BACRGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the invention The present invention relates, in general, to novel enantiomeric carbamate compounds pharmaceutically useful for central nervous disorders and, more particularly, to (S)-2-aryl-1,3-propanediol monocarbamate derived from (R)-3-acetoxy-2-arylpropanol carbamate and to (S)-3-acetoxy-2-aryipropanol carbamate, its intermediate. Also, the present invention is concerned with processes for preparing the novel carbamate compounds.

For example, 2-methyl-2-propyl 1,3-propanediol dicarbamate was reported in J. Am. Chem.
Soc., 73, 5779 (1951), and the pharmaceutical activity thereof was ascertained in J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., 104, 229 (1952).
U.S. Pat. No. 3,256,728 discloses that the compounds, represented by the following general formula A, are pharmaceutically useful therapeutics for CNS disorders.

No. 2,884,444 and isopropyl meprobamate in U.S. Pat. No. 2,937,119. At present, various researches for such carbamate compounds are being actively continued in the art.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Based on intensive and thorough study and research by the present inventors, it was found that the carbamate compounds represented by the following structural formulas I and II are useful for the treatment and prevention of W O 96109283 2 l 7 6 9 6 0 PCTlKR95100124 CNS diseases including nervous myalgia, epilepsy and ' cerebral apoplexy:

wherein X is an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom; and Y

In addition, taking advantage of the far superior activity of single enantiomeric isomer to racemic mixture in biological systems, the present inventors developed the enantiomers of Formulas I and II, which had never been WO 96109283 217 6 9 6 0 PCT~~00124 found, and applied them as pharmaceutically active ingredients against CNS diseases.
The carbamate compounds of Formulas I and II are chiral molecules with a chiral center of carbon at 2 propyl and may have either an (S) or (R)-configuration.
Accordingly, it is an-object of the present invention to provide novel (S)-enantiomeric compounds represented by Formulas I and II-, which have pharmaceutically useful activity against central nervous system diseases.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a method for preparing the compounds of Formulas I and II at high yield and high purity within a short time.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The compound of Formula II can be prepared by treating (R)-3-acetoxy-2-aryl-propanol, represented by the following formula III:

[III]
CHZOH
wherein, R is as defined above, with phosgene in a mixture of aromatic hydrocarbon and halogenohydrocarbon in the presence of amine base, and followed by anhydrous ammonia.
Available aromatic hydrocarbons include benzene, WO 96109283 2 ~ 7 6 9 6 0 PCT/KR95/0012~1 toluene and xylene and a halogenohydrocarbon is selected ' from the group consisting of chloroform, dicholomethane, 1,2-dichloroethane and trichloroethane. The preferred solvent is a mixture of toluene and dichloromethane.
5 As the amine base, antipyrine, diisopropylethylamine, diethylamine, triethylamine or pyridine is available, with a preference to such a sterically hindered base as triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine or antipyrine.

Temperature is maintained at -30 to 0 'C upon reaction with phosgene while the reaction with anhydrous ammonia is carried out at a temperature of -70 to 0 'C.

For use, anhydrous ammonia is condensed to a liquid.

It is added at an excess of 10 to 100 equivalents and preferably at an excess of 25 to 50 equivalents.

In accordance with the present invention, the compound of Formula I can be converted from (S)-3-acetoxy-2-aryl-propanol carbamate, represented by Formula II, through the catalytic reaction of hydrolase in a buffer solution. High yield and optical purity can be accomplished within a short time by the enzymatic hydrolysis of (S)-3-acetoxy-2-aryl-propanol carbamate into (S)-2-aryl-1,3-propanediol monocarbamate.

