4 Claims, No Drawings 1 srr-rrnu/nnona-cnias BENZOXADIAZEPHNES OBJECTS OF THE INVENTlON It is an object of the present invention to provide new compounds having central nervous system (CNS) stimulating activity. Another object is to provide new compounds having muscle relaxant properties. A further object is to provide intermediates for the preparation of the final compounds of the invention. Yet another object is to provide a method for the preparation of both the intermediate and the final compounds of the present invention. A still further object is to provide pharmaceutical compositions containing as active ingredients the final compounds of the present invention. These and other objects of the present invention will be apparent from the following description.

SUMMARY OF THE lNVENTION The compounds of the present invention have the fol lowing formulae RI N,CH (CH o (R rfl J\ wherein m may be 1 or 2; when m is l, R occupies either position -4 or -5 of the original 2-aminopyrimidine, but when R is halogen it occupies only position -5; when m is 2, the two Rs occupy the 4- and 5- positions of the original Z-aminopyrimidine, but only one of the two R-substituents can be halogen and it must occupy the 5-position;

R may be the same or different and may be hydrogen, halogen (F, C1, or Br), alkyl of from 1 to 4 carbons, benzyl, phenyl, or mono-substituted phenyl wherein the substituent may be halogen (F, Cl, Br or I), alkyl of from 1 to 4- carbons, alkoxy of from 1 to 4 carbons, or trifluoromethyl;

R may be hydrogen, halogen (F, Cl, Br or l), alkyl of from 1 to 4 carbons, alkylsulfonyl wherein. the alkyl radical has from 1 to 4 carbons, dialk ylamidosulfonyl wherein each alkyl radical may have from 1 to 4 carbons, trifluoromethyl;

n may be 0 or 1;

and R" may be alkyl of from 1 to 4 carbons, or hy drogen;

and pharmaceutically acceptable acid-addition salts thereof.

The foregoing compounds possess central nervous system stimulating properties and act as muscle relaxants.

- DETAILED DESCRIPTION wherein R is as previously defined with an o bromophenoxyalkylene halide lll wherein R" is as previously defined and X is chlorine or bromine. This reaction takes place in any solvent or solvent mixture in which the reactants can be dissolved and which has a boiling point of at least about C. Typical solvents are aromatic hydrocarbons, others, aliphatic alcohols or aryhsubstituted aliphatic alcohols. Toluene and xylene are examples of suitable aromatic hydrocarbons. Monomethyl ether of diethylene glycol, dirnethyl ether of diethylene glycol (diglyme), monornethyl ether of ethylene glycol or dimethyl ether of ethylene glycol (glyrne) are examples of suitable ethers. n-Arnyl alcohol is an example of a suitable aliphatic alcohol, while benzyl alcohol is an example of a suitable arylsubstituted aliphatic alcohol. Heating compounds ii and ill in a solvent as described above, or a mixture thereof, at temperatures from about 100 to about 140%: for a period of several hours, typically from about 3 to about 24 hours produces a pyrimidiniurn compound W. The latter is converted to an imino compound V by treating with a water miscible alcohol and an alkali metal alkoxide of up to 3 carbon atoms or an alkali metal carbonate. The reaction takes place at room temperature over a period of from about 1 to about 4 hours. Qompound V may be converted to the final compound I by treating with a water miscible alcohol and an alkali metal alkoxide of up to 3 carbons in the presence of copper at a temperature of from about 60 to about 126 for about 4 to 10 days, typically from about 6 to about 8 days. Alternatively, lV may be converted directly to l by heating at a temperature of from about 60 to about 126T for about 4 to 10 days, typically from about 6 to about 8 days in the presence of potassium carbonate and copper in a solvent such as dimethyltormamide, dirnethylacetamide, dichlorobenzene, trichlorobenzene, or diethylbenzene. Alternatively, however, IV may be converted directly to l by heating at a temperature of from about 60 to about C for about 4 to 10 days, typically from about 6 to about 8 days in the presence of an alkali metal hydroxide, alkali metal carbonate, tris-alkali metal phosphate, alkali metal metaborate or alkali metal tetraborate in a solvent comprising a mixture or? water and a water miscible alcohol in the presence of copper. Specific examples of suitable compounds include LiOl-l, NaOH, KOH, RbUH, CsOli, Na 'CO K CO Rb CO Cs CO Na PO K PO Rb PO (3 11 0,, Na B O Na B,0 X 8 0 and K 8 0 The ratios of water and alcohol in the mixture of water and a water miscible alcohol are such that a homogeneous single phase system results.

