- BENZAMIDINE DERIVATIVES SUBSTITUTED BY AMINO ACID AND HYDROXY ACID DERIVATIVES AND THEIR USE AS ANTI-COAGULANTS
-
This invention is directed to benzamidine derivatives substituted by amino acid and hydroxy acid derivatives which are useful as anti-coagulants. This invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds of the invention, and methods of using the compounds to treat disease-states characterized by thrombotic activity.

- α-ALKYLTRYPTOPHANS
-
A study of three direct methods for the synthesis of α-alkyl α-amino acids has been applied to the preparation of α-alkyltryptophan esters. Reaction of Nb-benzylidene-L-tryptophan methyl esters 3 with tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate and methyl or ethyl iodide (phase-transfer method) gives α-methyl and α-ethyltryptophan methyl esters 6a,b in poor yield with complete racemization. Reaction of L-tryptophan 1 with dimethylformamide dimethyl or diethyl acetal followed by treatment of 8a,b with LDA amd methyl iodide (Fitt and Gschwend method) gives rise to the formation of α,Na-dimethyl-Nb-dimethylaminomethylenetryptophan methyl or ethyl esters hydriodide 9a,b. Treatment of 9a or 9b with aqueous acid, under mild conditions, fails to hydrolyze the imine functionality. Reaction of 3 with LDA and methyl or ethyl iodide (Bey and Vevert method) followed by hydrolysis provides α-methyl and α-ethyltryptophan methyl esters 6a,b. By carrying out this procedure with isopropyl, benzyl and allyl iodide or bromide the corresponding α-alkyl esters are not obtained.
