Fenozolone - a different stimulant
« on: March 24, 2002, 10:57:00 PM »
Here is a new one, well its an old one but new to the Hive.
Its an analog of pemoline.

Other names: Fenozolone; Phenozolone; LD 3394;
2-Oxazolin-4-one,  Ordinator;
2-(Ethylamino)-4-oxo-5-phenyl-D2-oxazoline; 2-(Ethylamino)-4-oxo-5-phenyl-2-oxazoline; 2-(Ethylamino)-5-phenyl-2-oxazolin-4-one; 5-Phenyl-2-(ethylimino)-4-oxazolidone; 5-Phenyl-2-ethylamino-4-oxazolinone; 


Appetite depressant 2-ethylamino-5-phenyloxazolin-4-one.
(Laboratoires Dausse S. A.).    Ger.  (1969)
DE  1297108  (6-12-1969)

Abstract
The title compd. (I) is prepd. by cyclization of N-ethyl-N'-(a- phenyl-a-chloroacetyl)urea (II) in the presence of NaOEt as an HCl acceptor.  II itself is prepd. from EtNHCONH2 and PhCHClCOCl.  Thus, a stirred suspension of 17.6 g. EtNHCONH2 in 150 cc. dry C6H6 was treated dropwise (20 min.) with a soln. of 18.9 g. PhCHClCOCl in 100 cc. C6H6, the mixt. kept 15 min. at room temp., then refluxed 5 hrs., and the solvent evapd. to yield 19.6 g. II, m. 146° (C6H6).  A suspension of 165.8 g. II in 900 cc. abs. EtOH was treated with a soln. of 15.8 g. Na in 900 cc. EtOH, the mixt. refluxed 2 hrs., kept overnight at room temp., the ppt. sepd., the filtrate evapd., and the residue triturated with ice-H2O to yield 87% I, m. 148° (C6H6).  I is an appetite depressant, and has a higher therapeutic index than the 2-methylamino analog. 


Here is something else interesting.

The stimulating activity of three higher homologs of 5-phenyl-2-amino-4-oxazolinone [on the central nervous system].

Abstract
Substitution of a straight-chain C1-3 alkyl group on the 2-amino group of 5-phenyl-2-amino-4-oxazolinone increases its central exciting properties.


So that means these are more centrally exciteing than pemoline!  Worthwhile, who knows... maybee

5-phenyl-2-ethylamino-4-oxazolinone and its preparation

Patent GB963375



Abstract
------------------------------------------------------------
The invention comprises 5-phenyl -2- ethylamino -4- oxazolinone, its preparation by heating an N1-ethyl-N11-(a -phenyl -a - haloacetyl) urea in the presence of a hydrogen halide binding agent, and pharmaceutical preparations containing it. The starting materials are prepared by condensing N-ethylurea with an a -phenyl -a - haloacetyl halide. The compound of the invention may be used as a psychotonic, an "anti-fatigue" agent or an anorexigenic, and may be administered in the form of pharmaceutical preparations (e.g. tablets) containing it together with a diluent.

A new prepn. for 5-phenyl-2-methylamino-4-oxazolinone (I) was developed, and 7 new similar compds. were prepd. EtONa, made from 3.75 g. Na in 250 ml. EtOH, was added to a suspension of 37 g. 1-methyl-3-(a-phenyl-a-chloroacetyl)urea in 250 ml. anhyd. EtOH.  The mixt. refluxed 2 hrs. was left overnight at room temp.  The pptd. NaCl was suction-filtered off and washed well with EtOH.  EtOH of the combined filtrates was evapd. on the H2O bath.  The oily residue was triturated in 200 ml. iced H2O, and then kept at 0° several hrs.  It was then suction filtered off, H2O washed, and vacuum dried over P2O5. 1(27 g.), yield 87%, recrystd. from 230 ml. anhyd. C6H6 gave a cryst. powder, m. 123°.  Similarly prepd. were: 5-phenyl-2-ethylamino-4-oxazolinone (II), m. 148°; 5-phenyl-2-propylamino-4-oxazolinone (III), m. 107°, yield 96%; 5-phenyl-2-isopropylamino-4-oxazolinone (IV), m. 170°, yield 70%; 5phenyl-2-butylamino-4-oxazolinone, m. 105°, yield 80%; 5-phenyl-2-benzylamino-4-oxazolinone, m. 186%, yield 69%; 5-phenyl-2-phenylisopropylamino-4-oxazolinone, m. 167-8°, yield 69.5%; and 5-phenyl-2-isoamylamino-4-oxazolinone, m. 109°, yield 64.5%.  The above compds. were stable in alk. but unstable in acidic soln.  The L.D.50 of I, II, and III on white mice, Kaerber and Behrens method, was 0.225-0.175 g./kg., 0.425-0.175 g./kg., and 0.5250.250 g./kg., resp.  They were used as psychotonics and antifatigue drugs. II, III, and IV were used in anorexigenic treatment.  L.D.50 of IV was 0.4-0.575 g./kg.