Generally, enzymes show a far higher catalytic activity than chemical catalysts while giving less by-products.--In addition, since the enzymatic conversion of (S)-3-acetoxy-2-arylpropanol carbamate into (S)-2-aryl-1,3-propanediol monocarbamate is carried out at a low WO 96109283 t ' y ~ 2 l 7 6 9 6 0 PCT/KR95100124 temperature in a neutral aqueous solution, for example, phosphate buffer solution, the side-reactions attributable ' to the enzyme can be eliminated. Following the hydrolysis, the enzyme used can be almost completely removed only by filtration without lowering the product yield. Accordingly, the present invention is very advantageous in time and cost.
In more detail, the (S)-3-acetoxy-2-arylpropanol carbamate of Formula II is dissolved in a phosphate buffer solution and then, vigorously stirred at a temperature of 0 to 35 'C and with ordinary pressure in the presence of hydrolase. Preference is given to a temperature of 10 to 25 'C. Care must be taken to control the reaction temperature. A reaction temperature of higher than 35 'C
makes the hydrolysis proceed faster but causes the enzyme to be lowered in selectivity, deleteriously affecting the optical purity of the product.
The phosphate buffer solution has a pH ranging from 6 to 9 with a preference of 7. For example, if the phosphate buffer solution has a pH of higher or lower than 7, the optical purity of the product becomes poor. In order for the selectivity of the enzyme not to be lowered, the phosphate buffer solution is preferably diluted into 0.01 to 0.1 mole solution.
With regard to the hydrolase used for the conversion, various sources are available. Representative examples include lipase extracted from pig's pancreas (PPL), WO 96109283 217 6 9 6 0 PCT/KR9510012.1 Candida lipase (CCL), Aspagillus lipase (ANL), Pseudomona5 ' lipase (PSL) and an esterase from pig's liver (PLE), with a preference for PLE.
Usually at 4 to 5 hours after adding the enzyme, the conversion reaction of (S)-3-acetoxy-2-aryl-propanol carbamate into (S)-2-aryl-1,3-propanediol monocarbamate is terminated. Thin layer chromatography or high performance liquid chromatography may be used to determine the termination point of the conversion reaction.
From the resultant reaction mixture, the enzyme may be filtered off simply and then, the solvent is removed by using a rotary evaporator. Purification by column chromatography gives (S)-2-aryl-1,3-propanediol monocarbamate of Formula I, a novel compound.
Likewise, (R)-3-acetoxy-2-aryl-propanol of Formula III can be prepared by use of an enzyme. For this, PPL, CCL or PSL is immobilized to cellite. Preference is given to PPL and PSL_ 2-aryl-1,3-propanediol is dissolved in anhydrous alkyl acetate, such as methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate and vinyl acetate, or anhydrous alkenyl acetate and incubated at a temperature of -10 to 35 'C. Following this, the reactant is added with the immobilized catalyst system in the absence of solvent while vigorously stirring. At this moment, the reaction is carried out preferably at a temperature of 0 to 35 'C
under ordinary pressure. Particularly, care must be taken to control the temperature below 35 'C because higher W O 96/09283 , ; ~ ; ' _ 2 ~ 7 6 9 6 0 PCTIKR95100124 temperature makes the reaction proceed too fast, resulting in degradation of optical purity.
High performance liquid chromatography can also be used about 3 hours-after the reaction, to determine the termination of the reaction. Five hours after the reaction is usual-ly enough to obtain the compound of Formula III with a yield of 85 % or larger and an optical purity of 99 % or more.
To identify (S)-2-aryl-1,3-propanediol monocarbamate as a pharmaceutically useful material, anticonvulsant activity assay of the novel compound of the present invention was executed through standard Maximal Electro Shock (MES) test. To the end, 0.5 g (S)-2-phenyl-1,3 propanediol monocarbamate was suspended in 100 ml buffer solution at pH 7.4. The prepared suspension was administered into ten male CD-2 mice weighing about 20 to g at a dose of 300 mg/kg. Oral administration through a syringe is preferred. At one hour after administration, the middle of the forehead of the mice was electrically 20 shocked at 50 mA for 0.2 second by use of corneal electrode. Of the ten mice administered with the compound of the present invention, nine were not convulsed and acted as usual_ Only one was convulsed. to death.
A better understanding of the present invention may 25 be obtained in light of following examples which are set forth to illustrate, and are not to be construed to limit, the present invention.
