`product resulted in excellent yield and of a composition
`corresponding to one molecule of salicylic acid for each
`molecule of 8-quinolinylbenzoate. This was all the more
`unexpected as under the same conditions phthalic acid,
`which is the corresponding o-carboxylic benzoic acid, and
`is comparable to salicylic acid in acid strength
`
`failed to form a salt.
`A possible explanation for the unusual and unexpected
`results obtained, although it is to be understood that I am
`not committed to such theory, may be in terms of a two
`fold joining of the reactants, on the one hand, by typical
`salt formation between the carboxylic acid and the basis
`heterocyclic nitrogen together with intermolecular hydro
`gen bonding of the ortho hydroxyl hydrogen with the
`carbonyl of the ester carboxylate, on the other, to give
`a stable compound, viz:

`The present application is a continuation-in-part of my
`copending application Serial No. 758,555, ?led September
`2, 1958.
`The present invention relates to the manufacture of new
`compounds and compositions containing the same char
`acterized by a high antifungal and antibacterial activity
`and suitable for clinical and industrial use.
`It is the general object of the invention to provide im
`proved compounds and compositions possessing powerful
`antimicrobial activity and capable‘ of use both clinically
`for the treatment of fungal infections, as against the or
`ganisms causing dermatophytosis pedis (“athlete’s foot”),
`and industrially, as in the mildewproo?ng of paints and
`other coating compositions and organic ?lms of various
`kinds subject to fungal action, impregnating compositions,
`and for disinfection generally.
`It is a particular object of the invention to provide anti
`fungal agents which in clinical use are substantially free
`from irritation, are rapid and reliable in their action, and
`promote rapid healing of diseased areas of long standing.
`Other objects and advantages of the invention will become
`apparent from the detailed description hereinafter.
`Brie?y described, the invention relates to antifungal and
`antibacterial agents obtained by the reaction of esters of
`S-hydroxyquinolines with salicylic acids, the products
`being in thenature of addition compounds or “salts.”
`It is well known that 8-hydroxyquinolines form addi
`tion compounds or amine salts with a wide variety of in—
`organic and organic acids. Included among the latter are
`malonic, maleic, succinic, citric, tartaric, phthalic, salicyl
`ic, and beta-resorcylic acids. Also, many esters of S-hy
`droxyquinolines have been synthesized. However, al
`though some of these esters have been used to form salts
`with inorganic and certain sulfonic acids, they can not be
`converted into the salts of the common organic acids.
`Thus, the benzoic ester of S-hydroxyquinoline has been
`synthesized using known procedures, but attempts by me'
`to prepare salts of this ester with such acids as malonic,
`maleic, citric, tartaric and phthalic were unsuccessful. In
`50
`each case there was no reaction of the components when
`used in either equivalent or molar excess proportions in >
`'
`homogeneous solutions in various solvents, e.g., aqueous
`alcohols, anhydrous alcohols, ether, benzene, chloroform,
`etc. In every instance the -8-quinolinyl benzoate base was
`recovered in almost quantitative yield after each trial.
`Under the same conditions, S-hydroxyquinoline itself
`readily forms salts with these acids, the products being
`well de?ned and isolatable. However, S-quinolinylben
`zoate failed to form a salt even with so acidic a substance
`as o-sulfobenzimide (KA=2.5 X 10-2). Attempts to com
`bine phthalic acid- with 8-quinolinylbenzoate yielded
`nothing but the original reactants.
`Similar results were obtained with ?-resorcylic acid
`(2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid) and gentisic acid (2,5-dihy
`droxybenzoic acid). Although these two latter acids
`form salts readily with S-hydroxylquinoline, they failed
`to react with 8-quinolinylbenzoate.
`It was accordingly most surprising to discover that when
`S-quinolinylbenzoate (and also other esters, and of further
`substituted quinolines, as described below) was reacted
`with o-hydroxybenzoic acid (salicylic acid) a well-de?ned
`

