2. Background Art
Compounds which have retinoid-like activity are well known in the art, and are described in numerous United States and other patents and in scientific publications. It is generally known and accepted in the art that retinoid-like activity is useful for treating animals of the mammalian species, including humans, for curing or alleviating the symptoms and conditions of numerous diseases and conditions. In other words, it is generally accepted in the art that pharmaceutical compositions having a retinoid-like compound or compounds as the active ingredient are useful as regulators of cell proliferation and
differentiation, and particularly as agents for
treating skin-related diseases, including, actinic keratoses, arsenic keratoses, inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne, psoriasis, ichthyoses and other keratinization and hyperproliferative disorders of the skin, eczema, atopic dermatitis, Darriers disease, lichen planus, prevention and reversal of
glucocorticoid damage (steroid atrophy), as a topical anti-microbial, as skin anti-pigmentation agents and to treat and reverse the effects of age and photo damage to the skin. Retinoid compounds are also useful for the prevention and treatment of cancerous and
precancerous conditions, including, premalignant and malignant hyperproliferative diseases such as cancers of the breast, skin, prostate, cervix, uterus, colon, bladder, esophagus, stomach, lung, larynx, oral cavity, blood and lymphatic system, metaplasias, dysplasias, neoplasias, leukoplakias and papillomas of the mucous membranes and in the treatment of Kaposi's sarcoma. In addition, retinoid compounds can be used as agents to treat diseases of the eye, including, without
limitation, proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), retinal detachment, dry eye and other corneopathies, as well as in the treatment and prevention of various cardiovascular diseases, including, without limitation, diseases associated with lipid metabolism such as dyslipidemias, prevention of post-angioplasty
restenosis and as an agent to increase the level of circulating tissue plasminogen activator (TPA). Other uses for retinoid compounds include the prevention and treatment of conditions and diseases associated with human papilloma virus (HPV), including warts and genital warts, various inflammatory diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis, ileitis, colitis and Krohn's disease, neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and stroke, improper pituitary function, including insufficient production of growth hormone, modulation of apoptosis, including both the induction of apoptosis and inhibition of T- Cell activated apoptosis, restoration of hair growth, including combination therapies with the present compounds and other agents such as MinoxidilR, diseases associated with the immune system, including use of the present compounds as immunosuppressants and

dihydronaphthalene nucleus which is appropriately substituted to provide the compounds defined in
Formulas 1 through 7, or said tetrahydronaphthalene or dihydronaphthalene nucleus is appropriately substituted to provide such precursors of compounds of the Formulas 1 through 7 from which the target compounds can be readily obtained by organic reactions well known in the art. In Formula 9 X1 is halogen, B1 is H, or a
protected acid, alcohol, aldehyde, or ketone. In effect, B' is either the desired B group of Formulas 1 through 7, or B' is a precursor from which the B group can be readily obtained by reactions well known in the art.
Still further, the present invention relates to such reactions performed on the compounds of Formula 1 through 7 which cause transformations of the A-B group or of the substituents on the tetrahydro- or
dihydronaphthalene moiety, while the reaction product still remains within the scope of Formulas 1 through 7,
General Embodiments
Definitions
The term alkyl refers to and covers any and all groups which are known as normal alkyl, branched-chain alkyl and cycloalkyl. The term alkenyl refers to and covers normal alkenyl, branch chain alkenyl and
cycloalkenyl groups having one or more sites of
unsaturation. Similarly, the term alkynyl refers to and covers normal alkynyl, and branch chain alkynyl groups having one or more triple bonds.
Lower alkyl means the above-defined broad
definition of alkyl groups having 1 to 6 carbons in case of normal lower alkyl, and as applicable 3 to 6 carbons for lower branch chained and cycloalkyl groups. Lower alkenyl is defined similarly having 2 to 6 carbons for normal lower alkenyl groups, and 3 to 6 carbons for branch chained and cyclo- lower alkenyl groups. Lower alkynyl is also defined similarly, having 2 to 6 carbons for normal lower alkynyl groups, and 4 to 6 carbons for branch chained lower alkynyl groups.
The term "ester" as used here refers to and covers any compound falling within the definition of that term as classically used in organic chemistry. It includes organic and inorganic esters. Where B (of Formula 1 through 7) is -COOH, this term covers the products derived from treatment of this function with alcohols or thiols preferably with aliphatic alcohols having 1-6 carbons. Where the ester is derived from compounds where B is -CH2OH, this term covers compounds derived from organic acids capable of forming esters including phosphorous based and sulfur based acids, or compounds of the formula -CH2OCOR11 where R11 is any substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic, aromatic, heteroaromatic or aliphatic aromatic group, preferably with 1-6 carbons in the aliphatic portions.
Unless stated otherwise in this application, preferred esters are derived from the saturated
aliphatic alcohols or acids of ten or fewer carbon atoms or the cyclic or saturated aliphatic cyclic alcohols and acids of 5 to 10 carbon atoms.
Particularly preferred aliphatic esters are those derived from lower alkyl acids and alcohols. Also preferred are the phenyl or lower alkyl phenyl esters.
Amides has the meaning classically accorded that term in organic chemistry. In this instance it
includes the unsubstituted amides and all aliphatic and aromatic mono- and di- substituted amides. Unless stated otherwise in this application, preferred amides are the mono- and di-substituted amides derived from the saturated aliphatic radicals of ten or fewer carbon atoms or the cyclic or saturated aliphatic-cyclic radicals of 5 to 10 carbon atoms. Particularly
preferred amides are those derived from substituted and unsubstituted lower alkyl amines. Also preferred are mono- and disubstituted amides derived from the
substituted and unsubstituted phenyl or lower
alkylphenyl amines. Unsubstituted amides are also preferred.
Acetals and ketals include the radicals of the formula-CK where K is (-OR)2. Here, R is lower alkyl. Also, K may be -OR7O- where R7 is lower alkyl of 2-5 carbon atoms, straight chain or branched.
