Process for making pyrano- and thiopyranoindole derivatives

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of Invention
This invention relates to novel pyranoindole and thiopyranonidole derivatives, to processes for their preparation and to intermediates used in these processes.
More specifically, the present invention relates to novel pyranoindole and thiopyranoindole derivatives possessing valuable pharmacologic properties. For example, these derivatives exhibit useful antidepressant properties at dosages which do not elicit undesirable side effects. Furthermore the present derivatives exhibit properties useful for the treatment and prevention of ulcers. The combination of these pharmacologic properties together with a low order of toxicity render the pyranoindoles and thiopyranoindoles of the invention therapeutically useful.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Only a rather limited number of reports dealing with pyrano[3,4-b]indole derivatives are available. In the few that do exist, pyranoindoles are treated more in the manner of chemical curiosities. For the most part these reports discuss the preparation of pyranoindoles in which the pyran portion thereof exists as a lactone. For example, see H. Plieninger, Chem. Ber., 83, 271 (1950) and S. Sakurai and T. Ito, Nippon Kagaku Zasshi, 78, 1665 (1957); [Chem Abstr., 54, 1488f (1960)].
The thiopyranoindoles of the prior art, for example, 5-(3-aminopropyl)-1,3,4,5-tetrahydrothiopyrano[4,3-b]indole, M. E. Freed, et al, J. Med. Chem., 7, 628 (1964) are distinguished from the present compounds of this invention by having a different ring structure and by lacking substituents on the thiopyran ring.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The pyranonidole and thiopyranoindole derivatives of this invention are characterized by having an amino(lower)alkyl radical attached to a pyrano[3,4-b]indole or thiopyrano[3,4-b]-indole nucleus. The preferred derivatives of this invention are represented by formula I, ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 is lower alkyl or lower cycloalkyl; R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are the same or different selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and lower alkyl; R.sup.6 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, hydroxy, lower alkoxy, lower alkanoyloxy, nitro or halo; R.sup.7 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, lower alkenyl, propargyl, phenyl(lower)-alkyl or an amino(lower)alkyl radical of formula --Alk-NR.sup.8 R.sup.9 wherein Alk is an alkylene selected from the group consisting of CR.sup.10 R.sup.11 CR.sup.12 R.sup.13, CR.sup.10 R.sup.11 CR.sup.12 R.sup.13 CR.sup.14 R.sup.15 and CR.sup.10 R.sup.11 CR.sup.12 R.sup.13 CR.sup.14 R.sup.15 CR.sup.16 R.sup.17 wherein R.sup.10, R.sup.11, R.sup.12, R.sup.13, R.sup.14, R.sup.15, R.sup.16 and R.sup.17 are hydrogen or lower alkyl and R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 are either the same or different selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and lower alkyl, or R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are joined form a heterocyclic amine radical selected from the group consisting of 1-pyrrolidinyl, piperidino, morpholino, piperazino, 4-(lower alkyl)-1-piperazinyl and 4-[hydroxy(lower)alkyl]-1-piperazinyl; X is oxy or thio; and Y is lower alkyl, phenyl(lower)alkyl or an amino(lower)alkyl radical of formula --Alk-NR.sup.8 R.sup.9 wherein Alk is an alkylene selected from the group consisting of CR.sup.10 R.sup.11, CR.sup.10 R.sup.11 CR.sup. 12 R.sup.13, CR.sup.10 R.sup.11 CR.sup.12 R.sup.13 CR.sup.14 R.sup.15 and CR.sup.10 R.sup.11 CR.sup.12 R.sup.13 CR.sup.14 R.sup.15 CR.sup.16 R.sup.17 wherein R.sup.10, R.sup.11, R.sup.12, R.sup.13, R.sup.14, R.sup.15, R.sup.16 and R.sup.17 are hydrogen or lower alkyl and R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 are as defined herein, with the proviso that at least one of R.sup.7 and Y is --Alk-NR.sup.8 R.sup.9.
In the above definitions it is understood that Alk, R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 in each case are entitled to the full range of their definitions as listed above, so that Alk, R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 of Alk-NR.sup.8 R.sup.9 linked to position 9 need not necessarily be the same as Alk, R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 of Alk-NR.sup.8 R.sup.9 linked to position 1.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The term "lower alkyl" as used herein contemplates both straight and branched chain alkyl radicals containing from one to six carbon atoms and includes methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, 2-methylpentyl and the like.
The term "lower alkenyl" as used herein contemplates both straight and branched chain alkenyl radicals containing from two to six carbon atoms and includes vinyl, allyl, 1-propenyl, methallyl, 2-ethyl-3-butenyl and the like.
The term "phenyl(lower)alkyl" as used herein contemplates a phenylalkyl radical in which the alkyl portion thereof contains from one to four carbon atoms and includes benzyl, phenethyl, .alpha.-methylphenethyl and the like.
The term "lower cycloalkyl" as used herein contemplates saturated cyclic hydrocarbon radicals containing from three to six carbon atoms and includes cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl and the like.
The term "lower alkoxy" as used herein contemplates both straight and branched chain alkoxy radicals containing from one to four carbon atoms and includes methoxy, ethoxy, isopropoxy and the like.
The term "lower alkanoyloxy" as used herein contemplates both straight and branched chain alkanoyloxy radicals containing from two to six carbon atoms and includes acetoxy, propionyloxy, hexanoyloxy and the like.
The term "halo" as used herein contemplates halogens and includes fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine.
The compounds of formula I are capable of forming acid addition salts with pharmaceutically acceptable acids. Such acid addition salts are included within the scope of this invention.
The acid addition salts are prepared by reacting the base form of the appropriate compound of formula I with either one to four equivalents, depending on the number of basic nitrogens in the compound, or preferably with an excess of the appropriate acid in an organic solvent, for example, ether or an ethanol-ether mixture. These salts, when administered to mammals, possess the same pharmacologic activities as the corresponding bases. For many purposes it is preferable to administer the salts rather than the base compounds. Among the acid addition salts suitable for this purpose are salts such as the sulfate, phosphate, lactate, tartrate, maleate, citrate, hydrobromide and hydrochloride. Both the base compounds and the salts have the distinct advantage of possessing a relatively low order of toxicity.
Also included in this invention are the stereochemical isomers of the compounds of formula I which result from asymmetric centers, contained therein. These isomeric forms are prepared by different methods and are purified readily by crystallization or chromatography.
Individual optical isomers, which might be separated by fractional crystallization of the diastereoisomeric salts formed thereof, for instance, with d- or l- tartaric acid or D-(+)-.alpha.-bromocamphor sulfonic acid, are also included.
Antidepressant Activity
The useful antidepressant activity of the compounds of formula I and their acid addition salts with pharmaceutically acceptable acids are demonstrated in standard pharmacologic tests, such as, for example, the tests described by F. Hafliger and V. Burckhart in "Psychopharmacological Agents", M. Gordon, Ed., Academic Press, New York and London, 1964, pp. 75 - 83.
More specifically, as noted in the latter reference the antidepressant properties of a compound may be demonstrated by its capacity to antagonize the depressant effects of reserpine. Furthermore, it is well documented that reserpine in animals products a model depression which can be used for detecting antidepressant properties. Accordingly, the compounds of the present invention antagonize reserpine effects in mice at doses ranging from about 1 to 100 mg/kg. Several of the preferred compounds, for instance,
1-[(2-dimethylamino)ethyl]-1-methyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indole oxalate (Example 309),
1-methyl-[3-(methylamino)propyl]-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indole oxalate (Example 310),
1-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-1-methyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4b]indole oxalate (Example 312),
1-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-1-propyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indole maleate (Example 330), and
1-[2-(dimethylaminoethyl]-1-methyl-9-propyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indole maleate (Example 683), antagonize the effects of reserpine in mice at dose ranges from about 1 to 15 mg/kg.
