Description

SPECIFICATION Hexahydronaphthacene derivatives The present invention is concerned with hexahydronaphthacene derivatives.
The hexahydronaphthacene derivatives provided by the present invention are compounds of the general formulae
wherein R1 represents a lower alkyl or esterified carboxy group or a group of the formula
in which R2 and R3 together form an oxo group or a protected oxo group and X represents a hydrogen atom or a hydroxy or acyloxy group, or (CH2)n -OY b in which n stands for 1 or 2 and Y represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl or acyl group, Ar represents an aryl group and R4 represents an acyl group.
The compounds of formulae la and Ib are useful intermediates in the process described in our copending Application No. 8023715.
As used in this Specification, the term "lower alkyl" means a straight-chain or branched-chain alkyl group which preferably contains from 1 to 6 carbon atoms such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, tert.
butyl, pentyl, hexyl etc. A protected oxo group herein can be any conventional protected oxo group.
Preferably, an oxo group is protected in the form of a ketal or thioketal, especially an alkylene ketal or alkylene thioketal. An esterified carboxy group can be an alkoxycarbonyi group (e.g. methoxycarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl etc), an aryloxycarbonyl group (e.g. phenoxycarbonyl etc) or an arylkoxycarbonyl group (e.g. benzyloxycarbonyl etc). The methoxycarbonyl group is the preferred alkoxycarbonyl group. An acyl group or the acyl moiety of an acyloxy group can be derived from an alkanecarboxylic acid (e.g. acetic acid, propionic acid etc), an aromatic carboxylic acid (e.g. benzoic acid etc) or an araliphatic carboxylic acid (e.g.
phenylacetic acid etc). An aryl group can be, for example, phenyl, substituted-phenyl (e.g. methoxyphenyl), pyridyl etc.
The compounds of formula la hereinbefore can be prepared by de-acylating a compound of formula Ib herein before.
The de-acylation of a compound of formula Ib is preferably carried out using boron trichloride in an inert organic solvent (e.g. a halogenated hydrocarbon such as dichloromethane etc) and at a low temperature (e.g. at about -100C). The de-acylation may also be carried out by aqueous acid or base treatment under conventional conditions.
The compounds of formula Ib hereinbefore can be prepared by oxidising a compound of the general tormula
,wherein R1, R4 and Ar have the significance given earlier, with a chromic oxidising agent under anhydrous conditions.
A preferred chromic oxidising agent for use in the foregoing oxidation is chromium trioxide. In a preferred embodiment, this oxidation is carried out in the presence of a mixture of an appropriate anhydrous carboxylic acid and the anhydride corresponding thereto (e.g. a mixture of glacial acetic acid and acetic anhydride). This oxidation can be carried out at a temperature between about room temperature and about 60"C, preferably at about room temperature.
The compounds of formula II hereinbefore are claimedperse in copending Application No.
Compounds of formulae la and Ib hereinbefore can exist not only in racemic but also in optically active form. It will be appreciated that the invention includes not only the racemates but also the optical isomers. A racemate can be split up into its optical isomers in accordance with methods known per se. For example, a compound in which R1 represents an esterified carboxy group can be saponified to the corresponding carboxylic acid (e.g. by treatment with an alkali metal hydroxide such es sodium hydroxide) and the acid can be resolved by salt formation with an appropriate base such as brucine. An optically active acid thus obtained can subsequently be esterified to give a corresponding optically active ester.
The following Examples illustrate the manner in which the compounds of formulae la and Ib can be prepared.
Example 1 (A) 331 mg (0.6 mmol) of rac-cisd,l 2-diacetoxy-3-(l,l-ethylenedioxyethyl)-l ,2,3,4-tetrahydro-l,3- naphthacene-diyl benzeneboronate were dissolved in a mixture of 18 ml of glacial acetic acid and 6 ml of acetic anhydride. 250 mg (2.4 mmol) of finely ground chromium trioxide were added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The mixture was then poured into 250 ml of water and the resulting suspension was extracted with two 200 ml portions of dichloromethane.The combined dichloromethane extracts were evaporated and the residue was triturated with diethyl ether and filtered to give 110 mg of rac-cis-5,1 2-diacetoxy-3-(1 , 1 -ethylenedioxyethyl)-1 ,2,3,4,6,1 1 -hexahydro-6,1 1 -dioxo-1 ,3-naphthacenediyl benzeneboronate in the form of a pale yellow solid of melting point 210 -220 C. Concentration of the diethyl ether mother liquor gave a second crop weighing 100 mg. The total yield of product was 210 mg (60%).

A solution of 125 mg of boron trichloride in 5 ml of dichloromethane was added and the mixture was stirred and left to warm to - 10 C over a period of 1 hour. The mixture was then poured into 20 ml of ice-cold 2-M hydrochloric acid and the layer were separated. The organic layer was washed with 20 ml of water, dried over an hydros sodium sulphate, filtered and the filtrate was evaporated.The residue was triturated with 5 ml of diethyl ether and filtered to give 60 mg (77%) of rac-cis-3-acetyl-1,2,3,4,6,11- hexahydro-5,1 2-dihydroxy-6,1 1 -dioxo-1 ,3-naphthacenediyl benzeneboronate in the form of a bright red solid of melting point 215 -223 C.
