Thiazine-1,1-dioxide and isothiazole-1,1-dioxide derivatives and process for preparation

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to 3,3-disubstituted-2,3-dihydrobenz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxides and to 3,3-disubstituted-2,3-dihydronaphtho[1,8-de]-1,2-thiazine-1,1-dioxides useful in the preparation of sulfam(na)phthaleins derived from certain perhalomethylcarbinol-substituted phenols and 1-naphthols and to the preparation of said 3,3-disubstituted compounds.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Various procedures have been reported for synthesizing 3-substituted-benz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxides and 3,3-disubstituted-2,3-dihydrobenz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxides from saccharin (3-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxide) and from saccharin pseudo-chloride (3-chlorobenz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxide). As reported by A. Mustafa et al, J. Chem. Soc., 1952, p. 1339, the treatment of saccharin pseudo-chloride with excess phenylmagnesium bromide gave the corresponding 3,3-diphenyl-2,3-dihydrobenz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxide in almost quantitative yield. Methyl-, ethyl-, n-propyl- and n-butylmagnesium halides were reported by these authors to react analogously. R. A. Abramovitch et al, J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans I, 1974(22), p. 2589, reviewed and reinvestigated the reactions of saccharins with alkyl and aryl Grignard reagents and found that either the 3-alkyl (or 3-aryl) -benz[d]-isothiazole-1,1-dioxide and/or the open-chain tertiary alcohol, o-CH.sub.2 OH benzenesulfonamide wherein R is alkyl (or aryl) were obtained with one exception. When saccharin was treated with an excess of phenylmagensium bromide in boiling tetrahydrofuran, 3,3-diphenyl-2,3-dihydrobenz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxide was obtained as the minor product together with the open-chain tertiary alcohol.
R. A. Abramovitch et al also investigated the reaction of saccharin and saccharin pseudo-chloride with organolithium compounds and found that the reaction of saccharin with alkyl- and aryllithium compounds, such as, n-butyllithium and p-methoxyphenyllithium in tetrahydrofuran at -78.degree. C. gave the corresponding 3-substituted-benz[d]-isothiazole-1,1-dioxide, exclusively. In addition to this general method for synthesizing 3-alkyl (or 3-aryl)-benz[d]-isothiazole-1,1-dioxides, the authors reported that the reaction of the pseudo-chloride with organolithium compounds, such as, n-butyllithium in tetrahydrofuran at -78.degree. C. gave the corresponding 3,3-disubstituted-2,3-dihydrobenz[d]-isothiazole-1,1-dioxide as the major product.
Besides the reactions with Grignard and organolithium reagents, Friedel-Crafts reactions with the saccharins also have been disclosed. Dutt, J. Chem. Soc., 121, p. 2389 (1922) reported that condensation of saccharin with aromatic amines and phenols in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid and also in the presence of fused zinc chloride. The resulting condensation products with saccharin were named "sulfamphthaleins" by analogy to "phthaleins" and "sulfonephthaleins". Though the structure of 3,3-di(4'-hydroxyphenyl)-2,3-dihydrobenz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxide (named "phenolsulfamphthalein") was assigned to the condensation product obtained with saccharin and phenol, it has been determined that the compound corresponding to the proposed structure has properties different from those reported, for example, colorless rather than pink in alkali and also, that the compound corresponding to the structure given could not be synthesized by repeating the procedures reported by Dutt.
Copending U. S. patent application Ser. No. 836,010 of Stanley M. Bloom, Alan L. Borror and James W. Foley filed Sept. 23, 1977 is directed to a method of synthesizing phenol and 1-naphthol sulfamphthaleins and sulfamnaphthaleins possessing a carbonyl group in the 2-position of the sulfam(na)phthalein ring. As disclosed and claimed therein, the method of preparing these compounds comprises reacting a 3-(4'-OP-1'-phenyl/4'-OP-1'-naphthyl)-3-(phenyl/naphthyl)-2,3-dihydrobenz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxide (or 2,3-dihydronaphtho[1,8-de]-1,2-thiazine-1,1-dioxide) wherein P is a protecting group with a carboxylic acid halide to yield the corresponding 2-carbonyl derivative followed by removing the protecting group with weak acid to yield the product.