Synthesis of some 2-imino-4-oxazolidinones. VI. 5-Phenyl-2-cycloalkylamino-4-oxazolinones.    
Najer, Henry; Giudieelli, Rene; Menin, Jacques.  
Bull. Soc. Chim. France  (1963),   (8-9),  1810-13.

Abstract
cf. CA 59, 589b.  PhCHClCOCl (I) condensed with a cycloalkylurea gave N-cycloalkyl-N°-(a-phenyl-a-chloroacetyl)ureas, which cyclized in the presence of Na alcoholate to 5-phenyl-2-cycloalkylamino-4-oxazolines (II).  The ultraviolet and infrared spectra of the II showed that the amino form predominates in the existing amino-imino tautomer equil. II (n = 1) (III) is a much more active central nervous system stimulant than the most active 5-phenyl-5-alkylamino-4-oxazolinones.  This activity disappears completely as soon as the cycloalkyl group contains more than 3 C atoms; it depends, therefore, partly on the no. of C atoms in the N-substituent and partly on its aliphatic or alicyclic character.  Cyclopropylurea (17.6 g.), m. 124-5°, 21.3 g. Me2NPh, and 310 cc. dry C6H6 treated during 45 min. with stirring with 33.3 g. I in 130 cc. dry C5H6, kept 1 hr. at room temp., refluxed 5 hrs., cooled, and evapd., and the residual oil triturated 3 times with Et2O and then with 250 cc. H2O gave 24.7 g. N-cyclopropyl-N°-(a-phenyl-a-chloroacetyl)urea (IV), m. 134-5° (1:4 EtOH-hexane).  Similarly prepd. were the following analogs of IV (N-substituent, % yield, and m.p., and m.p. of N-substituted urea used as starting material given): cyclobutyl, 55, 130-1, 173-4.degree.; cyclopentyl, 56, 133, 198-200°; cyclohexyl, 55, 160-1°, 200-2°; CH2CN2CH2, -, 84°, 149°; all recrystd. from EtOH.  IV 16.6 g.) and 1.5 g. Na in 330 cc. abs. EtOH refluxed 2 hrs., filtered, and evapd., and the gummy residue triturated with 150 cc. H2O yielded 11.4 g. III, m. 139-40° (1:4 EtOH-hexane).  Similarly prepd. were the following II (n, % yield, and m.p. given): 2, 61, 155-6°; 3, 50, 159-60°; 4, 70, 178 80°; all recrystd. from EtOH.  5-Phenyl-2-allylamino-4-oxazolinone, m. 123-4.degree., 50%, was prepd. in the same manner. 


5-Aryl-2-cycloalkylamino-4-oxazolinones.

