lithium aluminum hydride, respectively. Although as little as an equivalent of the chemical reductant can be used successfully, more satisfactory results are obtained if at least two molar excess of and preferably at least a 2.5 molar excess of the chemical reductant is employed. After any initial reaction has subsided, the reaction mixture of Schiff base VI and reductant may be heated to reflux for an hour or two, then cooled to room temperature, and afterwards concentrated under vacuum. The residue obtained is then further purified as by treatment with mineral acid or inorganic base as was described for bicycloheptylpolyamines I and the salt may thereafter be formed as previously described.
The bicycloheptyl and bicycloheptenyl ketones IV are prepared by four alternative methods, which are set forth below as (A) through (D).
A. The Condensation of Acids -- This method involves the following reaction scheme: ##STR9##
Acylative decarboxylation of acids VII is employed by heating the acid at elevated temperatures either with transition metals, preferably iron, transition metal oxides, alkaline earth oxides, with polyphosphoric acid or with boron trifluoride. Most suitably, acylative reaction is achieved by passage of acid vapors over catalysts such as heated thoria aerogel.
Condensation-decarboxylation of an acid is the preferred method for preparing ketone IV when each A-(R.sub.1).sub.n group is alike, a mixture of products being obtained when several different acids are combined in a reaction. The preferred reaction comprises admixing carboxylic acid VII with reduced iron powder and stirring in an inert atmosphere at 195.degree. C. to 200.degree. C. for 1-6 hours to form an iron salt.
Preferably, the carboxylic acid VII and iron are agitated under an inert atmosphere of nitrogen for at least 2 hours at 195.degree. C. to 200.degree. C.
After 2 hours, the temperature is increased suitably to 290.degree. C. to 295.degree. C. and agitation continued for at least another three hour period, four hours usually being sufficient. The reaction mixture is allowed to cool, and then is extracted with a suitable inert solvent such as diethylether and filtered. The solvent extracts are concentrated under reduced pressure. The residual liquid is distilled under vacuum to isolate the ketone IV.
The carboxylic acids VII employed above are prepared by various means well known in the art. One particularly useful technique is the addition of [2.2.1] bicycloheptenes, such for example, either camphene, isocamphodiene, .beta.-fenchene, norbornylene, santene and the like to an aliphatic acid anhydride.
In this procedure, a mixture of the bicyclicheptene and a catalytic quantity, e.g., 0.2-0.3 mole for each mole of terpene of a free radical-forming catalyst, such as di-tert-butyl peroxide, is added dropwise over 3-5 hours to a 5-15 molar excess of refluxing aliphatic acid anhydride. After complete addition, the reaction is heated at reflux for 5-10 hours, concentrated under reduced pressure and the liquid residue is mixed with aqueous sodium hydroxide and stirred with heating on a steam bath for about 2-5 hours. The cooled alkaline solution is then extracted with ether, the ether layer is discarded and the aqueous solution acidified, and then extracted well with ether. The combined ether extracts are washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residual liquid or solid is distilled under vacuum to give the corresponding carboxylic acid, VII.
Other carboxylic acids are readily obtained, for example, by the Diels-Alder reation of cyclopentadiene and alkyl substituted cyclopentadiene with various unsaturated carboxylic acids, as are later referred to in greater detail.
Another useful general procedure for this synthesis of the bicyclo [2.2.1] heptyl substituted alkanoic acid compounds utilizes the free radical catalyzed addition of methyl or ethyl alkanoate to unsaturated bicyclo [2.2.1] heptenes. The free radical catalysis is obtained with, for example, di-t-butyl peroxide which predominantly abstracts a carbonyl-adjacent hydrogen from the alkyl alkanoate [D. J. Trecker and R. S. Foote, J. Org. Chem., 33, 3527-34 (1968)]. Addition of the resultant free radical to the olefinic terpene provides the corresponding esters. Usual hydrolysis procedures, e.g., dilute aqueous sodium hydroxide result in alcohol liberation.
