Abstract: 2-amino-2-phenyl-alkanol ester derivatives of general formula (I) in which: R1 is H, straight or branched 1 to 4C alkyl, straight or branched 2 to 4C alkyl substituted by OH, alkoxy, alkylthio, acyloxy, NH2, alkylamino, dialkylamino, alkylcarbamoyloxy, alkoxycarbonylamino, ureido or alkylureido, R2 is a —CO—R radical in which R is H, alkyl, aryl, heterocyclyl, benzyl or heterocyclylmethyl, or R2 is a —CO—Y—R4 radical for which Y is —O—, —S—, —NH—, -Nalk- for which alk is straight or branched (1 to 4C) alkyl, and R4 is alkyl, aryl, aralkyl or heterocyclylalkyl, capable of being substituted by one or more halogen atoms or OH radicals, straight or branched (1 to 4C) alkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, acylaminoalkylthio, alkoxycarbonyl or acylamino (1 to 4C) straight or branched, or oxo, or capable of being substituted by R5COO— in which R5 is alkyl optionally substituted by benzyloxycarbonylamino, acylamino or by an amino acid residue, or represents an heterocyclyl radical, or R2 is alkyl (2 to 4C) substituted by OH, alk
