Process for the preparation of lipide soluble complexes of cations, application of the process and use of the complexes

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
A great number of complexes are known which are formed by the reaction of an organic compound and a metal ion. Most of these complexes, however, are formed by a charged complex forming agent, for example, like the anion of a carboxylic acid, and the so formed complexes are generally not lipide soluble, even if the complex forming agent prior to its reaction with the metal ion had been soluble in organic solvents. Examples of such prior art complexes are the complexes of the tartaric acid or the acetoacetic acid with a great variety of different metal ions.
In recent times, however, (see W. E. Morf and W. Simon, Helvetica Chimica Acta Vol. 54, pages 2'683 - 2'704, 1971) lipide soluble complexes of ammonium and alkali metal ions and certain antibiotics of the valinomycin group, like the macrotetrolides, were discovered. The complex forming agent of these complexes is a material of biological origin and these complexes are formed from uncharged antibiotics and the corresponding monovalent cations. In those complexes, the non-solvatized monovalent ions are surrounded, that is, encased by the antibiotic and the polar groups of the antibiotic are directed to the interior part of the antibiotic, so that the metal ion is coordinated by 5 - 8 oxygen atoms. The surface of such complexes is lipophilic because the non-polar groups of the antibiotic are situated at the surface of the complex. This results in complexes of the antibiotics what are are highly soluble in lipides.
Furthermore, it is known that the above stated antibiotics can be used in ion sensitive membranes for the potentiometric determination of the concentration of alkali metal ions. Measuring electrodes of such antibiotics are similar to glass electrodes, the ion sensitive member of such electrodes, however, is not a glass membrane but rather a membrane which contains the antibiotics, e.g. a membrane containing a solution of such antibiotics.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
One object of the present invention is the preparation of new complexes which consist of an uncharged complex forming agent and a cation and in which the uncharged complex forming agent is not of biological origin but is a synthetically prepared complex forming agent. The complexes are lipide soluble and the stability constant thereof is not influenced severely by the pH-value.
It has now been surprisingly found that new complexes of the above described kind, preferably complexes of metal ions, or ammonium ions can be prepared by using an uncharged organic compound or substance which can be either a compound having an open chain or a cyclic compound, provided that such compound has a certain arrangement of polar groups, e.g. groups containing oxygen or sulphur and non-polar groups, i.e. groups consisting essentially of hydro-carbon radicals.
The present invention concerns a process for the preparation of lipide soluble complexes of cations which comprises reacting an uncharged complex forming substance having the formula I
A--X--CR.sub.2).sub.n ].sub.m A I
in which
the group
A is a group terminating the chain which optionally comprises further groups X or wherein two groups Y when taken together with the group
--X--CR.sub.2).sub.n ].sub.m
form a ring
X is a group having the formula ##EQU1## wherein in those groups Y and Y' are independent from each other oxygen or sulphur and wherein in the compounds of formula I at least one group X is
other than an ether group and on the other hand at least one of the groups X is other than an ester group or acid amide group. Furthermore in those compounds of formula I which do not have a cyclic structure and in which the radicals X, which are ether groups alternate in the chain with radicals X having which are ester groups and wherein the radicals
R are hydrogen atoms or organic radicals or two radicals R together with the carbon atom to which they are bonded form a ring structure or a heterocyclic ring and
m is an integer having a maximum value of 12 and
n independently from each another are integers of from 1 - 15, the sum of all the members of the chain or the members of the ring which are formed by groups X or groups having the formula --CR.sub.2 -- is not more than 50 and form a complex with a metal ion or ammonium ion.
In the complex forming agents having the formula I
m is preferably an integer of from 2 - 12. If the stochiometric ratio between the complex forming agent and the cation is 1 : 1 in the formed complex, then
m of the complex forming agent of formula I is preferably an integer in the range of from 4 - 12.
