Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is directed to a new method of treating cognitive deficiencies such as memory loss, Alzheimer's disease, and other dementias using dihydroquinazoline derivatives as the active ingredients.

Tetrahydroacridine derivatives have been reported to possess acetylcholinesterase inhibiting activity, which properties have been found useful in the treatment of cognitive deficit states. For example, tacrine, 9-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroaminoacridine, has proved effective in the alleviation of symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. Dependent on the dosing sequence for effective results, use of tetrahydroaminoacridines may cause liver toxicity. Tetrahydroaminoacridines are also known to be mutagenic.

It has now been found that certain quinazoline derivatives also possess cholinesterase inhibiting activity and are thus useful for treating cognitive deficiencies such as: Alzheimer's disease, senile dementias, multiple infarct dementias, and other conditions where memory and cognitive function improvement or stabilization is desired. The present quinazoline derivatives may also be useful in eliminating symptoms of tardive dyskinesia, e.g., induced by tricyclic antidepressants, Huntington's chorea, and the side effects caused by centrally acting anticholinergics, e.g., tricyclic antidepressants, scopolamine, quinuclidinyl benzilate and the like. The above compounds would also be useful in the treatment of manic depressive disorder.

It is believed that the present quinazoline derivatives lacking the aromatic amine moiety of the tetrahydroaminoacridines will not possess the toxicity of the tetrahydroaminoacridines.

acceptable acid addition salt thereof.

As pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the compounds of Formula I are those of inorganic and organic acids. Preferred inorganic acid salts are, for example, hydrochlorides, hydrobromides, hydroiodides, sulfates, phosphates, and the like. Preferred organic acid salts are acetates, oxalates, maleates, fumarates, lactates, malates, citrates, tartrates, succinates, benzoates, methanesulfonates, and the like. Also preferred are salts of amino acids such as glycinates, alaninates, carnitinates, cysteinates, and the like, including their corresponding N-acetyl derivatives and also salts of polyhydroxy acids as gluconates, acetylneuraminates, alginates, galacturates, galacturonates, and the like.

The compounds of the present invention or salts thereof may also form hydrates or solvates; the hydrates and solvates thereof are also included in the compounds of the present invention.

Depending on the substituents on A or substituents forming a part of M, when M represents ##STR19## of Formula I, the compounds of the present invention may also contain one or more asymmetric carbon atoms, which optical isomers and/or diastereomers are included as part of the present invention.

The compounds of the present invention and of Formula I may be prepared according to the following procedures.

When M.dbd.O, the compounds of Formula I may be prepared by reacting an anthranilic acid of the formula ##STR20## or a reactive derivative thereof, in which X is as defined above, with a lactam or cyclic iminoether or cyclic imidoyl chloride of the formulae ##STR21## in which is as defined above and Ra is alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, preferably methyl or ethyl.

Anthranilic acids of Formula VI are either commercially available or may be prepared by known methods from commercially available starting materials, e.g., prepared from the corresponding isatines: T. Sandmeyer, Helv. Chim. Acta, 2:234 (1919), by oxidation with alkaline hydrogen peroxide, following the procedure described by Baker, et al., J. Org. Chem., 17:141 (1952) for the synthesis of 3-chloroanthranilic acid.

The lactams of Formula VIIa are also either commercially available or may be prepared by known methods from commercially available materials.

Reactive derivatives of anthranilic acids are the anhydrides, also called isatoic anhydrides, 2-(sulfinylamino)benzoyl chlorides or esters, preferably methyl or ethyl, which may be used instead of the anthranilic acids per se.

When the anthranilic acids are used per se, the reaction with VIIb or VIIc takes place at temperatures at or above room temperature and, preferably, at the boiling point of the solvent. The solvent employed is a nonpolar solvent such as, for example, benzene, toluene, xylene, chloroform, methylene chloride, carbon tetrachloride, and the like. Water formed during the reaction may be removed by means of an azeotropic trap.