`
`Mere hydrogen bonding can not bring about a stable
`linkage as shown by the failure of the attempt to effect
`a reaction between l8-quinolinylbenzoate with ortho nitro
`phenol. No addition took place under a variety of ex
`perimental conditions. The highly speci?c properties
`needed for reaction were demonstrated by the failure of
`ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid to give an isolatable re
`action product with v8-quinolinyl benzoate when used in
`equimolecular proportions employing solutions prepared
`from formamide and water. Even thiosalicylic acid, i.e.,
`ortho mercaptobenzoic acid, was recovered unchanged
`when equivalent proportions or even excess amounts were
`mixed in a variety of solvents with the above-named ester.
`Although a strong similarity exists between salicylic acid
`and its sulfur analog, it is possible that the mercapto hy
`drogen is too tightly held by the sulfur, thus preventing
`intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Salicylic acid substi
`tuted with groups containing additional acidic hydrogen
`atoms, e.g. ?-resorcylic and gentisic acids, showed no re
`activity, and in these instances it is possible that the avail
`able acidic hydrogen of the hydroxyl distant from the
`salt-forming carboxyl preferentially interfered with hy
`drogen bonding of the ortho hydroxyl hydrogen.
`The compounds of the present invention are accordingly
`comprised within the following general formula:
`
`55
`
`60
`
`wherein Y is the 8-quinolinyl radical or a substituted 8
`quinolinyl radical while R is the residue of a monobasic
`or dibasic aliphatic, or also of an aromatic or hetero
`cyclic acid, and X is a phenyl radical free from substit
`uents containing additional acidic hydrogen atoms. Thus
`R may be an alkyl or substituted alkyl group having up
`to 18 carbon atoms, and may also be aryl, aralkyl, aralkyl
`ene, furyl, and the like. By way of example, the salts of
`the invention include the salicylic acid salts of 8-quino
`linyl acetate, propionate, butyrate, t-butyl acetate, lau
`rate, pahnitate, stearate, cyclohexyl and cyclopentyl ace
`tate and propionate, benzoate, cinnamate, phenyl acetate
`and propionate, veratrate, furoate, and also the di-salicylic
`acid salts of di-8-quinolinyl phthalate and iso-phthalate,
`di-S-quinolinyl malonate and di-B-quinolinyl succinate.
`70
`For example, a new ester, di-S-quinolinyl phthalate,
`‘was prepared from phthalyl chloride and 8-hydroxy

`quinoline in pyridine. Even when the phthalyl chloride
`was used in large excess and the 8-hydroxyquinoline
`added gradually to it, the only product obtained was the
`di-ester of 8-hydroxyquinoline and phthalic acid. This
`ester upon reaction with salicylic acid yielded a product 5
`which analyzed correctly for the composition