In the compounds or substances of formula I the sum of all the members of the chain or the members of the ring which are formed by groups X or by groups having the formula --CR.sub.2 -- is preferably in the range of 10 - 50, e.g. in the range of 20 - 50. Furthermore, the complex forming agents having the formula I are preferably free of groups which are able to undergo an acid-base-reaction, i.e. free of --COOH groups, sulphonic acid groups and amino groups. The compounds of formula I can however comprise carbonic acid amide groups and thiocarbonic acid amide groups, as can be clearly seen from the above definition of the group X in formula I. In order to achieve good solubility in lipides, furthermore, the radical A and the radicals R are preferably free of hydroxy groups.
If the stochiometric ratio of cation to complex forming agents in the formed complexes is 1 : 1, then the complex forming agent shall comprise in its molecule preferably at least 4 groups X and often the complex forming agents have 6 or more groups X per molecule. If, however, the stochiometric ratio between the cation and the complex forming agent is higher than 1 : 1, then a complex formation can be achieved also with complex forming agents of formula I, which have less than 4 groups X and in which, accordingly, m has a value of below 4.
Preferred complex forming agents which are used for the preparation of the lipide soluble complexes have the following formula II ##EQU2## wherein in said formula II x is an integer of from 1 - 6, the both y's are independent from each other and are integers of from 1 - 5 and
the both z's are independent from each other and are integers of rom 1 - 15 and
B is either a terminating group A or a group having the formula
-- X -- (CR.sub.2).sub.n -- A
and optionally two groups A form together a member which closes the compound of formula II to a ring structure and wherein the number of all the members of the chain or the ring formed by groups X and groups having the formula --CR.sub.2 -- is not more than 50, and preferably not more than 42. In those groups having the formula -CR.sub.2 - which are not directly bonded to the terminal group such as the ring closing group B, i.e. the groups (CR.sub.2).sub.x and (CR.sub.2).sub.y preferably all the radicals R are hydrogen atoms. Furthermore, those complex forming agents are especially preferred in which x has a value of 2 and both y's are 1. A specially preferred structure of the complex forming agent accordingly has the following formula III ##EQU3## wherein Y and Y' are independent from each other and are oxygen atoms or sulphur atoms and
B is a terminating group A or a group having the formula
-- (CR.sub.2).sub.n -- X -- A
as already stated, for the compounds having the formula II and also in the above named compounds of formula III, both groups A, when taken together, can be a group which performs the ring closure of the compounds of formula III, i.e. both groups X are linked via the ring closing group.
Furthermore, it is to be noted that those compounds having the formula III are specially suited to use in the present invention when they have a symmetrical structure, i.e. Y and when Y' have the same meaning and both radicals X have as well the same meaning and also the both radicals B are either identical with each another or are the atoms which are necessary to perform the ring closure. Such compounds form especially stable complexes, preferably with ammonium ions, alkali metal ions and 2-valent and 3-valent ions like alkaline earth metal ions and in which both radicals Y and Y' are oxygen atoms and both groups X - B are acid amide groups. As it will be explained in more detail hereinafter, those compounds having the formula III, in which the groups --X--B are acid amide groups form generally more stable complexes than compounds having an equivalent structure, in which however the groups --X--B are for example ether groups or ester groups.
In the especially preferred complex forming agents having the formula III, accordingly, both radicals Y and Y' are oxygen atoms and both groups
-- X -- B
are groups having the formula ##EQU4## wherein R.sub.1 is an organic radical and
R.sub.2 is a hydrogen atom or an organic radical or
the radicals R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 together with the nitrogen atom form a heterocyclic radical comprising optionally further hetero atoms, or the both radicals R.sub.1 of the two groups of formula ##EQU5## form together a group which closes the compounds of formula III to form a cyclic structure.
Especially preferred complex forming agents are those having the formula IV below ##EQU6## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 have the above stated meaning.