A pharmaceutically acceptable salt may be prepared for any compounds in this invention having a
functionality capable of forming a salt, for example an acid functionality. A pharmaceutically acceptable salt is any salt which retains the activity of the parent compound and does not impart any deleterious or
untoward effect on the subject to which it is
administered and in the context in which it is
administered.
Pharmaceutically acceptable salts may be derived from organic or inorganic bases. The salt may be a mono or polyvalent ion. Of particular interest are the inorganic ions, sodium, potassium, calcium, and
magnesium. Organic salts may be made with amines, particularly ammonium salts such as mono-, di- and trialkyl amines or ethanol amines. Salts may also be formed with caffeine, tromethamine and similar
molecules. Where there is a nitrogen sufficiently basic as to be capable of forming acid addition salts, such may be formed with any inorganic or organic acids or alkylating agent such as methyl iodide. Preferred salts are those formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid. Any of a number of simple organic acids such as mono-, di- or tri- acid may also be used.
Some of the compounds of the present invention may have trans and cis (E and Z) isomers. In addition, the compounds of the present invention may contain one or more chiral centers and therefore may exist in
enantiomeric and diastereomeric forms. Still further oxime and related compounds of the present invention may exist in syn and anti isomeric forms. The scope of the present invention is intended to cover all such isomers per se, as well as mixtures of cis and trans isomers, mixtures of syn and anti isomers, mixtures of diastereomers and racemic mixtures of enantiomers
(optical isomers) as well. In the present application when no specific mention is made of the configuration (cis, trans syn or anti or R or S) of a compound (or of an asymmetric carbon) then a mixture of such isomers, or either one of the isomers is intended. In a similar vein, when in the chemical structural formulas of this application a straight line representing a valence bond is drawn to an asymmetric carbon, then isomers of both R and S configuration, as well as their mixtures are intended. Defined stereochemistry about an asymmetric carbon is indicated in the formulas (where applicable) by a solid triangle showing β configuration, or by a hashed line showing a configuration.

Modes of Adm n strat on
The compounds of this invention may be
administered systemically or topically, depending on such considerations as the condition to be treated, need for site-specific treatment, quantity of drug to be administered, and numerous other considerations.
In the treatment of dermatoses, it will generally be preferred to administer the drug topically, though in certain cases such as treatment of severe cystic acne or psoriasis, oral administration may also be used. Any common topical formulation such as a
solution, suspension, gel, ointment, or salve and the like may be used. Preparation of such topical
formulations are well described in the art of
pharmaceutical formulations as exemplified, for
example. Remington's Pharmaceutical Science, Edition 17, Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pennsylvania. For topical application, these compounds could also be administered as a powder or spray, particularly in aerosol form. If the drug is to be administered systemically, it may be confected as a powder, pill, tablet or the like or as a syrup or elixir suitable for oral administration. For intravenous or
intraperitoneal administration, the compound will be prepared as a solution or suspension capable of being administered by injection. In certain cases, it may be useful to formulate these compounds by injection. In certain cases, it may be useful to formulate these compounds in suppository form or as extended release formulation for deposit under the skin or intramuscular injection.
Other medicaments can be added to such topical formulation for such secondary purposes as treating skin dryness; providing protection against light; other medications for treating dermatoses; medicaments for preventing infection, reducing irritation, inflammation and the like.
Treatment of dermatoses or any other indications known or discovered to be susceptible to treatment by retinoic acid-like compounds will be effected by administration of the therapeutically effective dose of one or more compounds of the instant invention. A therapeutic concentration will be that concentration which effects reduction of the particular condition, or retards it expansion. In certain instances, the compound potentially may be used in prophylactic manner to prevent onset of a particular condition.
A useful therapeutic or prophylactic concentration will vary from condition to condition and in certain instances may vary with the severity of the condition being treated and the patient's susceptibility to treatment. Accordingly, no single concentration will be uniformly useful, but will require modification depending on the particularities of the disease being treated. Such concentrations can be arrived at through routine experimentation. However, it is anticipated that in the treatment of, for example, acne, or similar dermatoses, that a formulation containing between 0.01 and 1.0 milligrams per milliliter of formulation will constitute a therapeutically effective concentration for total application. If administered systemically, an amount between 0.01 and 5 mg per kg per day of body weight would be expected to effect a therapeutic result in the treatment of many diseases for which these compounds are useful.
Assay of Retinoid-like Biological Activity
The retinoic acid-like activity of these compounds is confirmed through the classic measure of retinoic acid activity involving the effects of retinoic acid on ornithine decarboxylase. The original work on the correlation between retinoic acid and decrease in cell proliferation was done by Verma & Boutwell, Cancer Research, 1977, 37,2196-2201. That reference discloses that ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity increased precedent to polyamine biosynthesis. It has been established elsewhere that increases in polyamine synthesis can be correlated or associated with cellular proliferation. Thus, if ODC activity could be
inhibited, cell hyperproliferation could be modulated. Although all cases for ODC activity increases are unknown, it is known that 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) induces ODC activity. Retinoic acid inhibits this induction of ODC activity by TPA. An assay essentially following the procedure set out in Cancer Research: 1662-1670,1975 may be used to
demonstrate inhibition of TPA induction of ODC by compounds of this invention. Activity of exemplary compounds of the present invention in the above-described ODC assay is disclosed in Table 8 which provides the IC80 concentration for the respective exemplary compound. ("IC 80 is that concentration of the test compound which causes 80% inhibition in the
ODC assay. By analogy, "IC60, for example, is that concentration of the test compound which causes 60% inhibition in the ODC assay.)
SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS
The compounds of this invention can be made by the synthetic chemical pathways illustrated here. The synthetic chemist will readily appreciate that the conditions set out here are specific embodiments which can be generalized to any and all of the compounds represented by Formulas 1 through 7.
