Scheme 1.

N-protected piperazines can also be coupled to the intermediate indolobenzazepine acids and the resultant piperazine carboxamides can be deprotected using methods known in the art and derivatized using a variety of synthetic protocols, some illustrative examples of which are shown below (See Scheme 2).

Scheme 2.

An intermediate useful for the synthesis of some compounds of the invention involves the preparation of the tert-butyl ester indolobenzazepine shown in Scheme 3. Scheme 3.

t-Butylation either:

This methodology involves base catalyzed hydrolysis of the indole methyl ester shown, followed by its reaction with either thionyl chloride and potassium tertiary butoxide, or alkylation with silver carbonate and tertiary butyl bromides. The resultant compound can be transformed using chemistry analogous to that outlined previously to provide the mixed ester indolobenzazepines shown above.

Scheme 4.

Some examples exist as stereoisomeric mixtures. The invention encompasses all stereoisomers of the compounds. Methods of fractionating stereoisomeric mixtures are well known in the art, and include but are not limited to; preparative chiral supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) and chiral high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). An example using this approach is shown in scheme 5. Scheme 5.

An additional method to achieve such separations involves the preparation of mixtures of diastereomers which can be separated using a variety of methods known in the art. One example of this approach is shown below (Scheme 6).

Scheme 6.

Diastereomers separated by reverse phase HPLC

Some diastereomeric amides can be separated using reverse phase HPLC. After hydroysis, the resultant optically active acids can be coupled with bridged piperazine derivatives (Scheme 6). For example, O-(lH-benzotriazol-l-yl)-N,N, N’,N’-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate and diisopropyl ethyl amine in DMSO can be used to give the alkyl bridged piperazine carboxamides. Other standard acid amine coupling methods can also be used to give optically active carboxamides.

Schemes 7-9 illustrate other methods of making intermediates and compounds.

To a mixture of (-) cycloprop[<i]indolo[2,l-α][2]benzazepine-la(2H)-carboxylic acid, 8-cyclohexyl-5- [[[(dimethylamino)sulfonyl]amino]carbonyl]-l,12b-dihydro-l 1-methoxy- (25.2 g, 45.68 mmol) and 3-methyl-3,8-diazabicyclo-[3.2.1]octane dihydrochloride (10.0 g, 50.22 mmol) in anhydrous MeCN (300 mL) was added DIPEA (23.62 g, 182.72 mmol) under N₂. After 15 min, TBTU (16.12 g, 50.22 mmol) was added. The reaction solution was stirred for 30 min under N₂. The ΗPLC indicated the disappearance of starting material. The solvent in the solution was evaporated to give a foam. This was dissolved in EtOAc (2.5 L), washed with H₂O (1.5 L), H₂O/brine (8:2) (1.5 L), brine (1.5 L), dried over Na₂SO₄ and evaporated to give 28.8 g of crude product. This solid was pooled with 45.4 g of material obtained from five separated reactions to afford a total of 74.2 g of crude product. This was passed through a pad of silica gel (E. Merck 230-400 mesh, 1 kg), eluting with MeOH/CH₂Cl₂ (2.5:97.5). After evaporation, it gave a foam, which was treated with EtOAc and hexane to turn into a solid. After drying at 50 °C under vacuum for 7 h, the GC analysis indicated it has 1.4% each of EtOAc and hexane. After further drying at 61-64 °C, the GC analysis indicated it still has 1.0% of hexane and 1.4% of EtOAc. The product was dissolved in Et₂O and slowly evaporated in vacuum three times, dried at 60 °C under vacuum for 3 h to give 68.3 g. This was washed with H₂O (900 mL) and redried at 68 °C under vacuum for 7 h to give 67.1 g (77% yield) of the compound of example 6. The GC analysis indicated it has 0.97% Of Et₂O.