An isatoic anhydride or 2-(sulfinylamino)benzyl chloride may be used as a reactant with the appropriate lactam of Formula VIIa. The 2-(sulfinylamino)benzoyl chloride is prepared by known means by reacting the corresponding anthranilic acid with thionyl chloride. The reaction of the 2-(sulfinylamino)benzoyl chloride with the lactam may proceed at 0.degree. C. to about 50.degree. C. for about 1 to 24 hours also with the same nonpolar solvent.

An isatoic anhydride formed by action of phosgene on the corresponding anthranilic acid of Formula VI may be used as a starting material and reacted with the appropriate lactam at elevated temperatures, for example, 150.degree. C.-200.degree. C.

A cyclic imino ether of Formula VIIb may be used in the reactions of anthranilic acids or their esters under similar conditions of time, temperatures, and solvent. The cyclic imino ether may be available commercially or prepared from the lactam by reaction with alkylating agents such as dimethyl sulfate, triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate, or methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate, followed by reaction with base, as described in the literature.

Anthranilic acids or esters of anthranilic acids of Formula VI, preferably methyl or ethyl, may also be used as starting materials and reacted with an imidoyl halide, e.g., chloride VIIc, prepared by treating the corresponding lactam with phosphorus oxychloride. The reaction takes place at room temperature or above (60.degree. C.) in an organic solvent, such as chloroform.

When M.dbd.R,R', compounds of Formula I may be prepared by heating a corresponding imidoyl chloride, as prepared above, with a compound of the formula ##STR22## where X, R, and R' are as defined above. The reaction takes place at or above room temperature, preferably between 10.degree. C. and 130.degree. C. in an organic solvent, e.g., chloroform, toluene, chlorobenzene, or a mixture thereof for about 1 to 48 hours.

The starting compounds of Formula VII may be prepared by known methods from commercially available materials. For example, by the well-known Beckmann rearrangement from the corresponding ketoximes, either commercially available or prepared by literature methods, well known to those skilled in the art.

When both R and R' are hydrogen, the compounds of Formula I may be prepared directly from the corresponding compounds of Formula I when M.dbd.O by chemical reduction with zinc and hydrochloric acid in the presence of acetic acid. The reaction takes place at 40.degree. C.-100.degree. C., preferably 50.degree. C.-60.degree. C., and between 10 minutes to 5 hours. These compounds can also be prepared by reductive desulfurization with Raney nickel in tetrahydrofuran, or alcohol at 10.degree. C.-100.degree. C., preferably 60.degree. C., of the compounds of Formula I, when M.dbd.S, readily prepared from the corresponding oxo-compounds of Formula I, M.dbd.O, as described below.

When M.dbd.NH, the compounds of Formula I may be prepared by reacting a compound of the formula ##STR23## with the appropriate lactim derivative of the Formula VIIb (lactim ether). The reactions are performed at elevated temperatures, e.g., 100.degree. C. to 200.degree. C., preferably 140.degree. C., for about 1 to 5 days in inert (nitrogen or argon) atmosphere.

These compounds can also be prepared by the treatment of the cyano intermediate IX with an imidoyl chloride VIIc at 0.degree. C.-100.degree. C. (preferably 25.degree. C.), for 1 to 48 hours. The imidoyl chlorides are prepared from the corresponding lactams VIIa by the treatment with phosphorus oxychloride, or analogous reagents, as is well known to those skilled in the art. The resulting compound of the Formula X ##STR24## may, if desired to form a compound where R is other than hydrogen, be treated with a corresponding bromide R--Br or iodide R--I, in the presence of sodium hydride.

Alternatively, such compounds can be obtained by the treatment of the corresponding thiones (compounds of the Formula I, where M.dbd.S, obtained as described below), with ammonia or amines R--NH.sub.2 at elevated temperatures (60.degree. C.-180.degree. C.).