The 3-(4'-OP-1'-phenyl/4'-OP-1'-naphthyl)-3-(phenyl/naphthyl)-2,3-dihydrobenz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxides employed as starting materials in the above method may be synthesized by reacting a 3-(4'-OP-1'-phenyl/4'-OP-1'-naphthyl)benz[d]-isothiazole-1,1-dioxide and a phenyllithium or a naphthyllithium reagent as disclosed and claimed in copending U. S. patent application Ser. No. 836,008 of Alan L. Borror, Louis Cincotta, James W. Foley and Marcis M. Kampe filed Sept. 23, 1977. As discussed therein, the 3-(4'-OP-1'-phenyl/4'-OP-1'-naphthyl)benz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxides are prepared by blocking the functional hydroxy group and any substituent group(s), as may be appropriate, of the selected 4-halophenol or 4-halo-1-naphthol and converting the blocked phenol or 1-naphthol to the corresponding Grignard or lithium reagent which is then reacted with a saccharin reagent. The phenyl- or naphthyllithium reagent reacted with the 3-(4'-OP-1'-phenyl/4'-OP-1'-naphthyl)benz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxide may be substituted or unsubstituted and may be prepared from the corresponding halo-substituted compound by reacting with lithium metal or n-butyllithium to yield the lithium reagent. If substituents, such as, hydroxy, are present, they are blocked with the appropriate protecting group to render them compatible with organometallic reagents prior to conversion to the lithium compound. The protecting groups selected should be removable under mildly acidic conditions so that the blocked substituents can be regenerated simultaneously with the regeneration of the functional --OH group of the 4'-OP-1'-phenyl or 4'-OP-1'-naphthyl moiety. Starting materials for use in the method of aforementioned application Ser. No. 836,010 also may be prepared according to the method of copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 836,025 of Alan L. Borror, James W. Foley, Marcis M. Kampe and John W. Lee, Jr. filed Sept. 23, 1977, which comprises reacting a 3-(phenyl/naphthyl)-benz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxide and a 4'-OP-phenyl/ 4'-OP-naphthyllithium compound to give the corresponding 3-(phenyl/naphthyl)-3-(4'-OP-1'-phenyl/4'-OP-1'-naphthyl)-2,3-dihydrobenz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxide wherein P represents a protecting group compatible with organometallic reagents which is capable of being removed in weak acid to regenerate the free --OH.
The present invention is concerned with a method of reacting a certain class of unprotected phenols and 1-naphthols with a 3-substituted-benz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxide or a 3-substituted-naphtho[1,8-de]-1,2-thiazine-1,1-dioxide and to the corresponding 3,3-disubstituted-2,3-dihydrobenz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxide (or 2,3-dihydronaphtho[1,8-de]-1,2-thiazine-1,1-dioxide)produced.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is, therefore, one object of the present invention to provide a certain class of 3,3-disubstituted-2,3-dihydrobenz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxides (and 2,3-dihydronaphtho[1,8-de]-1,2-thiazine-1,1-dioxides).
It is another object of the present invention to provide a novel method of preparing said 3,3-disubstituted compounds.
Other objects of this invention will in part be obvious and will in part appear hereinafter.
This invention accordingly comprises the process involving the several steps and the relation and order of one or more of such steps with respect to each of the others and the product possessing the features, properties and the relation of elements which are exemplified in the following detailed disclosure and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the claims.
According to the present invention, it has been found that certain phenols and 1-naphthols, namely, phenols and 1-naphthols substituted in the 2-position with a perhalomethylcarbinol group can be reacted with a 3-substituted-benz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxide to give the 3,3-disubstituted isothiazole without using a protecting group, e.g., methoxymethyl for blocking the phenolic (or naphtholic) and carbinol --OH groups. This is accomplished by reacting these phenols and 1-naphthols as the "lithiated" derivatives as will be described below. That the "lithiated" perhalomethylcarbinol-substituted phenols and 1-naphthols can be reacted in this manner to give the 3,3-disubstituted isothiazole is quite unexpected, since attempts to react the "lithiated" derivatives of phenols, such as, 4-OLi-3,5-dimethylphenyllithium and 4-OLi-3,5-dimethoxyphenyllithium with a 3-substituted-benz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxide to give the 3,3-disubstituted 2,3-dihydrobenz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxide were unsuccessful.
For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the present invention, reference should be had to the following detailed description.