`orine, chlorine and bromine, but preferably iodine), nitro,
`and the like. Examples of such salicylic acids are:
`5-chlorosalicylic acid, 3,5-diiodosalicylic acid, 4-methyl
`salicylic acid, 3-hexyl and 3-cyclohexyl salicylic acid, 3-
`phenylsalicylic acid, and 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid. These
`acids can be used to form salts with any of the esters of
`8-hydroxyquinolines named herein.
`Both the quinoline and salicylic nuclei of any salt can
`be further substituted as above described. Moreover, the
`10 alkyl, aryl or heterocyclic radicals of the ester groups can
`be substituted by halogen or nitro in the case of the alkyl
`radicals, or by halogen, lower alkyl or nitro in the case
`of cyclohexyl, aromatic or heterocyclic carboxylic acids.
`Examples of these are the salicylates (unsubstituted or
`15 substituted as above described) of p-chloro cyclohexyl
`carboxylic acid ester of 8-hydroxyquinoline, the p-nitro(cid:173)
`benzoic acid ester, the alpha-nitrofuroic acid ester, the
`o-ethyl and o-chloro-benzoic acid ester, the 2-chloro-
`propionic acid ester, and the like.
`The compounds of the invention are accordingly em(cid:173)
`braced by the foilowing general formula:
`
`20
`
`25
`
`30
`
`45
`
`The compound is thus composed of one molecule of
`di-8-quinolinyl phthalate and 2 molecules of salicylic
`acid. Attempts to prepare the product corresponding to
`one molecule of di-8-quinolinyl phthalate and one mole(cid:173)
`cule of salicylic acid by the use of an excess of the di-8- 35
`quinolinyl ester were unsuccessful; only the above product
`was obtained.
`This reaction was extended to a variety of esters of 8-
`hydroxyquinoline. For example, 8-quinolinyl cinnamate, 40
`phenylacetate, butyrate, laurate, and palmitate formed
`isolatatable, weII-defined products when reacted with
`salicylic acid.
`The high degree of anti-fungal effectiveness and sub(cid:173)
`stantial freedom from irritation of the salicylate salts of
`the present invention (as described more fully hereinbe(cid:173)
`low) are also most surprising in view of the fact that
`salicylic acid, both alone and mixed, as in Whitfield's
`Ointment, has practically no antifungal power, its action
`being "due chiefly to its keratolytic effect, and it is highly 60
`irritating" ("Antiseptics, Disinfectants, Fungicides and
`Sterilization," edited by G. F. Reddish, Lea & Febiger,
`Philadelphia, 1954, pp. 557-8).
`The quinoline ester can be nuclearly further substituted
`by one or more groups free of acidic hydrogens, like 65
`halogen (fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine), lower
`alkyls (up to eight carbon atoms), nitro, and the like.
`Thus in place .of 8-hydroxyquinoline (in the formation of
`the ester) there may be employed 5-chloro-7-iodo-8-
`hydroxyquinoline, 5,7,-diiodo-8-hydroxyquinoline, and 5, 60
`7-dibromo-8-hydroxyquinoline.
`The salicylate salts, including the salt of salicylic acid
`itself, of the esters, such as the benzoic acid ester, of
`these dihalogenated 8-hydroxy-quinolines, are more effec(cid:173)
`tive and less irritating in the treatment of microbially in- 65
`duced pathologic conditions than the known diiodo-8-
`hydroxyquinoline.
`The quinoline nucleus may also be both halogenated
`and alkylated, examples of such compounds being the
`salicylic acid salts of the benzoic acid esters of 3-methyl- 70
`5-chloro-7-iodo-8-hydroxyquinoline and 4-methyl-5,7-di(cid:173)
`bromo-8-hydroxyquinoline, and the like.
`The phenyl nucleus of the salicylic acid can be similar-
`ly further substituted by groups free from acidic hydrogen,
`including lower alkyl, cyclohexyl, phenyl, halogen (flu- 75
`
`wherein
`R is the residue of an organic monocarboxylic acid, or of
`an organic polycarboxylic acid whose other carboxyl
`group or groups (as in the case of citric acid) are es(cid:173)
`terified with an 8-hydroxyquinoline similarly salified
`with a salicylic acid, such residue being further sub(cid:173)
`stituted or not, as with halogen, nitro, lower alkyl and
`.other groups free of acidic hydrogen;
`Rl and R2 are hydrogen, halogen (any of the four, but
`preferably iodine), lower alkyl (e.g., 3 and/or 5-
`methyl), nitro, or other group devoid of acidic hydro(cid:173)
`gen;
`Xis hydrogen or lower alkyl;
`Y and Z are hydrogen, halogen, nitro, or other groups
`having no acidic hydrogen.
`The following examples illustrate detailed procedures
`for the preparation of the compounds of the invention,
`but are not to be understood as indicating the scope
`.thereof.
`
`EXAMPLE 1
`8-quinolinyl benzoate-salicyllic acid salt
`124 grams 8-quinolinyl benzoate (M.P. 123-124° C.)
`and 70 gms. salicylic acid were dissolved in 1200 ml.
`99% isopropyl alcohol by heating and stirring. On slow
`cooling thick colorless needles graduaIIy formed. After
`12 hours the product was removed by suction filtration,
`washed with 99% isopropyl alcohol, and air-dried. The
`yield was 130 grams of a colorless product.
`For analysis a sample was recrystallized from 99%
`isopropyl alcohol, M.P. 135.6-136.6° (Anschiitz ther(cid:173)
`mometer). Carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen values were
`in exceIIent agreement for the composition,
`Cl6H1102N.C7HGOa
`
`mol. wt. 387.
`The specificity of this reaction in terms of the acid used
`is illustrated by the following:
`6.2 gms. 8-quinolinyl benzoate and 2.9 gms. maleic
`acid were dissolved by warming in 65 ml. 99% isopropyl
`alcohol to give a clear solution. On slow cooling, large
`colorless prisms formed; after standing, these were re(cid:173)
`covered by suction filtration, :washed with 99% isopropyl
`alcohol and dried. The first crop yielded 5.04 gms.,