When M.dbd.S, the compounds of the Formula I may be prepared by reacting a compound of Formula I when M.dbd.O with phosphorus pentasulfide or the Lawesson reagent, [2,4-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3-dithia-2,4-diphosphetane-2,4-disulfide] at 100.degree.-150.degree. C., preferably at 110.degree. C. in boiling toluene for 24 hours.

The compounds of the present invention and of Formula I are inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase, centrally acting with favorable distribution into the central nervous system versus the periphery. They also may be inhibitors of cholinesterase other than acetylcholinesterase, and may stop or reverse Alzheimer's disease plaques and tangles (amyloid protein) formation by inhibition of the protease enzymes responsible for their formation.

Representative compounds of the present invention have been found to possess acetylcholinesterase inhibiting effects in vitro as shown in the following table. The in vitro data was obtained according to the radiometric assay of C. D. Johnson and R. L. Russell described in Anal. Biochem., 64:229-238 (1975) and modified as described by M. R. Emmerling and H. M. Sobkowicz in Hearings Research, 32:137-146 (1988); the rat brain homogenate acetylcholinesterase inhibition data were obtained by the Ellman assay, described by G. L. Ellman, D. Courtney, V. Andres, and R. M. Feathersome, described in Biochem. Pharmacol. 7:88-95 (1961), and modified as described by M. J. Marks, D. M. Patinkin, L. D. Artman, J. B. Busch, and A. C. Collins in Pharmacol. Biochem. and Behav.15:271-279 (1981), which references are incorporated herein.

EXAMPLE 1

I. 3-Chloro-7,8,9,10-tetrahydroazpino[2,1-b]quinazolin-12(6H)-one

To a stirred slurry of 17.16 g of 4-chloroanthranilic acid (Aldrich) in 120 mL benzene was added 14 mL 1-aza-2-methoxy-1-cycloheptene (1) (Aldrich) and refluxed under nitrogen using an azeotropic Dean-Stark trap to remove the water/methanol formed by the reaction. After 2 hours of reflux, 5 mL of the methoxyimine (1) was added and 2 mL more after 18 hours. The mixture was then refluxed for 4 more hours. The solvent was distilled out and the excess of (1) was removed by distillation at 140.degree. C. (bath) at 11 mm Hg. A dark brown oil formed which soon crystallized. There was a single mobile spot on TLC (4:1 chloroform-ethyl acetate, Rf=0.6, silica gel). The mixture was chromatographed using the above solvent system, the corresponding fractions concentrated in vacuo and the residue was recrystallized from hexane-ethyl acetate, giving 19.08 g of the 3-chloro-6,7,8,9-tetrahydroazepino[2,1-b]quinazolin-12(6H)-one (76.7% yield), m.p. 106.degree.-108.degree. C.

II. 3-Chloro-7,8,9,10-tetrahydroazepino[2,1-b]quinazolin-12(6H)-thione

10 g of 3-chloro-7,8,9,10-tetrahydroazepino[2,1-b]quinazolin-12(6H)-one was treated with 15 g of Lawesson's reagent in toluene at reflux under nitrogen, until the starting material was consumed, as checked by TLC, using chloroform as eluent (24 hours). The mixture was concentrated in vacuo and chromatographed on silica gel, using chloroform as eluent. The bright yellow material was recrystallized from hexane-ethyl acetate, giving lemon-yellow needles, m.p. 99.degree. C.-101.degree. C.