B. Condensation of a Grignard and a Nitrile
Disubstituted bicycloheptyl or bicycloheptenyl alkanones can also be obtained according to the following reaction scheme. ##STR10## where (R.sub.1).sub.n of each reactant may be the same or different
In the preparation of di-(substituted bicycloheptyl)alkanones a general procedure utilizes the reaction of a Grignard reagent prepared from a chloro- or bromo-substituted alkylbicyclo [2.2.1] heptane with a cyanosubstituted alkyl bicyclo [2.2.1] heptane. The resultant disubstituted iminoalkane salt complex is hydrolyzed with mineral acid to the corresponding ketone.
The Grignard reagent is obtained by reaction of the halide with magnesium metal, usually in the form of turnings or powder and catalyzed by very small concentrations of iodine or methyl iodide. Solvents which are useful include diethyl ether, dibutyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane and benzene. Usually, gentle warming suffices to initiate the reaction and the halide is gradually added to the metal-solvent mixture. After complete addition the disappearance of practically all magnesium metal signifies the end of the reaction. A small excess of metal is used and moisture must be excluded; a nitrogen atmosphere is beneficial. The nitrile in two to three times it volume of solvent is then added to the Grignard reagent over a period of 15 minutes to 1 hour at ambient temperature. The reaction mixture may then be heated to reflux to insure complete reaction. Generally, a small excess of Grignard reagent as compared to nitrile is employed. From 1 to 10 hours at reflux is sufficient for complete conversion. The resultant imine salt is preferably decomposed to the ketone with aqueous mineral acids such as hydrochloric, sulfuric and phosphoric. The ketones are water-insoluble and may be extracted with water-immiscible solvents. Purification is preferably accomplished by fractional distillation under reduced pressure. It is feasible to use the crude ketone reaction mixture for the alkylation of polyamines as the reaction by-products are usually alcohols or hydrocarbons and do not react with amines. The reactant halides, if present in the crude product, should be removed prior to the ketone-amine alkylation process.
The concentrations of Grignard reagent and nitrile may be varied over wide limits for securing good yields in the process.
The halide and cyano, as well as carboxylic derivatives of bicycloheptanes and bicycloheptenes, are commonly available and have been derived from such bicycloheptanes and bicycloheptenes as norcamphane, apocamphane, camphane, .alpha.-fenchane, santane, camphenilane, .alpha.-fenchene, isocamphane, .beta.-fenchane, norbornylene, apobornylene, bornylene, .delta.-fenchene, camphenilene, .gamma.-fenchene, santene, .epsilon.-fenchene, norpinane, 2-norpinane, 6,6-dimethylnorpinane, 6,6-dimethyl-2-norpinane, orthodene, homopinene, pinane, .alpha.-pinene, .beta.-pinene, and the like.
Where these carboxylic, cyano, or halo derivatives are not readily available they may be synthesized by known techniques. For example, the Diels-Alder condensation as reported in U.S. Pat. No. 3,595,917 and Newer Methods of Preparative Organic Chemistry, K. Alder Interscience, New York, New York, 1948, pages 381-456, e.g., ##STR11## where D is R, --(R.sub.1).sub.n --COOH, --(R.sub.1).sub.n --X, or --(R.sub.1).sub.n --CN and where R.sub.1, R, and X have their previous meanings. Where D is R and each R is alkyl, the resulting bicycloheptene can be reacted with an aliphatic acid anhydride as previously described.
c. The Reaction of Acid Halides and Malonic Esters
The third alternative method for preparing ketones IV employs the reaction scheme: ##STR12## where A, R.sub.1, and n have their previous meanings and R' is C.sub.1 to C.sub.3 alkylene.
The bicyclo [2.2.1] heptylsubstituted malonic esters are prepared by way of example either from cyclopentadienes and alkenyl substituted malonic esters followed by catalytic hydrogenation of the resultant heptene derivatives to heptanes or by alkylation of malonic ester with a halogen-substituted bicyclo [2.2.1] heptane, the halogen preferably chlorine or bromine attached directly to the ring or as part of an alkyl substituent.
