After addition of the title compound (I) to the urine of the rat, the rabbit, and man, four metabolites, 1-(5-oxohexyl) analog (II) of I, 1-(5-hydroxyhexyl) analog (III) of I, 1-(3-carboxypropyl) analog (IV) of I, and 1-(4,5-dihydroxy) derivative (V) of I, were detected. The structure of these metabolites were proved by chem. degradation and synthesis. Thus, for isolation and detection of the metabolites the urine was concentrated in vacuo, basified with alkali, and extracted continuously with CHCl3, the extract evaporated in vacuo and the brown sirup investigated by thin-layer chromatography. By chromatography on Al2O3 were obtained V, m. 157-60°, [α]21.5D -10.8° (H2O), Rf 0.20 (identified by comparison- and mixture-chromatography), III, m. 122-9°, and a little II, identified in the same manner. From the acidified urine IV, m. 220°, was extracted and precipitated by addition of MeOH. In crude glucuronide (prepared by precipitation with lead sulfide according to Kamil, et al., CA 46, 2653i), III and V could be detected only after addition of H2O, acetate buffer (pH 4.62), and β-glucuronidase (1250 Fishman units), and 8 hrs. incubation at 37° followed by extraction with CHCl3. In the aqueous phase was detected glucuronic acid (VI) by thin-layer chromatography. The carbazole reaction (Dische, CA 41, 3157h) proved the presence of free VI. Synthesis: To 11.7 g. 1 bromo-3-phenoxypropane in 100 ml. Et0H was dropped a solution of 9.5 g. theobromine and 2.1 g. NaOH in 50 ml. H2O with stirring and warming, refluxed 5 hrs., and evaporated in vacuo to obtain nearly 100% 1-(phenoxypropyl) derivative (VII) of I, m. 111-12° (EtOH). VII (61 g.) was refluxed with 300 ml. 48% HBr 5 hrs. to give 60% 1-(3-bromopropyl) analog (VIII) of I, m. 143-4° (MeOH). To 1.4 g. Na in 75 ml. absolute Et0H was added 7.8 g. AcCH2OEt and 18 g. VIII, refluxed 12 hrs., evaporated, the residue dissolved in H2O, extracted with CHCl3, the extract dried with Na2SO4, filtered, evaporated, the residue stirred with 72 ml. 5% NaOH, filtered, and acidified with 7.2 ml. half concentrated H2SO4 (CO2 evolution), boiled briefly, cooled, basified, extracted with CHCl3, and chromatographed (9:1 CHCl3EtOH) to give 2.4 g. II, m. 103° (iso-PrOH); 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone m. 200-1° (EtOH). Reduction of II with NaBH4 in MeOH gave 90% III, m. 124° (iso-PrOH). To 2 g. VIII was added 400 mg. KCN in aqueous alc. solution within 10 min. with stirring, refluxed 3 hrs., evaporated in vacuo, and the residue boiled with 48% HBr 3 hrs. to obtain 18% IV, m. 220° (H2O). IV was esterified with ethereal CH2N2 or by heating with 14% methanolic HCl to obtain 62% Me ester (IX) of IV, m. 102° (Et2O). IX refluxed with 20% HCl 2 hrs. gave IV. To 154.2 mg. V in 2 ml. H2O was added 166 mg. NaIO4 in 3 ml. H2O, the pH brought to 2.5 with H2SO4, the mixture kept 2 hrs. in a refrigerator, extracted with CHCl3, and Et2O added to obtain nearly 100% 1-(3-formylpropyl) analog (X) of I, m. 91-3°; p-nitrophenylhydrazone m. 211-12° (EtOH). X was oxidized with KMnO4 in dilute H2SO4 to give IV, m. 219-23°. VII warmed with Ac2O 12 hrs. on a water bath gave 65% diacetyl derivative (Xll) of V, m. 70°, solidified at 90° and m. 110° (Et2O). XII was kept 2 hrs. with dilute NaOH to give V, m. 157-60° (Me2CO). The metabolites were also identified by mixture m.ps. with corresponding synthetic products.