When the compounds of this invention are used as antidepressants in warm-blooded mammals, e.g. rats and mice, they may be used alone or in combination with pharmacologically acceptable carriers, the proportion of which is determined by the solubility and chemical nature of the compound, chosen route of administration and standard biological practice. For example, they may be administered orally in solid form containing such excipients as starch, milk sugar, certain types of clay and so forth. They may also be administered orally in the form of solutions of they may be injected parenterally. For parenteral administration they may be used in the form of a sterile solution containing other solutes, for example, enough saline or glucose to make the solution isotonic.
The dosage of the present therapeutic agents will vary with the form of administration and the particular compound chosen. Furthermore, it will vary with the particular host under treatment. Generally, treatment is initiated with small dosages substantially less than the optimum dose of the compound. Thereafter, the dosage is increased by small increments until the optimum effect under the circumstances is reached. In general, the compounds of this invention are most desirably administered at a concentration level that will generally afford effective results without causing any harmful or deleterious side effects and preferably at a level that is in a range of from about 0.1 mg to about 50 mg per kilo per day, although as aforementioned variations will occur. However, a dosage level that is in the range of from about 0.5 mg to about 25 mg per kilo per day is most desirably employed in order to achieve effective results.
Antiulcer Activity
The compounds of formula I of this invention possess another useful pharmacologic property; that is, they are useful antiulcer agents. More particularly, the said compounds of this invention exhibit antiulcer activity in standard pharmacologic tests, for example, the test described by D. A. Brodie and L. S. Valitski, Proc. Soc. Exptl. Biol. Med., 113, 998 (1963), based on the prevention of stress-induced ulcers.
When the compounds of formula I are employed as antiulcer agents, they may be formulated and administered in the same manner as described above for their use as antidepressant agents.
Processes
For the preparation of the pyranoindole and thiopyranoindole derivatives of this invention we prefer to use as starting materials the compounds of general formula II, ##STR2## in which R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are as defined in the first instance and X.sup.1 is hydroxy or mercapto.
The starting materials of formula II in which X.sup.1 is hydroxy are either known, for example, tryptophol, described by H. R. Snyder and F. J. Pilgrim, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 70, 3770 (1948), or they are obtained by the following process: ##STR3##
With reference to this process phenylhydrazines of formula III and the hydroxyaldehyde of formula IV are reacted together according to the conditions of the "Fischer Indole Synthesis", for example, see P. L. Julian, E. N. Myer and H. C. Printy, "Heterocylic Compounds", R. C. Elderfield, Ed., Vol. 3, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York, 1952, pp. 8 - 11, to form the desired starting material (II, X.sup.1 = OH).
The phenylhydrazines of formula III are either known or are prepared according to known methods. A convenient method involves the diazotization of the appropriately substituted aniline to give the corresponding diazo derivative. The latter compound is then reduced with stannous chloride or sodium sulfite to give the corresponding phenylhydrazine, see L. F. Fieser and M. Fieser, "Advanced Organic Chemistry", Reinhold Publishing Corporation, New York, 1961, p. 734.
The hydroxyaldehydes of formula IV are either known, see for example, "Rodd's Chemistry of Carbon Compounds", S. Coffey, Ed., Vol. I d, 2nd ed., Elsevier Publishing Co., Amsterdam, 1965, pp. 44 - 49, or they are prepared according to known methods. A convenient method involves reduction of an appropriate lactone of formula ##STR4## with bis-(3-methyl-2-butyl)borane, H. G. Brown and D. B. Bigley, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 83, 486 (1961), diisobutyl aluminum hydride, L. I. Zakharkkin and I. M. Khorlina, Tetrahedron Letters, 619 (1962) or sodium aluminum hydride, L. I Zakharkin et al., Tetrahedron Letters, 2087 (1963). The appropriate lactones utilized in this condensation are either commercially available, for example, .delta.-valerolactone, .alpha.-methyl-butyrolactone, or they are described with a variety of methods for their preparation in organic chemistry textbooks; such as the textbooks, "Methoden der Organischen Chemie", Houben-Weyl, E. Muller, Ed., Vol. VI/2, Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart, 1963, pp. 561 - 852 or L. F. Fieser and M. Fieser, "Advanced Organic Chemistry", cited above.
Alternatively, the starting materials of formula II in which R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are hydrogen and X.sup.1 is hydroxy are prepared by lithium aluminum hydride reduction (N. G. Gaylord, "Reduction with Complex Metal Hydrides", Interscience Publishers, Inc., New York, 1956, pp. 322 - 370) of compounds of formula V described by T. Y. Shen, U.S. Pat. No. 3,161,654, Dec. 15, 1964: ##STR5## wherein R.sup.18 is lower alkyl and R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are as defined in the first instance.
In addition, convenient processes are available for the specific synthesis of certain starting materials of formula II. For example, starting materials of formula II in which R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are hydrogen and X.sup.1 is hydroxy are obtained by reduction of the appropriate ethyl 3-indoleglyoxylate with lithium aluminum hydride, British Patent 778,823 and T. Nogrady and T. W. Doyle, Can. J. Chem., 42, 485 (1964). Starting materials of formula II in which R.sup.2 and R.sup.4 are hydrogen, R.sup.3 and R.sup.5 are hydrogen or lower alkyl and X.sup.1 is hydroxy are obtained by reacting indole or an appropriately substituted indole with ethylene oxide or lower alkyl substituted ethylene oxide according to the process of M. Julia et al., Bull. Soc. Chim. Fr., 2291 (1966).
The starting materials of formula II in which X.sup.1 is mercapto and R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are as defined in the first instance are obtained by the following process: The appropriate compound of formula II (X.sup.1 = OH) described above, is treated with phosphorus tribromide in an inert solvent, for example, ether or carbon tetrachloride, to afford the corresponding 3-(2-bromoethyl)-indole derivative. The latter compound is then converted to the desired starting material of formula II (X.sup.1 = SH) by a procedure similar to that described by N. N. Suvorov and V. N. Buyanov, Khim.- Farm. Zh., 1, (1967), [Chem. Abstr. 67, 73474a (1967)], for converting 3-(2-bromoethyl)-indole to indole-3-ethanethiol (II; R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 = H and X.sup.1 = SH). Accordingly, the appropriate 3-(2-bromoethyl)indole indole derivative is treated with sodium or potassium thiosulfate to afford the corresponding sodium or potassium .beta.-(3-indolyl)ethyl thiosulfate derivative, respectively, which on treatment with strong alkali for example, sodium or potassium hydroxide, is transformed into the corresponding bis-[.omega.-(3-indolyl)ethyl]disulfide derivative. Reduction of the latter compound with lithium aluminum hydride gives the desired compounds of formula II.
It should be noted that the preceding process may not be entirely practical for the preparation of the compounds of formula II in which X.sup.1 is mercapto and R.sup.6 is hydroxy or lower alkanoyloxy. For this reason, the preferred starting materials of formula II for the ultimate preparation of the compounds of formula I in which R.sup.6 is hydroxy or lower alkanoyloxy and X is thio are the corresponding compounds of formula II in which R.sup.6 is benzyloxy, i.e., a hydroxyl with a protecting benzyl group or other suitable protecting group, see J. F. McOmie, "Advances in Organic Chemistry", Vol. 3, R. A. Raphael, et al, Ed., Interscience Publishers, New York, 1963, pp. 191 - 294. When the latter compounds are used as starting materials in this manner, they are first subjected to the process (II + VI .fwdarw. VII), described below. Subsequently, the benzyloxy group is removed by hydrogenation, in the presence of a catalyst, for example, 10% palladium on carbon, just prior to affording the desired corresponding compound of formula I in which R.sup.6 is hydroxy. The latter are converted, if desired, to the corresponding compound of formula I in which R.sup.6 is lower alkanoyloxy by conventional means, for example, by treatment with the appropriate lower alkanoic anhydride preferably in the presence of pyridine. Likewise, it should be noted that similar use of the starting materials of formula II in which X.sup.1 is hydroxy and R.sup.6 is benzyloxy to obtain the corresponding compound of formula I in which R.sup.6 is hydroxy or lower alkanoyloxy is also preferred.
