Abstract: Pharmaceutical compounds of the formula: ##STR1## R.sup.1 to R.sup.8 are each hydrogen or C.sub.1-4 alkyl, m, n and p are each 0, 1, or 2, q is 0, 1, 2 or 3, X and Z are each C.sub.1-4 alkyl, C.sub.1-4 alkoxy, hydroxy, nitro, cyano, halo, trihalomethyl, carboxy, C.sub.1-4 alkoxy-carbonyl or phenyl, and in addition z, together with the phenyl ring to which it is attached, can be: ##STR2## Y is --O--, --S-- or --CH.sub.2 --, V is --(CH.sub.2).sub.r -- or --(CH.sub.2).sub.r S-- where r is 1 to 15, and W is hydrogen or optionally substituted phenyl; and salts thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to a compound of formula (I) ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each hydrogen, halo, hydroxy, nitro, C.sub.1-4 alkylcarbonyl, hydroxy-C.sub.1-4 alkyl, R.sup.3 is hydrogen or optionally substituted phenylsulphonyl, R.sup.4 is optionally substituted phenyl, benzofuranyl or dihydrobenzofuranyl, and R.sup.5 is hydrogen or C.sub.1-4 alkyl; and salts thereof. These compounds are useful dopaminergic agents.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical compounds of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 is hydrogen or C.sub.1-6 alkyl, R.sup.2 is hydrogen, C.sub.1-6 alkyl optionally substituted by C.sub.3-9 cycloalkyl or optionally substituted phenyl, C.sub.3-9 cycloalkyl, optionally substituted phenyl, or --SR.sup.4 where R.sup.4 is C.sub.1-6 alkyl optionally substituted by C.sub.3-9 cycloalkyl or optionally substituted phenyl, or C.sub.3-9 cycloalkyl, R.sup.3 is hydrogen, C.sub.1-6 alkyl optionally substituted by C.sub.3-9 cycloalkyl or optionally substituted phenyl, c.sub.3-9 cycloalkyl, or optionally phenyl, and either X and Y are both hydrogen or together are .dbd.O; and acid addition salts thereof. These compounds show useful effects on the central nervous system.

Abstract: There is described a compound of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 is hydrogen or C.sub.1-4 alkyl, R.sup.2 is hydrogen, C.sub.1-4 alkyl, hydroxy C.sub.1-4 alkyl, C.sub.1-4 alkoxy C.sub.1-4 alkyl, HSC.sub.1-4 alkyl, C.sub.1-4 alkyl-S-C.sub.1-4 alkyl, C.sub.1-4 alkylthio, optionally substituted arylthio or optionally substituted aralkylthio, and R.sup.3 is hydrogen, C.sub.1-4 alkyl, optionally substituted aryl or optionally substituted aralkyl; and salts thereof. The compounds show useful effects on the central nervous system.

Abstract: Novel amines of formula:R--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --NR.sup.1 R.sup.2where R is cis-2-phenylbicyclo[2,2,2]octane or 2-phenylbicyclo[2,2,2]oct-2-ene nucleus, n is 1 to 3, R.sup.1 is C.sub.1-3 alkyl and R.sup.2 is hydrogen or C.sub.1-3 alkyl, and acid-addition salts thereof, which are useful for the treatment of disorders of the central nervous system.

Abstract: A process for preparing antidepresssant 2-phenylbicyclooctylamines of formula (I): ##STR1## where R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 represent C.sub.1-3 alkyl and Ar represents a phenyl group optionally substituted by up to two halogen atoms, by reduction of a novel enamine intermediate of formula: ##STR2## where R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are hydrogen or taken together represent a single bond and where X is hydrogen, bromine or chlorine.
