Description
This invention relates to novel N,N'-bis-[(.beta.-hydroxy-.beta.-phenyl)-ethyl]-polymethylenediamines and acid addition salts thereof, as well as to methods of preparing these compounds.
More particularly, the present invention relates to a novel class of N,N'-bis-[(.beta.-hydroxy-.beta.-phenyl)-ethyl]-polyethylenediamines of the formula ##STR6## wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen or methyl,
m is 0 or an integer from 1 to 8, inclusive, and
Ar is ##STR7## where R is hydrogen or acyl, and
R.sub.2 is hydrogen or -OR, as defined above, ##STR8## where R has the meanings defined in formula II, and
R.sub.3 is hydroxy-lower alkyl, --NH--CO-- R.sub.4, --NH--SO.sub.2 --R.sub.5, --CH.sub.2 --NH--CO--R.sub.4, --CH.sub.2 --NH--SO.sub.2 --R.sub.5 or --CH.sub.2 --NH--CO-- NH--R.sub.4,
where
R.sub.4 is hydrogen or lower alkyl, and
R.sub.5 is lower alkyl or di-lower alkyl-amino, ##STR9## where R.sub.6 is hydrogen, amino or hydroxyl,
X is chlorine or bromine, and
Y is hydrogen, chlorine or bromine,
or ##STR10## where R has the meanings defined in formula II, and
A is a saturated or unsaturated 5-to 6-membered ring,
and their non-toxic, pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salts.
The compounds embraced by formula I may be prepared by the following conventional methods:
Method A
By reducing an aminoketone of the formula ##STR11## wherein Ar and R.sub.1 have the same meanings as in formula I, in accordance with conventional procedures.
For example, the reduction may be effected with the aid of a complex hydride, such as lithium aluminum hydride or sodium borohydride; or also with hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst, such as platinum, palladium or Raney nickel; or also by the Meerwein-Porndorf Reduction.
The starting compounds of the formula VI needed for this method may be obtained by reacting a compound of the formula ##STR12## wherein Ar' has the same meanings as Ar in formula I and, in addition, to the extent that Ar contains phenolic hydroxyl groups, these are free or protected by protective substituents which are removable by hydrolysis, alcoholysis or hydrogenation, with a polymethylenediamine of the formula ##STR13## wherein R.sub.1 and m have the same meanings as in formula I and R' is hydrogen or a substituent which is removable by hydrogenation, preferably unsubstituted or substituted benzyl, in the presence of a condensation agent, such as sodium carbonate, or an excess of the diamine of the formula VIII.
In those instances where the end product of the formula I is to contain acyl substituents, such as lower alkanoyl, these acyl substituents may already be present in the starting compound of the formula VII and may, of course, also function as protective substituents during the reaction with the diamine of the formula VIII.
For the preparation of a compound of the formula VI, the protective substituents in the reaction product of the condensation reaction between compound VII and compound VIII are, if necessary, removed therefrom by hydrolysis or hydrogenation pursuant to conventional methods.
Method B
By removing those substituents which are removable by hydrolysis, alcoholysis or hydrogenation from a compound of the formula ##STR14## wherein Ar' and R' have the meanings defined in formulas VII and VIII, respectively, by hydrolysis, alcoholysis or hydrogenation pursuant to conventional methods, depending upon what type of substituent is to be removed.
The starting compounds of the formula IX needed for this method may be prepared either by reducing an aminoketone of the formula ##STR15## wherein R.sub.1 and m have the same meanings as in formula I and and Ar' and R' have the same meanings as in formula IX, in a manner analogous to that described in method A above, or by reacting an epoxide of the formula ##STR16## wherein Ar' has the meanings previously defined, with a polymethylenediamine of the formula VIII.
Of course, methods A and B described above may also be combined; that is, the reduction according to method A and the protective substituent removal according to method B may be carried out successively in a single reaction vessel by selectively choosing the proper reaction conditions for each step.
The compounds embraced by formula I are organic bases and occur in the form of racemic mixtures, optically inactive meso-isomers and optically active antipodes, and each of these isomeric forms combines with inorganic or organic acids to form acid addition salts. Examples of nontoxic, pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salts are those formed with hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, maleic acid, methanesulfonic acid, 8-chlorotheophylline or the like.
The following examples further illustrate the present invention and will enable others skilled in the art to understand it more completely. It should be understood, however, that the invention is not limited solely to the particular examples given below.

Thereafter, the catalyst was filtered off, and the methanol was distilled out of the filtrate. The residue, N,N'-bis-[.beta.-hydroxy-.beta.(3',5'-dihyroxyphenyl)-ethyl]-2,5-dimethyl- 2,5-diamino-hexane, was dissolved in a sufficient amount of ethanol, the resulting solution was acidified with ethereal hydrochloric acid, acetonitrile was added thereto, and the precipitate formed thereby was collected and recrystallized from 1 N hydrochloric acid, yielding the compound of the formula ##STR17## having a melting point of 275.degree.-279.degree.