Referring now to Reaction Scheme 1 a synthetic route leading to the compounds of Formula 1 and of Formula 2 is illustrated. In accordance with this scheme, a 6- or 7-bromo substituted 3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one (numbering as shown for Compound G) of Formula 10 is the starting material. The
compounds of Formula 10 already carry the desired R1 , R2 and R3 substituents, as these are defined above in connection with Formula 1. The compounds of Formula 10 are reacted with (trimethylsilyl) acetylene to provide the 6- or 7-trimethylsilylethynyl- substituted 3,4-dihydro-naphthalen-1(2H)-one compounds of Formula 11. The reaction with (trimethylsilyl) acetylene is
typically conducted under heat (approximately 100° C) in the presence of cuprous iodide, a suitable catalyst, typically having the formula Pd(PPh3)2Cl2, an acid acceptor (such as triethylamine) under an inert gas (argon) atmosphere. Typical reaction time is
approximately 24 hours. The 6- or 7-(trimethylsilyl)ethynyl- substituted 3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one compounds of Formula 11 are then reacted with base (potassium hydroxide or
potassium carbonate) in an alcoholic solvent, such as methanol, to provide the 6- or 7-ethynyl substituted 3,4-dihydro-1-naphthalen-1(2H) ones of Formula 12.
Compounds of Formula 12 are then coupled with the aromatic or heteroaromatic reagent X1-Y(R2)-A-B'
(Formula 9) in the presence of cuprous iodide, a suitable catalyst, typically Pd(PPh3)2Cl2, an acid acceptor, such as triethylamine, under inert gas
(argon) atmosphere. Alternatively, a zinc salt (or other suitable metal salt) of the compounds of Formula 12 can be coupled with the reagents of Formula 9 in the presence of Pd(PPh3)4 or similar complex. Typically, the coupling reaction with the reagent X1-Y(R2)-A-B' (Formula 9) is conducted at room or moderately elevated temperature. Generally speaking, coupling between an ethynylaryl derivative or its zinc salt and a halogen substituted aryl or heteroaryl compound, such as the reagent of Formula 9, is described in United States Patent No. 5,264,456, the specification of which is expressly incorporated herein by reference. The
compounds of Formula 13 are compounds of the invention within the scope of Formula 2, or a derivative thereof protected in the B' group, from which the protecting group can be readily removed by reactions well known in the art. The compounds of Formula 13 can also be converted into ketals or thioketals, within the scope of Formula 2, by reactions generally well known in the art. The compounds of Formula 13 can also be converted into further compounds of the invention by such
reactions and transformations which are well known in the art. Such reactions are indicated in Reaction Scheme 1 by conversion into "homologs and derivatives". One such conversion employed for the synthesis of several exemplary compounds of this invention is saponification of an ester group (when B or B' is an ester) to provide the free carboxylic acid or its salt.
The halogen substitituted aryl or heteroaryl compounds of Formula 9 can, generally speaking, be obtained by reactions well known in the art. An example of such compound is ethyl 4-iodobenzoate which is obtainable, for example, by esterification of 4-iodobenzoic acid. Another example is ethyl 6-iodonicotinate which can be obtained by conducting a halogen exchange reaction on 6-chloronicotinic acid, followed by esterification. Even more generally speaking, regarding derivatization of compounds of Formula 13 and/or the synthesis of aryl and heteroaryl compounds of Formula 9 which can thereafter be reacted with compounds of Formula 12 to yield compounds of the invention, the following well known and published general principles and synthetic methodology can be employed.
Carboxylic acids are typically esterified by refluxing the acid in a solution of the appropriate alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst such as hydrogen chloride or thionyl chloride. Alternatively, the carboxylic acid can be condensed with the
appropriate alcohol in the presence of
dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and dimethylaminopyridine.
The ester is recovered and purified by conventional means. Acetals and ketals are readily made by the method described in March, "Advanced Organic
Chemistry," 2nd Edition, McGraw-Hill Book Company, p 810). Alcohols, aldehydes and ketones all may be protected by forming respectively, ethers and esters, acetals or ketals by known methods such as those described in McOmie, Plenum Publishing Press, 1973 and Protecting Groups, Ed. Greene, John Wiley & Sons, 1981.
To increase the value of n in the compounds of Formula 9 before affecting the coupling reaction of Reaction Scheme 1 (where such compounds corresponding to Formula 9 are not available from a commercial source) aromatic or heteroaromatic carboxylic acids are subjected to homologation by successive treatment under Arndt-Eistert conditions or other homologation
procedures. Alternatively, derivatives which are not carboxylic acids may also be homologated by appropriate procedures. The homologated acids can then be
esterified by the general procedure outlined in the preceding paragraph.
Compounds of Formula 9, (or of the invention as set forth in Formulas 1 through 7, as applicable) where A is an alkenyl group having one or more double bonds can be made for example, by synthetic schemes well known to the practicing organic chemist; for example by Wittig and like reactions, or by introduction of a double bond by elimination of halogen from an alpha-halo-arylalkyl-carboxylic acid, ester or like carboxaldehyde. Compounds of Formula 9 (or of the invention as set forth in Formulas 1 through 7, as applicable) where the A group has a triple (acetylenic) bond can be made by reaction of a corresponding aromatic methyl ketone with strong base, such as lithium diisopropyl amide, reaction with diethyl chlorophosphate and subsequent addition of lithium diisopropylamide.
The acids and salts derived from compounds of Formula 13 (or other compounds of the invention as set forth in Formulas 1 through 7, as applicable) are readily obtainable from the corresponding esters.
