Platelet activating antagonists

TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to compounds having pharmacological activity, to compositions containing these compounds, and to a medical method of treatment employing the compounds and compositions. More particularly, this invention concerns certain pyridylthiazolidine compounds and their salts which have platelet activating factor (PAF) antagonist activity, to pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds, and to a method of treating PAF-mediated disorders.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Platelet activating factor (PAF) is a phospholipid released from human and other animal cells and is an acetylglyceryl ether of phosphorylcholine as represented by the following formula: ##STR1## where n is 15 or 17.
PAF is physiologically active and causes contraction of the airway smooth muscle, increased vascular permeability, platelet aggregation, hypotension and the like. It is now recognized as a powerful mediator of inflammation and may play a physiological or pathobiologic role in a variety of clinical conditions, such as asthma and pulmonary dysfunction, acute inflammation, transplanted organ rejection, endotoxin and IgG-induced shock, thrombosis, cardiac anaphylaxis, gastrointestinal ulceration, allergic skin diseases, retinal and corneal diseases, chemically induced liver cirrhosis, and ovimplantation in pregnancy.
Several anti-PAF agonists have been reported (e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,948,795, European Patent Application EP 279681, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,786,645) but none have received wide acceptance. Therefore, there is a continuing need for the development of potent, orally active antagonists of PAF which have low toxicity.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides, in its principal aspect, compounds having PAF antagonist activity of the formula: ##STR2## where R is B where B is ##STR3## in which A is methylene or carbonyl, X is sulfur, or NR.sup.5 where R.sup.5 is hydrogen, alkyl of from one to six carbon atoms, alkoyl of from one to six carbon atoms, alkylsulfonyl of from one to six carbon atoms, or --C(O)NR.sup.6 R.sup.7 where R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 are independently selected from hydrogen and alkyl of from one to six carbon atoms. The group Y is sulfur or methylene.
Alternatively, R is selected from (a) hydrogen; (b) alkyl of from one to six carbon atoms; (c) --C(O)NR.sup.6 R.sup.7 where R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 are as previously defined; (d) --C(O)OR.sup.8 where R.sup.8 is alkyl of from one to six carbon atoms, phenyl, optionally substituted with alkyl of from one to six carbon atoms, alkoxy of from one to six carbon atoms, or halogen; phenylalkyl in which the alkyl portion contains from one to four carbon atoms, and phenylalkyl optionally substituted with alkyl of from one to six carbon atoms, alkoxy of from one to six carbon atoms, or halogen; (e) --C(O)R.sup.9 where R.sup.9 is hydrogen or alkyl of from one to six carbon atoms; (f) alkylsulfonyl of from one to six carbon atoms; (g) phenylsulfonyl, optionally substituted with alkyl of from one to six carbon atoms; (h) phenylalkyl in which the alkyl portion contains from one to six carbon atoms; and (i) benzoyl, optionally substituted with halogen, alkyl of from one to six carbon atoms, or alkoxy of from one to six carbon atoms.
R.sup.1 is hydrogen or B with the proviso that one of R or R.sup.1 is B, but R and R.sup.1 are not both B.
R.sup.2 is selected from hydrogen or alkyl of from one to six carbon atoms.
R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are independently selected from the group consisting of (a) hydrogen; (b) halogen; (c) alkyl of from one to six carbon atoms; (d) alkoxy of from one to six carbon atoms; (e) alkoyl of from one to six carbon atoms; (f) cyano; (g) phenylalkoxy in which the alkoxy portion contains from one to six carbon atoms; (h) phenoxy; and (i) benzoyl, optionally substituted with alkyl of from one to six carbon atoms, alkoxy of from one to six carbon atoms, or halogen.
The pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and individual stereoisomers of compounds of structural formula I above, as well as mixtures thereof, are also contemplated as falling within the scope of the present invention.