Specific examples of compounds that may be prepared according to the method of the present invention are as follows: ##STR15##
When 3-(4'-OP-1'-phenyl/4'-OP-1'-naphthyl)-benz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxides are employed as starting materials in the subject method, they are prepared by blocking the functional hydroxy group and any substituent group(s), as may be appropriate, of the selected 4-halophenol or 4-halo-1-naphthol and converting the blocked phenol or 1-naphthol to the corresponding Grignard or lithium reagent which is then reacted with a saccharin reagent. The 4-halo substituent may be chloro, bromo or iodo when the lithium reagent is prepared by reacting the blocked phenol or blocked 1-naphthol with lithium metal and is either bromo or iodo when the lithium reagent is made via a lithium exchange reaction using, for example, n-butyllithium. In preparing the Grignard reagent by reacting the blocked phenol or 1- naphthol with magnesium metal, the 4-halo substituent may be chloro, bromo or iodo. The Grignard or lithium reagent thus prepared is then reacted with saccharin, the N-lithium salt of saccharin or saccharin pseudo-chloride to yield the corresponding 3-(4'-OP-1'-phenyl/4'-OP- 1'-naphthyl)benz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxide. Generally, the Grignard reagent is reacted with the pseudo-chloride, and the lithium reagent is reacted with the N-lithium salt. The 3-(4'-OP-1'-phenyl/4'-OP-1'-naphthyl)naphtho[1,8-de]-1,2-thiazine-1,1-dioxides may be prepared in a similar manner by reacting the Grignard or lithium reagent with 2,3-dihydro-3-oxo-naphtho[1,8-de]-1,2-thiazine-1,1-dioxide, its pseudo-chloride or the N-lithium derivative thereof.
The groups selected for protecting the functional phenolic or naphtholic hydroxy group and other hydroxy groups that may be present in the phenol or 1-naphthol should be stable to and compatible with organolithium and Grignard reagents and should protect the hydroxy group(s) against reaction under the conditions encountered in preparing the starting materials for the subject method and in the subsequent synthesis of the aforementioned N-acylated sulfam(na)phthalein products. In addition, the protecting group selected should be capable of being easily removed under weakly acid conditions to regenerate the hydroxy group(s) without the removal of or adversely affecting the N-substituent or other substituents that may be present. Alkyl groups, such as methyl and ethyl, may be employed in those instances where they can be removed without removal of the N-substituent. Because they can be readily removed without disturbing the N-substituent or other substituents, the phenol or 1-naphthol preferably is protected with methoxymethyl, 2'-tetrahydropyranyl or dimethyl-t-butylsilyl. The blocked phenols and 1-naphthols employing these protecting groups may be prepared by methoxymethylation as described, for example, by Kaoru Fuji et al, Synthesis, 4, pp. 276-277 (1975 ), by tetrahydropyranylation as described, for example, by William E. Parham et al, J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 70, pp. 4187-4189 (1948) or by silylating with dimethyl-t-butylsilyl chloride in the presence of imidazole as described by E. J. Corey et al, J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 94, pp. 6190-6191 (1972).
When the starting materials are 3-(phenyl/naphthyl)benz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxides, i.e., other than 3-(phenyl/naphthyl) compounds containing a 4'-OP substituent, they may be prepared in a similar manner by blocking hydroxy and/or other substituent group(s), as may be appropriate, of the selected halo-benzene or halo-naphthalene compound and converting the halo compound to the corresponding Grignard or lithium reagent which is then reacted with the saccharin reagent to give the corresponding 3-substituted-benz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxide.
The "lithiated" derivative of the perhalomethylcarbinol-substituted phenol or 1-naphthol is prepared by reacting the selected 4-halophenol or 4-halo-1-naphthol with at least three molar equivalents of lithium metal or preferably n-butyllithium as illustrated below ##STR16## The perhalomethylcarbinol-substituted phenols and 1-naphthols may be prepared according to the procedures set forth by Basil S. Farah et al, J. Org. Chem., Vol. 30, p. 1003 (1965) and are halogenated in any conventional manner to give the 4-halo derivatives, for example, by reacting the perhalomethylcarbinol-substituted compound with chlorine or bromine, with or without a catalyst; N-bromosuccinimide or iodinemonochloride.
Certain 3-(4'-OP-1'-phenyl/4'-OP-1'-naphthyl)benz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxides form the subject matter of copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 836,024 of Alan L. Borror, L. Cincotta, E. W. Ellis, J. W. Foley and M. M. Kampe filed Sept. 23, 1977. 3-(Phenyl/naphthyl)benz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxides substituted with certain N-heterocyclic moieties form the subject matter of copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 836,022 of Alan L. Borror, J. W. Foley and J. W. Lee, Jr. filed Sept. 23, 1977, and 3-(9'-julolidinyl)benz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxide forms the subject matter of copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 836,023 also filed Sept. 23, 1977.