The above described starting materials of formula II in which R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6 and X.sup.1 are as defined in the first instance are now subjected to a key reaction comprising the treatment of said starting materials with a compound of formula ##STR6## (VI) in which R.sup.1 is as defined in the first instance and Z is selected from the group consisting of:
a. COOR.sup.19 and Alk.sup.1 - COOR.sup.19 in which R.sup.19 is hydrogen or lower alkyl and Alk.sup.1 is an alkylene selected from the group consisting of CR.sup.10 R.sup.11, CR.sup.10 R.sup.11 CR.sup.12 R.sup.13 and CR.sup.10 R.sup.11 CR.sup.12 R.sup.13 CR.sup.14 R.sup.15 wherein R.sup.10, R.sup.11, R.sup.12, R.sup.13, R.sup.14 and R.sup.15 are hydrogen or lower alkyl,
b. CONR.sup.8 R.sup.9 and Alk.sup.1 -CONR.sup.8 R.sup.9 in which Alk.sup.1, R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 are as defined above,
c. CH.sub.2 OCOR.sup.20 and Alk.sup.1 -CH.sub.2 OCOR.sup.20 in which R.sup.20 is hydrogen or lower alkyl and Alk.sup.1 is as defined above,
d. Alk.sup.2 -L in which Alk.sup.2 is an alkylene selected from the group consisting of CR.sup.10 R.sup.11 CHR.sup.12, CR.sup.10 R.sup.11 CR.sup.12 R.sup.13 CHR.sup.14 and CR.sup.10 R.sup.11 CR.sup.12 R.sup.13 CR.sup.14 R.sup.15 CHR.sup.16 wherein R.sup.10, R.sup.11, R.sup.12, R.sup.13, R.sup.14, R.sup.15 and R.sup.16 are as defined above and L is halo,
e. Alk NR.sup.8 COR.sup.21 in which Alk and R.sup.8 are as defined in the first instance and R.sup.21 is hydrogen or lower alkyl containing from one to five carbon atoms,
f. Alk - NO.sub.2 in which Alk is as defined in the first instance, and
g. Lower alkyl and phenyl(lower)alkyl, in the presence of an acid catalyst to yield the compounds of formula VII in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6, X and Z are as defined above and R.sup.7 is hydrogen. ##STR7##
Thereafter the appropriate compound of formula VII (R.sup.7 = H) is converted to the desired pyranoindole of formula I according to the processes described hereinafter.
In practising the condensation (II + VI .fwdarw. VII) we have found it preferable to use a solvent as a reaction medium. Any solvent inert to the reaction conditions may be used. Suitable solvents include aromatic hydrocarbon, for example benzene, or toluene, ethers and cyclic ethers, for example diethyl ether, dioxan, or tetrahydrofuran, halogenated hydrocarbons, for example methylene dichloride, or carbon tetrachloride and the like. Benzene and tetrahydrofuran are especially convenient and practical for this use. A variety of suitable acid catalysts may be used for this condensation, for example, the type of catalyst used in a Friedel-Crafts reaction, i.e. p-toluenesulfonic acid, aluminum chloride, phosphorus pentoxide, boron trifluoride, zinc chloride, hydrochloric acid, perchloric acid, trifluoroacetic acid, sulfuric acid and the like. p-Toluenesulfonic acid, aluminum chloride, boron trifluoride and phosphorus pentoxide are included among the preferred acid catalysts. The amount of acid catalyst used is not especially critical and may range from 0.01 molar equivalents to 100 molar equivalents; however, a range of from 0.1 to 10 molar equivalents is generally preferred. The time of the reaction may range from 10 minutes to 60 hours, with the preferred range being from one-half to 24 hours. The temperature of the reaction may range from 20.degree. C. to the boiling point of the reaction mixture. Preferred temperature ranges include 20.degree. to 120.degree. C.
A more detailed description of the preparation of the above intermediate compounds of formula VII and a description of their subsequent conversion to pyranoindole and thiopyranoindole derivatives of formula I are disclosed below. For convenience these descriptions are catagorized into sections according to the group selected for Z for the intermediate.
a. Preparation and Conversion of Intermediates of Formula VII (Z = COOR.sup.19 and Alk.sup.1 COOR.sup.19)
Intermediates of formula (Z = COOR.sup.19 and Alk.sup.1 -COOR.sup.19 in which R.sup.19 is hydrogen or lower alkyl and Alk.sup.1 is as defined in the first instance, R.sup.7 is hydrogen and R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6 and X are as defined in the first instance) are readily obtained by the condensation (II+VI.fwdarw.VII) by using ketoacids or ketoesters of formula ##STR8## in which R.sup.1 is as defined in the first instance and Z is COOR.sup.19 or Alk.sup.1 - COOR.sup.19 as defined above together with the starting material of formula II.
Generally comparable yields of product are obtained in this process when either the ketoacid or the corresponding ketoester is used. However, in the case where it is desired to prepare an acid compound of formula VII(R.sup.7 = H) in which Z is Alk.sup.1 COOR.sup.19 wherein Alk.sup.1 is CR.sup.10 R.sup.11 and R.sup.19 is hydrogen (i.e., an acid intermediate of formula VII), it is preferable to first condense the appropriate .beta.-ketoester of formula VI rather than the corresponding .beta.-ketoacid and then hydrolyze the resulting ester product to give the desired acid compound.
Moreover, in the general practise of this invention it is often more convenient to prepare the acid compounds of formula VII(R.sup.7 =H) by using the ketoester instead of the ketoacid in this process and then hydrolyze the resulting ester product to the desired acid, the reason being simply that the ketoesters are generally more readily available either commercially or by synthesis.
The hydrolysis of compounds of formula VII(R.sup.7 =H) in which Z is COOR.sup.19 or Alk.sup.1 COOR.sup.19 wherein Alk.sup.1 is as defined in the first instance and R.sup.19 is lower alkyl, i.e. ester intermediates of formula VII(R.sup.7 =H), to their corresponding acids of formula VII (R.sup.7 = H) is readily effected by treatment with a suitable alkali, for example, potassium hydroxide or sodium carbonate, in aqueous methanol or aqueous ethanol or by treatment with lithium iodide in a suitable organic solvent, for example, collidine, see L. F. Fieser and M. Fieser, "Reagents for Organic Synthesis", John Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York, 1967, pp. 615 - 617.
The .alpha.-, .beta.-, .gamma.- and .delta.-ketoacids and -ketoesters of formula VI are either known, for example, ethyl pyruvate, levulinic acid, ethyl, .alpha.,.alpha.-dimethylacetoacetate, and .beta.,.beta.-dimethyllevulic acid, or they are prepared by known methods described in general organic chemistry textbooks. For example, a comprehensive review on the properties and preparation of such .alpha.-, .beta.-, .gamma.- and .delta.-ketoacids and -ketoesters may be found in "Rodd's Chemistry of the Carbon Compounds", cited above, Vol. Id, pp. 226 - 274.
Thereafter these intermediate acids and esters of formula VII (R.sup.7 = H) are converted to compounds of formula I in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6, R.sup.7 and X are as defined in the first instance and Y is -Alk-NR.sup.8 R.sup.9 in which Alk is CH.sub.2 or Alk.sup.1 -CH.sub.2 wherein Alk.sup.1 is as defined in the first instance and R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 are as defined in the first instance. This conversion is accomplished by amidation, reduction and if desired N-alkylation of the indolic nitrogen. The order of these steps is not critical. However, we have found the following sequence of these steps to be both convenient and practical.
First, when it is desired to prepare the derivatives of the latter group of compounds of formula I in which R.sup.7 is H, i.e., N-alkylation of the indolic nitrogen is not desired, either the above acid intermediate or ester intermediate may be employed.
In the case where the acid intermediate of formula VII(R.sup.7 = H) is employed, said acid is subjected to amidation by treatment with a lower alkyl chloroformate, preferably ethyl chloroformate, in the presence of triethylamine, affording the corresponding mixed anhydride, which is converted by treatment with the appropriate amine of formula HNR.sup.8 R.sup.9 in which R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 are as defined in the first instance, for example, ammonia, methylamine or dimethylamine, to yield the corresponding amide of formula VII in which Z is CONR.sup.8 R.sup.9 or Alk.sup.1 CONR.sup.8 R.sup.9 in which Alk.sup.1, R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 are as described in the first instance.
