DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention encompasses the novel pyrido-
benzodiazepines and methanone in-termediates as set forth herein
i.n formulas I and II as compositions of matter and utilization
of these compounds as antidepressants or as intermediates in
the preparation of other antidepressants.
Description of Compound Preparation. Reaction
sequence by equation for the preparation of the compounds of the
invention is given in Chart 1. Alternate procedures for prepar-
ation of certain compounds of formula I are given by equation
in Charts 2, 3 and 4.
Methanones~ Formula II, See Chart 1. The methanone
intermediates are prepared by heatiny a mixture of the halo-

- 7e -
amino pyridine and an aminobenzophenone for a shorter period
of time than that required for cyclization to the pyridobenzod-
iazepine as indicated by chemical ionization mass spec. analysis.
For the [2-[(3-amino-2-pyrldinyl)amino phenylmethanones, the
conditions required are about 1 to
,.,, -, j

395
1.5 hr at 170-200 C. The methanones may be i~olated as the
predominant product5 if desired, by cooling and ~dding a
suitable organic solvent ~uch as, for example, methylene
chloride which will dissolve unreacted starting materials
and some cyclized compound ~Ia) followed by usual methods
of isolating such as par~itioning betwPen the ~olvent and
aqueous base or methanolic a~ueous base followed by washing,
drying, evaporating the solvent layer and recrys~alliæing
from a suitable ~olvent.
Unsubstituted Pyridobenzodiazepines, Formulas Ia and
Ia-l (R=H), S~e Chart 1. The purified II compounds or
crude II compounds may be further heated in an aprotic
solvent to cyclize to compounds of Formula Ia, removing
water from the reaction mixture hy conventional means' for
example, under reflux using a Dean-Stark water trap.
However~ it is not necessary to stop heating at the inter-
mediate stage; generally, it i5 sufficient to continue
heating of the original reaction mixture; i.e., III f IV,
for a longer period of time during which ~ycliza~ion to
Ia occurs. In the cyclization stage, whichever alternative
is u~ed, the temperature time relationship will vary to some
extent depending on the reactants used, it being only
neces~ary to heat fox a time suffici~nt to produce the
product desirea as indicated by chemical ionizati~n mass
spec. The unsubstituted pyridobenzodiazepines are purified
by partitioning between a suitable solvent such as methylene
~hloride and aqueous base, washing and drying the solvent
layer$ evaporating and chromatographing in a sui~able s~lvent
system such as acetone-benzene. The corresponding dihydro-
diazepine may b~ prepared by reduction with sodium boro-
cyanohydrin.
Substituted Pyridobenzodiazepines. F~rmul~s Ib and
Ib ( R=loweralkyl ), See Chart 1. Compounds o~ Formu.la la
(or I~-l) wherein R i~ hydrogen are alkylaminated or
~5 radicals are introduced which will l~ad to al~ylamination
by reacting first with sodium hydride and then with an
appropriat2 reagent represent~d by halo-alklQ w~erein'~lkl"
has the mPaning as defined above and Q is as de~ined in

395
Chart 1. The compounds suspended in a s~itable solvent
such as dLmethyl formamide ar~ added to a ~tirred suspension
of sodium hydride in the same solvent. T~e halo-alkl-Q
reagent (alkylaminating agent or agent leading to alkyl-
amination) is added at abou~ room temperature and thereaction mixture is stirred for a period of time until
reaction is complete as, for example, determinecl by thin
layer chromatography. The unr~acted ~odium hydride is
d~composed by adding to water and the product i5 extracted
with a suitable solvent ~uch a~ methylene chloride followed
by aqueous acid extraction of the solvent layer and isolating
the product from the aqueous lay~r by neutralization and
re-extraction with methylene chloride followed by evaporation
and precipitating, preferably as an addition salt such as
fumarate, hydrochloridQ, oxalate, malea~e and the like.
Generally, once having obtained and purified an acid addition
salt, the free base may be regenerated by partitioning the
salt between an aqueous base and a suitable solvent such as
methylene chloride and evaporating the methylene chloride
layer. The corresponding dihydrodiazepines may be prepared
by reduction ~ith sodium borocyanohydrin. Alternat~lyg
compounds of Formulas Ib wherein Q is halo may be cQnverted
to compounds wherein Q is -N~(loweralkyl)2 by reacting with
an appropriate dialkyl~mine as given in the reaction
sequenc~ of Chart 2.
The primary amines of Formula Ic; i.e., Rl and R2 are
both hydrogen, are prepared from the -alkl-~t(1-phthalimido)
derivatives, as shown in Chart 1, by reacting with hydra~ine
hydrat~, utilizing the method of Org. Syn. Coll. Vol. III,
pp 151-153. Generally, about 2-3 hr reflux time is
sufficient after ~ich aqueous acid is added and the mixture
is filtered. The primary ~-alkl-amines are isolated rom
suitable solvents such as isopropyl alcohol. Flydrochlorides
and hydrochloride hydrates are prefexred 3alts in the
isolation step. The correspondiny dihydrodiazepines may
be obtained by reduction with ~odium borocyanohyclrin.

