The compounds of general formula I possess valuable pharmacological properties.
They possess not only a positive inotropic activity but in particular anti-
thrombotic activities. These compounds are described in more detail in our
Canadian Patent No. 1,116,600 issued January 19, 1982. It has now been found
that the carbostyrils of general formula I can be prepared according to the
following processes:


a) Cyclisation of a compound, optionally formed in situ in the reaction mixture,

of general formula

Z - C - W ~ ~



H - Ni ~ 0 - D - Sm - R2 , (II)
Rl 4
wherein
D, W, Rl, R2, R3, R4, and m are as defined above and Z represents a nucleo-
philically exchangeable group. Typical groups of this type are the hydroxy

group, a halogen atom, an al~oxy, aryloxy or aralkoxy group, other groups
can also ~e used.


The cyclisation is preferably carried out in the presence of a con-lensing
agentJ such as sulfuric acid, conc. hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid or
thionyl chlorideJ appropriately in a solvent such as glacial acetic acid,
tetrahydrofurane, dioxane, chloroform, tuluene, ethanol or in an excess of
the used condensing agent at elevated temperatures, e.g. at temperatures
between 50 and 200C, preferably however, at temperatures between 80 and
150C. The reaction can, however, also be carried out without a solvent
and/or condensing agent.


It is not necessary to isolate a compound of general formula II, which is
used as starting agent. This compound can be prepared in situ from the
corresponding nitro compound, e.g. by reduction of the nitro group with
hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenating catalyst such as palladium/
charcoal, palladium/calcium carbonate or palladium/calcium carbonate + lead
acetate (Lindlar-catalyst), by reduction with metals such as iron, tin or
zinc in the presence of an acid, by reduction with salts such as iron-~II)-
sulfate, zinc-(II)-chloride, chromo-(II)-chloride or sodium di~hionite or
by reduction with hydrazine in the presence of Raney-Nickel.


If in a corresponding nitro compound m represents the number 1, the reduc-
tion of the nitro group is appropriately carried out with an equivalent
amount of the necessary reducing agent, e.g. with a metal salt such as iron-
(II)-sulfate, tin-(II)-chloride, chromo-(II)-chloride or sodium dithionite,
or with hydrogen in the presence of a deactivated hydrogenation catalyst,
e.g. in the presence of palladium/calcium carbonate + lead acetate. If,

for example, the reduction is carried out in the presence of palladium/charcoal, the sulfoxyl group is also partly reduced.


If, furthermore, in a corresponding nitro compound W represents the viny-
lene group, this group can be hydrogenated to the corresponding ethylene
group, especially if the reduction is carried out with catalytically acti-
vated hydrogen, e.g. with hydrogen in the presence of palladium/charcoal.

The reaction is carried out appropriately in a suitable solvent such as
dioxane, tetrahydrofurane, chloroform or toluene, preferably, however, in
a waterfree aprotic solvent such as acetone, dimethylformamide or dimethyl-
sulfoxide, optionally in the presence of an alkali base such as sodium car-
bonate, potassium carbonate or sodium hydroxide at temperatures between 0C
and the boiling temperature of the used solvent, e.g. at temperatures be-
tween O and 100 !C, preferably, however, at temperatures between 10 and 50~.
The reaction can also be carried out in the absence of a solvent.

temperature of the reaction mixture, e.g. at temperatures between 118 and140C. A compound of general formula V is prepared appropriately by re-
duction of a corresponding nitro compound in the presence of ace~yl chloride
or acetic anhydride, this compound has not to be isolated.


The compounds o general formulae II to V which are used as starting mat-
erials are partly known from the literature, or they can be obtained ac-
cording to known methods.


Thus, a compound of general formula II is obtained by reduction of a cor-
l~; responding ~itro compound, which is obtained by alkylation of a correspond-

ing 2-nitro-5-hydroxy compound with a corresponding ~, ~ diahalogen alkane,
subsequent reaction with a corresponding mercapto compound and optionally
by subsequent oxidation with hydrogen peroxide.


A starting compound of general formula III is obtained by reaction of a
corresponding hydroxy carbostyril with a corresponding in ~, w-position
substituted alkane. The necessary corresponding 6-, 7- or 8-hydroxy-3,
4-dihydrocarbostyril is obtained by acylation of a corresponding aniline
derivative with a corresponding ~-halogen carboxylic acid derivative and
subsequent cyclisation according to Friedel-Crafts ~see J. Chem. Soc. 1955,
743 - 744, Chem. Pharm. Bull 1961, 970 - 975 and Ber. dtsch. Chem. Ges. 60,
858 ~1927)). A 5-hydroxy-3, 4-dihydrocarbostyril is obtained by cyclisa-
tion of a corresponding 2-~-cyanoethyl)-cyclohexanedione-1,3-derivative
and subsequent aromatisation for example with N-bromo-succinimide (see
Chem. and Ind. 1970, 1435). The preparation of the corresponding necessary
hydroxy-carbostyril is known from the literature ~see for example J. Amer.
Chem. Soc. 72, 346 ~1950) and ibid 76, 2402 ~1954) resp. J. Org. Chem. 33,

1089 ~1968) and ibid 36, 3493 ~1971)~.

A compound of general formula V used as starting compound is obtained for
example by alkylation of a corresponding hydroxy-nitro-benzaldehyde, or its
acetal or ester with a corresponding halogenide and subsequent reduction
of the nitro group in the presence of acetic anhydride.

6.6 g of the raw 2-nitro-5-[4-(2-pyridylmercapto)-butoxy]-benzaldehyde were
heated to boiling with 3 ml of acetic acid anhydride and 0.01 g of water-
free zinc chloride for 30 minutes. After cooling the reaction mixture was
stirred with 60 ml of glacial acetic acid and 2!5 g of 35% hydrogen peroxide
for 15 hours at room temperature. ~le reaction mixture was hydrogenated in
a parr-apparatus by addition of 0.1 g of palladium/charcoal at a hydrogen
pressure of 3 bar for 11 hours at room temperature. For the acetylation of
the formed amino compound the reaction mixture was evaporated in vacuo to
dryness, heated again with 20 ml of acetic acid anhydride for 30 minutes and
the excess acetic acid anhydride and glacial acetic acid was distilled off.