Alternatively, the latter amides are also obtained by treating the ester intermediates of formula VII (R.sup.7 = H) with the appropriate amine according to known amidation methods, for example, see A. L. F. Beckwith in "The Chemistry of Amides", J. Zalicky, E., Interscience Publishers, New York, 1970, pp. 96 - 105.
Secondly, the amides so obtained are reduced with a suitable complex metal hydride to yield the desired pyranoindoles and thiopyranoindoles. Examples of suitable complex metal hydrides are lithium aluminum hydride, lithium aluminum hydride-aluminum chloride, aluminum hydride-aluminum chloride, diborane and sodium borohydride-aluminum chloride. Lithium aluminum hydride is preferred.
On the other hand when it is desired to prepare the compounds of formula I of the above group in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6 and X are as defined in the first instance, R.sup.7 is lower alkyl, or lower alkenyl, propargyl, phenyl(lower)alkyl or amino(lower)alkyl and Y is --Alk-N R.sup.8 R.sup.9 in which Alk is CH.sub.2 or Alk.sup.1 CH.sub.2 wherein Alk.sup.1 is as defined in the first instance and R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 are as defined in the first instance, the acid or ester intermediate of formula VII (R.sup.7 = H) are first subjected to N-alkylation by treatment with a molar excess of the appropriate organic halide, namely a lower alkyl halide, lower alkenyl halide, propargyl halide, phenyl(lower)alkyl halide or amino(lower)alkyl halide, respectively, in an inert solvent in the presence of a proton acceptor. Suitable inert solvents include tetrahydrofuran, benzene, toluene and dimethylformamide. Suitable proton acceptors include sodium hydride, alkali metal carbonate and triethylamine. Preferred conditions for effecting this N-alkylation include the use of sodium hydride as a proton acceptor and tetrahydrofuran as an inert solvent. Although the optimum temperature and reaction time will vary depending on the reactants employed, the reaction is generally performed at the boiling point of the reaction mixture for a period of 30 minutes to 48 hours.
The lower alkyl halides, lower alkenyl halides, propargyl halide, phenyl(lower)alkyl halides and aminoalkyl(lower)halides employed herein are either known, for example, ethyl bromide, allyl bromide and dimethylaminoethyl chloride, or they are prepared by known methods, usually by the treatment of the corresponding alcohols with a halogenating agent, for instance, thionyl chloride, see D. J. Collins and J. J. Hobbs, Aust. J. Chem., 20, 1413 (1967) and R. B. Moffett, J. Org. Chem., 14, 862 (1949).
In this manner, the corresponding N-alkylated derivatives of the above acid and ester derivatives of formula VII are obtained. Thereafter these derivatives are subjected to the amidation and reduction steps according to the conditions described hereinabove in this section, to afford the desired compounds of formula I in which R.sup.7 is lower alkyl, lower alkenyl, propargyl, phenyl(lower)alkyl, or amino(lower)alkyl.
Although the above sequence of steps for the conversion of the acid and ester intermediates of formula VII (R.sup.7 = H) to the above desired pyranoindoles is convenient and efficacious, a change in the order of the steps whereby the amides of formula VII (R.sup.7 = H) are treated with the appropriate organic halide according to the N-alkylation conditions described above, followed by reduction with a complex metal hydride, as described above, also affords the above desired compounds of formula I, in which R.sup.7 is lower alkyl, lower alkenyl, propargyl, phenyl(lower)alkyl or amino(lower)alkyl. described above, of the resulting corresponding amide derivative in which the indolic nitrogen is alkylated, also affords the above desired compounds of formula I, in which R.sup.7 is lower alkyl, lower alkenyl, propargyl, phenyl(lower) alkyl or amino(lower)alkyl.
Furthermore, another change in the order of the steps for preparing the latter compounds of formula I is realized by N-alkylation, as described above, of the corresponding compounds of formula I in which R.sup.7 is hydrogen, described above. In this case when the starting material employed is a pyranoindole or thiopyranoindole of formula I in which Y is -Alk-NR.sup.8 R.sup.9 in which Alk is CH.sub.2 or Alk.sup.1 CH.sub.2 wherein Alk.sup.1 is as defined in the first instance and R.sup.8 is hydrogen and R.sup.9 is hydrogen or lower alkyl, i.e., a primary or secondary amine function is present in the molecule in addition to the indolic nitrogen, it is expedient to use only one molar equivalent of the appropriate organic halide to avoid alkylation of the primary or secondary amine if so desired.
Another aspect of the present intermediates of formula VII relates to their conversion to compounds of formula I in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6, R.sup.7 and X are as described in the first instance and Y is -Alk-NR.sup.8 R.sup.9 in which Alk is CH.sub.2 or Alk.sup.1 CH.sub.2 wherein Alk.sup.1 is as defined in the first instance and R.sup.8 is hydrogen and R.sup.9 is lower alkyl, i.e. secondary amines. When it is desired to prepare the latter compounds a modification involving the protection of the secondary amine with a benzyl group or other suitable protecting group, see J. F. McOmie, cited below, is especially convenient. For example, the aforementioned acid or ester intermediate of formula VII is reacted with an amine or formula HNR.sup.8 R.sup.9 in which R.sup.8 is benzyl and R.sup.9 is lower alkyl according to the amidation step described above. The resulting amide is N-alkylated on the indolic nitrogen, if desired, and then reduced with a complex metal hydride according to the above procedures. Thereafter the benzyl group is removed by hydrogenolysis in the presence of a catalyst, preferably 10% palladium on carbon, to afford the desired secondary amine compounds of formula I.
Still another modification relates to a more general reduction of the above amides of formula VII in which Z is CONR.sup.8 R.sup.9 or Alk.sup.1 -CONR.sup.8 R.sup.9 wherein Alk.sup.1, R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 are as defined in the first instance. In other words this modification is applicable to the reduction of tertiary, secondary and primary amides, described herein, and is a preferred modification for the reduction of the latter two. In practising this modification, the aforementioned amide of formula VII is treated with triethyloxonium fluoroborate or dimethyl sulfate, see H. Bredereck, et al., Chem. Ber., 98, 2754 (1965), in an inert solvent, for example, methylene dichloride, whereby the corresponding iminoether fluoroborate or methyl sulfate salt is obtained, respectively. Subsequent reduction of the salt thus obtained with a complex metal hydride, similar to the reduction described previously for the amides, yields the corresponding compounds of formula I. Alternatively, the above fluoroborate or methyl sulfate salt derived from a secondary or primary amide is decomposed by base treatment, for example, with 10% sodium hydroxide or triethylamine, to give the corresponding iminoether which is then reduced in a like manner to the desired compound of formula I.
When applying the aforementioned steps in the preparation of compounds of formula I in which R.sup.6 is hydroxy or lower alkanoyloxy, it is preferable to use corresponding intermediates in which R.sup.6 is benzyloxy followed by the appropriate transformations as noted previously to yield the desired compounds of formula I.
b. Preparation and Conversion of Intermediates of Formula VII (Z = CONR.sup.8 R.sup.9 and Alk.sup.1 -CONR.sup.8 R.sup.9).
The intermediates of formula VII in which R.sup.7 is hydrogen and Z is CONR.sup.8 R.sup.9 and Alk.sup.1 -CONR.sup.8 R.sup.9 wherein R.sup.8, R.sup.9 and Alk.sup.1 are as defined in the first instance, described in the previous section, are also obtained directly by utilizing the appropriate starting materials of Formula II and .alpha.-, .beta.-, .gamma.- or .delta.-ketoamides of formula ##STR9## in which R.sup.1 is as defined above and Z is CONR.sup.8 R.sup.9 or Alk.sup.1 CONR.sup.8 R.sup.9 in which Alk.sup.1, R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 are as defined above. The ketoamides required for this condensation are either known, for example, pyruvamide or .alpha.,.alpha.-dimethylacetoacetamide, or they are prepared by known methods, for instance, see "Rodd's Chemistry of the Carbon Compounds", cited above, Vol. 1d, pp. 226-274.
