We have unexpectedly found that compounds of the general formula II contain active hydrogens in the methylene group which is in the beta position related to the nitrogens and these active hydrogens are suitable for electrophilic substitution reactions. Thus compounds of the formula I exhibit valuable biological activity and serve as starting materials for the preparation of valuable biologically active compounds. Thus nitrogen bridgehead compounds of the formula I and derivatives thereof can be used in therapy.
The prepared compounds of the formula I may exist in three tautomeric forms: ##STR10##
Depending upon the nature of the substituents one or another tautomeric form may predominate or two tautomeric forms under given circumstances may form an equilibrium mixture which may be shown by spectroscopic methods. Each tautomeric form may exist in the form of Z-E geometric isomers too. In the Examples the prepared products are named considering the prevailing form.
The present invention includes the possible geometric isomers and racemic and optically active forms of the nitrogen bridgehead compounds of the formula I.
In process step (a.sub.1) the nitrogen bridgehead compound of the general formula II is added to a solution of dihalogeno methylene ammonium halide in an inert solvent; the compound of the formula II may be dissolved, if desired, in an inert solvent, and the reaction is completed by heating. The formed nitrogen bridgehead compound of the formula Ia is preferably isolated by evaporating the reaction mixture followed by crystallization of the residue.
The reaction of the process step (a.sub.1) is carried out in an inert solvent, such as hydrocarbons, preferably benzene, toluene, xylene, or chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as chloroform, dichloromethane, chlorobenzene, etc. The reaction is carried out at a temperature of 0.degree.-180.degree. C., preferably at 10.degree.-120.degree. C. The formed compound of the formula Ia may be converted to a compound of the formula I by reacting it for example with an amine, without isolation.
The process step (a.sub.2) is preferably carried out by adding dropwise an alcoholic solution of alkali hydroxide under mild external cooling to an alcoholic solution of the nitrogen bridgehead compound of the formula II and carbondisulfide of the formula IV and stirring the reaction mixture preferably at room temperature. The compounds of the formula Ib formed in the reaction are recovered, if desired, by removing the solvent at reduced pressure. According to another preferable embodiment of the process variant the formed compound of the formula Ib is converted to a compound of the formula I without isolation by using, for example alkylating agents.
As alcohols preferably methanol, ethanol, n- or isopropanol or n-butanol may be employed. As the alkali hydroxide, sodium or potassium hydroxide is preferred. The reaction is preferably carried out at 0.degree. to 120.degree. C. To 1 mole of nitrogen bridgehead compound of the formula II 1 to 5 moles of carbon disulfide of the formula IV are used.
According to process step (a.sub.3) the nitrogen bridgehead compound of the formula II may be reacted with an isocyanate of the formula V without any solvent or in the presence of an inert solvent. If a solvent is used the formed compound of the formula Ic is precipitating from the reaction mixture and may be removed by filtration. If the formed compound of the formula Ic does not precipitate from the reaction mixture then the mixture is evaporated at a reduced pressure and the obtained residue is recrystallized from a suitable solvent. If the reaction is carried out without solvent, the reaction mixture is crystallized from a suitable solvent when the reaction is completed. The reaction is carried out at 0.degree.-250.degree. C. The reaction temperature depends on the starting materials. For 1 mole of nitrogen bridgehead compound of the formula II, 1 to 3 moles of the isocyanate of the formula V are used.