With regard to the corresponding calcium complexes and barium complexes, i.e. complexes formed with Ca.sup.+.sup.+ and Ba.sup.+.sup.+ ions respectively, compounds which correspond to the compounds of the above stated formula IV but in which instead of both oxygen atoms forming the ether linkages, there are present further -CH.sub.2 -groups, such compounds either form no complexes at all or simply complexes which are less stable than complexes formed with the compounds having the formula IV. Also corresponding complexes in which there is an alkylene chain between the acid amide groups which does not comprise 6-CH.sub.2 -groups but rather a higher number or a lower number of --CH.sub.2 --groups either form no complexes at all or less stable complexes than the compounds having the formula IV. Furthermore, it is to be noted also that compounds of formula IV which do not have the unit
--CH.sub.2 -- O -- CH.sub.2 -- CH.sub.2 -- O--CH.sub.2 --
but instead a unit having the formula
-- CH.sub.2 -- CH.sub.2 -- O -- CH.sub.2 -- CH.sub.2 -- O -- CH.sub.2 -- CH.sub.2 --
possess less suitable complex forming activities.
In a specially preferred complex forming agent having the formula IV, the groups of the formula ##EQU7## can e.g. have the following structure ##EQU8## wherein a is an integer of from 1 - 12 and
Z is a group having the formula ##EQU9## R.sub.2 is a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl radical and R.sub.3 is either an alkyl-, cycloalkyl-, aralkyl-, aryl- or heterocyclic radical, which terminates both chains or both radicals R.sub.3 of the stated terminal groups form together a group uniting both terminal groups to form a ring structure and which ring closing group is preferably an alkylene radical or an alkylene radical which is interrupted by further radicals Z.
Both acid amide groups of the compounds having the formula IV preferably have the same structure, i.e. R.sub.2, and A and Z the same meaning in both acid amide groups and the radical R.sub.3, furthermore, either has the same meaning in both of those groups or it is a group of symmetrical structure which closes both ends of the chain to form a ring structure. In the especially preferred compounds of the above stated structure which contain acid amide groups, both acid amide groups have the formula ##EQU10## and which are either, when taken separately, groups having the formula ##EQU11## or
-- NH--(CH.sub.2).sub.9 --CH.sub.3
or both groups together form a unit having the formula ##EQU12##
A further preferred complex forming agent having the formula IV is the following ##EQU13## wherein Alk is an optionally substituted alkyl radical, preferably a methyl-, ethyl-, propyl-, tert.-butyl- or benzyl radical.
Complex forming agents of formula IV in which the radical R.sub.1 is bonded via at least one CH.sub.2 -group to the nitrogen atom, show a good selectivity for calcium over other ions.
Further preferred complex forming agents having the formula IV are those in which in both groups having the formula ##EQU14## both radicals R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 when taken separately are aromatic radicals or heterocyclic radicals or when taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded are a heterocyclic radical comprising optionally further hetero atoms. The aromatic radicals can be phenyl radicals or substituted phenyl radicals and the heterocyclic radical can, for example be a morpholino radical or a carbazole radical. Some of these last mentioned complex forming agents have a good complex forming activity with respect to barium ions.
Examples of compounds which are somewhat similar to the specially preferred complex forming agents of formula IV and which however form either no complexes with calcium ions or have only a low complex forming activity with respect to calcium ions are compounds having the following structure: 1,1,3,3,6-dioxa-subericacid-bis-(1-(3-hydroxipropyl)-2-pyrrolidon)-esters having the formula ##EQU15##
The above stated compounds do not form complexes with calcium ions because they have an ester group and no acid amide group. Also esters having the following formulae do not form complexes with calcium ions. ##EQU16##
Compounds which differ from the compounds having the formula IV in that between the oxygen atom of the ether group and the acid amide group there are present more than one --CH.sub.2 --group, e.g. 2-CH.sub.2 -groups are less selective complex forming agents for calcium ions than the compounds having the formula IV. Some of these compounds, however, have a rather good selectivity with regard to barium ions.
