When X is alkoxy the compound of Formula V can be treated with acid such as, for example, 48% hydrobromic acid, to yield the corresponding hydroxy compound of Formula VI. The reaction is typically carried out at reflux for from about 1 hour to about 12 hours, preferably from about 2 hours to about 4 hours.
The hydroxy compound of Formula VI is treated with the appropriate isocyanate, carbamoylchloride or carbonyldiimidazole and an amine to obtain the compound of Formula VII wherein R.sup.7 is (C.sub.1 -C.sub.10)alkyl or aryl(C.sub.1 -C.sub.10)alkyl. The reaction is carried in an inert organic solvent such as for example ethyl acetate for about 0.5 hours to about 24 hours, optionally in the presence of a catalyst such as for example copper(I)chloride.
Additionally, the hydroxy compound of Formula VI can be treated with an alkyl, aryl or aralkylhalide, such as for example a benzyl halide, under basic conditions as known in the art to yield the corresponding alkoxy, aryloxy or arylalkoxy compounds of Formula V. ##STR26##
Alternatively, the compounds wherein R.sup.1 is hydrogen are synthesized as shown in Reaction Scheme B wherein the amino compound of Formula VIII is reacted with the halo, preferably chloro, compound of Formula IX to obtain the compound of Formula X. The reaction is typically carried out in a polar inert solvent such as dimethylformamide (DMF). The amino compound of Formula VIII is first converted to its corresponding salt, such as, for example, its sodium salt, by reaction with sodium hydride at ambient temperature for about 1 hour. The salt is subsequently reacted without isolation with the halo compound at from about ambient temperature to about 150.degree. C., preferably from about 100.degree. C. to about 130.degree. C. for about 1 hour.
In the case where X is alkoxy, the compound of Formula X is converted to the corresponding hydroxy compound of Formula XI essentially as described for the compound of Formula VI. Subsequent treatment with an isocyanate yields both the monosubstituted compound of Formula XII and the disubstituted compound of Formula XIII. The mixture of the compounds of Formula XII and XIII can be separated by means known in the art, for example, chromatographically. ##STR27##
In the case where R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 together form a ring, the chloro compound of Formula III when X is alkoxy is reacted with the cyclic amino compound of Formula XVI or XVII to yield the compound of Formula XVIII or XVIX respectively as shown in Reaction Scheme C. The reaction is typically carried out neat in a sealed tube at a temperature of from about 100.degree. C. to about 200.degree. C., preferably from about 120.degree. C. to about 180.degree. C., most preferably from about 130.degree. C. to about 150.degree. C. for from about 1.0 hour to about 100 hours, preferably from about 1 hour to about 72 hours, most preferably from about 2 hours to about 48 hours.
In the case where R.sup.7 is hydrogen, the compound of Formula XVIII can then be reacted with the appropriate halo compound, optionally in the presence of a base such as triethylamine or sodium bicarbonate to obtain the desired compounds where R.sup.7, R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 is not hydrogen. The reaction is typically carried out either reactor in an organic solvent such as for example methylene chloride, dimethylformamide or ethanol. Alternatively, R.sup.7, R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 can be other than hydrogen in the first step depicted in this reaction scheme.
The alkoxy compounds are then reacted as shown in Reaction Scheme A. ##STR28##
In the case where X is amino or substituted amino the compounds can be prepared from the corresponding nitro compound which is reduced, by known means, for example, by catalytic reduction. The amino compound is subsequently acylated by means known in the art to provide the amide compounds of the invention. The nitro compounds can be prepared either by nitration of the compound of Formula III or V by means known in the art.
The starting compounds of Formula III are prepared by means known in the art, for example Yevich, J. P. et al., J. Med Chem., 29, 359-69 (1986).
The starting compound of Formula VIII are prepared from the corresponding orthofluorobenzonitriles or orthonitrobenzonitriles as shown in Reaction Scheme D.
More particularly the benzonitrile of Formula XIV where Q is fluoro or nitro and X is as stated above or nitro is reacted with acetohydroxamic acid in an inert polar solvent such as, for example DMF in the presence of a base such as, for example, potassium tertiary butoxide, to obtain the amino compound of Formula VIII directly. Alternatively, the benzonitrile of Formula XIV is reacted with acetone oxime in the presence of a base such as, for example, sodium hydride, to yield the corresponding methylethylideneaminoxybenzonitrile of Formula XV. The compound of Formula XV is subsequently cyclized to the corresponding amino compound of Formula VIII by treatment with acid such as, for example, hydrochloric acid. ##STR29##
The starting compounds of Formula III or VIII where X is alkoxy are brominated by means known in the art to obtain the corresponding brominated compound.