In another aspect, the present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions useful for the treatment of PAF-mediated disorders comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula I above in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
In another aspect, the present invention provides a method of inhibiting PAF activity by administering to a host mammal in need of such treatment a PAF-inhibiting effective amount of a compound of structure I above.
In yet another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of treating PAF-mediated disorders including asthma, anaphylactic shock, respiratory distress syndrome, acute inflammation, delayed cellular immunity, parturition, fetal lung maturation, and cellular differentiation by administering to a host mammal in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of structure I above.

The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" refers to the relatively non-toxic, inorganic and organic acid addition salts of compounds of the present invention. These salts can be prepared in situ during the final isolation and purification of the compounds or by separately reacting the purified compound in its free base form with a suitable organic or inorganic acid and isolating the salt thus formed. Representative salts include the hydrobromide, hydrochloride, sulfate, bisulfate, phosphate, nitrate, acetate, oxalate, valerate, oleate, palmitate, stearate, laurate, borate, benzoate, lactate, phosphate, tosylate, citrate, maleate, fumarate, succinate, tartrate, naphthylate, mesylate, glucoheptonate, lactiobionate, laurylsulphonate salts and the like. (See, for example S. M. Berge, et al., "Pharmaceutical Salts," J. Pharm. Sci., 66: 1-19 (1977) which is incorporated herein by reference.)
Individual enantiomeric forms of compounds of the present invention can be separated from mixtures thereof by techniques well known in the art. For example, a mixture of diastereomeric salts may be formed by reacting the compounds of the present invention with a optically pure form of an acid, followed by purification of the mixture of diastereomers by recrystallization or chromatography and subsequent recovery of the resolved compound from the salt by basification. Alternatively, the optical isomers of the compounds of the present invention can be separated from one another by chromatographic techniques employing separation on an optically active chromatographic medium.
The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions which comprise one or more of the compounds of formula I above formulated together with one or more nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. The pharmaceutical compositions may be specially formulated for oral administration in solid or liquid form, for parenteral injection, or for rectal administration.
The pharmaceutical compositions of this invention can be administered to humans and other animals orally, rectally, parenterally, intracisternally, intravaginally, intraperitoneally, topically (as by powders, ointments, or drops), bucally, or as an oral or nasal spray. The term "parenteral" administration as used herein refers to modes of administration which include intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intrasternal, subcutaneous and intraarticular injection and infusion.
Pharmaceutical compositions of this invention for parenteral injection comprise pharmaceutically acceptable sterile aqueous or nonaqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions as well as sterile powders for reconstitution into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions just prior to use. Examples of suitable aqueous and nonaqueous carriers, diluents, solvents or vehicles include water, ethanol, polyols (such as glycerol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and the like), and suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils (such as olive oil), and injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate. Proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of coating materials such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersions, and by the use of surfactants.
These compositions may also contain adjuvants such as perservative, wetting agents, emulsifying agents, and dispersing agents. Prevention of the action of microorganisms may be ensured by the inclusion of various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, paraben, chlorobutanol, phenol sorbic acid, and the like. It may also be desirable to include isotonic agents such as sugars, sodium chloride, and the like. Prolonged absorption of the injectable pharmaceutical form may be brought about by the inclusion of agents which delay absorption such as aluminum monostearate and gelatin.
In some cases, in order to prolong the effect of the drug, it is desirable to slow the absorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution which, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered drug form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle.
Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsule matrices of the drug in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending upon the ratio of drug to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of drug release can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides) Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the drug in liposomes or microemulsions which are compatible with body tissues.
The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium just prior to use.
Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound is mixed with at least one inert, pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate and/or a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid, b) binders such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidone, sucrose, and acacia, c) humectants such as glycerol, d) disintegrating agents such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate, e) solution retarding agents such as paraffin, f) absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds, g) wetting agents such as, for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate, h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay, and i) lubricants such as talc, calcium sterate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage form may also comprise buffering agents.
Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hardfilled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like.
