CPC Definition - Subclass C07D

Last Updated Version: 2023.02
HETEROCYCLIC COMPOUNDS (macromolecular compounds C08)
Definition statement

This place covers:

Organic compounds containing at least one heterocyclic ring, and with no ring comprising a steroid, saccharide or peptide moiety. Said compounds of C07D contain ring heteroatoms selected from nitrogen, oxygen, sulphur, selenium, tellurium, halogen or a combination thereof.

The compounds may also contain metal atoms, but only as the cations of heterocyclic organic acid salts, alcoholates, phenolates or mercaptides, or as chelating atoms, e.g. in porphyrins.

Preparation of such compounds, including purification, separation, stabilisation or use of additives, unless a separate place is provided elsewhere in the classification scheme.

Relationships with other classification places

In class C07, the last place priority rule is used, i.e. in the absence of an indication to the contrary, a compound is classified in the last appropriate subclass. Hence, while individual heterocycle-containing amino acids are classified in this subclass C07D, peptides are generally classified in subclass C07K. Similarly, compounds containing saccharide radicals are classified in subclass C07H, and heterocyclic steroids are classified in subclass C07J. (Detailed instructions which compounds are considered as C07H, C07J or C07K can be found in the corresponding CPC Definitions.) Heterocycles incorporating elements other than C, H, halogen, N, O, S, Se or Te are classified in subclass C07F, but only if the metal-containing compound has a metal carbon bond or if the metal is attached to at least two different ligands. Salts, adducts or complexes formed between two or more organic compounds are classified according to all compounds forming the salts, adducts or complexes (e.g., maleic acid salts of heterocyclic compounds are also classified in C07C).

This subclass is a structure-oriented entry for the compounds themselves and does not cover the application or use of the compounds under the subclass definition.

For classifying such information other entries exist, for example:

  • Heterocyclic compounds disclosed as dyes or pigments are classified in subclass C09B.
  • Compounds or compositions for preservation of bodies of humans, animals, plants, or parts thereof, as biocides, e.g. disinfectants, pesticides, herbicides, as pest repellents or attractants, and as plant growth regulators are classified in subclass A01N.
  • Preparations for medical, dental, or toilet purposes or methods of using compounds for the same purposes are classified in subclass A61K.

Multiple classification:

Biocidal, pest repellent, or plant growth regulatory activity of chemical compounds or preparations is further classified in subclass A01P.

Therapeutic activity of chemical compounds is further classified in subclass A61P.

Uses of cosmetics or similar toilet preparations are further classified in subclass A61Q.

Oligomers are classified as low molecular compounds in C07D and as macromolecular compounds in C08.

Special rules of classification

In this subclass, in the absence of an indication to the contrary, a compound is classified in the last appropriate place.

Chemical compounds and their preparation are classified in the groups for the type of compound prepared. The processes of preparation are also classified in the groups for the types of reaction employed, if of interest. The compounds prepared are also classified in the groups for the types of compounds prepared, if of interest.

Salts of a compound, unless specifically provided for, are classified as that compound. Salts, adducts or complexes formed between two or more organic compounds are classified according to all compounds forming the salts, adducts or complexes. Salts, chelates, alcoholates (except Ti/Zr), phenates involving a single ligand are classified as the parent compound (metal containing porphyrin C07D 487/22).

Where a molecule may exist in tautomeric forms, classification is made for the form which appears latest in the scheme. Therefore, double bonds between ring members and non-ring members and double bonds between ring members themselves are considered equivalent in determining the degree of hydrogenation of the ring.

  • Compounds containing a single heterocycle are classified in the range C07D 203/00 - C07D 347/00 (cf. Table 1). Compounds containing two or more heterocycles, none of which are condensed among themselves nor condensed with a carbocyclic ring, and all of which are covered by the same main group, are also classified in this range.
  • Heterocyclic compounds which contain rings of five or more members, wherein only nitrogen is present as a ring heteroatom, and wherein the ring carbon atoms are fully saturated and only bound to hydrogen atoms, are classified in main group C07D 295/00. 3-azabicyclo[3.2.2]nonanes, piperazines, morpholines and thiomorpholines unsubstituted on the ring carbon atoms are also classified here.
  • Compounds containing two or more hetero rings individually covered by different main groups, and not part of the same condensed ring system are classified in the range C07D 401/00 - C07D 421/00 (cf. Table 2). Compounds containing two rings of two different main groups are classified in the relevant subgroups, e.g. C07D 401/04, C07D 401/06, C07D 401/08, C07D 401/10 or C07D 401/12", depending on how they are attached. Compounds containing three or more rings of two or more different main groups are classified in the relevant subgroup, e.g. C07D 401/14.
  • Where a compound contains at least one ring covered by group C07D 295/00 and at least one other hetero ring, the hetero ring covered by group C07D 295/00 is ignored and treated as an acyclic chain containing nitrogen atoms for the purposes of classification.
  • Compounds containing two or more hetero rings, being part of the same condensed ring system, are classified in the range C07D 451/00 - C07D 519/00 (cf. Table 3 and 4).