`M.P. 123-124° C. A mixed melting point and analysis
`showed this product to be unreacted 8-quinolinyl benzo(cid:173)
`ate. Concentration of the :filtrate yielded the remainder
`of the 8-quinolinyl benzoate in an uncombined state.
`This experiment was repeated using the same ester
`with different mganic carboxylic acids, e.g., phthalic,
`malonic, succinic, tartaric, thiosalicylic, beta-resorcylic,
`gentisic and others. The solvents used were chosen on
`the basis of providing mutual solubility, secondary alco(cid:173)
`hols being preferred over primary to avoid ester exchange.
`In all these instances the 8-quinolinyl benzoate was re(cid:173)
`covered uncombined in high yield. o-Sulfobenzimide
`dissolved in 99% isopropyl alcohol together with an
`equivalent amount of 8-quinolinyl benzoate also failed
`to react.

`the product was filtered, washed with benzene and air(cid:173)
`dried. Yield 12 gms. of colorless crystals. This was re(cid:173)
`crystallized from benzene, M.P. 140-142 ° C. (Anschlitz
`therm.). Analysis for carbon, hydrogen and nitmgen
`5 gave excellent agreement
`for C26H 160 4N2.2C7H503,
`molecular weight 696.
`Attempts to prepare the mono salicylic acid reaction
`product with the di-8-quinolinyl phthalate by the use of
`equi-molar proportions were unsuccessful, the di-salicylic

`EXAMPLE2
`Di~8-quinolinylphthalate-di-salicylic acid salt
`(a) Di-8-quinolinyl phthalate.-30 gms. (0.21 mole)
`8-hydroxyquinoline were dissolved in 120 gms. anhydrous
`pyridine in a 500 ml. 3-neck round bottom flask equipped
`with a thermometer, dropping funnel, agitator, cooling
`bath, and vented to the atmosphere through a calcium
`chloride drying tube. The internal temperature was
`maintained at 10 to 15° C. and over a period of 1~
`hours there were then added dropwise 25 gms. (0.12
`mole) phthalyl chloride. After complete addition, the
`mixture was agitated an additional 1 ~ hours at 15 to
`20° C. It was then poured into 500 ml. water, stirred
`thoroughly and allowed to stand overnight. The small ex- 30
`cess of phthalyl chloride which remained was thus con(cid:173)
`verted to phthalic acid, and this remained in solution as
`the pyridine salt. The di-8-quinolinyl phthalate was re(cid:173)
`moved by suction filtration, washed well with water, and
`air-Oried at room temperature. A yield of 35 gms. 35
`80% was obtained. The product was crystallized
`from benzene (35 gms. in 400 ml.) to give large, colorless
`prisms, melting point 178-180° C. to a clear colorless
`melt. Analysis for carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen con(cid:173)
`.firmed the composition C26H 160 4N2, molecular weight 40
`420.
`Di-8-quinolinyl phthalate is colorless, odorless, poorly
`soluble in water, and slightly soluble in methyl or 99%
`isopropyl alcohol. On boiling a suspension of the prod-
`uct in water, no color is observed. Testing of the liquor 45
`rwith ferric chloride showed that no 8-hydroxyquinoline
`had been liberated. However, di-8-quinolinyl phthalate
`is readily soluble in dilute aqueous hydrochloric acid and
`on heating, rapid hydrolysis results; the thus-formed 8-
`hydroxyquinoline hydrochloride causing a strong yellow 5o