III. 3-Chloro-6,7,8,9,10,12-hexahydroazepino[2,1-b]quinazoline

To a solution of 2 g of 3-chloro-7,8,9,10-tetrahydroazepino[2,1-b]quinazolin-12(6H)-one, dissolved in 50 mL of glacial acetic acid was stirred 25 g of zinc dust with vigorous mechanical stirring. The mixture was heated to 55.degree. C.-60.degree. C. and concentrated hydrochloric acid was added dropwise (approximately 20 mL). The reaction was checked by TLC. Usually between 20 minutes to 5 hours were required for completion. The excess zinc was filtered off, the solution concentrated in vacuo, and basified with 20% sodium hydroxide solution. The product was extracted with tetrahydrofuran. Then the free base was chromatographed using 300:25:1 CHCl.sub.3 :MeOH:28% aqueous ammonia. The corresponding fractions were combined, concentrated in vacuo, and dried in high vacuum providing the 3-chloro-6,7,8,9,10,12-hexahydroazepino[2,1-b]quinazoline as a white crystalline solid; m.p. 102.degree. C.-104.degree. C. To convert to its hydrochloride salt, the base was treated with one equivalent of 4N HCl in 50 mL absolute ethanol. The solution was concentrated in vacuo, redissolved in absolute ethanol, and concentrated in vacuo. Then the hydrochloride was recrystallized from absolute ethyl alcohol with little ethyl acetate, giving white crystals, m.p. 270.degree. C.-271.degree. C. (dec.).

I. 1,3-Dichloro-7,8,9,10-tetrahydroazepino[2,1-b]quinazolin-12(6H)-one

To a stirred suspension of 15 g of 4,6-dichloroanthranilic acid (prepared from the corresponding isatine: T. Sandmeyer Helv. Chim. Acta, 2:234 (1919), by oxidation with alkaline hydrogen peroxide, following the procedure described by Baker et al., J. Org. Chem., 17:141 (1952) for the synthesis of 3-chloroanthranilic acid) in 100 mL of toluene was added 20 g of 1-aza-2-methoxy-1-cycloheptene. The mixture was stirred for an hour at room temperature, followed by heating under reflux for 18 hours. Then the mixture was concentrated in vacuo and volatile material was removed at 130.degree. C. at 1 torr. The dark brown residue was chromatographed using 8:1 chloroform-ethyl acetate to give 9 g of the desired material as a crystalline solid, m.p. 110.degree. C.-112.degree. C.

EXAMPLE 11

1,3-dichloro-11H-pyrido[2,1-b]quinazolin-11-imine

Ten grams of 4,6-dichloro-2-nitroaniline (Aldrich Chemical Co.) was dissolved in 100 mL of anhydrous diethyl ether and cooled in an ice bath so that the internal temperature was between 5.degree. C.-10.degree. C. throughout the reaction. To this yellow solution was added 15 mL of 60% aqueous tetrafluoroboric acid (Aldrich Chemical Co.) and to this vigorously stirred solution was added in small portions 18 g of solid nitrosylsulfuric acid over a period of 4 hours. Then 10 mL of absolute ethanol was added and the white crystalline solid diazonium salt was filtered off with suction and washed twice with 60 mL diethyl ether and all of the solvent was removed by suction on the Buchner funnel. The filter cake was wetted immediately with 10 mL of saturated aqueous solution of sodium tetrafluoroborate. This paste was then added in small portions to a vigorously stirred mixture of 35 g of cuprous cyanide and 22 g of potassium cyanide in 300 mL of water. After the exothermic reaction subsided, the mixture was stirred 1 hour at room temperature and then briefly warmed to 60.degree. C. Then it was filtered and the solids as well as the filtrate were extracted with chloroform 4.times.100 mL. The extract was dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give 6.8 g of light brown solid 2-nitro-4,6-dichlorobenzonitrile, reasonably pure for the further transformation. Chromatography 4:1 chloroform/hexane followed by recrystallization from diethyl ether gave pure 4,6-dichloro-2-nitrobenzonitrile, with m.p. 102.degree.-103.degree. C. (Diazotization of 4,6-dichloro-2-nitroaniline in large excess of sulfuric acid, followed by reaction with CuCN/KCN in aqueous media by the methodology described by Atkinson, C. M. and Simpson, J. C. E., J. Chem. Soc., 1947:232, produced only very erratic results). The 4,6-dichloro-2-aminobenzonitrile was prepared by reduction of the above 2-nitro-4,6-dichlorobenzonitrile with stannous chloride using analogous conditions to those described by R. L. Mckee, M. K. Mckee, and R. W. Bost in J. Am. Chem. Soc. 69:940 (1947), and found to have m.p. 140.degree.-141.degree. C. Five grams of 4,6-dichloro-2-aminobenzonitrile and 6 mL of 2-chloropyridine in 20 mL of chlorobenzene were heated to boil until the reaction was judged complete by TLC (300:20:1 chloroform/methanol/28% aqueous ammonia). The excess solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was distributed between 100 mL 10% aqueous sodium carbonate and chloroform. The chloroform layer was dried with anhydrous potassium carbonate, filtered, and the residue was column chromatographed on silica gel, using the above solvent as eluent. Concentration of the appropriate fractions yielded the 1,3-dichloro-11H-pyrido[2,1-b]quinazolin-11-imine as yellowish solid.

