Abstract: The invention relates to substituted 3-amino-1-arylalkyl-benzazepin-2-ones of the general formula ##STR1## wherein Ar is aryl;X is --O-- or --S(O).sub.n -- and n is 0, 1 or 2;X.sub.1 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.2 alkylene or a direct bond;R.sub.1 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, aryl-lower alkyl or acyl;R.sub.2 is lower alkyl, hydroxy-lower alkyl, lower alkoxy-lower alkyl, aryl-lower alkoxy-lower alkyl, aryl-lower alkyl or C.sub.3 -C.sub.7 cycloalkyl-lower alkyl;R.sub.3 is carboxy; lower alkoxycarbonyl; lower alkoxy-lower alkoxycarbonyl; aryl-lower alkoxycarbonyl; aryloxycarbonyl; carbamoyl; carbamoyl that (i) is monosubstituted by hydroxy, lower alkanesulfonyl, halo-lower alkanesulfonyl or by arylsulfonyl, (ii) is monosubstituted or disubstituted, the substituents being independent of one another, by lower alkyl, lower alkenyl, lower alkynyl or by phenyl-lower alkyl or (iii) is disubstituted by lower alkylene or by lower alkylene-Z.sub.1 -lower alkylene, Z.sub.1 being O, S or NH; 5-tetrazolyl; PO.sub.2 H.sub.2 ; PO.sub.3 H.

Abstract: N-aralkyl- and N-heteroaralkyl-aminoalkanephosphinic acids of formula I ##STR1## wherein R is an aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, cycloaliphatic-aliphatic, araliphatic or heteroarylaliphatic radical having at least 2 carbon atoms, R.sub.1 is hydrogen or hydroxy, R.sub.2 is an araliphatic or heteroarylaliphatic radical substituted by free or functionally modified carboxy that is bonded directly or by way of a spacer, and R.sub.3 is hydrogen, lower alkyl or a group R.sub.2, and the salts thereof have valuable nootropic and anti-epileptic properties and can be used in the preparation of a nootropic or anti-epileptic medicament.