More particularly, as shown in Reaction Scheme E, the compound of Formula III is brominated in an acid such as for example, acetic acid, at about ambient temperature and the compound of Formula XVI is brominated in a solvent such as for example, methanol at low temperature, preferably, at about -50.degree. C. ##STR30##

Cholinesterase Inhibition Assay
Cholinesterases are found through the body, both in the brain and in serum. However, only brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE) distribution is correlated with central cholinergix innervation. This same innervation is suggested to be weakened in Alzheimer patients. We have determined in vitro inhibition of acetylcholinesterase activity in rat striatum.
In Vitro Inhibition of Acetylcholinesterase Activity in Rat Striatum
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE), which is sometimes called true or specific cholinesterase, is found in nerve cells, skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, various glands and red blood cells. AChE may be distinguished from other cholinesterases by substrate and inhibitor specificities and by regional distribution. Its distribution in brain roughly correlates with cholinergic innervation and subfractionation shows the highest level in nerve terminals.
It is generally accepted that the physiological role of AChE is the rapid hydrolysis and inactivation of acetylcholine. Inhibitors of AChE show marked cholinomimetic effects in cholinergically-innervated effector organs and have been used therapeutically in the treatment of glaucoma, myasthenia gravis and paralytic ileus. However, recent studies have suggested that AChE inhibitors may also be beneficial in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
The method described below was used in this invention for assaying cholinesterase activity. This is a modification of the method of Ellman et al., Biochem. Pharmacol. 7, 88 (1961).

Inhibition of Type A and Type B Monoamine Oxidase Activity in Rat Brain Synaptosomes
Purpose
To determine the selective inhibition of the two forms of monoamine oxidase (MAO).
Introduction
The metabolic deamination of amines has been known for over a hundred years, but more recently Johnston 1) described two forms of monoamine oxidase, which are called "type A" and "type B". The existence of the two forms is based on different substrate and inhibitor specificities. Serotonin (5HT) and norepinephrine (NE) are substrates for type A MAO, .beta.-phenethylamine (PEA) and benzylamine are substrates for type B MAO, while dopamine (DA) and tyramine are substrates for both types. Clorgyline is a selective inhibitor of the type A enzyme, deprenyl and pargyline are selective inhibitors of the type B enzyme and tranylcypromine and iproniazid are nonselective inhibitors (2). It is recognized that MAO inhibitors have antidepressant properties.
Although various methods for measuring MAO activity are available, the described method involves the extraction of the radiolabeled deaminated metabolites of �.sup.3 H!-5HT or �.sup.14 C!-.beta.-phenethylamine. This procedure allows MAO-A and MAO-B activities to be measured either simultaneously or individually (3).
Procedure
A. Reagents
1. Phosphate buffer (0.5M), pH 7.4
134.4 g NaH.sub.2 PO.sub.4.7H.sub.2 O, bring to 1 liter in distilled H.sub.2 O (A)
17.3 g Na.sub.2 HPO.sub.4, bring to 250 ml in distilled H.sub.2 O (B)
Adjust pH of A to 7.4 by slowly adding B (volumes as needed)
Dilute 1:10 in distilled H.sub.2 O (0.05M PO.sub.4 buffer, pH 7.4)
2. 0.25M Sucrose (PO.sub.4 buffered)
21.4 g sucrose, bring to 250 ml with 0.05M PO.sub.4 buffer
3. Substrate for MAO-A
a. Serotonin creatinine SO.sub.4 (5HT) is obtained from Sigma Chemical Company.
A 5 mM stock solution is made up in 0.01N HCl. This is used to dilute the specific activity of the �.sup.3 H!-5HT.
b. �.sup.3 H!-5-Hydroxytryptamine creatinine SO.sub.4 (20-30 Ci/mmol) is obtained from New England Nuclear.
c. Add 12 .mu.l of �.sup.3 H!-5HT to 2 ml of the 5 mM 5HT solution. (Final amine concentration in the assay is 200 .mu.M: see below.)
4. Substrate for MAO-B
a. .beta.-phenethylamine (PEA) is obtained form Sigma Chemical Company. A 5 mM stock solution is made up in 0.01N HCl. This is used to dilute the specific activity of the �.sup.14 C!-PEA.
b. .beta.-�ethyl-1-.sup.14 C!-phenethylamine hydrochloride (40-50 mCi/mmol) is obtained from New England Nuclear.
c. Add 12 .mu.l of �.sup.14 C!-PEA to 2 ml of the 5 mM PEA solution. (final amine concentration in the assay is 200 .mu.M: see below.)
5. Equal amounts of MAO-A (5HT) and MAO-B (PEA) substrates are combined for simultaneously testing both MAO types, i.e. mixed stock solution of 2.5 mM 5HT and 2.5 mM PEA, 40 .mu.l of this mixed solution gives a 200 .mu.M final concentration of each amine in the assay. When testing only one MAO type, the individual 5 mM stock solutions must be diluted 1:1 with distilled water prior to adding 40 .mu.l to the incubation mixture; i.e., same 200 .mu.M final amine concentration.
