Scheme 1
IV ~IIIa
The compound of formula IIIa can be produced by
reacting the compound of formula IV with propargyl alcohol
in the presence of a palladium II salt such as palladium
chloride or acetate, an organophosphine, for example,
triphenylphosphine, cuprous iodide and a tertiary or,
preferably, secondary amine, such as, diethylamine or
diisopropylamine. The reaction solvent may be the amine
itself, e.g., diethylamine, a halogenated hydrocarbon,
e.g., methylene chloride, dimethylformamide or an ether
solvent. The reaction temperature may range from about
0 C to about 70 C with ambient temperatures as preferred.
The presence of cuprous iodide is mandatory if the reaction
is carried out at room temperature or below whilst this
is not the case if the reaction is carried out with heating.
The presence of the organophosphine is not absolutely
necessary but highly advantageous. Instead of the palladium
salt plus the organophosphine an appropriate complex such
as dichloro bis (triphenylphosphine) palladium II can also
be utilized.
'
The starting material of formula IV may be produced
; by diazotizing the corresponding known aminobenzophenone
~- using sodium nitrite in sulfuric acid and isolating the
llZ8937
-- 8 --
salts by precipitating the respective tetrafluoroborate
salts which are thereafter slurried in water and treated
with aqueous potassium iodide to give the iodobenzophenone.
These reactions are carried out utilizing methods known in
the art.
IIIa ~ IIIb
The compound of formula IIIa can be reacted with
methanesulfonyl chloride in the presence of a tertiary
amine, such as, triethylamine, and in the presence of an
organic solvent, such as, a halogenated hydrocarbon, e.g.,
methylene chloride or toluene or diethyl ether. The reaction
can be run between about -78 C and room temperature with
about 0 C as preferred. Compounds corresponding to those
of formula IIIb but which contain a suitable leaving group
other than mesyloxy can also be prepared starting from
compounds of formula IIIa by methods known per se, e.g.,
by means of toluenesulfonyl chloride, thionyl chloride,
phosphorus tribromide and the like.
IIIb ~ IIa ---~Ia
The compound of formula IIIb or an analog thereof
containing a suitable leaving group other than mesyloxy
is reacted with hydroxylamine. This is conveniently
effected in a Cl to C4 alcohol solvent at a reaction tem-
perature of from about 0 C to room temperature, with
~128937
about room temperature as preferred. The isolated inter-
mediate compound IIa can thereafter be reacted with a
mercuric salt, such as the sulfate, chloride, acetate,
trifluoroacetate, a sulfonate (including salts with sul-
fonic acid groups containing ion exchangers) in the presenceof an acid such as carboxylic acids or dilute or concen-
trated mineral acid and expediently in the presence of an
inert organic solvent. Thus, the compound of formula IIa
can be reacted with a mixture of mercuric sulfate and a
Cl to C5 carboxylic acid, e.g., formic or acetic acid in
an inert solvent, such as, a halogenated hydrocarbon, e.g.,
methylene chloride. The reaction temperature ranges from
about -10 C to room temperature with about 0 C to 5 C
as preferred. Alternatively, the compound of formula IIa can
be treated with a strong acid in the presence of water,
e.g., with concentrated sulfuric acid at from about -10 C
to room temperature with about 0 C being preferred.
Ia ~ V
The compound of formula Ia can then be reacted with
dimethylformamide dimethylacetal in an inert solvent, such
; as, a halogenated hydrocarbon, e.g., methylene chloride,
or dimethylformamide or high boiling ethers. The reaction
temperature may range from about 0 C to 100 C with room
temperature as preferred.

IV ~IIb
The compound of formula IV can be reacted with
propargyl phthalimide in the presence of palladium chloride,
cuprous iodide, an organophosphine, e.g., triphenylphosphine
and a secondary amine, such as, diethylamine or diisopropyl-
amine. The solvents and reaction conditions are as
previously disclosed for step IV ~IIIa. Compounds
corresponding to those of formula IIb but which contain a
suitable protected amino group other than phthalimido can
also be prepared in a similar manner starting from compounds
- of formula IV by means of e.g. N-carbobenzoxy propargylamine
or corresponding N-formyl, N-tert.butoxycarbonyl, N-acetyl or
N-trifluoroacetyl compounds.
IIb ) VI
The compound of formula IIb or an analog thereof
: containing a suitable protected amino group other than
phthalimido can then be subjected to reaction conditions
as described for step IIa ~ Ia, above. Thus it can be reacted
with a mixture of mercuric sulfate and a Cl to C5 carboxylic
acid, e.g., formic or acetic acid, in the presence of a
halogenated hydrocarbon solvent, e.g., methylene chloride,
or an inert ether. The reaction temperature may range from
about o C to room temperature with about 0 C as preferred.