The sodio derivative IX of t-butyl malonic ester is prepared by adding a slight molar excess of sodium hydride to a solution of the malonic ester VIII in an inert solvent such as anhydrous benzene. Reaction is effected by heating suitably to 60.degree. C. to 80.degree. C. with agitation until hydrogen gas evolution ceases, the reaction system being protected from atmospheric moisture. A solution of an equimolar quantity of acid halide X using sufficient anhydrous benzene to just dissolve the acid halide is added and the reaction heated at reflux for about 5-20 minutes. The mixture is cooled and any excess sodium hydride is destroyed by the addition of anhydrous p-toluene sulfonic acid. The reaction mixture is clarified by filtration and stripped of solvent under reduced pressure. The residue is dissolved in glacial acetic acid containing 0.3%-0.5% by weight anhydrous p-toluene sulfonic acid and approximately 2% by volume of acetic anhydride. The solution is heated to reflux for about an hour than cooled to room temperature. The solution is then poured over ice, neutralized with aqueous sodium hydroxide and the crude ketone IV product extracted with diethyl ether. The ether solution is washed with water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and stripped of solvent.
D. Condensation of a Ketone with a Ketone or Aldehyde and Subsequent Reduction
A fourth method for preparing ketone IV employs the condensation of a ketone and a ketone or aldehyde according to the following reaction scheme: ##STR13## where A is alike or different and A, R.sub.1, R and n have their previous definitions, and R* is independently methyl, ethyl or hydrogen.
The reaction comprises mixing the ketone XIV with a molar equivalent or slight excess of aldehyde or ketone XV with agitation and cooling in the presence of catalytic amounts of sodium methylate. The reaction mixture now is maintained at 40.degree. C.-55.degree. C. for about 4-10 hours and then cooled at ambient temperature. The reaction mixture is acidified and after stripping the solvent under reduced pressure, the residue is extracted with diethyl ether. The ether extracts are washed with water and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent is then stripped under reduced pressure.
The residue XVI is dissolved in thiophene-free benzene and shaken under a pressure of 3-5 atmospheres of hydrogen in the presence of a noble metal catalyst on carbon at 20.degree. C.-30.degree. C. The catalyst is then removed by filtration and the solvent removed. The residue is IV which can be further purified by the usual techniques.
Once the ketone IV is obtained it can then be reacted with a suitable polyamine V. Polyamines V which are exceptionally suitable for reaction with ketone IV include diethylenetriamine, triethylenetetramine, 3,3'-iminobis(propylamine), 3,3'-methyliminobis-(propylamine), dipropylenetriamine, N,N'-bis-(3-aminopropyl)-1,3-trimethylenediamine, N,N'-bis-(2-aminoethyl)-1,3-trimethylenediamine, N,N'-bis(3-aminopropyl)piperazine, N-(2-aminoethyl)-1,3-trimethylenediamine, spermidine, spermine, 1,4-bis-(2-aminoethyl)piperazine, tris-(2-aminoethyl)amine, 1-(2-aminoethyl)-4-(3-aminopropyl)piperazine, 1-(3-amino-2-hydroxypropyl)-4-(2-aminoethyl)piperazine, N-(3-amino-2-hydroxypropyl)-1,3-trimethylenediamine, 1-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-1,5,9-triazanonane, 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazadecane, 4-(3,4-dihydroxybutyl)-1,4,8-triazaoctane, 1-(2-hydroxypropyl)-5-hydroxymethyl-1,5,9-triazanonane, and tris-(3-aminopropyl)-amine, ethylenediamine, trimethylenediamine, and 1,3-diamino-2-hydroxypropane.
Substituted bicycloheptanes which are obtained in the several syntheses routes described herein may be in exo and endo isomer configurations and generally are mixtures of both. Many factors enter into the actual ratio of isomers formed and these can be temperature, solvents, steric effects, equilibration conditions, nature of substituents and others. However, it appears that the utility of the products of this invention is served without the necessity for strictly controlling the isomer composition. The content of a product mixture may be determined by vapor or liquid phase chromatography, NMR spectral analysis, fractional distillation and other methods. It is also possible to isolate pure isomers by selection of these and other separation techniques well known in the art.