The above methodology is used to prepare the following compounds by heating the appropriately substituted 2-aminobenzonitrile derivative with the appropriately substituted 2-chloro-(or 2-fluoro- or 2-bromopyridine derivative) in the absence of a solvent or in the presence of solvent such as toluene, chlorobenzene, o-dichlorobenzene, anisole, 1,3-dimethoxybenzene, phenol and the like:

EXAMPLE 12

1,3-dichloro-6,7,8,9,10,11,12,14-octahydro-6,10:8,12-dimethanoazonino[2,1-b]quinazoline

To 30 g of 2-adamantanone (Aldrich Chem. Co.) in 100 mL of methanol was added 50 g of hydroxylamine hydrochloride and 92 g of sodium acetate trihydrate and the mixture was refluxed for 2 hours. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo, the residue was distributed between 250 of dichloromethane and 50 mL of water. The organic layer was separated, dried with magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give 30 g of crude 2-adamantanone oxime. This was dissolved in 100 mL of chloroform and 135 g of PPE (polyphosphate ester, prepared by refluxing phosphorus pentoxide with diethyl ether in chloroform, as described by G. Schramm, H. Groetsch, and W. Pollmann, Angew. Chem., Internat. Ed., 1,1 (1962)) was added carefully. When the exothermic reaction ceased, the mixture was refluxed for 5 minutes. Then it was cool in ice, diluted with 500 mL of water and stirred overnight. The organic layer was separated, dried with magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give 16.6 g of the crude lactam product. This was dissolved in 250 of chloroform and 11 mL of phosphorus oxychloride was added dropwise in 30 minutes. To this was then added a solution of 15 g of 4,6-dichloroanthranilic acid and 4 of triethylamine in 150 mL of chloroform in 25 minute at room temperature. Then the mixture was refluxed for 16 hours. Column chromatography using 50:1 to 25:1 chloroform:methanol on silica gel provided 16 g of 1,3-dichloro-7,8,9,10,11,12-hexahydro-6,10:8,12-dimethanoazonino[2,1-b]quinazolin-14(6H)-one as white coarse crystals. This was then reduced with zinc and hydrochloric acid to the 1,3-dichloro-6,7,8,9,10,11,12,14-octahydro-6,10:8,12-dimethanoazonino[2,1-b]quinazoline by the same procedure as described in Example 2 to give after treatment with 1 equivalent of HCl and recrystallization from absolute alcohol/ethyl acetate 1,3-dichloro-6,7,8,9,10,11,12,14-octahydro-6,10:8,12-dimethanoazonino[2,1-b]quinazoline monohydrochloride as white crystalline solid, with m.p. 310.degree.

1,3-dichloro-7,8,9,10,11,12-hexahydro-6,10:8,12-dimethanoazonino[2,1-b]quinazolin-14(6H)-imine