Patent NL6613484

  (It has the deatails)

Abstract
The title compds. of the formula I (R = Ph or p-C6H4Cl and R1 = H or Me) were prepd. by treating p-ClC6H4CHClCO2Cl (II) or PhCHClCO2Cl (III) with cyclopropylurea (IV) or N-cyclopropyl-N-methylurea (V) and treating the product (VI) with Na alcoholate.  I are useful in prepg. psychostimulant, anorexigenic, or sedative compns.  Thus, 39 g. II in 130 cc. C6H6 was added through a dropping funnel over 45 min. to a mixt. of 17.6 g. IV, 21.3 g.  PhNMe2, and 310 ml. C6H6, after 1 hr., the mixt. refluxed 5 hrs., the oily residue poured out, the C6H6 distd., the residue washed 3 times in 100 ml. Et2O, and the Et2O evapd. in vacuo to yield 28.6 g. N-cyclopropyl-N'-[a-(p-chlorophenyl)-a-chloroacetyl]urea (VII), m. 132° (H2O).  VII (28.7 g.) was dissolved in a soln. of 2.3 g. Na in 500 ml. EtOH, the soln. refluxed 2 hrs., and NaCl and alc. removed to give 18 g. I (R = p-C6H4Cl, R1 = H), m. 211°.  I (R = Ph, R1 = Me) was also prepd. by treating V with III to yield N-cyclopropyl-N-methyl-N'-(a-phenyl-a-chloroacetyl)urea (VIII), and treating VIII with Na alcoholate.  I had strong stimulant effects on the central nervous system, a strong anorexigenic activity, and negligible cardiovascular activity.


Tautomerism of 5-phenyl-2-alkyl(or aralkyl)imino-4- oxazolidones with 5-phenyl-2-alkyl(or aralkyl)amino-4-oxazolinones.    
Najer, Henry; Giudicelli, Rene; Menin, Jacques; Loiseau, Jacques.   
Compt. Rend.  (1962),  254  2173-5. 

Abstract
cf. CA 55, 27268i.  Refluxing PhClCHCOCl over (MeNH)2CO in C6H6, with Et3N present, gave H.  Heating Me2NH with 2-imino-5-phenyl-4-oxazolidinone in EtOH in a sealed tube at 120° gave III.  Unexpectedly, III proved to be a central nervous system stimulant, as were I but II was not.  Comparison of the ultraviolet and infrared spectra confirmed the suspicion that I exist predominantly in the tautomeric aminooxazolinone (IV) forms.  In alcohol, the l and log e, resp., are: II, 209, 4.24; III, 228, 4.43.  The series IV: (R .dbd. Me), 221, 4.48; (R .dbd. Et), 221, 4.42; (R .dbd. Pr), 222, 4.46; (R .dbd. iso-Pr), 221, 4.44; (R .dbd. Bu), 223, 4.34; (R .dbd. Bz), 225, 4.48; (R .dbd. phenylisopropyl), 225 mm, 4.46.  The infrared comparisons, limited to the bands of valence vibrations of CO and C: N bonds, assign conjugated double bonds to the tautomers for which these frequencies are lowered (Bellamy, The Infrared Spectra of Complex Molecules, 1954 (CA 48, 12562c)).  Found for CO, C:N, resp.: II, 1765, 1700; III, 1730, 1630 cm.-1.  The same decrease (CO, 1720-1745 and C:N, 1645-1680 cm.-1) is noted on comparison of the infrared spectra of IV with that of II.

5-Phenyl-2-cyclopropylamino-4-oxazolinone(I) and 5-phenyl-2-(N-cyclopropyl-N-methylamino)-4-oxazolinone(II)  are both very potent.

I is approximately equal in strength to dl-amphetamine except it has a larger safe therapeutic safety window.

II had equal stimulateing properties to d-amphetamine and is longer lasting.  Its is less toxic orally and has only a very slight cardio-vascular effect in the cat or dog in doses up to 5 mg/kg administered parenterally(thats quite high doses).


Who knows what the other risks are for these compounds, mentally and physically.  They seem like VERY interesting canidates for experimentation.  Several recent patents have mentioned the n-ethyl analog, which leads me to believe that serious toxicity issues have yet to bee found.  Wonder what the substituted analogs are like? ie. methylenedioxy, trimethoxy, 4-Br-2,5-dimethoxy  ect ect

Who's going to bee the Shulgin of oxazolinone's???