The following table shows how classification can change depending on substitution:

C07D 403/10 Two main groups; Two heterocyclic rings present

C07D 401/14 Two main groups; Seven heterocyclic rings present

An acyclic side-chain linked to the hetero ring is considered to be terminated by every bond to: 1) an element other than carbon 2) a carbon atom having three bonds to hetero atoms, with at the most one bond to halogen, e.g. ester or nitrile radicals. For example, the following compound is classified in C07D 203/10 and not in C07D 203/12.

media0.png

Where a heterocycle is linked to a carbocycle by an acyclic chain, and both the chain and the carbocycle are further substituted by either hetero atoms or carbon atoms with three bonds to hetero atoms, not more than one hetero atom being a halogen, the molecule is classified according to the substituents on the acyclic chain. See the following example:

is classified in groups C07D 233/24 and C07D 233/26, where X = - NH2, - NHCOCH3, or - COOCH3.

C07D 451/00 - C07D 517/00 cover compounds containing one system of two or more relevant hetero rings condensed among themselves or condensed with a common carbocyclic ring system, with or without other non- condensed hetero rings. For the purpose of classification in groups C07D 451/00 - C07D 519/00, the degree of hydrogenation of the ring system is not taken into consideration. For the purpose of classification in groups C07D 451/00 - C07D 463/00, C07D 473/00 - C07D 477/00, C07D 489/00, C07D 499/00 - C07D 507/00, the wording of the groups has to be understood, in the absence of an indication to the contrary, as including ring systems further condensed with carbocyclic rings or ring systems, but excluding ring systems further condensed with other hetero rings, either directly or through a common carbocyclic ring system, e.g. sparteine is classified in group C07D 471/22 and not in group C07D 455/02. In groups C07D 471/00, C07D 487/00, C07D 491/00 - C07D 498/00 or C07D 513/00 - C07D 517/00, the subdivision is based on the number of relevant hetero rings.

Classification of complex fused ring systems

C07D 451/00 - C07D 517/00 cover heterocyclic compounds containing one system of two or more relevant hetero rings condensed among themselves or condensed with a common carbocyclic ring system, with or without other noncondensed hetero rings. As mentioned in the Glossary of Terms under "number of relevant rings" and "relevant rings", the rings which identify the ring system are determined according to a specific manner and hierarchy of criteria.

Example

media55.jpeg

Six scissions are necessary to convert the ring system into an acyclic chain.

The relevant rings, when classified according to the aforementioned hierarchy, are the following: C3N2, C5, C4NO, C4N2, C5N, C10N3O.

The condensed system contains five heterorings, is bridged, and contains at least one hetero ring having nitrogen and oxygen atoms as the only ring hetero atoms.

Thus, the compound should be classified as C07D 498/22.

Classification guidance

What is classified as a compound?

The following compounds are classified: those which are individually named or drawn in the claims; and real examples of compounds disclosed in the specification, that fall within the scope of the claims. A real example is a compound which is prepared or for which physical and/or biological data is given.

The same rules apply for compounds claimed or disclosed as reaction intermediates.

Not classified are the following: generic formulae (Markush formulae, even if they have only one variable group); list(s) of "prophetic compounds" which fall within the scope of the claims but which were not actually prepared; and compounds disclosed in the description/specification but which are not claimed as compounds per se.

What is classified as a process for the preparation of a compound?

Classified are only preparation examples of claimed processes. A process is classified in a process group if a dedicated process group exists (e.g. C07D 201/00 or C07D 301/00). Where there is no process group for making a particular compound, the process is classified according to the product obtained in the claimed process.

Glossary of terms

In this place, the following terms or expressions are used with the meaning indicated:

Acyclic

The absence of a ring structure. Acyclic chains may be linear or branched.

Bridged

Where two condensed rings share at least three adjacent ring members:media6.png

Carbocyclic

Where all ring members in a ring are carbon atoms.

Condensed

Where at least two rings share at least one ring member.

Condensed ring system

A ring system in which all rings are condensed among themselves, i.e. a ring system wherein the scission of a single connection between two ring atoms cannot result in the division of the ring system into separate entities. Two or more hetero rings are considered part of the same condensed ring system if they are condensed among themselves or to a common carbocycle or carbocyclic system.

Heterocyclic

Wherein at least one ring member in a molecule containing a ring of atoms is not a carbon atom. For the purposes of classification in this subclass, a narrower definition applies wherein heteroatoms may only be chosen from nitrogen, oxygen, sulphur, selenium, tellurium or halogen.

Number of relevant rings

In a condensed ring system, this equals the minimum number of scissions necessary to convert the ring system into an acyclic chain, a scission being the disconnection of two bonded atoms, without regard for the bond order.

Ortho-condensed

Where two condensed rings share two adjacent ring atoms in common. A ring system is deemed ortho-condensed if each ring shares only one face with any other ring, and no ring has two adjacent shared faces: media7.png

Peri-condensed

Where three rings in a condensed ring system share a single ring atom in common: media8.png

Relevant rings

These are the rings which account for all the bonds in a condensed system. In order to prevent ambiguity in classifying a condensed ring system, the rings which identify the ring system are determined according to the following hierarchy of criteria: the rings with the lowest number of members; the rings with the highest number of hetero atoms as ring members; the rings with the lowest number of members shared between rings; the rings with the last place in the classification scheme.

Rings

Rings are considered as heterocycles only if they contain at least one atom selected from halogen, N, O, S, Se or Te as a ring member. Heterocyclic rings may be present as distinct entities or condensed, either with carbocycles or among themselves.

Spiro-condensed

Where two condensed rings share only one atom in common:"free" "frozen" media9.pngmedia10.png

[x,y]-condensed

The letters in the square brackets refer to the sides around the heterocyclic ring with "a" for the side 1,2; "b" for the side 2,3; etc. For example: media56.png