Compounds which have a structure which is similar to those of formula IV but which, however, do not have an acid amide group but an ester group, generally have a higher complex forming activity for monovalent ions than for divalent ions. Examples for compounds of the last said case are those corresponding to formula III, in which Y and Y' are oxygen atoms and the groups -X-B are radicals having the formula ##EQU17## wherein R is preferably a radical selected from the following groups:
-- (CH.sub.2).sub.5 -- COO -- C.sub.2 H.sub.5
-- (ch.sub.2).sub.9 -- coo -- c.sub.2 h.sub.5
-- (ch.sub.2).sub.9 -- ch.sub.3
such compounds form complexes with ammonium ions.
If in the compounds having the formulae I, II and III respectively, the groups X are ester groups, thioester groups, carbonic acid amide groups and thiocarbonic ester amide groups then of course the carbon atom of said groups has not to be bonded to a certain radical of the formula -C.sub.2 -. This means that, if for example in the compounds of formula II, in the unit
-- CR.sub.2).sub.y X-- (CR.sub.2).sub.z --
the radical X is an ester group, this unit comprises groups having the formula ##EQU18## as well as groups having the formula ##EQU19##
The complex forming agent of formula I and the complexes prepared according to the inventive process possess a sufficiently high selectivity so that they can be applied in electrodes having an ion sensitive membrane. For example, the preferred complexes formed with the complex forming agent of formula IV can be used for the determination of calcium ions and barium ions, using an electrode cell assembly which is similar to a glass electrode cell assembly in which, however, instead of a glass membrane, there is used a membrane which contains the complex forming material or the complex or a mixture of both. Such electrodes are somewhat generally like the electrode described in the U.S. Pat. No. 3,562,129, and which electrodes are ion specific with regard to alkali metals and contain antibiotics.
When ion selective electrodes are produced, the ion selective member of such electrodes can be prepared by impregnating a carrier material with the corresponding cation complex. It, however, is also possible to prepare an ion selective membrane which does not contain the cation complex itself, but only the complex forming agent and then under the working condition of the electrode, the complex forming agent is at least partially converted into the corresponding complex by bringing the electrode into contact with the cations which are contained either in the solution to be measured or in the buffer solution employed with the electrode. In the last case, the complex forming reaction accordingly occurs in the ion sensitive membrane itself.
A further object of the invention accordingly is the application of the inventive process for the determination of the concentration of cations or for the performance of an electro dialysis wherein the complex forming reaction between the compounds of formula I and the cation is performed in a membrane. A membrane which contains such a complex, however, cannot only be used as ion sensitive member of a measuring electrode for the determination of the concentrations of cations, but can also be used in a membrane for the separation of ions by electro dialysis. The ions the concentration of which shall be altered by such electro dialysis are preferably ions which are alkaline earth metals, alkali metals and ammonium ions.
In the above mentioned application of the inventive process, the membranes can be prepared as follows:
The complex forming agent is introduced into a membrane of polyvinyl chloride. Preferably, this is done by the following procedure: The polyvinyl chloride is dissolved in tetra-hydro furane and the complex forming agent of formula I as well as 1-octyloxy-2-nitrophenol which forms a solvent for calcium ions is added thereto.
The solution is cast to form a membrane and two aqueous solutions containing those ions which are to be tested as to the ion specifity of the membrane are separated from each another by said membrane. Then voltage is applied to the assembly and those ions for which the membrane is ion sensitive, are selectively transported via the membrane.
A compound having the formula IV, in which the groups of formula ##EQU20## are groups having the following formula ##EQU21## was tested. A membrane containing the compound was interposed between two aqueous solutions which contained calcium ions as well as other alkali metal ions and alkaline earth metal ions. The calcium ions were selectively transported via the membrane.
