Alkylation of derivatives of 4-aryl-1-naphthols (I-V) by 2,3-epoxypropyl chloride in methanolic sodium hydroxide gave epoxy derivatives VI, VIII, IX, XI and XII, apart from products of cleavage of the oxirane ring, VII and X. Analogous alkylation of compounds I, IV and V by 2-(N,N-diethylamino)ethyl chloride hydrochloride in a two-phase medium afforded basic ethers XIII to XV. The cleavage of the oxirane ring in compound VI by the action of primary and secondary amines, piperidine and substituted piperazines led to compounds XVI-XXIV. Reaction of thionyl chloride with compounds XXI, XXII and XXIV gave chloro derivatives XXV-XXVII.Exposure of compound XXII to 4-methylbenzenesulfonyl chloride produced compound XXVIII, retaining the secondary alcoholic group. In an antineoplastic screening in vivo none of the compounds prepared had an appreciable activity. Compound XVII, being an analogue of propranolol, was used in the test of isoproterenolic tachycardia, and showed a beta-lytic effect comparable with that of propranol.
对4-芳基-1-萘酚衍生物(I-V)进行甲醇氢氧化钠中2,3-环氧丙基氯烷基化,得到环氧衍生物VI、VIII、IX、XI和XII,除了环氧环裂解产物VII和X。类似地,通过在两相介质中使用2-(N,N-二乙基氨基)乙基氯化氢盐对化合物I、IV和V进行烷基化,得到碱性醚类化合物XIII至XV。通过使用一级和二级胺,哌啶和取代哌嗪对化合物VI中环氧环的裂解,得到化合物XVI-XXIV。将氯化硫酰与化合物XXI、XXII和XXIV反应,得到氯代衍生物XXV-XXVII。将化合物XXII暴露于对甲苯磺酰氯中,产生保留了次级醇基团的化合物XXVIII。在体内抗肿瘤筛选中,所制备的化合物均无明显活性。作为普萘洛尔的类似物,化合物XVII被用于异丙肾上腺素性心动过速的测试,并显示出与普萘洛尔相当的β-溶解效应。