The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. They may optionally contain opacifying agents and can also be of a composition that they release the active ingredients(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions which can be used include polymeric substances and waxes.
The active compounds can also be in micro-encapsulated form, if appropriate, with one or more of the above-mentioned excipients.
Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. In addition to the active compounds, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethyl formamide, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof.
Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions can also include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.
Suspensions, in addition to the active compounds, may contain suspending agents as, for example, ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols, polyoxyethylene sorbitol and sorbitan esters, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum methydroxide, bentonite, agar-agar, and tragacanth, and mixtures thereof.
Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are preferably suppositories which can be prepared by mixing the compounds of this invention with suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol or a suppository wax which are solid at room temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active compound.
Compounds of the present invention can also be administered in the form of liposomes. As is known in the art, liposomes are generally derived from phospholipids or other lipid substances. Liposomes are formed by mono- or multi-lamellar hydrated liquid crystals that are dispersed in an aqueous medium. Any non-toxic, physiologically acceptable and metabolizable lipid capable of forming liposomes can be used. The present compositions in liposome form can contain, in addition to a compound of the present invention, stabilizers, preservatives, excipients, and the like. The preferred lipids are the phospholipids and the phosphatidyl cholines (lecithins), both natural and synthetic.
Methods to form liposomes are known in the art. See, for example, Prescott, Ed., Methods in Cell Biology, Volume XIV, Academic Press, New York, N.Y. (1976), p. 33 et seq.
Dosage forms for topical administration of a compound of this invention include powders, sprays, ointments and inhalants. The active compound is mixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and any needed preservatives, buffers, or propellants which may be required. Opthalmic formulations, eye ointments, powders and solutions are also contemplated as being within the scope of this invention.
Actual dosage levels of active ingredients in the pharmaceutical compositions of this invention may be varied so as to obtain an amount of the active compound(s) that is effective to achieve the desired therapeutic response for a particular patient, compositions, and mode of administration. The selected dosage level will depend upon the activity of the particular compound, the route of administration, the severity of the condition being treated, and the condition and prior medical history of the patient being treated. However, it is within the skill of the art to start doses of the compound at levels lower than required for to achieve the desired therapeutic effect and to gradually increase the dosage until the desired effect is achieved.
Generally dosage levels of about 0.001 to about 100, more preferably of about 0.01 to about 20, and most preferably about 0.1 to about 10 mg of active compound per kilogram of body weight per day are administered orally to a mammalian patient. If desired, the effective daily dose may be divided into multiple doses for purposes of administration, e.g. two to four separate doses per day.
In general, the compounds of this invention are synthesized by reaction schemes I though XII as illustrated below. It should be understood that that X, Y, A, R.sub.1, and R.sub.2 as used herein correspond to the groups identified by Formula I.
The compounds of Formula (I) may be prepared using the reactions and techniques described in this section. The reactions are performed in a solvent appropriate to the reagents and materials employed and suitable for the transformation being effected. It is understood by those skilled in the art of organic synthesis that the functionality present on the heterocycle and other portions of the molecule must be consistent with the chemical transformation proposed. This will frequently necessitate judgement as to the order of synthetic steps, protecting groups required and deprotection conditions. ##STR6##

