Water is available ad libitum. On the test day, animals in groups of 3 are injected intraperitoneally with 30 mg/kg of the test compound prepared in an appropriate vehicle. Thirty minutes later, histamine at a dosage level of 1.2 mg/kg (=2.times.the LD.sub.99) is injected into a marginal ear vein. Survival of the guinea pigs for 24 hrs is positive evidence of antihistamine activity. If the vehicle used for the test compound is other than water, its effect is established by testing an equal amount as a control. The dose protecting 50% of the animals (PD.sub.50) from death may be established from dose response curves. The compounds have low potential for sedation.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention encompasses a novel process for preparing aromatic-1,4-oxazepinones and thiones by reaction of haloaromatic carboxylates an alkanolamines followed by cyclization of the novel chemical intermediates produced therein.
The novel process of the invention comprises the steps of:
Step 1, reacting an aromatic compound of the formula: ##STR5## wherein A is as defined under Formulas II and III above, and Y is defined under Formula I, and R.sup.3 is selected from hydrogen, an alkali-metal or an esterifying group with an alkanolamine compound of the formula: ##STR6## wherein Z, R, R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and n are as defined under Formula I and R.sup.6 is hydrogen or an amine protecting group using one of the following conditions (a) and (b):
(a) firstly, reacting the alkanolamine compound or alkanolamine compound having a protected or unprotected amine function with a strong alkali-metal non-nucleophilic base, and secondly, reacting the product thereof with the aromatic compound and deprotecting the amine function, if protected, to give a compound of the formula: ##STR7## wherein A, Z, Y, R, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and n have the starting values, or
(b) reacting the aromatic compound wherein R.sup.3 is hydrogen or alkali-metal with the alkanolamine in the presence of a dehydrating agent or a condensation agent to give a compound of the formula: ##STR8## wherein A, Z, Y, R, R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and n have the starting values;
Step 2, cyclizing a compound prepared in step 1 to give a compound of the formula: ##STR9## wherein A, Z, Y, R, R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and n have the starting values and as defined under Formula I, and
Step 3, optionally when desired, reacting a compound prepared in step 2 with a sulfurizing agent to give a compound of the formula: ##STR10## wherein A, Z, Y, R, R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and n have the starting values and as defined under Formula I.
Compounds of Formula Ia and Ib are encompassed by Formula I.
In reference to the processes of the invention as they apply to the preparation of compounds of Formulas I, II, and III, the following further description is pertinent.
In Step 1, an aromatic halide having a carboxylic acid function in an adjacent position is reacted with an alkanolamine to give either an ether or a carboxamide type intermediate.
In the first variation of Step 1, i.e., Step 1-a, the alkanolamine is reacted with a strong non-nucleophilic base such as potassium hydride, sodium hydride, sodamide or potassium t-butoxide, preferably potassium hydride in an appropriate solvent such as tetrahydrofuran at a suitable temperature. The haloaromatic carboxylic acid or carboxylate is added to the solution, cooling usually being required. When an unprotected alkanolamine is used, potassium hydride is the preferred base. When a protected alkanolamine [i.e., the amine function is prevented from competing for the base (see bottom of Chart I)], any of the strong non-nucleophilic bases are suitable. The protecting group is removed by hydrolysis. The resulting compounds, Formula II, are isolated by conventional means, usually by evaporating and partitioning between water and a suitable solvent such as isopropyl ether, the product potassium carboxylate salt being in the aqueous layer. The product is obtained by evaporation and precipitation or the solution is used in the next step. In the second variation, i.e., Step 1-b, the alkanolamine and haloaromatic carboxylic acid or salt thereof are reacted in the presence of a dehydrating agent, preferably dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) in a suitable solvent such as acetonitrile and water, or in the presence of a mixed anhydride condensation agent, preferably mesyl chloride in pyridine. The reaction is exothermic and requires cooling. When DCC is used and the alkanolamine is a primary amine, the yield is greatly enhanced by the use of an N-hydroxy compound such as 1 -hydroxybenzotriazole. Unreacted dicyclohexylcarbodiimide is decomposed by acidifying and the mixture is filtered and the solid discarded. The mixture is evaporated to remove most of the solvent and the product is isolated by partitioning between a suitable organic solvent, preferably chloroform or methylene chloride and aqueous base, the product being in the organic solvent layer and isolatable therefrom by conventional means such as evaporation and precipitation.
In Step 2, cyclization of the ether type carboxylic acid and ester intermediates (Formula II) prepared in Step 1a may be accomplished by use of additional strong non-nucleophilic base in suitable heated solvent, preferably tetrahydrofuran, see Examples 2 and 6. Example 6 illustrates the total synthesis without isolating the intermediate and using 2 molar equivalents of potassium hydride. Example 7 illustrates the use of cyclizing agent: phenyl-N-phenylphosphoramidochloridate [preparation described by Mestres, R. and Polomo, C. in Synthesis (Apr. 1982), page 288-291] using the ether (Formula II) compound as potassium carboxylate salt. The amide type intermediates (Formula III) prepared in Step 1-b are cyclized using a strong non-nucleophylic base selected from such as alkali-metal hydride, alkali-metal amide or K-t-butoxide in a suitable refluxing solvent such as tetrahydrofuran or toluene. Products are isolated by usual procedures as illustrated in Examples 1 and 3, conveniently as an acid addition salt. The free base of any acid addition salt in the process may be generated by partitioning between a suitable solvent for the free base and an aqueous basic solution.
In Step 3, the compounds of Formula Ia may be converted to the thione of Formula Ib by heating together with a sulfurizing agent in a suitable solvent such as pyridine or toluene, see Examples 4 and 5. The thione may be isolated by conventional means, preferably by partitioning between an organic solvent and dilute alkali-metal base and crystallizing from a suitable solvent as an acid addition salt.
Starting materials for the preparation of compounds of Formula IV are obtained by known procedures 1 and 2 represented by equations in Charts III and IV. ##STR11##
The starting compounds of Formula V are generally available by methods in the literature.
The following preparations and examples illustrate the preparation of chemical intermediates and the aromatic 1,4-oxazepinones and thiones and the process of the invention.
Attached Table 1 illustrates by structure the antihistaminic aromatic-1,4-oxazepinones and thiones of Formula I and not limited to salt form shown, which may be prepared by the process of the invention utilizing an appropriate alkanolamine and appropriate haloaromatic carboxylic acid or carboxylate in the procedures outlined herein; however, the scope of the invention is not limited thereby.

The oxalate salt was also identical to that obtained in Example 2.
EXAMPLE 7
2-[2-(Dimethylamino)ethyl]-2,3-dihydropyrido[3,2-f]1,4-oxazepin-5(4H)-one
To a solution of 0.01 mole of 2-[2-(1-amino-4-dimethylamino-2-butyloxy)]-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid potassium salt, obtained in Preparation 4 in 40 ml of methylene chloride was added 0.012 mole of triethylamine and 0.02 mole of phenyl-N-phenylphosphoramidochloridate and the solution was stirred overnight at room temperature. The resulting solution was extracted with dilute hydrochloric acid. The acid layer was separated, made basic with sodium hydroxide and extracted continuously for 24 hr with chloroform. The extract was evaporated to give the title product which was shown by NMR to be that of the free base as compared to a known sample.