Basic saponification with an alkali metal base will provide the acid. For example, an ester of Formula 13 (or other compounds of the invention as set forth in Formulas 1 through 7, as applicable) may be dissolved in a polar solvent such as an alkanol, preferably under an inert atmosphere at room temperature, with about a three molar excess of base, for example, lithium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. The solution is stirred for an extended period of time, between 15 and 20 hours, cooled, acidified and the hydrolysate
recovered by conventional means. The amide may be formed by any appropriate
amidation means known in the art from the corresponding esters or carboxylic acids. One way to prepare such compounds is to convert an acid to an acid chloride and then treat that compound with ammonium hydroxide or an appropriate amine. For example, the ester is treated with an alcoholic base solution such as ethanolic KOH (in approximately a 10% molar excess) at room
temperature for about 30 minutes. The solvent is removed and the residue taken up in an organic solvent such as diethyl ether, treated with a dialkyl formamide and then a 10-fold excess of oxalyl chloride. This is all effected at a moderately reduced temperature between about -10 degrees and +10 degrees C. The last mentioned solution is then stirred at the reduced temperature for 1-4 hours, preferably 2 hours. Solvent removal provides a residue which is taken up in an inert organic solvent such as benzene, cooled to about 0 degrees C and treated with concentrated ammonium hydroxide. The resulting mixture is stirred at a reduced temperature for 1 - 4 hours. The product is recovered by conventional means.
Alcohols are made by converting the corresponding acids to the acid chloride with thionyl chloride or other means (J. March, "Advanced Organic Chemistry", 2nd Edition, McGraw-Hill Book Company), then reducing the acid chloride with sodium borohydride (March, Ibid, pg. 1124), which gives the corresponding alcohols.
Alternatively, esters may be reduced with lithium aluminum hydride at reduced temperatures. Alkylating these alcohols with appropriate alkyl halides under Williamson reaction conditions (March, Ibid, pg. 357) gives the corresponding ethers. These alcohols can be converted to esters by reacting them with appropriate acids in the presence of acid catalysts or dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and dimethylaminopyridine.
Aldehydes can be prepared from the corresponding primary alcohols using mild oxidizing agents such as pyridinium dichromate in methylene chloride (Corey, E. J., Schmidt, G., Tet. Lett.. 399, 1979). or dimethyl sulfoxide/oxalyl chloride in methylene chloride (Omura, K., Swern, D., Tetrahedron. 1978. 34, 1651).
Ketones can be prepared from an appropriate aldehyde by treating the aldehyde with an alkyl
Grignard reagent or similar reagent followed by
oxidation.
Acetals or ketals can be prepared from the
corresponding aldehyde or ketone by the method
described in March, Ibid, p 810.
Compounds of Formula 9 (or of the invention as set forth in Formulas 1 through 7, as applicable) where B is H can be prepared from the corresponding
halogenated aromatic or heteroaromatic compounds, preferably where the halogen is I.
Referring still to Reaction Scheme 1, the 7,8-dihydro-naphthalen-5(6H)-one derivatives of Formula 13 (numbering as exemplified above for Compound 1) are reduced with a mild reducing agent such as sodium borohydride, to yield the corresponding 5-hydroxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalene derivatives of Formula 14. The 5-hydroxy function of the compounds of Formula 14 is then acylated with a suitable acylating agent (such as a carboxylic acid chloride or anhydride), or converted into an ether with a suitable reagent (such as an alkyl bromide under basic conditions, or
dihydropyran under acidic conditions) or converted into a trialkylsilyl ether (with trialkylsilyl chloride or other "silylating" agent) to provide compounds of
Formula 15. The compounds of Formula 15 are compounds of the invention (or protected derivatives thereof) within the scope of Formula 1. The compounds of
Formula 15 can be "deprotected" or otherwise converted into further compounds of the invention by reactions well known in the art, as described above.
Describing still the reactions outlined in
Reaction Scheme 1, the compounds of Formula 13 can also be reacted with a Reformatsky reagent derived from an a halocarboxylic acid ester (such as ethyl bromoacetate), or with a Grignard reagent, optionally followed by acylation or ether formation on the resulting tertiary hydroxyl group on the 5-position of the tetrahydronaphthalene nucleus, to yield compounds of Formula 16.
Alternatively, the compounds of Formula 13 are reacted with cyanotrimethylsilane in the presence of boron trifluoroetherate to yield compounds in accordance with Formula 16. The compounds of Formula 16 are compounds of the invention within the scope of Formula 1, (or protected derivatives thereof) and can be converted into further homologs and derivatives within the scope of the invention.
Reaction Scheme 2 illustrates another synthetic route to the compounds of the invention in accordance with Formula 1. 6- or 7-Bromo substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro naphthalene derivatives of Formula 17
(numbering as exemplified for Compound F) are reacted with trimethylsilylacetylene as described above in connection with Reaction Scheme 1 (cuprous iodide, Pd(PPh3)2Cl2, catalyst and triethylamine under inert atmosphere) and thereafter with base (potassium
hydroxide or potassium carbonate in an alcoholic solvent, such as methanol) to provide the 6- or 7-ethynyl 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene derivatives of Formula 18. Compounds of Formula 18 are coupled with the aromatic or heteroaromatic reagent X1-Y(R2)-A-B' (Formula 9) in the presence of cuprous iodide, a suitable catalyst, typically Pd(PPh3)2Cl2, an acid acceptor, such as diethylamine, under inert gas (argon) atmosphere, to yield compounds of Formula 19.
Alternatively, as is described in connection with the analogous coupling reaction of Reaction Scheme 1, the zinc salts of the compounds of Formula 18 can also be coupled with the reagents of Formula 9, in the presence of Pd(PPh3)4 or similar complex. Compounds of Formula 19 are then reacted with a suitable brominating agent (such as N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) and benzoyl peroxide in carbontetrachloride) to yield the corresponding 5-bromo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalene derivatives of Formula 20. (numbering as shown for Compound 1) The 5-bromo substituent of the compounds of Formula 20 can be subjected to nucleophilic substitution reactions with nucleophilic reagents having the formula R5XH, in the presence of base. The R5 and X groups are defined as in connection with Formula 1, typically R5XH is the salt of a thiocarboxylic acid (such as potassium thioacetate) or the sodium derivative of an alcohol or thiol. The product of the latter nucleophilic
displacement reaction is a compound in accordance with Formula 21, which is within the scope of Formula 1.
The compounds of Formula 21 can be converted into further homologs and derivatives, as is described above in connection with compounds of Formulas 13, 15 and 16.