A membrane of the above stated kind or a membrane which contains as active ingredient a compound having the formula IV, in which in the above stated acid amide group R.sub.1 is an n-propyl radical and R.sub.2 is a radical having the formula -CH.sub.2 -C(CH.sub.3).sub.3 can be also used as the ion sensitive membrane in an electrode for the determination of calcium ions. The selectivity of calcium over sodium of such kinds of electrodes is so high that they can be used for the determination of calcium ions in blood serum in which, as it is well known in the art, the concentration of sodium ions is far higher than the concentration of calcium ions.
The complexes prepared according to the inventive process are soluble in lipides and, therefore, such complexes, especially the corresponding complexes with metal ions, can be used as catalysts which exhibit the desired solubility in organic systems. For example, the calcium complex of the above stated complex forming agents used for the preparation of the membrane, can be used for such a purpose.
Further compounds of the general formula IV which are highly selective for calcium ions are those in which the acid amide groups, the group having the formula ##EQU22## is one of the following groups: ##EQU23##
Compounds having the formula IV, and which contain the above stated group in the acid amide group and in which the radicals R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are aromatic radicals or heterocyclic radicals or in which both radicals R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded, form a heterocyclic ring system, and which optionally comprises further heteroatoms, generally possess a complex forming activity with regard to barium ions. As special compounds of the last mentioned kind, there are those of formula IV in which in the both amide groups of the given formula, the radicals R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are unsubstituted phenyl radicals or the radicals R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 form together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded, a carbazole radical.
The compounds used for the preparation of the complexes according to the inventive process and having the formula I and the preferred compounds of the formulae II, III and IV are generally new compounds. They, however, can be prepared according to processes which are as such known in the organic chemistry.

There follows descriptions of preparations methods for making special compounds of formula IV and which also the preparation of one compound which does not correspond to formula IV and was prepared for comparative test purposes.
PREPARATION I
Preparation of 3,15,18,30 -tetraoxa-4,13,20,29-tetraoxo-12,21-diaza-dotriacontane
The compound corresponds to the following formula IV ##EQU24## and in this formula both radicals R.sub.2 are hydrogen atoms and both radicals R.sub.1 are groups having the formula -(CH.sub.2).sub.7 -COO-C.sub.2 H.sub.5.
a. Preparation of 8-amino-caprylic acid ethylester
1.5 grams (9.43 millimoles) of 8-amino-caprylic acid (Fluka, puriss.) were suspended in ethanol and gaseous HCl was introduced into the suspension until the acid had dissolved. The solution was refluxed for 48 hours and, thereafter, concentrated in vacuo using a rotating evaporator. 0.1 molar sodium hydroxide was added to the residue and an extraction with chloroform performed. A yield of 1.46 grams (7.8 millimoles) of the ethyl ester of the 8-amino-caprylic acid was obtained (83% of theory).

b. Preparation of 3,15,18,30-tetraoxa-4,13,20,29-tetraoxo-12,21-diaza-dotriacontane
The preparation of triglycolic acid dichloride starting from triethylene glycol was described in the doctoral thesis of J. P. Sauvage, Louis Pasteur University, Strassbourg, 1971. According to that process, triethylene glycol is oxidized to form the corresponding dicarboxylic acid and the acid is reacted with oxalyl chloride to form the dichloride of the triglycolic acid. In the present preparation, however, thionyl chloride was used instead of oxalyl chloride.
0.79 gram (4.24 millimoles) of ethyl 8-aminocaprylate (ethyl ester of the 8-amino caprylic acid) was dissolved in 100 ml pyridine. The solution was stirred and 0.46 gram (0.11 millimoles) of triglycolic acid dichloride dissolved in 20 ml of ether was added slowly thereto. The reaction mixture was stirred for an additional 17 hours at room temperature and thereafter concentrated. The remaining pyridine was stripped off two times with benzene as an azeotropic mixture. The pyiridinium hydrochloride was removed by extracting the material twice with water/ether mixture in a separatory funnel. The product was recrystallized from acetone. 0.70 gram (1.35 millimoles, 64 % of theory) of the desired product were obtained.