This dithiol (15) is condensed with 3-pyridine carboxaldehyde in the presence of an acid catalyst, preferably p-toluenesulfonic acid to afford methyl 2-(3-pyridinyl)-4-dithiolanecarboxylate (16). The dithiolane ester is hydrolyzed to the corresponding acid (17) by treatment with aqueous base, preferably lithium hydroxide. 2-(3-Pyridinyl)-4-dithiolanecarboxylic acid (17) is then converted to an active ester (18), preferably the imidazolide (W is 1-imidazole) by treatment with carbonyl diimidazole. The anion of an unsubstituted or substituted indole (8) is prepared by treatment with a strong base, preferably sodium hydride, and this is reacted with the active ester (18) to afford 1-[2-(3-pyridinyl)-dithiolan-4-oyl]indole (19). ##STR10##
SCHEME V
According to the foregoing reaction scheme V, an indole without a nitrogen substituent is protected, preferably as the BOC from treating with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (4), to give 22. This protected indole (22) is treated with a strong base, preferably n-butyl lithium, at -78.degree. C., and then reacted with the active ester 18, preferably the N-methyl-N-methoxy amide (W is N(CH.sub.3)OCH.sub.3) to afford the 1-tert-butoxycarbonyl-3-[2-(3-pyridinyl)-dithiolan -4-oyl]indole (23). The BOC can be removed by treatment with an acid, preferably HCl to afford 3-[2-(3-pyridinyl)-dithiolan-4-oyl]indole (24). ##STR11##
SCHEME VI
According to the foregoing reaction scheme VI, a 3-[2-(3-pyridinyl)-3-tert-butoxycarbonylthiazolid-4-oyl]indole (12) without a substituent on the indole nitrogen is treated with a strong base, preferably potassium hexamethyl disilazide, followed by treatment with an alkyl halide (RX) or an active ester (RCOX), such as an acid chloride, an isocyanate (RNCO), or an alkylsulfonyl halide (RSO.sub.2 X) to give the indole with a substituent on the indole nitrogen (25). The BOC group is removed from 20 by treatment with an acid, preferably HCl to afford 26. ##STR12##
SCHEME VII
The foregoing reaction scheme VII describes transformations similar to scheme VI, except using the dithiolane 24 instead of the thiazolidine 12 to a afford 3-[2-(3-pyridinyl)-dithiolan-4-oyl]indole with a substituted indole nitrogen (27). ##STR13##
SCHEME VIII
According to the foregoing reaction scheme VIII, 3-[2-(3-pyridinyl)-dithiolan-4-oyl]indole with an unsubstituted indole nitrogen (3, X=NR.sup.3) or 3-[2-(3-pyridinyl)-thiazolid-4-oyl]indole with a substituted indole nitrogen (24, X=S) is treated with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (4), preferably in the presence of an activating agent such as dimethylamino pyridine, to afford the BOC substituted compound 28. ##STR14##

PAF INHIBITORY ACTIVITY OF THE COMPOUNDS OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
The ability of representative compounds of the present invention to inhibit PAF activity was determined in an in vitro test using the following method.
Citrated whole rabbit blood was obtained from Pel-Freez (Rogers, AR). Rabbit platelets were prepared by centrifugation and washing. The platelets were lysed by freeze-thawing and sonication; platelet membranes were prepared by centrifugation and washing. Final membrane preparations were stored frozen in 10 mM Tris/5 mM MgCl.sub.2 /2 mM EDTA (TME buffer, pH 7.0) with 0.25M sucrose added for membrane stabilization.
The standard PAF receptor binding assay contained 10 .mu.g platelet membrane protein, 0.6 nM [.sup.3 H]C.sub.18 -PAF (from Amersham or New England Nuclear; specific activity 120-180 Ci/mmol), with and without test compound, in "binding buffer" consisting of TME with 0.25% bovine serum albumin added (Sigma, RIA grade). The final volume of the assay was 100 .mu.l. The assay was conducted in Millititre-GV.TM. (Millipore Corp.) filtration plates; incubation time was for 60 minutes at room temperature (22.degree.-23.degree. C.). "Specific binding" was operationally defined as the arithmetic difference between "total binding" of 0.6 nM [.sup.3 H]C.sub.18 -PAF (in the absence of added PAF) and "nonspecific binding" (in the presence of 1 .mu.M PAF). After the prescribed incubation, platelet membranes were filtered under vacuum, and washed with 1 milliliter of "binding buffer". The filters were dried and removed. The bound radioactivity was quantitated with a Berthold TLC-Linear Analyzer model LB2842.