Reaction Scheme 3 discloses still another
synthetic route to the compounds of the invention within the scope of Formula 1. In accordance with this scheme, a 6- or 7-bromo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene derivative of Formula 17 (numbering as shown for
Compound F) is brominated with a suitable brominating agent (such as N.-bromosuccinimide (NBS) and benzoyl peroxide in carbontetrachloride) to yield the
corresponding 4- and 6- or 7- dibromo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene derivatives of Formula 22. The dibromo compounds of Formula 22 are then reacted with a nucleophilic reagent having the formula R5XH, in the presence of base. The R5 and X groups are defined as in connection with Formula 1; typically R5XH is the salt of a thiocarboxylic acid (such as potassium thioacetate) or the sodium derivative of an alcohol (such as the sodium salt of cyclohexanol), or thiol. The product of the latter reaction is a 6- or 7-bromo tetrahydronaphthalene derivative of Formula 23 which has the desired R5X substituent in the 4-position. The 6- or 7- bromo compound of Formula 23 is then reacted with trimethylsilylacetylene, followed by base (such as potassium carbonate) to yield the 6- or 7-ethynyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene derivatives of Formula 24. The latter two reactions involving introduction of the ethynyl group into the 6 or 7 position of the tetrahydronaphthalene nucleus are conducted under conditions substantially similar to the analogous reactions described above in connection with Reaction Schemes 1 and 2. The ethynyl compounds of Formula 24 are then coupled with the reagent X1-Y(R2)-A-B'
(Formula 9) under conditions which are described above for the analogous reactions of Reaction Schemes l and 2, to provide compounds of Formula 21. The compounds of Formula 21 are within the scope of Formula 1 or are such protected derivatives thereof which can be readily converted into compounds of the invention by chemical reactions well known in the art. These and similar reactions of the compounds of Formula 21 within the state of the art, are symbolized in Reaction Scheme 3 by conversion into "homologs and derivatives".
With reference to the coupling reactions of the reagent X1-Y(R2)-A-B' (Formula 9) shown in the
foregoing three reaction schemes, it is noted that, generally speaking, this coupling reaction can be conducted with 6- or 7- substituted ethynyl compounds which either already have a substituent desired for the present invention in the 4- position (as in Reaction Scheme 3) or have a precursor suitable for introduction of such desired substituent (as in Reaction Schemes 1 and 2).
In the preferred compounds of the invention the two R1 substituents are methyl, and the R2 and R3 substituents are hydrogen. Reaction Scheme 4
illustrates a synthetic process for preparing 7-bromo-3,4-dihydro-4,4-dimethylnaphthalen-1-one (Compound G) which serves as a starting material for the synthesis of several preferred compounds of the invention. Thus, referring now specifically to Reaction Scheme 4, ethyl 3-bromophenylacetate (Compound B, made by
esterification of 3-bromophenylacetic acid) is reduced with diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL H) to yield (3-bromophenyl)acetaldehyde. (3-Bromophenyl)acetaldehyde is reacted in a Wittig reaction with
(carbethoxymethylene)triphenylphosphorane to provide a mixture of E and Z. ethyl 4-(3-bromophenyl)but-2-enoates. The latter compounds are hydrogenated to yield ethyl 4-(3-bromophenyl)butanoate (Compound D). Compound D is reacted with the Grignard reagent derived from methylbromide to give the tertiary alcohol 5-(3-bromophenyl)-2-methylpentan-2-ol (Compound E) (It should be apparent to those skilled in the art, that the choice of the Grignard reagent used in this
reaction step determines the nature of the R1
substituent in the resulting compounds of the
invention.) Compound E is then treated with acid to cyclize it and to form 6-bromo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,1-dimethylnaphthalene (Compound F). Compound F is in the scope of Formula 17, and in accordance with Reaction Schemes 2 and 3 serves as the starting material in the synthesis of several preferred compounds of the
invention. Compound F is oxidized with chromium
trioxide to yield 7-bromo-3,4-dihydro-4,4-dimethylnaphthalen-1(2H)-one (Compound G). Compound G is covered by Formula 10 and in accordance with
Reaction Scheme 1 serves as a starting material in the synthesis of several preferred compounds of the
invention.
6-Bromo-3,4-dihydro-4,4-dimethylnaphthalen-1(2H)-one (Compound H) is isomeric with Compound G, and can be obtained, starting with ethyl (4-bromophenyl) acetate, in accordance with the sequence of reactions illustrated in Reaction scheme 4 for
Compound G.
6-Bromo-3,4-dihydro-4,4-dimethylnaphthalen-1(2H)-one (Compound H) can also be obtained in accordance with the published literature procedure: Mathur et al.
Tetrahedron, 41, 1509-1516 (1985). Compound H is also covered by Formula 10 and in accordance with Reaction Scheme 1 serves as a starting material in the synthesis of several preferred compounds of the invention.
Starting materials for the synthetic routes outlined in Reaction Schemes 1-3 where the R2 and/or R3 groups are other than hydrogen, can be obtained
similarly to the synthesis of the starting materials demonstrated in Reaction Scheme 4 , and/or by
introducing the R2 by a Friedel-Crafts or like reaction into the aromatic portion of the tetrahydronaphthalene nucleus.