To 30 g of 2-adamantanone (Aldrich Chem. Co.) in 100 mL of methanol was added 50 g of hydroxylamine hydrochloride and 92 g of sodium acetate trihydrate and the mixture was refluxed for 2 hours. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo, the residue was distributed between 250 mL of dichloromethane and 50 mL of water. The organic layer was separated, dried with magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give 30 g of crude 2-adamantanone oxime. This was dissolved in 100 mL of chloroform and 135 g of PPE (polyphosphate ester, prepared by refluxing phosphorus pentoxide with diethyl ether in chloroform, as described by G. Schramm, H. Groetsch, and W. Pollmann, Angew. Chem., Internat. Ed., 1,1 (1962)) was added carefully. When the exothermic reaction ceased, the mixture was refluxed for 5 minute. Then it was cooled in ice, diluted with 500 mL of water and stirred overnight. The organic layer was separated, dried with magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give 16.6 g of the crude lactam product. This was dissolved in 250 mL of chloroform and 11 mL of phosphorus oxychloride was added dropwise in 30 minutes. After stirring for additional 1 hour at room temperature, to this stirred mixture was added 25 mL of triethylamine and a solution of 16 g of 4,6-dichloro-2-aminobenzonitrile (4,6-dichloroanthranilonitrile) which was prepared by the methodology shown in Example 11.

The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hours, followed by reflux for 24 hours. Then the reaction mixture was treated with 500 mL of 15% aqueous potassium carbonate, the organic layer was separated, dried with anhydrous potassium carbonate and concentrated in vacuo. The dark brown residue was column chromatographed using 300:25:1 chloroform:methanol: 28% aqueous ammonia on silica gel. The corresponding fractions yielded the 1,3-dichloro-7,8,9,10,11,12-hexahydro-6,10:8,12-dimethanoazonino[2,1-b]quinazolin-14(6H)-imine as a light tan solid.

EXAMPLE 14

1,3-dichloro-11H-pyrido[2,1-b]quinazoline

Twenty-five grams of 4,6-dichloroanthranilic acid was added portionwise to 250 mL of methanol, saturated with anhydrous HCl at 0.degree. C. with vigorous stirring. The mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. Then the mixture was stirred at 60.degree. C. for 12 hours. Then the excess solvent was removed in vacuo into a cold trap and the residue was distributed between 100 mL of chloroform and 250 mL of 10% aqueous sodium carbonate. The organic layer was separated and dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After concentration in vacuo the residue was dissolved in 150 mL of dry THF and added dropwise into a solution of 20 g of lithium aluminum hydride in 500 mL of anhydrous THF in 30 minutes at 10.degree. C. Then the mixture was stirred at room temperature for I hour and then cooled in ice-salt bath and decomposed with saturated aqueous potassium carbonate. The precipitate was filtered off and the filtrate was dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was added portionwise into concentrated hydrochloric acid through which a gentle stream of hydrogen chloride was passed. The mixture was warmed to 60.degree. C. At the end of the reaction the solid that formed was collected and dried in a stream of nitrogen.

Five grams of the above solid 4,6-dichloro-2-aminobenzyl chloride hydrochloride was heated with 10 mL of 2-chloropyridine in 25 mL of chlorobenzene. The reaction was followed by TLC (300:20:1 chloroform/methanol/28% aqueous ammonia). When the reaction was complete, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo (cold trap). The residue was basified with saturated aqueous potassium carbonate and distributed between 50 mL of chloroform and 50 mL of water. The chloroform layer was separated, dried with anhydrous potassium carbonate and concentrated in vacuo. The brown residue was chromatographed using the above solvent system and the appropriate fractions were concentrated in vacuo to give a yellow solid. This was treated with one equivalent of 4N hydrochloric acid and coevaporated with 50 mL of absolute ethanol. The residue was recrystallized from absolute ethanol-ethyl acetate mixture to give the hydrochloride of 1,3-dichloro-11H-pyrido[2,1-b]quinazoline.

The above methodology is used to prepare the following compounds by heating the appropriately substituted 2-aminobenzyl chloride derivative hydrochloride with the appropriately substituted 2-chloro- (or 2-fluoro-or 2-bromopyridine derivative) in the absence of a solvent or in the presence of solvent such as toluene, chlorobenzene, dichlorobenzene, anisole, 1,3-dimethoxybenzene, phenol and the like.