The following specific examples are further illustrative of our invention, but should not be construed as any limitation on the compound presented in formula I or the appended claims.
EXAMPLE A
Preparation of 5-Norbornen-2-Butyric Acid

After complete addition, the mixture is heated at reflux for five hours. The cooled reaction mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure to leave a yellow-orange residual oil, 750 ml. of 2.5N NaOH is added to the residue which is then heated on the steam bath for one hour. The cooled solution is extracted once with ether, made acidic with concentrated HCl, and extracted thoroughly with ether. The dried (Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4) ether extracts are concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue distilled under vacuum to give a colorless product, 35.5 g. (20%), b.p. 120.degree.-124.degree.

The autoclave is purged with nitrogen and then rocked at 140.degree. C. for 12 hours.

An Ascarite drying tube is attached to the reflux condenser. Reaction is effected by heating at 80.degree. C. with stirring until hydrogen gas evolution ceases (approximately 21/2 hours). A solution of 16 gms. of bicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ylcarboxylic acid chloride in 30 ml. of anhydrous benzene is then added and the reaction conducted at reflux for about 10 minutes. The mixture is cooled to room temperature and the excess sodium hydride destroyed by the addition of 0.9 g. of anhydrous p-toluene sulfonic acid. The mixture is clarified by filtration and the filtrate stripped of solvent under reduced pressure. The residue is dissolved in 75 ml. of glacial acetic acid containing 0.3 g. of anhydrous p-toluene sulfonic acid and 2% of acetic anhydride by volume. The solution is heated at reflux for 1 hour, cooled to room temperature, poured over crushed ice, neutralized by the addition of 5% sodium hydroxide solution and the product extracted with diethyl ether. The ether solution is washed with water dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and stripped of solvent. The residue is essentially pure 2-(bicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ylacetyl)-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane.
Under the same reaction conditions, the following ketones are obtained.
1-[3-methylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl]-6-[3,3-dimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl]hexan-3-one from 3-methylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ylmethylmalonic ester and 4-[3,3-dimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl]butyric acid chloride and 1-[5,6-diethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl]-4-[1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl]butan-2-one from 5,6-diethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ylacetyl chloride and 1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ylmethylmalonic ester.

In a like manner and using analogous quantities, but employing N,N-di-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)trimethylenediamine and 1,1,5-tri-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-1,5,9-triazanonane instead of 3,3'-(2,3-dihydroxypropylimino)bispropylamine there are prepared respectively N-[1,5-di-(2-norbornyl)-3-pentyl]-N'-di-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)trimethylenediamine, and 1-[1,5-di-(2-norbornyl)-3-pentyl]-5-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-9,9-di-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-1,5,9-triazanonane.
EXAMPLE 6
Preparation of 1-[1,5-Di-(2-norbornyl)-3-pentyl]-5-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-9-(1,3-dihydroxyl-2-propyl)-1,5,9-triazanonane
1-[1,5-Di-(2-norbornyl)-3-pentyl]-5-(2,3-di-hydroxypropyl)-1,5,9-triazanonane (5.2 g., 0.001 mole) and 1,3-dihydroxyacetone (9 g., 0.1 mole) in 100 ml. of chloroform was heated at reflux with a water separator connected until 1.8 ml. of water was collected (8-12 hours). The chloroform and excess 1,3-dihydroxyacetone were removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The residual oil was taken up in 75 ml. of ethanol, mixed with 1 gm. of platinum oxide and hydrogenated at 40 psi hydrogen pressure with shaking at room temperature. The catalyst was removed by filtration and ethyl alcohol by distillation to leave an oil. The product could be purified by column chromatography using silica gel and development with methyl alcohol containing ammonium hydroxide.