Synthesis of Compounds of Formula 3
Compounds of Formula 3 can be synthesized in accordance with the synthetic steps illustrated in Reaction Schemes 5, 6 and 7. Referring first to
Reaction Scheme 5, the 1-oxo 6- or 7-bromo 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene derivative (numbering as
exemplified for Compound G) of Formula 10 is reacted with a ketone or aldehyde compound of Formula 25 wherein the R19 groups are defined as in connection with Formula 3. The reaction (McMurry coupling) is conducted at elevated temperature in the presence of lithium metal and titanium trichloride, in an inert ether type solvent, for example in refluxing 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME). The resulting compounds of Formula 26 are then reacted with
trimethylsilylacetylene as described above in
connection with Reaction Scheme 1 (cuprous iodide, Pd(PPh3)2Cl2, catalyst and triethylamine under inert atmosphere) and thereafter with base (potassium
hydroxide or potassium carbonate in an alcoholic solvent, such as methanol) to provide the 6- or 7-ethynyl 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene derivatives of Formula 27 which have the R19R19C= group attached to the tetrahydronaphthalene nucleus. Compounds of
Formula 27 are then coupled with the aromatic or heteroaromatic reagent X1-Y(R2)-A-B« (Formula 9) in the presence of cuprous iodide, a suitable catalyst, typically Pd(PPh3)2Cl2, an acid acceptor, such as diethylamine, under inert gas (argon) atmosphere, as described above in connection with Reaction Scheme 1, to yield compounds of Formula 28. Alternatively, as is also described in connection with the analogous
coupling reaction of Scheme 1, the zinc salts of the compounds of Formula 27 are coupled with the reagents of Formula 9, in the presence of Pd(PPh3)4 or similar complex. Compounds of Formula 28 are within the scope of Formula 3. They can be converted to further homologs and derivatives which are still within the scope of the invention, as is described above in connection with compounds of Formulas 13, 15 and 16.
Referring now to Reaction Scheme 6, synthesis of those compounds of Formula 3 is illustrated where one of the R19 groups represents hydrogen and the other is cyano (CN). These compounds are obtained by reacting a 5-oxo 2- or 3- (aryl or heteroaryl) ethynyl 5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalene compound of Formula 13 (numbering as exemplified for Compound 1) with diethyl cyanomethylphosphonate and potassium bis (trimethylsilyl) amide in an inert ether type solvent, such as tetrahydrofuran. The resulting compounds of Formula 29 can be converted into further homologs and derivatives, as described above. Also, the cyano derivative (Formula 29) can be converted into the corresponding aldehyde by reduction with diisobutylaluminum hydride.
Reaction Scheme 7 illustrates synthesis of those compounds of Formula 3 wherein one of the R19 groups is hydrogen and the other is a carboxylic acid ester (or derivative thereof). The starting compounds for these syntheses are compounds of Formula 30, which are within the scope of Formula 1 and can be obtained in
accordance with the synthetic procedures leading to compounds of Formula 1. Dehydration (elimination of the hydroxy group) of compounds of Formula 30 with a suitable reagent such as
(methoxycarbonylsulfamoyl) triethylammonium hydroxide (Burgess reagent) by heating moderately (50 °C) in an inert solvent, such as benzene, provides compounds of Formula 31 and also compounds isomeric therewith where the newly formed double bond is within the ring. The latter isomeric compounds are not shown in Reaction Scheme 7. The mixtures of these isomers are separated by chromatography or other conventional methods known in the art, to yield the compounds of Formula 31. The compounds of Formula 31 are within the scope of Formula 3, and can also be converted into further homologs and derivatives still within the scope of the invention.
Compounds of Formula 4 are synthesized from the 5-oxo-2- or 3- (aryl or heteroaryl) ethynyl 5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalene compounds of Formula 13 (numbering as exemplified for Compound 1) as is illustrated in Reaction Scheme 8. Thus, the 5-oxo compounds of
Formula 13 are reacted with a reagent of the formula H2N-Z (Formula 32), where Z is defined as in connection with Formula 4 , to yield compounds of Formula 4. Those skilled in the art will recognize that when the reagent H2N-Z is NH2OH or its salt, then the reaction is the formation of an oxime. These oximes are readily formed by reacting the compounds of Formula 13 with
hydroxylamine hydrochloride in a polar solvent, such as a lower alkanol, in the presence of a buffering agent, such as sodium acetate. The reaction can be conducted under similar conditions with a reagent of the formula NH2OR1 or its salt (such as methoxylamine hydrochloride or ethoxylamine hydrochloride) to yield compounds of Formula 4 where Z is OR1 (R1 is defined as in
connection with Formula 4). When the reagent H2N-Z is a primary amine (Z is R1, phenyl or benzyl) then the reaction between the compounds of Formula 13 and the primary amine is the formation of an imine. The latter reaction is usually conducted in a polar (alcoholic) solvent. Further reagents, in accordance with Formula 32 are those where Z is NHCON(R14)2 (formation of semicarbazone), NHCSN(R14)2 (formation of
thiosemicarbazone) and N(R14)2 (formation of a
hydrazone). (The symbol R14 is defined as in
connection with Formula 4.) The semicarbazones, thiosemicarbazones and hydrazones corresponding to Formula 4 can be prepared under conditions which are well known in the art for the formation of such derivatives of ketone compounds. Usually these
conditions are similar to the conditions leading to the oximes of compounds of Formula 13. Typically, the hydrochloride salt of of the reagent (semicarbazide, thiosemicarbazide or hydrazide) is reacted with the compound of Formula 13 in an alcoholic solvent, in the presence of sodium acetate.
Referring still to Reaction Scheme 8 synthesis of O-(2-tetrahydropyranyl) oxime derivatives of the
structure shown by Formula 34 is illustrated. To obtain these compounds, an oxime derivative of the Formula 33 is first prepared in accordance with the reaction described above. The oxime derivative of Formula 33 is thereafter reacted with 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran (DHP) in an inert solvent (such as
dichloromethane) in the presence of acid, typically pyridinium p-tolunesulfonate (PPTS). This reaction is typically conducted in the cold, or at ambient
temperature. The resulting product of Formula 34 is usually isolated by chromatography. Compounds of
Formula 4 where the Z group represents OC(R15)(R16)XR17 other than tetrahydropyranyl, (for example
tetrahydrothiopyranyl) can be prepared in reaction steps analogous to the ones described above for the preparation of compounds of Formula 34. The oxime derivatives of Formula 33 can also be reacted with an appropriate reagent (such as an acyl chloride R14COCl) to introduce the R14CO group, to provide the compounds of Formula 35. The compounds of Formula 4, 33, 34 and 35 can be converted into further homologs and
derivatives as is described above for compounds of Formulas 13, 15 and 16, and shown in Reaction Scheme 8.