EXAMPLE 15

(.+-.)-1,3-dichloro-6,9-dihydro-11H-6,9-methanopyrido[2,1-b]quinazoline hydrochloride

Two grams of 4,6-dichloroanthranilic acid was treated with 6 mL SOCl.sub.2 in 25 mL benzene and heated to boil for 30 minutes. Then all volatiles were distilled out in vacuo. The light brownish residue was dissolved in 25 mL CCl.sub.4 and cooled in ice bath. A solution of 1 g of (.+-.)-2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-3-one (Aldrich Chem. Co.) in 20 mL ethanol-free chloroform was added dropwise over a 2-hour period, then the mixture was stirred at room temperature for hours. Then the reaction mixture was refluxed briefly and concentrated in vacuo. The brown residue was chromatographed on silica gel using chloroformethyl acetate 12:1 as eluent. The corresponding fractions were concentrated in vacuo to provide the (.+-.)-1,3-dichloro-11H-6,9-methanopyrido[2,1-b]quinazolin-11-one. This was dissolved in 25 mL glacial acetic acid at 50.degree. C. Ten grams of zinc dust was added and the mixture was mechanically stirred. Then concentrated HCl was added dropwise (approximately 10 mL) in 7 minutes and the progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC. After 10 minutes, the excess of clumped zinc (pyrophoric!) was filtered off and the filtrate was diluted with 200 mL CHCl.sub.3 and basified carefully with 20% NaOH (ice cooling). After filtration, the organic layer was separated, dried with K.sub.2 CO.sub.3, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed using 300:25:1 CHCl.sub.3 :MeOH: 28% aqueous ammonia. The corresponding fractions were concentrated in vacuo, dissolved in 50 mL absolute ethanol, and treated with equivalent amount of 4N HCl. This was concentrated in vacuo and dried by twice coevaporating with 50 mL absolute EtOH. The residue was recrystallized from absolute ethyl alcohol-ethyl acetate to give white crystalline hydrochloride salt.

The (+) and (-) enantiomers are prepared by the same methodology from the commercially available enantiomeric lactams.

EXAMPLE 16

1,3-Dichloro-6,7,8,9,10,12-hexahydroazepino[2,1-b]quinazolin-12-ol Method A:

To a solution of 2 g of 1,3-dichloro-7,8,9,10-tetrahydroazepino[2,1-b]quinazolin-12(6H)-one in 100 mL of glacial acetic acid at 50.degree. C. was added an intimately mixed mixture of 15 g zinc dust and 15 g silica gel (column chromatography grade). To this mechanically stirred suspension was added dropwise concentrated hydrochloric acid, while the progress of the reaction was followed by TLC (20:1 CHCl.sub.3 :MeOH, basified aliquots, extracted into chloroform). When the reaction was essentially complete, excess zinc was filtered off (pyrophoric!) the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo, basified, extracted with chloroform, and the crude extract was chromatographed using 20:1 chloroform:methanol as eluent on a silica gel column. The corresponding fractions after concentration in vacuo gave the 1,3-dichloro-6,7,8,9,10,12-hexahydroazepino[2,1-b]quinazolin-12-ol as an off-white crystalline solid.

Method B:

To a solution of 1 g of 1,3-dichloro-7,8,9,10-tetrahydroazepino[2,1-b]quinazolin-12(6H)-one in 30 mL of hot triethylsilane was added 5 m of trifluoroacetic acid and the mixture was stirred at 100.degree. C.-110.degree. C. under nitrogen. More triethylsilane and trifluoroacetic acid were added until the reaction was substantially complete as evidenced by TLC (basified aliquot extracted into CHCl.sub.3). Then all volatiles were removed in vacuo and the residue was basified, extracted into chloroform, and chromatographed using 20:1 chloroform:methanol on a silica gel column. Concentration of the corresponding fractions provided the desired 1,3-dichloro-6,7,8,9,10,12-hexahydroazepino[2,1-b]quinazolin-12-ol as a greyish-white solid.