Thereafter these amides are converted by the reduction process, described above, to the compounds of formula I in which R.sup.1 R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6, and X are as defined in the first instance, R.sup.7 is hydrogen and Y is -Alk-NR.sup.8 R.sup.9 in which Alk is CH.sub.2 or Alk.sup.1 -CH.sub.2 wherein Alk.sup.1 is as defined in the first instance and R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 are as defined in the first instance.
c. Preparation and Conversion of Intermediates of Formula VII (Z = CH.sub.2 OCOR.sup.20 and Alk.sup.1 -CH.sub.2 OCOR.sup.20)
Intermediates of formula VII in which R.sup.7 is hydrogen and Z is CH.sub.2 OCOR.sup.20 and Alk.sup.1 -CH.sub.2 OCOR.sup.20 in which Alk.sup.1 and R.sup.20 are as defined in the first instance, are obtained when a starting material of formula II is condensed with a ketoalcohol lower alkanoic acid ester of formula R.sup.1 COCH.sub.2 OCOR.sup.20 or R.sup.1 CO-Alk.sup.1 -CH.sub.2 OCOR.sup.20 in which R.sup.1, Alk.sup.1 and R.sup.20 are as defined in the first instance, in the presence of a suitable acid catalyst according to the conditions described above for the condensation (II + VI .fwdarw. VII). The ketoalcohol lower alkyl esters are either known, for example, acetonyl acetate or 5-acetoxypentan-2-one, or are prepared by known methods, for instance, see "Rodd's Chemistry of the Carbon Compounds", cited above, Vol. 1d, p. 49-54.
These intermediates of formula VII may then be utilized for the preparation of compounds of formula I of this invention in the following manner. The intermediate is hydrolyzed with an aqueous alcoholic solution of a suitable alkali, for example, sodium hydroxide in aqueous methanol to afford the corresponding primary alcohol. The primary alcohol is then oxidized to the corresponding aldehyde. Although a variety of methods are known for the oxidation of a primary alcohol to its corresponding aldehyde, see for example, "Rodd's Chemistry of the Carbon Compounds", cited above, Vol. 1c, pp. 4 - 10, we have found that the method of K. E. Pfitzner and J. G. Moffat, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 87, 5670 (1965), using N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and dimethyl sulfoxide in the presence of a suitable acid, for example, trifluoroacetic acid, is both efficacious and convenient. Thereafter the aldehyde is reacted with an amine of formula HNR.sup.8 R.sup.9 in which R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 are as defined in the first instance to give the corresponding Schiff base, which is reduced with sodium borohydride, see E. Schenker, Agnew. Chem., 73, 81 (1961), to yield compounds of formula I in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6 and X are as defined in the first instance, R.sup.7 is hydrogen and Y is -Alk-NR.sup.8 R.sup.9 in which Alk is CH.sub.2 or Alk.sup.1 -CH.sub.2 and R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 are as defined in the first instance.
Alternatively, the latter compounds of formula I are obtained by converting the above corresponding alcohol to a reactive intermediate such as the corresponding halide, mesylate or tosylate, which are then reacted with a two molar excess of an amine of formula HNR.sup.8 R.sup.9 in which R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 are as defined in the first instance. Preferably this reaction is performed in a suitable insert solvent, for example, tetrahydrofuran, at the boiling point of the reaction mixture for a period of eight to 24 hours. In connection with alkylations of amines of formula HNR.sup.8 R.sup.9 in which R.sup.8 is hydrogen and R.sup.9 is lower alkyl as disclosed herein, it is generally preferable to perform the alkylation with the corresponding N-benzyl derivative of said amine, i.e., an amine of formula NHR.sup.8 R.sup.9 in which R.sup.8 is benzyl and R.sup.9 is lower alkyl. Thereafter, when all appropriate transformation have been performed, the N-benzyl group is removed by hydrogenolysis with a catalyst, preferably 10% palladium on carbon, to give the desired compounds of formula I.
Thereafter, and if desired, these latter compounds of formula I are converted to their corresponding derivatives in which R.sup.7 lower alkyl, lower alkenyl, propargyl, phenyl(lower)allyl or amino(lower)alkyl by N-alkylation with one molar equivalent of the appropriate organic halide in the manner described for the N-alkylation in section (a).
Alternatively, the above aldehyde is oxidized with a suitable oxidizing agent to yield the corresponding acid intermediates of formula VII (R.sup.7 = H) described in section (a). Although a variety of suitable oxidizing agents may be used for this purpose, for example, silver oxide, alkaline permanganate, hydrogen peroxide, we prefer to use silver oxide according to the method of M. Delepine and P. Bonnet, Compt. rend., 149, 39 (1909).
Again alternatively, the above aldehyde is converted to its oxime which on reduction with a complex metal hydride yields the corresponding primary amine of formula I in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6 and X are as defined in the first instance, R.sup.7 is hydrogen and Y is --Alk-NR.sup.8 R.sup.9 in which Alk is CH.sub.2 or Alk.sup.1 -CH.sub.2 wherein Alk.sup.1 is as defined in the first instance and R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 are hydrogen.
If desired these latter primary amine compounds of formula I may be N-alkylated on the indolic nitrogen in the manner described above with a molar equivalent of the appropriate organic halide to give the corresponding compounds of formula I in which R.sup.7 is lower alkyl, lower alkenyl, propargyl, phenyl(lower)alkyl or Alk-NR.sup.8 R.sup.9 wherein Alk, R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 are as defined in the first instance.
In turn these latter compounds of formula I may be further N-alkylated on the nitrogen of the primary amine with the appropriate lower alkyl halide to the corresponding compounds of formula I in which Y is --Alk-NR.sup.8 R.sup.9 wherein Alk is CH.sub.2 or Alk.sup.1 -CH.sub.2 wherein Alk.sup.1 is as defined in the first instance and R.sup.8 is hydrogen or lower alkyl and R.sup.9 is lower alkyl (i.e. secondary or tertiary amines with respect to Y). In this case depending on the particular derivative desired the N-alkylation is effected with one or two moles of the alkyl halide to give respectively the secondary (R.sup.8 = H and R.sup.9 = lower alkyl with respect to Y) or tertiary amine (R.sup.8 = R.sup.9 = lower alkyl with respect to Y). On the other hand the N-alkylation may be effected in two steps introducing a different alkyl group each time to afford the corresponding tertiary amine in which R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 are different lower alkyls with respect to Y.
When it is desired to prepare the above tertiary amine compounds in which R.sup.8 or R.sup.9 are either or both methyl, an alternative alkylation method comprises reacting the appropriate corresponding primary or secondary amine with an aqueous mixture of a substantial excess of formaldehyde and formic acid according to the conditions of the Eschweiler-Clarke reaction, see M. L. Moore, Organic Reactions, 5, 301 (1949), whereby N-methylation is effected.
Another N-alkylation method which is applied to the above primary and secondary amines involves acylation with a lower alkanoic anhydride or acid halide and subsequent reduction of the resulting amide.
Furthermore, the above primary amines are used to prepare compounds of formula I in which Y is --Alk-NR.sup.8 R.sup.9 wherein Alk is CH.sub.2 or Alk.sup.1 -CH.sub.2 and R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are joined from a heterocyclic amine radical as defined in the first instance. When used in this manner the primary amines are subjected to known N-alkylation methods, for example, see method J. in Moffett, cited above, with the appropriate .alpha.,.omega.-dibromides, for example, tetramethylene dibromide, pentamethylene dibromide, bis(2-chloroethyl)ether, bis(2-chloroethyl)benzylamine followed by hydorgenation in the presence of 10% palladium on carbon to remove the protecting benzyl group, a bis(2-chloroethyl)lower alkylamine or a bis(2-chloroethyl)-N-[hydroxy(lower)alkyl]amine, to give the corresponding, desired compound of formula I wherein Y is an amino(lower)alkyl in which the amino portion thereof is pyrrolidino, piperidino, morpholino, piperazino, 4-(lower)alkyl-1-piperazinyl or 4[hydroxy(lower)alkyl]-1-piperazinyl, respectively.