`the di-8-quinolinyl phthalate was

`c-- The use of the above preparative pmcedure gives rise
`to only one product, di-8-quinolinyl phthalate, even under 55
`conditions that should favor the formation of mono-8-
`quinolinyl acid phthalate. In a similar experimental set-
`up there were placed 250 gms. anhydrous pyridine into
`the reaction flask. After cooling to 15° C., 50 gms.
`(0.25 mole) phthalyl chloride were added slowly. Next, 60
`over a ~ hr. period, a solution of 20 gms. (0.14 mole)
`8-hydroxyquinoline dissolved
`in 50 gms. anhydrous
`pyridine was added. The reaction mixture rwas stirred an
`additional two hours at 15° C., quenched in 1 liter water
`and processed as before. A white crystalline powder was 65
`obtained, 28 gms., rwhich on recrystallization from ben(cid:173)
`zene had a melting point of 178-180° C. A mixed melt-
`ing point with di-8-quinolinyl phthalate was unchanged.
`The theoretical yield for this product is 29 gms.
`(b) Di-8-quinolinylphthalate-di-salicylic acid salt.- 70
`8.4 gms. (0.02 mole) di-8-quinolinyl phthalate were di~
`solved in 150 ml. boiling benzene. To this there were
`added 5.5 gms. (0.04 mole) salicylic acid. A clear solu(cid:173)

`petroleum ether (boiling point range 30-60° C.). On
`cooling to room temperature, no precipitate formed.
`However, on refrigeration at 0° C. long, colorless need-

`washed with cold :petroleum ether, and air-Oried to give
`3.0 gms. of product. Recrystallization from petroleum
`ether gave a colorless crystalline product which melted at

`product precipitated. · The volume was reduced to 25
`ml. under vacuum, and on cooling, long colorless needles
`formed. These were removed by suction filtration,
`washed with a small volume of cold 99% isopropyl al(cid:173)

`a small volume of 0.5 N HCl solution and air-dried. A
`yield of 11.0 gms. 3-methyl-8-quinolinyl benzoate was
`obtained. For analysis a sample was recrystallized from

`(0.066 mole) 5,7-dibromo-8-hydroxyquinoline was added
`to 250.0 ml. (3.1 moles) pyridine at 25° C. The clear light
`20 yellow solution was cooled down to +10° C., and 12.0 g.
`(0.85 mole) :benzoyl chloride was added at the rate of
`1 ml./12 minutes over a period of 2 hours, in the tem(cid:173)
`perature range +10 to +15° C. Agitation was con-
`tinued for 2 hours after final addition of benzoyl chloride.
`The pyridine solution was then slowly poured into 1500
`ml. of tap water, with agitation. Crystallization occurred
`and wiuhin 2-6 minutes a white solid deposited on the
`beaker wall. After 10 minutes the solid was scratched
`off from the beaker wall. Agitation was continued for
`1 hour longer. The product was filtered off with suction
`and all pyridine washed out with 1 ~ liters of tap water.
`The residue was slurried in 100 ml. accasolve to remove
`any excess benzoic acid. The solid was filtered off again,
`with suction, and washed with accasolve. The air dried
`35 yield was 21.35 g.
`The crude ester was then dissolved in 575.0 ml. of 99%
`i-propanol. The hot clear light amber solution was al(cid:173)
`lowed to cool slowly to give rise to clusters of prismatic
`40 white crystals. They were suction-filtered and washed