In addition to the synthetic steps shown in Reaction Scheme 8, the compounds of Formula 4 can also be obtained, generally speaking, by first forming an oxime, alkoxyoxime, imine, hydrazone, semicarbazone etc. from the ketone compounds of Formula 10 (see Reaction Scheme 1) and thereafter performing the synthetic steps of replacing the 6 or 7-bromo
substituents in the resulting oximes, alkoxyoxime etc. with an ethynyl group and subsequently coupling the ethynyl compounds with the reagent X1-Y(R2)-A-B'
(Formula 9).
Compounds of Formula 5 can be prepared by the reactions illustrated in Reaction Scheme 9. In
accordance with this scheme, the 5-oxo 2- or 3- (aryl or heteroaryl) ethynyl 5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalene compounds of Formula 13 (numbering as exemplified for Compound 1) are reduced in the 5 position and aminated by reaction with ammonium acetate and sodium
cyanoborohydride (NaBH3CN). The latter reaction provides the 5-amino 2- or 3- (aryl or
heteroaryl) ethynyl 5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalene compounds of Formula 36. Compounds of Formula 36 where the NH2 group is not substituted (R14 of Formula 5 is hydrogen) comprise the presently preferred compounds of Formula 5. Compounds of Formula 5 where R14 is an alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl or aryl group (as such groups are defined in connection with Formula 5) are prepared by reaction of compounds of Formula 36 with a reagent of the formula R14-X1, where X1 is halogen. When R14 is an alkyl group then the reagent R14-X1 is an alkyl halide. Compounds of Formula 36 are reacted with an equal amount of an acylating agent, such as an acyl chloride (R8COCl) to yield compounds of Formula 5 which are amides (R14 represents R8CO in Formula 5). The compounds of Formula 36 and of Formula 5 can be converted into further homologs and derivatives by reactions well known to the practicing organic chemist, as is described above in connection with compounds of Formulas 13, 15 and 16.
Compounds of Formula 5 where R14 is alkyl,
alkenyl, alkynyl or aryl group (as such groups are defined in connection with Formula 5) can also be obtained from the 5-oxo 2- or 3- (aryl or
heteroaryl) ethynyl 5,6,7, 8-tetrahydronaphthalene compounds of Formula 13 by reacting compounds of
Formula 13 with the corresponding amine (R14NH2) and thereafter reducing the resulting imine compounds with hydrogen or other suitable reducing agent. A second R14 group which is alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl or aryl, or which is R8CO (acyl) can be introduced into the latter compounds by reaction with the reagent R14-X1 (X1 is halogen), or R8COCl.
In addition to the synthetic steps described above, the compounds of Formula 5 can also be obtained, generally speaking, by first forming the 5-amino, 5-alkylamino or 5-acylamido derivative from the ketone compounds of Formula 10 (see Reaction Scheme 1) and thereafter performing the synthetic steps of replacing the 6 or 7-bromo substituents in these compounds with an ethynyl group, and subsequently coupling the ethynyl compounds with the reagent X1-Y(R2)-A-B' (Formula 9).
Compounds of Formula 6 are obtained in accordance with Reaction Scheme 10, starting with the 5-oxo 2- or 3- (aryl or heteroaryl) ethynyl 5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalene compounds of Formula 13 (numbering as
exemplified for Compound 1). As the reaction scheme indicates, the ketone derivatives of Formula 13 are reacted with a reagent which "enolizes" the ketone function of the tetrahydronaphthalene nucleus. The resulting "enol" compound then reacts with a reagent which introduces the R20 group into the enol function. The group R20 is defined in connection with Formula 6. Suitable reagents for the purpose of introducing the R20 function include a reactive leaving group L. Thus, the reagents used in this reaction have the general formula R20-L, R14-CO-L, R14-L, and R21-L, where the R14 and R21 groups are defined as in connection with Formula 6. Examples of the reagents, and/or reaction conditions which are used for the synthesis of the preferred compounds of the invention within the scope of Formula 6 include: reacting compounds of Formula 13 with sodium bis (trimethylsilyl) amide and 2-[N,N-bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amino]-5-chloropyridine in an inert ether type solvent such as tetrahydrofuran at low temperatures (-78 °C and 0 °C) to obtain the 5-trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy-7,8-dihydronaphthalene derivative; reacting compounds of Formula 13 with acetic anhydride and p-toluenesulfonic acid at elevated temperature (80 °C) to obtain the 5-acetoxy-7,8-dihydronaphthalene derivative; and reacting compounds of Formula 13 with cyanotrimethylsilane in the presence of zinc iodide at ambient temperature to obtain the 5-trimethylsilyloxy-7,8-dihydronaphthalene derivative.
Compounds of Formula 38, obtained in the above- described manner are such compounds of Formula 6 where the X is oxygen. Compounds of Formula 6 where X is sulfur can be obtained by analogous reactions of the 5-thio analogs of the oxo compounds of Formula 13.
Compounds of Formula 6 where X is S and R20 is R14 (as R14 is defined in connection with Formula 6) are preferably obtained by reacting compounds of Formula 13 with titanium tetrachloride and a thiol of the formula R14SH in an inert ether type solvent (such as
tetrahydrofuran) in the presence of base (such as triethylamine). Generally speaking the reaction is conducted at room temperature. The latter reaction is shown in Reaction Scheme 10, and gives rise to
compounds of Formula 38A. The thienol ether compounds of Formula 38A can be oxidized to sulfoxides or with a suitable oxidizing agent, such as 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (MCPBA) to the corresponding sulfones of Formula 38B.
The compounds of Formula 38, 38A and 38B can be converted into further homologs and derivatives still within the scope of the invention, as is descibed above in connection with compounds of Formulas 13, 15 and 16.
