Abstract: There are provided certain N-(1-lower alkyl-2-pyrrolidylmethyl)2-lower aly-4-amino-5-lower alkyl sulphonyl benzamides and derivatives thereof which provide surprising antiapomorphine and antiserotonin activity.

Abstract: Enamines which are employed to obtain benzamides effective in the treatment of emesis are produced by efficient processes.

Abstract: The enamines of this invention are useful in the preparation of certain benzamides employed in the treatment of emesis in mammals.

Abstract: The azimido benzamide of this invention and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts have an unusually and unexpectedly high therapeutic index and low toxicity in the treatment of emesis in mammals. Pharmacological testing demonstrated the superior efficacy of the compound of this invention over known, similar compounds.

Abstract: The benzamides of this invention and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are particularly effective in the treatment of emesis and ulcers in mammals. Their low level of toxicity is compatible with use in human therapy, without undesirable side effects.

Abstract: 2,5-Disubstituted benzamides are produced by an efficient, effective and economical method by the utilization of 4-methyl 2-chloro 1-3-2-dioxophosphorinane as a catalyst.