If during the above N-alkylations it is desired to protect primary or secondary amine functions that are present in the R.sup.7 portion of compounds of formula I, such protection may be afforded by the use of appropriate protecting groups, for example, a benzyl group; see also, J. F. W. McOmie in "Advances in Organic Chemistry", Vol. 3, R. A. Raphael, et al., Ed., Interscience Publishers, New York, 1963, pp. 191-294.
d. Preparation and Conversion of Intermediates of Formula VII (Z = Alk.sup.2 -L).
Intermediates of formula VII in which R.sup.7 is hydrogen and Z is Alk.sup.2 -L wherein Alk.sup.2 and L are as defined in the first instance, are obtained when a starting material of formula II is condensed with a .beta.,.gamma.- or .delta.-haloketone of formula R.sup.1 CO-Alk.sup.2 -L in which R.sup.1, Alk.sup.2 and L are as defined in the first instance in the presence of a suitable acid catalyst according to the conditions described above for the condensation (II+VI.fwdarw.VII). The haloketones are either known, for example, 4-chlorobutan-2-one, or they are prepared by known methods, for instance, see "Rodd's Chemistry of Carbon Compounds", cited above, Vol. 1 c, pp. 70-71 and "Methodn der Organischen Chemie", Houben-Weyl, E. Muller, Ed., Vol. V/3, Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart, 1962, pp. 511-1076.
Thereafter these intermediates of formula VII are treated with a two molar excess of an amine of formula HNR.sup.8 R.sup.9 in which R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 are as defined in the first instance to yield the compounds of formula I in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6 and X are as described in the first instance, R.sup.7 is hydrogen and Y is --Alk-NR.sup.8 R.sup.9 in which Alk is Alk.sup.2 as defined in the first instance and R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 are as defined in the first instance. Preferred conditions for this reaction include the use of a suitable inert solvent, for example, tetrahydrofuran, temperatures ranging from 40.degree. - 100.degree. C. or at the boiling point of the reaction mixture and a reaction time of from eight to 24 hours.
If desired the latter pyranoindoles and thiopyranoindoles may be N-alkylated on the indolic nitrogen with an appropriate lower alkyl halide or aminoalkyl halide according to the method described for the N-alkylation of the pyranoindoles and thiopyranoindoles in section (a).
e. Preparation and Conversion of Intermediates of Formula VII (Z = AlkNR.sup.8 COR.sup.21)
Intermediates of formula VII in which R.sup.7 is hydrogen and Z is AlkNR.sup.8 COR.sup.21 wherein Alk, R.sup.8 and R.sup.21 are as defined in the first instance are readily obtained by the condensation (II+VI.fwdarw.VII) by using ketoamides of formula ##STR10## in which R.sup.1, Alk, R.sup.8 and R.sup.21 are as defined in the first instance together with the appropriate starting material of formula II.
The ketoamides used herein are either known, for example, formamidoacetone [A. Treibs and W. Sutter, Chem. Ber., 84, 96 (1951)] and see [R. H. Wiley and O. H. Borum, J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 70, 2005 (1948)] or they are prepared by known procedures, for example, see "Methoden der Organischen Chemie", cited above, Vol. XI/1, 1957, especially pp. 58-62, 285-289 and 508-509, and F. F. Blicke, Organic Reactions, 1, 303 (1942).
Thereafter, reduction with a complex metal hydride and if desired N-alkylation of the indolic nitrogen as described in section (a) converts the instant intermediates of formula VII to pyranoindoles of formula I in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6, R.sup.7, X are as defined in the first instance and Y is AlkNR.sup.8 R.sup.9 in which Alk and R.sup.8 are as defined in the first instance and R.sup.9 is lower alkyl.
f. Preparation and Conversion of Intermediates of Formula VII (Z = Alk - NO.sub.2)
Intermediates of formula VII in which R.sup.7 is hydrogen and Z is Alk-NO.sub.2 wherein Alk is as defined in the first instance, are obtained by the condensation (II+VI.fwdarw.VII) when the starting materials of formula II and appropriate .alpha.-, .beta.-, .gamma.-, and .delta.-nitroketones of formula ##STR11## in which R.sup.1 and Alk are as defined in the first instance are employed therein in the presence of a suitable acid catalyst. In this case trifluoroacetic acid is the preferred acid catalyst.
The nitroketones used herein are either known, for example, 1-nitro-2-propanone, N. Levy and C. W. Scaife, J. Chem. Soc., 1100, (1946) and 5-nitro-2-hexanone, H. Shechter, et al., J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 74, 3664 (1952) or they are prepared by known methods, for example, see Levy, and Scaife, cited above, Shechter, et al. cited above, "Rodd's Chemistry of Carbon Compounds", cited above, Vol. 1c, pp. 71-72 and "Methoden der Organischen Chemie", cited above, Vol. X/1, 1971, p. 203.
Thereafter, these intermediates of formula VII are reduced with a complex metal hydride, preferably lithium aluminum hydride, to afford the pyranoindoles of formula I in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6 and X are as defined in the first instance, Y is hydrogen and Z is --Alk-NR.sup.8 R.sup.9 in which Alk is defined in the first instance and R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 are hydrogen.
If desired the latter compounds may be N-alkylated according to the methods described in section (c) to give the compounds of formula I in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6, R.sup.7 and X are as defined in the first instance and Y is Alk-NR.sup.8 R.sup.9 in which Alk, R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 are as defined in the first instance.
g. Preparation and Conversion of Intermediates of Formula VII (Z = lower alkyl or phenyl(lower)alkyl)
Intermediates of formula VII (Z = lower alkyl or phenyl(lower)alkyl, R.sup.7 is hydrogen and R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6 and X are as defined in the first instance) are readily obtained by the condensation (II + VI.fwdarw.VII) by using the starting materials of formula II and the ketones of formula ##STR12## in which R.sup.1 is as defined in the first instance and Z is lower alkyl or phenyl(lower)alkyl.
The ketones used herein are either available commercially, for example, acetone or phenylacetone, or they are prepared by conventional methods, for example, see P. Karrer, "Organic Chemistry", 2nd. ed., Elsevier Publishing Co., Inc., New York, 1946, pp. 149-169 and V. Migrdichian, "Organic Synthesis", Vol. 1, Reinhold Publishing Corp., New York, 1957, pp. 100-129.
These intermediates of formula VII are converted to the compounds of formula I in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6 and X are as defined in the first instance, R.sup.7 is --(Alk)-NR.sup.8 R.sup.9 in which Alk, R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 are as defined in the first instance and Y is lower alkyl or phenyl(lower)alkyl by N-alkylation of the indolic nitrogen with the appropriate amino(lower)alkyl halide according to the method of N-alkylation described in section (a).
Finally, it is the intention to cover all changes and modifications of the embodiment of the invention herein chosen for the purpose of disclosure which are within the scope and spirit of this invention. Such changes and modification include those variations which depend on well known interconversions of amines, amides, acids and esters or alternation of the order of the steps in the processes disclosed herein.
For example, the act of subjecting the corresponding derivative of the starting material of formula II in which the indolic nitrogen is alkylated with a lower alkyl, lower alkenyl, propargyl, phenyl(lower)alkyl or amino(lower)alkyl, to condensation with an appropriate compound of formula VI according to the conditions of the key reaction taught in this present disclosure to yield the corresponding intermediate compound of formula VII in which the indolic nitrogen is so alkylated would not depart from the scope or spirit of this invention.
The following examples illustrate further this invention.

EXAMPLE 1
1-METHYL-1,3,4,9-TETRAHYDROPYRANO[3,4-b]INDOLE-1-ACETIC ACID (VII; R.sup.1 = Ch.sub.3, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6 AND R.sup.7 = H, X = O AND Z = CH.sub.2 COOH)
Ethyl acetoacetate (23.4 g., 0.18 moles) is added to a solution of the starting material of formula II, tryptophol (10.0 g., 0.06 moles), in 200 ml. of benzene. After standing for 10 minutes, p-toluenesulfonic acid (1.3 g.) and about 5 g. of hydrated alkali-aluminum silicate (Molecular Sieves No. 4) are added. The mixture is subjected to reflux for thirty minutes, 600 mg. more of p-toluenesulfonic acid is added and refluxing continued for 21/2 hours. The moleculare sieves are collected and the benzene solution washed successively with 5% sodium bicarbonate and water, dried over sodium sulfate, and evaporated under reduced pressure to dryness affording an oil. The oil is subjected to chromatography on silica gel. Elution with 5% ether in benzene yields the ester, 1-methyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano-[3,4-b-]indole-1-acetic acid ethyl ester, as an oil, .gamma..sub.max.sup.CHCl.sbsp.3 1715 cm.sup.-1.