Dose-response curves of inhibition of specific [.sup.3 H]C.sub.18 -PAF binding by test compounds were conducted in triplicate, with at least four doses covering the active range. Experiments were repeated at least once. IC.sub.50 values (concentration producing 50% inhibition) were determined by point-to-point evaluation. K.sub.i values of inhibitory binding constants were calculated according to the method of Cheng and Prusoff [Biochem. Pharmacol. 22 (1973) 3099-3108] whereby ##EQU1##
The values of K.sub.i for representative compounds of the present invention appear 8 in Table 1.

EXAMPLE 1
Preparation of 1-(2-(3-pyridinyl)thiazolid-4-oyl)-5-phenylmethoxyindole
Step 1. 2-(3-pyridinyl)-4-thiazolidinecarboxylic acid
Cysteine (24.2 g, 0.2 mole) and 3-pyridine carboxaldehyde (21.4 g, 0.2 mmole) were suspended in 60% aqueous ethanol (400 mL) and the mixture was heated at 100.degree. C. for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was then cooled and most of the solvent was removed in vacuo. The resulting slurry was washed with ethanol and filtered. This material was dried overnight in vacuo at 50.degree. C. to afford the thiazolidine acid (34 g, 81%).
Step 2. 2-(3-pyridinyl)-3-tert-butoxycarbonyl-4-thiazolidinecarboxylic acid

The mixture was stirred for 19 h. The mixture was concentrated and the resulting liquid partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate and dried to yield 2-(3-pyridinyl)-3-tert-butoxycarbonyl-4-thiazolidinecarboxylic acid (8.27 g, 80%)
Step 3. 2-(3-pyridinyl)-3-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-thiazolidinecarboxylate N-hydroxysuccinimide ester.

The flask was cooled and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (13.2 g, 0.064 mol) added and the mixture stirred in an ice bath. The reaction mixture was then allowed to slowly warm to room temperature and stirred overnight. The mixture was concentrated under high vacuum, the residue extracted with ethyl acetate, and filtered. The material was chromatographed on a silica column to yield 2-(3-pyridinyl)-3-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-thiazolidinecarboxylate N-hydroxysuccinimide ester. (16.99 g, 65%).
Step 4. 1-[2-(3-pyridinyl)-3-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-thiazolid-4-oylmethyl]-5-phenylmethoxyindole.
Sodium hydride (60% dispersion, 147 mg, 0.00368 mol). tetrahydrofuran (3 mL), and dimethylsulfoxide (2 mL) were stirred under N.sub.2 atmosphere and cooled in an ice bath. 5-Benzyloxyindole (822 mg, 0.00368 mol) in dimethylsulfoxide and tetrahydrofuran were added and the resulting suspension stirred at 0.degree. C. until homogeneous and 2-(3-pyridinyl)-3-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-thiazolidinecarboxylate N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (1.0 g, 0.00245 mol) added under N.sub.2 atmosphere. The suspension was stirred at 0.degree. C. for 15 min. and then allowed to warm to room temperature with stirring overnight. The reaction was quenched with 10% citric acid and the mixture diluted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed and dried over magnesium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was dissolved in dichloromethane and chromatographed on silica gel to yield 884 mg 1-[2-(3-pyridinyl)-3-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-thiazid-4-oylmethyl]-5-phenylemthoxyindole (70%).
Step 5. 1-[2-(3-pyridinyl)-thiazolid-4-oyl]-5-phenylmethoxyindole
1-[2-(3-pyridinyl)-3-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-thiazlid-4-oylmethyl]-5-phenylmethoxyindole (300 mg, 0.00058 mol) was stirred with dioxane under N.sub.2 atmosphere. Hydrochloric acid/dioxane (2.5 mL, 4M, 0.01175 mol) was added and stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated, azeotroped with toluene, and the solvent removed in vacuo. The residue was suspended in ether and washed with sodium bicarbonate. The organic phase was dried over MgSO.sub.4 and the solvent evaporated to yield 1-[2-(3-pyridinyl)-thiazo-4-oyl]-5-phenylmethoxyindole (243.5 mg, 86%).