In carrying out the subject method, the selected 3-substituted-benz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxide is reacted with at least one molar equivalent of the "lithiated" phenol or 1-naphthol in an inert organic solvent, such as, benzene, diethyl ether, dioxane, hexane, toluene, petroleum ether or tetrahydrofuran. The reactants may be employed in equivalent, i.e., equimolar amounts but ordinarily an excess of about 0.1 to 1.0 mole of the "lithiated" phenol or 1-naphthol is employed per 1.0 mole of the 3-substituted-benz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxide. The reaction temperature may vary over a relatively wide range from about -80.degree. to 50.degree. C. as may be readily determined for the particular reactants. For achieving maximum yields, the reaction generally is conducted at a temperature below about 0.degree. C. and preferably between about -65.degree. C. and -25.degree. C. As a matter of convenience, the 4-halo perhalomethylcarbinol-substituted phenol or 1-naphthol is reacted with the requisite amount of n-butyllithium at reduced temperatures of about -50.degree. to -70.degree. C. in an inert organic solvent such as those enumerated above to give the corresponding "lithiated" derivative and then the 3-substituted-benz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxide is added without isolating the "lithiated" derivative.

The following examples are given to further illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope thereof.
EXAMPLE 1
Preparation of the compound having the formula ##STR17##
(a) 4-Bromo-2-(.alpha.-hydroxy-.alpha.-trifluoromethyl-.beta.,.beta.,.beta.-trifluoroethyl)-1-naphthol (1.0 g) was dissolved in 25 ml tetrahydrofuran at room temperature under nitrogen, then cooled to -65.degree. C. To this solution was added dropwise 3.21 ml of butyllithium (2.4 M in hexane). The resulting solution was stirred for one hour at -65.degree. C. and then 3-(4'-N,N-diethylamino-1'-phenyl)benz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxide (0.51 g) was added, the solution warmed to -20.degree. C., then cooled back to -65.degree. C. and stirred for one hour. TLC on silica gel with ether showed that the reaction was complete. The reaction solution was poured into 200 ml. of water, the pH adjusted to 6 with conc. HCl and the resulting solution extracted with ether. The ether layer was separated and washed with 200 ml. of 1 N sodium hydroxide. The aqueous sodium hydroxide layer was separated, washed well with ether, then neutralized with conc. HCl and extracted with ether. The ether extract was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated to give 3-[(3'-.alpha.-hydroxy-.alpha.-trifluoromethyl-.beta.,.beta.,.beta.-trifluoroethyl)-4'-hydroxy-1'-naphthyl]-3-[4'-N,N-diethylamino-1'-phenyl]-2,3-dihydrobenz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxide as a green solid (0.82 g; 50% yield).
(b) The compound prepared in step (a) above (0.7 g) was dissolved in 25 ml pyridine at room temperature. To this was added 0.21 g of ClCOOCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 SO.sub.2 CH.sub.3 and the reaction mixture stirred for several hours. TLC on silica gel with ether indicated no apparent reaction. Thus, additional acid halide (0.42 g) was added and the mixture stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was poured into water, extracted with ether and the ether extract evaporated. The title compound was obtained as a blue compound from the ether residue by preparative TLC on silica gel.
The 3-(4'-N,N-diethylamino-1'-phenyl)benz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxide was prepared as follows:
4-Bromo-N,N-diethylaniline (22.8 g) was dissolved in 100 ml. of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran under nitrogen and then cooled to -74.degree. C. To this solution was added dropwise 41.8 ml of n-butyllithium (2.4 M in hexane) over a 50-minute period. (The temperature was maintained at -70.degree. C. during the addition.)

The method of reacting the subject compounds with ##STR28## wherein W is chloro or bromo and Y is hydrogen or an electron-withdrawing group to give the corresponding ##STR29## products from the subject matter of copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 957,162 of Louis Cincotta and James W. Foley filed concurrently herewith. The method reacting the subject compounds with ##STR30## wherein W is chloro or bromo and R is alkyl or phenyl to give the corresponding ##STR31## compounds followed by selective removal of the ##STR32## groups from the --OH groups with alkali forms the subject matter of copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 956,907 of Louis Cincotta and James W. Foley filed concurrently herewith.
