Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     This invention relates to new 1,4-oxazinone derivatives. More particularly, it relates to derivatives of 3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-1,4-oxazin-2-one. These derivatives, when tested, were found to have antimicrobial activity against N. gonorrehoeae or anti-inflammatory activity against carrageenan-induced edema in a laboratory animal model. 
     STATEMENT OF THE INVENTION 
     Accordingly, this invention is a 1,4-oxazinone derivative of the formula ##STR2## wherein one of R and R 1  is hydrogen and the other represents the group --CH 2  CO 2  R 6  or together R and R 1  represent the group ═CHCO 2  R 6  where R 6  is alkyl, one of R 2  and R 3  is hydrogen and the other is alkyl, substituted alkyl, phenyl or substituted phenyl or R 2  and R 3  together represent a single adamantyl group, and R 4  and R 5  are hydrogen, alkyl, substituted alkyl, phenyl or substituted phenyl, or benzyl. 
     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION 
     The compounds of this invention are 3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-1,4-oxazin-2-one derivatives wherein the substituent groups, as shown in the above structural formula, are designated R through R 5 . 
     It is preferred that R and R 1  represent the group ═CHCO 2  R 6  is a lower alkyl radical (C 1  -C 8 ) but one of R and R 1  may also be hydrogen while the other must then be --CH 2  CO 2  R 6 . R 6  may have up to 30 carbons, but preferably less than four carbons. 
     The alkyl radicals of R 2  and R 3  have up to thirty carbon atoms, preferably up to eight and more preferably less than four carbon atoms. The alkyl portion of the substituted alkyl radicals of R 2  and R 3  also has up to 30 carbon atoms, but preferably less than four. The substituents of these alkyl radicals are, for example, hydroxy, and alkanoyloxy groups. Alternatively, R 2  and R 3  together represent a single adamantyl group. In particular, R 2  and R 3  represent the adamantyl substituent of a compound of the following formula: ##STR3## 
     The aromatic radicals which are represented by R 2-5  are, for example, phenyl and benzyl. 
     R 4  and R 5  are preferably hydrogen, alkyl radicals having less than four carbon atoms that may be substituted with a hydroxyl group, or a benzyl group. 
     The above mentioned alkyl radicals for R through R 6  are either straight or branched chained. Examples of these include methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, isobutyl, butyl, pentyl, isopentyl, hexyl, octyl, isooctyl, decyl, dodecyl, octadecyl, eicosanoyl, tricosanoyl, hexacosanoyl, triacontanoyl and the like. In general, the 1,4-oxazinones of this invention may be prepared by reacting a dialkyl (C 1  -C 8 ) acetylenedicarboxylate with a compound having both amino and hydroxy substituent groups which will condense with the acetylene compound to form the corresponding 1,4-oxazinone derivative. The aminoalcohol reactant is preferably dissolved in a suitable inert organic solvent, for example, a lower alkanol, ether, alkyl acetate, alkane or mixtures of these. The reaction is usually carried out with reactants employed in equimolar amounts, at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure but may be run at temperatures ranging from about 15° to 80° C. 
     EXAMPLES 
     The following examples are used to show the preparation of representative compounds of this invention. 
    
    
     EXAMPLE 1 
     3-(Methoxycarbonyl)methylene-spiro[3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-1,4-oxazin-2-one-6,2&#39;-tricyclo[3.3.1.1 3 ,7 ]decane] was prepared as follows: 2-aminomethyl-2-hydroxyadamantane (2.70 g, 0.015 mol) was dissolved in 40 ml of anhydrous ethanol. After stirring for several minutes at room temperature, the solution was treated dropwise with 1.84 ml (0.015 mol) of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 21/4 hours, then the solvent was removed in vacuo to leave 3.3 g (77%) of the desired 1,4-oxazinone derivative. Mp 227°-229° C. (ethanol).

     The above prepared derivative was reduced as follows to form 3-(methoxycarbonyl)methyl-spiro[3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-1,4-oxazin-2-one-6,2&#39;-tricyclo[3.3.1.1 3 ,7 ]decane]. The derivative (13.0 g) was dissolved in acetic acid and hydrogenated in a Parr apparatus over 2.62 g platinum oxide. The hydrogenation was run at room temperature for 21/2 hours at pressure that did not exceed 1 atm. After workup and recrystallization from methanol, 8.80 g of the pure 3-(methoxycarbonyl)methyl analog was obtained. Mp 103°-107° C.

     EXAMPLE 2 
     5,5-Dimethyl-3-(methoxycarbonyl)methylene-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-1,4-oxazine-2-one was prepared as follows: 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (5.35 ml, 0.056 mol) was dissolved in 100 ml of anhydrous ethanol. Dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (7.20 ml, 0.056 mol) was added dropwise at a rate which caused the solution to mildly reflux. Then, the reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 hours, and the solvent was evaporated to yield the desired 1,4-oxazinone derivative. After recrystallization from ethanol, 5.79 g of pure product was obtained melting at 94°-97° C.