EXAMPLE 26
Preparation of 1-[2-(3-pyridinyl)-dithiolan-4-oly]indole oxalate
Step 1. Methyl 2,3-dimercaptopropenonate
To a flame dried 1 liter 3-neck flask 30 g (1.25 mol, 5.8 eq) of sodium spheres (rinsed with hexanes) were added. The flask was equipped with an addition funnel and a reflux condenser. Anhydrous methanol (400 mL) was added to the sodium metal via the addition funnel in a dropwise fashion Once all the sodium was in solution (approximately 45 minutes), the reaction was cooled to 0.degree. C. and saturated with gaseous H.sub.2 S for 1 hr. During the course of the addition, excess H.sub.2 S was neutralized by bubbling the bleed line through a trap containing a 10% solution of aqueous sodium hydroxide. A solution of 50.0 g (0.22 mol, 1 eq.) 2,3-dibromopropionic acid dissolved in 100 ml of methanol was added to the reaction mixture via the addition funnel at a rapid drip rate. The solution was allowed to warm to room temperature and was stirred an additional 18 hr.
The reaction was then acidified to pH of 2 by initial dropwise addition of 100 mL of saturated methanolic HCl (H.sub.2 S evolution observed) followed by bubbling gaseous HCl into the reaction mixture until the desired pH was obtained. At this point, a thick white precipitate was present. The solution was stirred for an additional 4 hours and then concentrated on a rotoevaporator to remove the methanol. The resulting pasty residue was partitioned between 300 mL of water and 300 mL of ethyl ether. The aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl ether (2.times.) and the combined organic extracts washed once with brine and dried over magnesium sulfate. The drying agent was filtered off and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo to yield methyl 2,3-dimercaptopropenonate (28.5 g, 86.5%) as a light yellow oil.
Step 2. Methyl 2-(3-pyridinyl)-4-dithiolanecarboxylate
To a 3-neck round bottomed flask equipped with a Dean Stark trap and a constant rate addition funnel was added 7.05 g (65.7 mmol, 1.0 eq.) of 3-pyridinealdehyde and 15.0 g (78.9 mmol, 1.2 eq.) p-toluenesulfonic acid in 350 mL of toluene, 25 ml of 2-butanol, and 15 ml 1-butanol. The solution was heated to reflux, whereupon 10.0 g (65.7 mmol, 1 eq.) of methyl 2,3-dimercaptopropenonate as prepared in step 1, above, in 30 mL toluene was added dropwise over ninety minutes to the refluxing reaction mixture via the addition funnel. The reaction was allowed to reflux overnight and the following day cooled to room temperature and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and ethyl acetate (requires agitation for >30 min). The aqueous phase was extracted one more time with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were then washed successively with saturated aqueous sodium bisulfite (.times.2), 1M aqueous sodium hydroxide (.times.2), and saturated aqueous brine (.times.1), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford 18.57 g (117% crude yield) of a brown oil. TLC showed predominantly desired material along with some 3-pyridine carboxaldehyde and a much less polar impurity. the oil was purified by flash chromatography (SiO.sub.2, 80:20 hexanes:ethyl acetate). Methyl 2-(3-pyridinyl)-4-dithiolanecarboxylate was isolated in fractions 85-195 as 8.03 g (50.6% yield) of an orange oil.

The reaction immediately assumed an orange color. After 10 min, thin layer chromatography showed complete consumption of starting ester. The reaction was concentrated in vacuo to remove tetrahydrofuran and the resulting aqueous solution extracted with ether (2.times.) to remove any impurities. The aqueous phase was acidified to a pH of 4 with 1N aqueous HCl and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting oily residue was then ultrasonicated with tetrahydrofuran and ethanol and vacuum filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and chased two times with toluene to afford 1.6 g (85% yield) of 2-(3-pyridinyl-4-dithiolanecarboxylic acid as a yellow solid.