In an analogous manner but starting with N-[1,7-di-(3,3-dimethylnorborn-2-yl)-4-heptyl]ethylenediamine, instead of 1-[1,5-di-(2-norbornyl)-3-pentyl]-1,5,9-triazanonane there is obtained N-[1,7-di-(3,3-dimethylnorborn-2-yl)-4-heptyl]-N'-(1,3-dihydroxy-2-propyl)ethylenediamine.
EXAMPLE 7
1-[1,7-Di-(2-norbornyl)-4-heptyl]-4,8,8-tri-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-1,4,8-triazaoctane
1-[1,7-Di-(2-norbornyl)-4-heptyl]-1,4,8-triazaoctane (4.1 g., 0.01 mole) was dissolved in 50 ml. of methanol and heated under reflux with agitation. Glycidol (15 g., 0.2 mole) was added dropwise over a period of 1.5 to 2 hours. After complete addition, the reaction mixture was stirred an additional two hours at 90.degree.-100.degree. C. The methyl alcohol was removed by stripping under reduced pressure and excess glycidol by distillation at 1 mm pressure. The residue could be further purified by conversion to the trihydrochloride salt in ethyl alcohol with dry hydrogen chloride and fractional crystallization. The free base may then be liberated from its salt by resin ion exchange or neutralization with aqueous sodium hydroxide.
In an analogous manner using the following di-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptyl polyamines, there are obtained the following products.

EXAMPLE 8
1-Amino-3-[1,5-di-(3,3-dimethylnorborn-2-yl)-3-pentylamino]-2-propanol
A solution of 1,5-di-(3,3-dimethylnorborn-2-yl)-3-pentanone (13.2 g., 0.04 mole) in 50 cc of anhydrous ethanol is added dropwise over about 20 minutes to a stirred solution of 1,3-diamino-2-hydroxypropane (25 g., 0.27 mole) in 200 cc of ethanol. The resulting mixture is then heated at reflux for about two hours, allowed to cool, 1.0 g. platinum oxide added, and the mixture reduced under a 40 psi hydrogen atmosphere until hydrogen uptake ceases. The mixture is then filtered from the catalyst, concentrated in vacuo to remove the ethanol, the oily residue taken up in ether (250 cc.), washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to yield the product 1-amino-3-[1,5-di-(3,3-dimethylnorborn-2-yl)-3-pentylamino]-2-propanol as a pale yellow oil.
Preparation of the dipropionate is carried out as for the tripropionate in Example 1 using 2 moles of propionic acid per mole of free diamine. Concentration of the ether solution yields the dipropionate as a very viscous oil.
Preparation of the dihydrochloride is achieved by adding to an ether solution of the free amine an excess of isopropanol saturated with anhydrous hydrogen chloride, or by bubbling into an ether-isopropanol solution of the amine dry hydrogen chloride until the solution is saturated. Excess ether is boiled away, fresh isopropanol added, boiled away to a small volume whereby an oil separates. The solvent is decanted from the oil, the oil admixed with a small amount of fresh ether, diluted with isopropanol, the volatiles boiled away until the cleaner oil separates again, and the process repeated. The oil is then rinsed with isopropanol, dissolved in ether, filtered and concentrated to an oil and allowed o solidify, m.p. 236.degree.-237.degree. C.
Also each of the respective ketones IV set forth in Examples C, D, E and F when reacted with each of the individual amines set forth in this specification, firstly, according to the method set forth in Example 1, and then secondly according to Example 3 produces the entire range of compounds described according to this invention as embodied in Formula I.
The polyamines described herein are excellent broad spectrum antimicrobial agents which are especially effective against gram positive and negative bacteria, particularly the troublesome gram-negative of the genus Pseudomonas at aqueous concentrations of 1.0 to 100 ppm. Examples of susceptible species include, inter alia, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Bordetella bronchiseptica, Pasteurella multocida, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, S. pullorum, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Aerobacter aerogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Desulfovibrio desulfuricans, Bacillus mycoides, fungi such as Aspergillus niger and Chaetomium globosum. For use, these compounds can be applied neat or employed in a diluted form. Satisfactory diluents include any inert material not destructive of the antimicrobial activity and especially liquid formulations comprising aqueous dispersions, solutions, and emulsions. Solid diluents include talc, corn starch, alumina and diatomaceous earth. The antimicrobial agents of this invention can also be deposed on materials such as natural fibers including paper, cotton, wool and synthetic fibers such as nylon, polypropylene, as well as upon inanimate surfaces including hard surfaces such as wood, glass, metal, tile, rubber, plastic, and porous surfaces such as concrete, leather and the like.