B. Tissue Preparation
Male Wistar rats weighing 150-250 grams were sacrificed and the brains rapidly removed. Whole brain minus cerebellum was homogenized in 30 volumes of ice-cold, phosphate-buffered 0.25M sucrose, using a Potter-Elvehjem homogenizer. The homogenate was centrifuged at 1000 g for 10 minutes and the supernatant (S.sub.1) decanted and recentrifuged at 18,000 g for 20 minutes. The resulting pellet (P.sub.2) was resuspended in fresh 0.25M sucrose and served as the tissue source for mitochondrial MAO.
C. Assay
10 .mu.l 0.5M PO.sub.4 buffer, pH 7.4
50 .mu.l H.sub.2 O or appropriate drug concentration
400 .mu.l Tissue suspension
Tubes are preincubated for 15 minutes at 37.degree. C. and the assay is started by adding 40 .mu.l of combined substrate (�.sup.3 H!-5HT and �.sup.14 C!-PEA at 15 second intervals. The tubes are incubated for 30 minutes at 37.degree. C. and the reaction stopped by the addition of 0.3 ml 2N HCl. Tissue blank values are determined by adding the acid before the radioactive substrate. The oxidative products of the reaction are extracted with ethyl acetate/toluene (1:1). 5 ml of this mixture is added to the tubes. The resultant mixture is vortexed for 15 seconds to extract the deaminated metabolites into the organic phase and the latter is allowed to separate from the aqueous phase. The tubes are placed in acetone/dry ice bath to freeze the aqueous layer. When this layer is frozen, the top organic layer is poured into a scintillation vial. 10 ml of Liquiscint is added and the samples are counted using window settings for .sup.14 C in one channel and .sup.3 H in the second channel. IC.sub.50 values are determined by log-probit analysis.

Ex vivo Monoamine Oxidase Inhibition Assay
The enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO) exists in two catalytically distinguishable forms termed MAO-A and MAO-B. The ability of the compounds of the invention to inhibit MAO ex vivo in the rat was determined using a procedure adapted from the procedure set forth in The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, Vol. 248, No. 1, (1989), pp. 400-414.
Procedure
The compound to be tested was administered to male Wistar rats orally. At specified times after administration the rats were decapitated and the whole brain without cerebellum was dissected rapidly and frozen on dry ice. The samples were stored at -80.degree. C. until measurement of the MAO activity. After thawing, the tissues were homogenized in 5 volumes of 0.1 mol/l of potassium-phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, using all glass homogenisers. MAO activity was determined essentially as described by Wurtman and Axelrod. Biochem. Pharmacol. 12: 1439-1441, (1963).
The enzyme reaction was started by addition of 80 .mu.l of the MAO-A substrate �.sup.3 H!-5-HT (0.96 mCi/mmol, final amine concentration is 200 .mu.M or of the MAO-B substrate �.sup.14 C!PEA (0.192 mCi/mmol, final amine concentration is 200 .mu.M and the incubation continued for 10 minutes at 37.degree. C. Then, the reaction was stopped by addition of 200 .mu.l of 2N HCl, and the deaminated metabolites were extracted by vigorous shaking for 10 minutes with 5 ml of diethylether (5-HT-extraction) or n-heptane (PEA-extraction). After centrifugation (1000.times.g; 30 sec) the water-phase was frozen in dry ice and the organic layer poured into plastic vials containing 5 ml of scintillation cocktail. Finally, the radioactivity was determined in a scintillation spectrometer. Reaction mixtures as described above but lacking the homogenate served as blanks.
The results are presented in Table III.

METHOD A
To stirred solution of acetohydroxamic acid (24.6 g) in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (400 ml) was added potassium tertiary butoxide (36.8 g) under nitrogen and stirring was continued for 1 hour. 2-Fluoro-4-methoxy-benzonitrile (33 g) was added to the reaction mixture and stirring was continued for 6 hours. TLC (silica gel) with 10% acetone/chloroform showed no starting material. The reaction was diluted with ethyl acetate (.about.3 L) and suction filtered. The filtrate was collected and washed with brine (4.times.1 L), dried (MgSO.sub.4) and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting solid was recrystallized from dichloromethane/petroleum ether affording 20 g of product.
Alternatively, 4-methoxy-2-nitro-benzonitrile can be substituted for 2-fluoro-4-methoxy benzonitrile to obtain the same product.
METHOD B
In 20 ml of DMF was dissolved acetone oxime (0.74 g), followed by sodium hydride (0.30 g). After this mixture had stirred for 30 minutes, 4-methoxy-2-nitro-benzonitrile (1.50 g) was added. After an additional 30 minutes the reaction was poured into water (500 ml) and filtered. The solid was collected and dissolved in DCM (250 ml), dried (MgSO.sub.4), and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting solid was recrystallized from ethanol to yield 1.5 g of 4-methoxy-2-��(1-methylethylidene)-amino!oxy!benzonitrile, m.p. 78-79.degree. C.