When in is l, and when R occupies only the 5- position of ll, only one isomer, l, is formed. When m is 1 and when R occupies only the 4-position of lla, and R occupies only the 5--position of ill, two isomers, la and lb are formed via the intermediates TV a or Va and lVb and Vb, respectively. Wl'ien m is 2, and since the two Rs occupy only the 4--, S-positions, two isomeric products, lo and Id are formed. The isomers, in all in stances, can be separated by conventional procedures, e.g., fractional recrystallization or column chromatography.

The foregoing reaction sequences are illustrated by the following equations:

The intermediates of formula III wherein n is 0 may be prepared by refluxing about equimolar amounts of a 1,l-dibromoalkane or a l-bromo-l-chloroalkane of l to 4 carbons VI with a saturated solution of Na SO for a period of from about 40 to about 120 hours. The resulting l-bromoalkane-l-sodium sulfonate VII is then reacted by heating with about equimolar amounts of an o-bromophenol VIII in the presence of aqueous alkali illustrated by the following equations:

The muscle relaxant properties manifest themselves by responses that include decreased limb tone, decreased grip strength, and limb paralysis. in

both the stimulant and muscle relaxant activities, the.

onset of activity is rapid, i.e., within about minutes; the activity persists for about 2 hours or longer. in the rat the dosage range varies from about 6.25 to about 50 mg/kg for both activities, while in humans the dosage range varies from about 40 to about 2000 mg. daily in about four divided doses for both activities.

In addition to serving as intermediates for the preparation of compounds of formula l, the pyrimidinium compounds of formula l\/ are themselves effective bactericides.

Microbial bioassays, as described in The Microbial World, by R. Y. Stanier, 'M. Doudoroff and E. A. Adelberg, Prentice-Hall, lnc., Englewood Cliffs, Ni, 3rd Ed, p. 858, are employed to determine the bactericidal properties of the pyrimidinium compounds IV of this invention.

In the procedure, a sterile agar plate is seeded with the test organism, and then a number of glass cylinders are placed on its surface, forming a series of little cups. A known dilution of the compounds of this invention is added to each cup and the entire plate is then incubated until significant bacterial growth has occurred. The compounds of this invention diffuse out of the cup into the surrounding agar and produce a zone of inhibition. In this fashion it is possible to find the minimum inhibiting concentration (mic), of the compound that produces a recognizable zone of inhibition. The following summarizes the data.

The compounds of the present invention in the tie scribed dosages may be administered orally; however, other routes such as intraperitoneally, subcutaneously, intramuscularly or intravenously may be employed.

The active compounds of the present invention are orally administered, for example, with an inert diluent or with an assimilable edible carrier, or they may be enclosed in hard or soft gelatin capsules, or they may be compressed into tablets, or they may be incorporated directly with the food of the diet. For oral therapeutic administration, the active compounds of this invention may be incorporated with excipients and used in the form of tablets, troches, capsules, elixirs, suspensions, syrups, wafers, chewing gum, and the like. The amount of active compound in such therapeutically useful compositions or preparations is such that a suitable dosage will be obtained.

The tablets, troches, pills, capsules and the like may also contain the following: a binder such as gum tragacanth, acacia, corn starch or gelatin; an excipient such as dicalcium phosphate; a disintegrating agent such as corn starch, potato starch, alginic acid and the like; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate; and a sweetening agent such as sucrose, lactose or saccharin may be added or a flavoring agent such as peppermint, oil of Wintergreen, or cherry flavoring. When the dosage unit form is a capsule, it may contain in addition to materials of the above type a liquid carrier such as a fatty oil. Various other materials may be present as coatings or to otherwise modify the physical form of the dosage unit, for instance, tablets, pills or capsules may be coated with shellac, sugar, or both. A syrup or elixir may contain the active compounds, sucrose as a sweetening agent, methyl and propyl parabens as preservatives, a dye and a flavoring such as cherry or orange flavor. Of course, any material used in preparing any dosage unit form should be pharmaceutically pure and substantially non-toxic in the amounts employed.

As to the pharrnaceutically acceptable salts, those coming within the purview of the invention include the pharmaceutically acceptable acid-addition salts. Acids useful for preparing these acid-addition salts include, inter alia, inorganic acids, such as the hydrohalic acids (cg, hydrochloric and hydrobromic acid), sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and phosphoric acid, and organic acids such as rnaleic, fumaric, tartaric, citric, acetic, benzoic, 2-acetoxybenzoic, salicylic, succinic acid, theophylline, fl-chlorothcophylline, p-aminobenzoic, pacetamidobenzoic, or methanesulfonic.

The following examples illustrate the present invention without, however, limiting the same thereto. All temperatures in the following examples as well as the preceding description are expressed in degrees Centigrade.