The polyamines of this invention are especially useful in suppressing the growth of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria in fluids employed in cutting and grinding operations, such as metal working, and oil well drilling muds or secondary oil recovery waters and brines. Anaerobes such as the sulfate-reducer, Desulfovibrio desulfuricans, are inhibited at 0.1-10 ppm. concentration of these polyamines. Suppression of these bacteria eliminates hydrogen sulfide production and corrosion of equipment, plugging of oil-bearing sands, malodors and other deleterious actions. These compounds are also useful in the preservation against biodeterioration of other aqueous systems such as aqueous emulsions and dispersions, paints or coatings, pigment suspensions, adhesives and the like where proliferation of microorganisms can produce colloid breakdown, pH shifts, malodors, corrosive substances, viscosity loss and other undesirable effects.
One particularly useful application of the compounds of this invention is imparting sanitizing properties to fabrics, either woven or non-woven, launderable or disposable which are to be employed, such for example, as diapers, surgical masks, caps, gowns, towels and drapes, covers for hospital furniture and instrument wrappings, aseptic facial tissues and sanitary napkins and bathroom tissue. In this application, the compounds of Formula I can be applied to the fibrous pulp before extracting or strand or thread formation or it can be sprayed upon the finished goods. Either deposition technique is satisfactory so long as from 1 .times. 10.sup.-4 % or more by weight of the antimicrobial material is retained on the cloth. Greater than 0.1% to 1% by weight is generally excessive and superfluous.
Another application is alone or in solution or suspension or in conjunction with soaps or detergents for use in cleansing the skin, particularly in presurgical scrubbing formulations, or in formulations for controlling the growth of Corynebacterium acnes. C. acnes is a strain of bacteria implicated in acne conditions, especially Acne vulgaris, wherein applications of as little as 1 to 5 ppm. is effective in controlling such skin dwelling bacteria. Larger concentrations can be used if desired without irritation or discomfort such as 2500 ppm and higher. Where the cleansing formulation is diluted with water upon use, the formulation can comprise from 0.01% by weight and more of the polyamine of this invention.
In addition, the compounds described herein can be employed in impounded water, such as swimming pools, ponds or industrially-used water such as papermill water to inhibit growth of undesirable bacteria, fungi, and/or algae at levels as low as 0.5-5 ppm.
In the control of slime-producing microorganisms and algae in recirculating industrial waters, particularly cooling operations and especially installations such as cooling towers, the polyamine compounds of this invention are usually employed alone, but can also be used in combination with other antimicrobial agents. The compounds are preferably employed as salts to enhance solubility. Concentrations in the recirculating water of as little as 1 .times. 10.sup.-4 % by weight are effective in inhibiting microbial growth. To insure effectiveness, especially against more resistant strains of microorganisms, and also when make-up water is added to replace water lost by evaporation and the like, concentrations of from 1 .times. 10.sup.-4 % to 5 .times. 10.sup.-2 % by weight are most satisfactory. Dosage may be continuous or as intermittent "shock treatment", i.e., addition in a 10-20 minute period every 4-8 hours.
An unusual, highly advantageous property of these compounds is high substantivity to all kinds of surfaces; this provides protection against corrosion and acts as a storage depot for continuously dosing the waters in contact. The same properties also are largely responsible for the previously stated utility as disinfectants for inanimate surfaces comprising walls and ceilings, equipment, animal pens, hospital facilities, kitchens and bathrooms and the like.
In formulating the compounds of this invention for the above uses, these compounds can be employed in combination with other antimicrobial agents, surfactants, insecticides, defoamers, odorants, or as chelates of metals such as copper, calcium, magnesium and iron.
