  • Patent number: 4031245
    Abstract: Novel alkenyl- and alkanylamines having the formula: ##STR1## wherein Am is lower-alkylamino, di-lower-alkylamino and piperidino; A is methylene and methylidyne; R is hydrogen, lower-alkyl, lower-alkoxy, halogen and trifluoromethyl; m is zero and one; n is one and two; X is halogen and the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof. The alkenylamines are prepared by contacting 1-cyclopropyl-1-phenyl-.omega.-amino-1-alkanols with strong mineral acids. The alkanylamines are prepared by hydrogenation of the alkenylamines. Some of the compounds exhibit potent antagonism to the depressant effects of tetrabenazine.
