Description
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of carboxylic acids and intermediates therefor as well as the intermediates themselves and more particularly to novel enamine and amidine compounds and process for the preparation of the novel compounds as well as novel process for the preparation of known carboxylic acid derivatives through said novel compounds.
The final product of carboxylic acids are shown by the formula ##STR3## wherein R.sub.1 represents hydrogen atom or lower alkyl radical, R.sub.2 represents hydrogen atom, lower alkyl or allyl radical and R.sub.3 represents phenyl, lower alkyl substituted phenyl, lower alkoxy substituted phenyl, cyclohexenyl substituted phenyl, benzoyl substituted phenyl, alkoxy substituted naphthyl, dibenzofuranyl, or halogen substituted biphenyl radical.
It has been well known that aromatic radical substituted carboxylic acids inclusive of the compounds (I) have antiphlogistic, analgesic, antifebrile actions and an action for preventing coagulation of blood (thrombus) and thus are usable as pharmaceutical agents (Jap. Pat. Publn. Nos. 7 491/1965, 22 297/1968, 18 105/1972 and others).
Hitherto, however, such aromatic radical substituted carboxylic acids have generally been prepared through 5 to 7 steps. This means it is not so preferable for the preparation thereof in industrial scale.
Therefore, a principal object of the present invention is to provide a novel process for the preparation of such carboxylic acids, which are reduced in number of process steps.
Another object of the present invention is to provide novel intermediates for preparing the carboxylic acids.
A still other object of the present invention is to provide a process for the preparation of such novel intermediates.
According to the present invention, the compounds (I) are prepared by subjecting a ketone represented by a formula
wherein R.sub.3 represents the meanings as referred to and R.sub.5 represents a lower alkyl or vinyl ethyl radical, to react with a secondary amine represented by a formula
wherein R.sub.4 represents dimethylamino, pyrrolidyl, piperidyl or morpholyl radical, in an inert solvent and in the presence of a dehydrating agent, subjecting the resulting enamine compound represented by a formula ##STR4## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 represents the meanings as referred to, to react with Diphenyl Phosphorazidate (hereinafter referred merely to DPPA), and then hydrolyzing the resulting amidine compounds represented by a formula ##STR5## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 represent the meanings as referred to.
Almost all ketones as the raw material are commercially sold and easily available from markets but if necessary can be synthesized by utilizing Friedel-Crafts reaction [C. Friedel and J. M. Crafts "Compt. Rond" Vol. 84, pages 1392 and 1450 (1877)] or the like, as shown in the following formulae. ##STR6## wherein R.sub.3 and R.sub.5 represent the meaning as referred to.
For synthesizing the enamine compounds (IV), benzene or toluene can be employed as the solvent and the amidine compounds (V) may be synthesized without isolating the corresponding enamine compounds. When it is desired that the enamine compounds would be isolated from the reaction mixture, ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofran, cyclohexane, N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylsulfoxide or the like solvent may be employed in the synthesis of the amidine compounds, in addition to said solvents of benzene and toluene. It is preferable to use ethylene glycol as the solvent, when the amidine compounds are hydrolyzed.
The present invention will now be further explained with reference to Examples.