Alternatively, the compound of formula IIb or an analog
thereof containing a suitable protected amino group other
than phthalimido can be treated with concentrated sulfuric
acid at from about -10 C to room temperature with about
0 C being preferred. The compounds of formula VI and
analogs thereof containing a suitable protected amino group
other than phthalimido also form part of the present invent-
ion. They are useful as intermediates in the production
of 2-benzazepines, compounds of pharmacological activity.
VI ~ Ib
In order to obtain a compound of formula Ib, the
protecting group is split off from a compound of formula VI
or an analog thereof containing a suitable protected amino
group other than phthalimido.
A compound of formula VI is expediently reacted
; with a primary alkyl amine, e.g., methyl or ethylamine in
a Cl to C4 alcohol solvent. The reaction temperature may
range from about 0 C to room temperature with room
- temperature as preferred.
An alternate method to produce the compound of -
formula Ib consists of the reaction of the compound of
formula VI with hydrazine in an inert solvent, such as,
ethanol, a mixture of ethanol and chloroform, tetrahydro-
furan or aqùeous ethanol. The reaction temperature may
vary from about room temperature to about 100 C with
reflux temperature of the selected solvent as preferred.
The product is extracted with dilute mineral acid and
thereafter recovered by neutralization.
Z8937
- 12 -
A third method which may be utilized to produce
the compound of formula Ib consists of an acid or base
hydrolysis of the compound of formula VI. For an acid
hydrolysis, a 30% solution of a mineral acid, such as,
hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric or phosphoric acid may
be utilized. The reaction is run at or about reflux tempera-
ture. For a base hydrolysis, an alkali metal hydroxide,
such as, potassium or sodium hydroxide is utilized.
Inert organic solvents, such as those set forth above may
be utilized to solubilize the ingredients. The reaction
is run at or above reflux temperature of the selected
solvent.
Methods for splitting off the protecting group from
compounds corresponding to those of formula VI but contain-
ing a suitable protected amino group other than phthalimidoare readily available to those skilled in the art.
Scheme 3
IIb ~IIc
In order to obtain a compound of formula IIc, the
protecting group is split off from a compound of formula IIb
or an analog thereof containing a suitable protected amino
group other than phthalimido under conditions as described
for step VI ~ Ib, above. Thus, a compound of formula IIb
can be reacted with a primary alkyl amine, e.g., methyl
or ethylamine in a water miscible solvent, such as, Cl to
C4 alcohols or ethers or dimethylformamide. The reaction
l~Z8937
- 13 -
temperature may range from about 0 C to 60 C with about
room temperature as preferred.
- IIc ~Ib
The compound of formula IIc can then be subjected
to reaction conditions as described for step IIa --~Ia,
above. Thus, it may be reacted with a mixture of mercuric
sulfate and a C1 to C5 carboxylic acid in the presence of
a halogenated hydrocarbon solvent or may be reacted with
concentrated sulfuric acid at from about -10 C to room
temperature with about 0 C as preferred.
Ib ~ Ia and VII
The compound of formula Ib can be reacted with a
peracid, such as, metachloroperbenzoic acid in an inert
organic solvent such as a halogenated hydrocarbon, e.g.,
methylene chloride or an ether. The reaction may be carried
out from about 0 C to 40 C with about room temperature
as preferred. The mixture of products may thereafter be
separated from one another by fractional crystallization.
Analysis by thin-layer chromatography indicates the
presence o both products.
1128g37
- 14 -
In the above scheme it should be noted that where
the term "lower alkyl" or "alkyl" is utilized, there is
meant a Cl to C7 (Cl to C4 preferred) straight or branched
aliphatic hydrocarbon chain.
The compound of formula Ib is a known intermediate
in the art and is useful in the produc~ion of various
benzazepines which are compounds of pharmacological
utility, i.e., as anxiolytics, see, for example,
U.S. Patents Nos. 4.028.381; 4.022.800 and 4.022.801.
- 10 The present process to produce Ib offers an advantage over
the prior art in that it involves fewer steps, is cheaper
and affords better yields. In a similar way as the compounds
of formula Ia, also the compounds of formula Ib can be
reacted with dimethylformamide dimethylacetal as described
for step Ia ~V.
The compound of formula V which can be prepared from
the compound of formula Ia is also a useful intermediate
for the production of 2-benzazepines, e.g., pyrimido-2-
benzazepines of the formula