Hydrolysis of this ester to the title compound is effected as follows: The ester is dissolved in 230 ml. of methanol. To this is added 10 g. of KOH in 30 ml. of H.sub.2 O and the solution is allowed to stand at room temperature overnight. The methanol is evaporated, water added and the solution washed with benzene. The aqueous phase is acidified with 6N HCl, and extracted with benzene. This organic phase is washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated to dryness to give an oil, which is crystallized from benzene containing a trace of petroleum ether to afford the title compound, m.p. 150.degree. - 152.degree. C., .gamma..sub.max.sup.CHCl.sbsp.3 3325 and 1705 cm.sup.-1.
An equivalent amount of methyl acetoacetate may replace ethyl acetoacetate in the procedure of this Example. In this case, 1-methyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indole-acetic acid methyl ester, m.p. 87 - 90.degree. C. after recrystallization from benzene-hexane, is obtained as the ester.
An equivalent amount of propyl acetoacetate may replace ethyl acetoacetate in the procedure of this Example. In this case, 1-methyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indole-1-acetic acid propyl ester is obtained as the ester.
EXAMPLE 2
1-METHYL-1,3,4,9-TETRAHYDROPYRANO[3,4-b]INDOLE-1-PROPIONIC ACID (VII; R.sup.1 = CH.sub.3, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6 AND R.sup.7 = H, X = O AND Z = CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 COOH)
A mixture of the starting material of formula II, tryptophol (500 mg.), levulinic acid (580 mg.), 75 ml. of benzene, 1.7 g. of phosphorus pentoxide and about 0.5 g. of diatomaceous earth (Celite) is stirred magnetically at room temperature for 15 minutes and then at 70.degree. C. for 11/2 hr. The reaction mixture is filtered. The filtrate is washed three times with 5N NaOH; the combined aqueous phase is washed twice with ether and then rendered acidic with cold 50% HCl. The aqueous phase is extracted with chloroform. The chloroform extract is dried (Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4) and evaporated to dryness. The residue is crystallized from ethyl acetate-petroleum ether to afford the title compound, m.p. 104.degree. - 110.degree. C., nmr (CDCl.sub.3) .delta.1.47 (3H), 21.8 (4H), 2.74 (2H), 3.96 (2H), 7.18 (4H), 7.85 (1H), 9.60 (1.H).
The above title compound is also obtained by following the procedure of Example 1 but replacing ethyl acetoacetate with an equivalent amount of ethyl levulinate. In this case 1-methyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indole-1-propionic acid ethyl ester, m.p. 116.degree. - 118.degree. C., .gamma..sub.max.sup.CHCl.sbsp.3 1716 cm.sup.-1, after crystallization from benzene-petroleum ether, is obtained as the ester prior to hydrolysis.
EXAMPLE 3
1-METHYL-1,3,4,9-TETRAHYDROTHIOPYRANO[3,4-b]INDOLE-1-ACETIC ACID (VII; R.sup.1 = CH.sub.3, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6 AND R.sup.7 = H, X = S AND Z = CH.sub.2 COOH)
Indole-3-ethanethiol (1.5 g.) and methyl acetoacetate are mixed with 50 ml. of benzene and the solution heated for 30 min. (bath temperature 70.degree. - 80.degree. C.). p-Toluenesulfonic acid (0.15 g.) is added and the reaction mixture is subjected to reflux and stirring for 12 hours. Water formed in the reaction mixture during this period is collected by a water separator. After cooling the benzene solution is washed with 10% solution of sodium bicarbonate, water, saturated brine and dried over sodium sulfate. Evaporation of the benzene solution yields the ester, 1-methyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydrothiopyrano[3,4-b]indole-1-acetic acid methyl ester as a semi-solid, .gamma..sub.max.sup.CHCl.sbsp.3 1715 cm.sup.-1.
This ester is then treated with aqueous alcoholic KOH in the manner described for the esters in Example 1 and 2 to afford the title compound, m.p. 147.degree. -149.degree. C., nmr (CDCl.sub.3) .delta.1.86 (S, 3H), 306 and 812 (6H), 7.35 (multiplet, 4H), 8.71 (1H), 10.31 (1H), after recrystallization from benzene-hexane.
The procedures of Examples 1, or 3 are followed to prepare other compounds of formula VII in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6 and X are as defined in the first instance, R.sup.7 is hydrogen and Z is COOR.sup.19 or Alk.sup.1 --COOR.sup.19 wherein R.sup.19 and Alk.sup.1 are as defined in the first instance. Examples of such compounds of formula VII are listed in Tables I and II. In each of these examples an equivalent amount of the starting material of formula II listed therein is used instead of the starting material of formula II described in the procedures of Examples 1 and 3. Note that in each of these examples the ester obtained prior to hydrolysis is a corresponding ester compound of formula VII.
Similarly, the procedure of Example 2 is used to prepare the products listed in Tables I and II. In this case an equivalent amount of the starting material of formula II, listed therein, is used instead of the starting material of formula II described in Example 2 and an equivalent amount of the corresponding ketoacid of formula VI is used instead of the ketoester of formula VI listed therein.

To a stirred solution of 1-methyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indole-1-acetic acid (15 g, 0.061 mole), prepared as described in Example 1, in dry tetrahydrofuran (300 ml), cooled to ;b -5.degree. C., is added triethylamine (18.5 g, 0.183 mole), followed by ethyl chloroformate (16.6 g, 0.153 mole). The mixture is stirred at -5.degree. C. for 2 hr. This mixture, which now contains the mixed anhydride of the above starting material, is added dropwise to a cooled 40% aqueous solution of the amine, dimethylamine (225 ml). The resulting mixture is stirred at room temperature for one-half hour. Most of the tetrahydrofuran is evaporated, and the residue partitioned between chloroform and water. The organic phase is washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate, and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue is subjected to chromatography on silica gel. Elution with 20% ethyl acetate in benzene, followed by crystallization of the eluate from ethyl acetate affords the title compound, m.p. 149.degree.-151.degree.

By following the procedure of Example 126 but using as starting material an equivalent amount of one of the acid compounds of formula VII, described in Examples 2 to 125, instead of 1-methyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indole-1-aceticacid, and using an equivalent amount of an appropriate amine such as ammonia or a primary or secondary amine described in Example 126, then the corresponding amide compound of formula VII is obtained. Examples of such amides are listed as products in Tables III, IV, V, and VI together with the appropriate starting material and amine used for the preparation of the amide. In each case the starting material is noted by the example in which it is prepared.

A solution of N,N,1-trimethyl-1-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano-[3,4-b]indole-1-acetamide (5.0 g, 0.018mole), prepared as described in Example 126, is added dropwise to a cooled, well-stirred mixture of lithium aluminum hydride (1.4 g, 0.036 mole) in 200 ml of ether. Stirring is continued for one hour at room temperature, than the mixture is heated under reflux for 2 hr.
After cooling in an ice-water bath, 6.2 ml of water is added dropwise to destroy the excess hydride. Then 100 ml more of water is added and the ether phase decanted. The aqueous phase is extracted once with benzene. The combined organic phases are washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate, and evaporated to dryness to afford 5 g of oil which crystallized on standing. The crystallized product is recrystallized from ether to afford the pure title compound, m.p. 133.degree. - 135.degree. C., nmr(CDC1.sub.3).delta.1.53 (s, 3H), 2.07 (2H), 9.74 (1H), 10.55 (6H).