~95
~3~3
The -alk -~-monoalkylamines (Formula Ie); eOg.,
Rl=methyl~ R2=hydrogen, may be prepared as 6hown in Chart l
by reacting the primary -alk~ derivatives Ic or Ic-l
with refluxing triethyl orthoformate for a period of time
~ufficient to form the methanimidic acid ester (I d) which
is then reacted with sodium borohydride. I~e unreacted
borohydride is decomposed with water and the product
extracted out with a sui~able solvent ~uch as ethyl acetate
and may be purified by column chromatography and partitioning
with basic solvent. ~ydrochlorides are preferred salts in
the isolation step. The method is more fully exemplified in
Examples 27 and 28. The corresponding dihydrob~nzodiaz~pines
may then ~e prepared by reduc~ ion with sodium-borocyanohyd~ in .
-Alk~ monomethylamines may also be pr~pared by
reaction of the primary amine with ethyl chloroformate as
in Example 29J and thereafter reducing with lithium aluminum
hydride as exemplified in Chart 3.
A further more generalized alternative for introduction
of -alkl ~-monoloweralkyl amine radicals is via the radical:
~r.. ~ -alkl-N-c~o~loweralkyl- See chart ~.

All formulas Ia, Ia-l, Ib, Ib-l, Ib-2, Ib-~, Ib-49 Ic,
Ic-l, Ic-2, Id, Ie, Ie-l are encompassed by Formula Io
Compounds of Formula I wherein the ~NRlR2 moiety is
unsubstituted l~piperazinyl are obtained by hydrolyzing a
compound of Formula I wherein -NRlR2 is piperazino substi-
tuted in the 4-positicn by an alkyl carbonyl such as
t-butoxycarbonyl.

SUPPLE~ENTARY DISCLOSURE
The present invention further relates -to novel [2-[(a~inopyridinyl)
amino]phenyl]arylmethanones or their analogs which form in the reaction mix-
ture prior to cycli~ation to dia~pines and certain of which have additional
utility as antidepressan-ts for -treating depression. They are represented hy
the formula:

R
wherein B is selected from carbonyl, thiomethyl, ke-tal or thio-
ketal,
R is selected from the group consis-ti:ng oE hydrogen, lower alkyl,
-alk --NR R or -alk -N = CH-OC2H5, and Ar, Z and Y are as defined under
formula I above, with the proviso that when B is carbonyl, R is no~ hydrogen.
The thioxomethyl, keta3. or thioke-tal analogs of formula II' can be
in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt with an acid
which is physiologically compatible in warm blooded ~n;~l.s.
Compound~s of the invention encompassed by formula II' which have
antidepressant activity in the foregoing procedure have the formula II'p

R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, loweralkyl or

R and R are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, lower-
alkyl, -C(0)0-loweralkyl or R and R2 taken together with the adjacent nitrogen
atom may form a heterocyclic residue selec-ted from the group consisting oE
l-piperidinyl, l-phthalimido, l-pyrrolidinyl, 4-morpholinyl, and l-piperazinyl;
B is selected from carbonyl or thloxome-thyli
Ar, Z and Y are as defined under forrnula I and III above, and the
pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof,
with the proviso that when B is carbonyl, R is no-t hydrogen,
The compounds of Formula II' wherein R moiety carries a phthalimido,
chloro, carbamoyl or imidate component are chemical intermediate rather than
antidepressant aqents, and compounds of formula II' wherein B is ketal or
thioketal are also chemical intermediates rather than antidepressants.
Reaction sequence by equation for the preparation of the compounds
of Formula II~ and for the use thereof as intermediates is given in Chart 1'~
Alternate procedures for preparat~on of certain oE the compounds are given by
equation in Ch.arts 5 and 6.
The methanones or their analogs are prepared by heating a mixture
of the halo~amino pyridine and an Am~-nohPn~ophenone (or analog) for a shorter
period of tlme than that required for cyclization to the pyridobenzodiazepine
as lndtcated by chemical ionization mass spec. analys-is ~see Chart 1'). The
methanones and analogs may be isolated as the prerlnmin~nt product, if desired,
by cooling and adding a suitable organlc solvent such as, for example, methyl-
ene chloride which ~ill dissol~e unreacted s*ar-ting materials and some
cycllzed compound (Ia') followed by usual methods of isolating such as
partitionlng between the solvent and aqueous base or methanolic aqueous base
followed by washing, drying, evaporating the solvent layer and recrystalliz;.ng
from a sui:table solventO
Compounds of Formula II' wherein R i5 hydrogen may be alkylaminated
by reaction with sodium hydride and an appropriate reagent represented by
halo-alk -NR R wherein "alk " has the meaning as defined above with -the pro-
~iso that ~oth ~ and ~2 are not hydrogen. See Chart 5 for the equa-tion.
~ s

The addition and subsequent removal of blocking agent on the NH2 radical on
the pyridine ring is anticipated as a means of improving yields. These
compounds may then be cyclized to the pyrido[l,4~benzodiazepines.
Compounds of ~ormula II' wherein B ls carbonyl may be prepared by
hydrolysing the appropriate pyrldo[1,4]benzodiazepines with cold concentrated
hydrochloric acid. See Chart 6 for the equation.