As discussed in applications Ser. Nos. 957,162 and 956,907, the compounds wherein the substituent on the N atom of the ring-closing moiety is ##STR33## are useful as pH-sensitive indicator dyes and have reversibly alterable spectral absorption characteristics in response to changes in environmental pH. Besides their use in titrations and other analytical procedures where pH-sensitive indicator dyes are commonly employed, the compounds having a colorless form below a given pH may be used for providing colored optical filter agents in photographic products and processes where the pH is reduced subsequent to processing as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,647,437 issued Mar. 7, 1972 to Edwin H. Land. This patent is concerned with diffusion transfer processes wherein the resulting photograph comprises the developed photosensitive layer(s) retained with the image-receiving layer as part of a permanent laminate. In the processes disclosed, a photographic film unit comprising a photosensitive element is developed in ambient light but further undesired exposure during processing is prevented by a light-absorbing material or optical filter agent which is retained in the processed film unit. In a preferred embodiment, the optical filter agent is a pH-sensitive dye, i.e., a dye possessing spectral absorption characteristics that are reversibly alterable in response to changes in environmental pH and particularly, a pH-sensitive dye having a colored or light-absorbing form above a given alkaline pH and a colorless or non-light-absorbing form below said pH. Though the pH-sensitive dye is usually included in the processing composition, it may be initially positioned in the film unit, for example, in a layer over the photosensitive element provided it is in its colorless form if photoexposure is to be effected through that layer. Upon application of an alkaline processing composition, the pH-sensitive dye is converted to its colored form, and after the desired processing time, it is converted back to its colorless form by reducing the environmental pH, e.g., by including an acid-reacting layer as part of the film unit.
Where the N-substituent is ##STR34## and Y is an electron-withdrawing group, the compounds have a colored form in aqueous alkaline solution above a given alkaline pH and are discharged, i.e., decolorized independently of pH reduction by irreversible cleavage of the N-substituent after remaining in contact with said alkaline solution for a predetermined time. For example, the colored form generated from these compounds possessing a ##STR35## substituent on the N atom of the benz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxide moiety usually have a half-life (T 1/2) in approximately 1 N NaOH of about 30 seconds or less. By T 1/2 is meant the time measured for one-half of the colored form to decolorize. When these compounds are initially colorless, they may be employed as colorless precursors for providing colored photographic optical filter agents for protecting an imagewise exposed photosensitive material from further exposure during processing in light as described in copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 836,006 of Stanley M. Bloom, Alan L. Borror and James W. Foley filed Sept. 23, 1977. In the processes disclosed, the colorless filter agent precursor is initially disposed in a layer of the film unit, for example, in a layer coated over the photosensitive element, and subsequent to imagewise exposure of the photosensitive element, the colored optical filter agent is generated by contacting the colorless precursor with base, e.g., an aqueous alkaline processing composition. After remaining in contact with said base for a given time, the colored optical filter agent is discharged by forming a new compound which is substantially colorless and which is different from and non-reversible by a pH change to either said optical filter agent or said precursor. When these compounds are initially colored, they may be employed as light-screening dyes in photographic products and processes, i.e., as antihalation dyes positioned, for example, between a photosensitive silver halide layer and the film base or support or as filter dyes, for example, in multi-layer, multicolor photographic materials to adjust the sensitometry for achieving the desired color balance. The use of these compounds as light-screening dyes in photographic products and processes is disclosed and claimed in copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 957,161 of James W. Foley filed concurrently herewith. As described therein, a photographic film unit comprising a photosensitive material and a layer comprising these compound(s) as antihalation or filter dye(s) is exposed imagewise and then processed by applying an aqueous alkaline processing composition. After remaining in contact with said alkaline composition for a given time, the colored antihalation or filter dye is discharged by forming a new compound which is substantially colorless and which is different from and non-reversible by pH change to said dye.
3,3-Disubstituted-sulfamphthaleins and sulfamnaphthaleins wherein one of the 3-substituents is (a) a 4'-hydroxy-1'-naphthyl moiety substituted in the 3'-position with, e.g., a mono or bis perhalomethylcarbinol group; the other 3-substituent is, for example, a substituted phenyl moiety having certain electron-donating properties; and the N atom of the sulfam(na)phthalein ring is substituted with ##STR36## as defined above form the subject matter of copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 957,163 of James W. Foley filed concurrently herewith.
For convenience, the specifications of aforementioned applications Ser. Nos. 836,006; 957,161; and 957,163 are specifically incoporated herein.