1-Methyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indole-1-acetic acid (10 g., 0.04 mole), prepared as described in Example 1, in 150 ml. of tetrahydrofuran is added dropwise to a stirred suspension of sodium hydride (4.4 g. of 55% dispersion) in 200 ml. of tetrahydrofuran. This mixture is heated at 50.degree. C. with stirring for 2 hr. Methyl iodide (14.2 g. 0.1 mole) is added dropwise and heating and stirring is continued for a further 2 hr.
After cooling, water is added until the solution is clear. The tetrahydrofuran is evaporated off under reduced pressure, the residue is partitioned between water and benzene. The aqueous phase is washed once with benzene, made acidic with HC1, and extracted with benzene (3.times.). The organic phase is washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate and treated with charcoal. The organic layer is evaporated. The residue is crystallized from benzene and then ether-petroleum ether to afford the title compound, m.p. 105.degree. - 108.degree.

A solution of N,N,1,9-tetramethyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indole-1-acetamide (12.0 g), described in Example 572, in dry tetrahydrofuran (100 ml.) is added dropwise to a mechanically stirred mixture of lithium aluminum hydride (5 g) in dry tetrahydrofuran (THF) (100 ml.). The mixture is heated at reflux for twenty hours under nitrogen. Water-THF (1:1, 50 ml.) is added to destroy the excess hydride. The mixture is filtered through celite, diluted with water (300 ml.) and extracted three times with ether. The organic phase is dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure to yield the title compound, nmr (CDCl.sub.3) .delta.1.66 (3H), 2.70 (6H), 3.83 (3H).
The corresponding hydrochloric acid addition salt, 1,9-dimethyl-1-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano-[3,4-b]indole hydrochloride, had m.p. 229.degree. - 230.degree. C. after crystallization from methylene dichloride-benzene.
By following the procedure of Example 674 but using as starting material an equivalent amount of one of the N-alkylated amide compounds of formula VII, described in Examples 573 to 673 instead of N,N,1,9-tetramethyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydro[3,4-b]indole-1-acetamide then the corresponding N-alkylated amine compound of formula I is obtained. Examples of such compounds are listed as products in Tables XV and XVI together with the appropriate starting material. In each case the starting material is noted by the example in which it is prepared.

5-Benzyloxy-3-triytophol (II; R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 = H, R.sup.6 = 5-benzyloxy and X.sup.1 = OH), m.p. 93.degree. - 95.degree. C., is prepared by lithium aluminum hydride reduction of ethyl 5-benzyloxy-3-indoleglyoxalate (British Pat. No. 778,823) according to the procedure of Example 309. Subsequent treatment of 5-benzyloxy-3-tryptophol with the ketone, acetone, according to the procedure of Example 785 affords 6-benzyloxy-1,1-dimethyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indole (VII; R.sup.1 M CH.sub.3), nmr (CDCl.sub.3) .delta.1.53 (6H), 2.73 (t, 2H), 4.03 (t, 2H), 5.10 (2H), 6.67 - 7.83 (9H). The latter compound is then N-alkylated with the organic halide, dimethylaminoethyl chloride, according to the procedure of Example 838 to afford 6-benzyloxy-1,1-dimethyl-9-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indole, which on treatment with hydrochloric acid gives the corresponding hydrochloric acid addition salt thereof, m.p. 209.degree.

The latter compound, 6-benzyloxy-1,1-dimethyl-9-(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indole hydrochloride (11.5 g., 0.028M) in 600 ml. of absolute ethanol and 600 mg of 10% palladium on carbon is stirred at room temperature under a hydrogen atmosphere for 22 hr. until no more hydrogen is taken up by the reaction. The catalyst is collected on celite and the filtrate concentrated to afford the corresponding hydrochloric acid addition salt of the title compound, m.p. 225.degree. - 228.degree. C., after recrystallization from ethanol-ether.
The title compound [free base, nmr (CDCl.sub.3) .delta.1.61 (6H), 2.57 (t, J = 5 cps, 2H), 3.86 (t, J = 5 cps, 2H)] is obtained by decomposing the hydrochloric acid addition salt, for example, by washing a chloroform solution of the salt with 10% sodium hydroxide solution and evaporating the solvent.
By replacing 5-benzyloxy-3-tryptophol with an equivalent amount of 7-benzyloxy-3-tryptophol in the procedure of this example, 1,1-dimethyl-9-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indole-8-ol is obtained.

1-Methyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indole-1-acetamide (20.0 g., 0.817 mole), described in Example 126, is dissolved in dry methylene chloride (400 ml) and freshly prepared triethyloxonium fluoroborate (17.00 g., 0.894 mole) is added in one portion to the solution. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 2 hr. The methylene chloride solution is washed with cold 30% aqueous potassium carbonate followed by brine and the dried organic layer is concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is dissolved in ether (150 ml.). The solution is filtered and crystallization proceeds at room temperature to afford ethyl-1-methyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indole-1-acetimidate, m.p. 139.5.degree. - 141.degree. C.
The latter compound (4.79 g., 0.0176 mole) dissolved in dry THF (100 ml.) is added dropwise to a stirred and ice-cooled suspension of lithium aluminum hydride (1.75 g., 0.046 mole) in THF (50 ml.). The reaction mixture is stirred overnight at room temperature and then dilute sodium hydroxide is added dropwise to decompose excess hydride. The precipitate is collected by filtration and the filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure thus affording a residue which is extracted with methylene chloride. The organic layers are washed with brine, dried (MgSO.sub.4) and concentration of the solvent and crystallization from ether affords the title compound, m.p. 80.degree. - 84.degree.

The compound of formula I in which R.sup.7 = H and Y = amino(lower)alkyl,1-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-1-methyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydrothiopyrano[3,4-b]indole (822 mg), described in Example 398, is dissolved in 15 ml of DMF and 15 ml of benzene. To remove all possible traces of water, a portion of this benzene is distilled. After cooling to 0.degree., 140 mg of sodium hydride (54% suspension in mineral oil) is added, and the mixture stirred for 15 min. Alkylation is accomplished by addition of 350 mg of ethyl bromide and stirring the reaction mixture at 0.degree. for 20 min. The resulting suspension is poured onto cracked ice, extracted with chloroform, the organic layer washed repeatedly with water and evaporated. Chromatography of the residue on silica gel (20 g) using chloroform-methanol (0-10%) affords the title compound, which after crystallization from ether hexane has m.p. 86.degree. - 88.degree. C., .gamma..sub.max.sup.CHCl.sbsp.3 2820, 2765, 1600, 1568, 1537 cm.sup.-1, nmr (CDCl.sub.3) .delta.2.20 (s, 6H), 2.30 (m, 4H).
The corresponding hydrochloric acid addition salt of the title compound, 1-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-9-ethyl-1-methyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydrothiopyrano[3,4-b]indole hydrochloride, has m.p. 220.degree. - 222.degree. C.
By following the procedure of Example 911 and using an appropriate compound of formula I in which R.sup.7 is hydrogen and Y is an amino(lower)alkyl, for instance those described in Example 309 to 487, together with the appropriate organic halide, then other compounds of formula I in which R.sup.7 is lower alkyl, lower alkenyl, propargyl, phenyl(lower)alkyl or amino(lower)alkyl are obtained.
For example, the use of the same compound of formula I as described in Example 911 with an equivalent amount of methyl bromide, instead of ethyl bromide, in the procedure of Example 911 gives 1,9-dimethyl-1-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-1,3,4,9-tetrahydrothiopyrano[3,4-b]indole, nmr (CDCl.sub.3) .delta. 3.72 (s, 6H), 6.40 (s, 3H), identical to the product of Example 732. The corresponding hydrochloric acid addition salt of this latter compound, 1,9-dimethyl-1-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-1,3,4,9-tetrahydrothiopyrano[3,4-b]indole hydrochloride has m.p. 244.degree.-246.degree. C.
Likewise, the use of the same compound of formula I as described in Example 911 with an equivalent amount of propyl bromide, instead of ethyl bromide, gives 1-[2-(dimethylamino)-ethyl]-1-methyl-9-propyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydrothiopyrano[3,4-b]-indole.