It is noted at this point that the present
invention is not intended to be limited or bound by the above-mentioned theory of "enolization", and other theories of reaction mechanisms. Brief description of theory of reaction mechanisms (where applicable) are given to further enable and facilitate the work of a skilled artisan in the field to modify and adjust the synthetic conditions to fit particular specific
intermediates and to make the several compounds of the invention, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. In addition to the synthetic steps described in connection with Reaction Scheme 10, the compounds of Formula 6 can also be obtained, generally speaking, by first forming the "enolized" and acylated, alkylated or sulfonylated etc. derivative from the ketone compounds of Formula 10 (see Reaction Scheme 1) and thereafter performing the synthetic steps of replacing the 6 or 7-bromo substituents in these compounds with an ethynyl group, and subsequently coupling the ethynyl compounds with the reagent X1-Y(R2)-A-B' (Formula 9).
Reaction Scheme 11 discloses synthetic steps for the preparation of those compounds of Formula 7 where the R22 group is alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, carbocyclic aryl or heteroaryl, as these groups are broadly defined in Formula 7. In accordance with the presently preferred method of synthesizing these compounds of the invention, 5-trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy 2- or 3- (aryl or heteroaryl) ethynyl 7,8-dihydronaphthalene compounds of Formula 39 (numbering as exemplified for Compound 1) serve as starting materials. The compounds of Formula 39 can be obtained from the 5-oxo 2- or 3- (aryl or heteroaryl) ethynyl 5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalene compounds of Formula 13 by reaction with sodium
bis (trimethylsilyl) amide and 2-[N,N-bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amino]-5-chloropyridine in an inert ether type solvent such as tetrahydrofuran at low temperatures (-78 °C and 0 °C). This is described in connection with Reaction Scheme 10. Compounds of
Formula 39 are reacted with an organometal derivative derived from the alkane, alkene, alkyne, or aryl or heteroaryl compound R22H, such that the formula of the organometal derivative is R22Met (Met stands for metal), preferably R22Li. The reaction with the organometal derivative, preferably lithium derivative of the formula R22Li is usually conducted in an inert ether type solvent (such as tetrahydrofuran) in the presence of either (1) cuprous cyanide (cuCN) and lithium chloride (Licl), or in the presence of zinc chloride (ZnCl2) and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)-palladium(O) (Pd(PPh3)4). The organolithium reagent R22Li, if not commercially available, can be prepared from the compound R22H (or its halogen derivative R22-X1 where X1 is halogen) in an ether type solvent in accordance with known practice in the art. The
temperature range for the reaction between the reagent R22Li and the compounds of Formula 39 is, generally speaking in the range of approximately -78 °C to 50 °C. Examples of the lithium compounds which are used in the just described reaction are lithium salts derived from straight and branch chained alkanes, such as methyl lithium, butyllithium, t-butyllithium, lithium salts derived from carbocyclic aryl compounds, such as phenyl lithium, and lithium salts derived from heteroaryl compounds, such as 2-thiazolyllithium, 2-furyl lithium, 2-thienyllithium, and 2-pyridyllithium. The just described synthetic process is preferably used for the synthesis of compounds of the invention within the scope of Formula 7 where the triple bonded (alkynyl) carbon is not directly attached to the 5-position of the 7,8-dihydronaphthalene nucleus. These compounds are shown in Formula 40 as the products of the reaction of compounds of Formula 39 with the R22Li reagent.
Referring still to Reaction Scheme 11, the
presently preferred method for the synthesis of those compounds of Formula 7 is disclosed where a triple bonded (alkynyl) carbon is directly attached to the 5position of the 7, 8-dihydronaphthalene nucleus. These compounds are shown in Formula 41, where R23 is defined as R22 of Formula 7 minus a two carbon fragment, so that the alkyne reagent R23C≡CH is within the applicable definition of R22 of Formula 7; namely R23C≡CH is alkynyl having 2 to 10 carbons and 1 to 3 triple bonds, phenyl-C1 - C10alkynyl having 1 to 3 triple bonds, hydroxyalkynyl having 2 to 10 carbons and 1 to 3 triple bonds, acyloxyalkynyl of 2 to 10 carbons and 1 to 3 triple bonds. Compounds of Formula 41 are obtained by the reaction compounds of Formula 39 with the reagent R23CsCH in an inert ether type solvent, or
dimethylformamide, or without solvent, in the presence of a mild base (such as diethylamine), cuprous iodide (CuI), and bis (triphenylphosphine) palladium(II)
chloride (Pd(PPh3)2Cl2) in an inert gas (argon)
atmoshere. The reaction is typically conducted in the temperature range of ambient to 70 °C.
Compounds of Formula 40 and 41 can be converted into further homologs and derivatives still within the scope of the invention, as is descibed above in
connection with compounds of Formulas 13, 15 and 16.
Referring now to Reaction Scheme 12 an alternative synthetic route for the preparation of compounds of Formula 7 is disclosed.
According to this reaction scheme, derivatives of 5-hydroxy, 2- or 3- (aryl or heteroaryl) ethynyl
5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalene compounds of Formula 42 serve as the starting materials. Compounds of Formula 42 are within the scope of Formula 1, and can be prepared in accordance with the procedures set forth for the preparation of compounds of Formula l.
Specifically, in Formula 42 the group R22 is defined as in connection with Formula 7, and R24 is hydrogen, or trialkylsilyl (preferably trimethylsilyl), or any other group which is suitable to form a leaving group including the R24O- element, in the elimination
reaction which is shown in the reaction scheme. The product of the elimination reaction is a compound of Formula 7. The reaction is conducted under conditions which are known in the art of organic chemistry to cause formation of double bonds by elimination, for example in refluxing pyridine in the presence of excess phosphorous oxychloride (POCl3), or in a neutral hydrocarbon type solvent (such as benzene) in the presence of (methoxycarbonylsulfamoyl) triethylammonium hydroxide (Burgess reagent). Reaction Scheme 12 is presently preferred for the preparation of compounds of Formula 7 where the R22 group is hydrogen, cyano (CN) and CH2COOEt. The elimination reaction which results in compounds where R22 is CH2COOEt also gives rise to isomers where the double bond is exterior to the condensed 6-membered ring. The latter compounds are within the scope of Formula 3 and are not shown in this reaction scheme.
