Abstract: The present invention relates to bifeprunox derivatives of formula (I) wherein R1 is one substituent chosen from 3-OH, 4-OH, 3-OSO3H and 4-OSO3H; R2 is H; or an N-oxide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, or a solvate or hydrate of any of the foregoing. The compounds of the invention may be used in the treatment or alleviation of dopamine D2 receptor mediated diseases or conditions.

Abstract: N-oxides of certain pyridylmethylpiperazine and -piperidine derivatives are provided as alternatives to or as “prodrugs” of their respective parent compounds, as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing these N-oxides, methods for preparing them, and compositions comprising them. The N-oxides have the formula (a) wherein the substituents have the meanings given in the description, and wherein the oxidized nitrogen atom can be the nitrogen atom in the pyridyl ring of R5, or the nitrogen atom in the piperidine ring (when Z is carbon) or either one of the nitrogen atoms in the piperazine ring (when Z is nitrogen), or both the nitrogen atom connected to R5 via a methylene group, and the nitrogen atom in the pyridyl ring of R5, and tautomers, stereoisomers, pharmacologically acceptable salts, hydrates, and solvates thereof.

Abstract: An alpha-hydroxyl-alpha,alpha-di(inert-substituted)-gamma',delta'-yne ketone can be prepared by a procedure comprising contacting an acetylenic Grignard reagent with an alpha-hydroxyl-alpha,alpha-di(inert substituted)-alpha',beta'-ene ketone, and the alpha-hydroxyl-alpha,alpha-di(inert-substituted)-alpha',beta'-ene ketone can be prepared by a procedure comprising steps of contacting, first, an alkoxy allene with a lithium donating organic agent, second, product of the first step with a di(inert-substituted)ketone, and third, product of the second step with an acidic substance.
