Abstract
The present invention provides a multistep process for the preparation of .beta.-cyclo-substituted ethylamines of the general formula:- Ar--CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --NH.sub.2 (I) in which AR is a heterocyclic or non-heterocyclic aromatic radical, which is optionally mono- or poly- substituted, wherein said compounds represent a class of intermediates which can be converted to 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro[3,2-C] or [2,3-C]pyridines wherein the latter are useful for anti-inflammatory, vasodilator or blood platelet aggregation inhibition activities.
Claims11
A multi-step process for the preparation of .beta.-cyclo-substituted ethylamines of the formula:
- Ar--CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --NH.sub.2 (I)
- in which Ar is selected from the group consisting of thienyl, furfuryl, pyridyl, phenyl and mono- or disubstituted thienyl, furfuryl, pyridyl, naphthyl and phenyl, wherein the substituent is selected from the group consisting of halogen nitro, amino, cyano, carboxyl, lower alkyl, haloloweralkyl, lower alkoxy, haloloeralkoxy and phenyl, which comprises condensing a compound of the formula:
- ##STR48## in which X and Y, which may be the same or different, are lower alkyl, aryl, lower alkoxy, aryloxy, diloweralkylamino or diarylamino radicals, with a carbonyl compound of the formula:
- Ar--CHO (III)
- in which Ar is as hereinbefore defined, to give a compound of the formula:
- ##STR49## in which X, Y and Ar are as hereinbefore defined, treating the resultant compound with a base of the formula B.sup.- M.sup.+ to give a carbanion of the formula:
- ##STR50## in which the X, Y and Ar are as hereinbefore described and M is alkyl, alkaline earth or alkali metals, heating the resulting compound so as to form a compound of the formula:
- ##STR51## in which X, Y, M.sup.+ and Ar are as hereinbefore described, treating the compound formed with water so as to yield a compound of the formula:
- ##STR52## in which X, Y and Ar are as hereinbefore described, treating the resulting compound with a reducing agent to give a compound of the formula:
- ##STR53## in which X, Y and Ar are as hereinbefore described, and then reacting the resulting compound with an acid to give a compound of formula (I).
