The compounds embraced by formula I may be prepared by various methods involving well known chemical synthesis principles, among which the following have proved to be most convenient and efficient:

Method A

By reacting a compound of the formula ##STR5## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 have the same meanings as in formula I, X is chlorine, bromine, iodine, hydroxyl, acyloxy, sulfonyloxy, alkoxy, aryloxy, aralkoxy, trialkylammonium or pyridinium, and

R.sub.3 ' had the meanings defined for R.sub.3 in formula I or -CH.sub.2 -X, where X has the meanings defined above,

with an amine of the formula ##STR6## wherein R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 have the same meanings as in formula I.

Particularly preferred embodiments of substituent X in formula II are chlorine, bromine, hydroxyl, acetoxy, butyryloxy, benzoyloxy, methylsulfonyloxy, p-toluenesulfonyloxy, methoxy, ethoxy, phenoxy, trimethylammonium and pyridinium. Thus, X may be any group which, starting from a compound of the formula II, easily severs from the molecule and enables the intermediate formation of a benzyl cation.

The reaction is advantageously performed in a solvent medium, such a carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, methanol, tetrahydrofuran, benzene, toluene, ether, dioxane, tetrahydronaphthalene or an excess of the amine of the formula III, and, depending upon the reactivity of substituent X, at temperatures between -70 and +200.degree. C. However, the reaction will also proceed without the presence of a solvent medium.

In those instances where the reaction is performed with a compound of the formula II wherein X is hydroxyl and the 2-position of the phenyl ring is occupied by an acylamino substituent, the acyl moiety of this substituent can be split off during the reaction.

If X in formula II is arylsulfonyloxy, such as p-toluene-sulfonyloxy, the reaction is preferably performed at a temperature between -70 and +50.degree. C in a solvent medium, such as an aliphatic or cyclic ether.

If X in formula II is halogen, the reaction is preferably performed at temperatures between 0 and 150.degree. C, especially at the boiling point of the particular solvent medium which is employed, and advantageously in the presence of a hydrogen halide-binding agent, such as an inorganic base, especially sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide; an ion exchanger; a tertiary organic base, especially triethylamine or pyridine; or an excess of the particular amine of the formula III. In this case, if a tertiary organic base is used as the hydrogen halide-binding agent, it may simultaneously serve as the solvent medium for the reaction.

If X in formula II is acyloxy, such as acetoxy or benzoyloxy, alkoxy, aryloxy or aralkoxy, the reaction is optionally carried out in the presence of an acid catalyst, such as ammonium chloride, acid aluminum oxide or sulfuric acid, and preferably at temperatures between 0 and 200.degree. C.

If X in formula II is hydroxyl, the reaction is optionally carried out in the presence of an acid catalyst, such as sulfuric acid, hydrobromic acid, p-toluene-sulfonic acid or a lower alkanoic acid, such as propionic acid or butyric acid; it may optionally also be performed in the presence of an alkaline catalyst, such as potassium hydroxide magnesium oxide or sodium amide. In either case the preferred reaction temperature range is from 120 to 180.degree. C, and the reaction may be performed in the presence or absence of a solvent medium.

Finally, if X in formula II is trialkylammonium or pyridinium, the reaction is preferably performed in an excess of the particular amine of the formula III which serves as the solvent medium, and at a temperature between 120 and 180.degree. C. However, the reaction also proceeds in the absence of a solvent medium.

Method B

For the preparation of a compound of the formula I wherein R.sub.2 is chlorine or bromine, and R.sub.4 and/or R.sub.5 have the meanings previously defined, except alkenyl of 2 to 4 carbon atoms, by halogenating a compound of the formula ##STR7## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub. 3 have the same meanings as in formula I, and R.sub.4 ' and R.sub.5 ' have the same meanings as R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 in formula I, except alkenyl of 2 to 4 carbon atoms.

The halogenation is effected with a conventional halogenating agent, such as chlorine, bromine, bromo tribromophenate or phenyl iodide dichloride, preferably in a solvent medium, such as 50-100% acetic acid, methylene chloride or tetrahydrofuran, in the presence of a tertiary organic base, such as triethylamine or pyridine, and advantageously at a temperature between -20 and +50.degree. C. 1 mol of halogenating agent or a slight excess thereover is provided per mol of compound IV; the latter may be employed in the form of its free base or also in the form of an acid addition salt, such as its mono-, di- or trihydrochloride. If the end product obtained by this method is a hydrohalic acid addition salt of a compound of the formula I, the same may by isolated as such or further purified by way of its free base.

Method C

For the preparation of a compound of the formula I wherein R.sub.1 and/or R.sub.4 are hydrogen, by splitting off one or two protective groups from a compound of the formula ##STR8## wherein R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.5 have the same meanings as in formula I,

Y.sub.1 has the meanings defined above for R.sub.1 or is an amino-protective group which can be split off by hydrolysis or hydrogenation, and

Y.sub.2 has the meanings defined above for R.sub.4 or is an amino-protective group which can be split off by hydrolysis or hydrogenation,

provided, however, that at least one of Y.sub.1 and Y.sub.2 must be an amino-protective group.

For instance, if Y.sub.1 and/or Y.sub.2 are acyl, such as acetyl, benzoyl or p-toluenesulfonyl, trimethylsilyl or tetrahydropyranyl-(2), the removal of these protective group is effected by hydrolysis in the presence of a solvent, such as with ethanolic hydrochloric acid or aqueous-ethanolic sodium hydroxide, at temperatures between 20 and 150.degree. C, but preferably at the boiling point of the particular solvent which is used. If R.sub.3 in formula V is cyano, carbalkoxy or carbamoyl, these substituents can be simultaneously hydrolized into carboxyl by this method.

On the other hand, if Y.sub.1 and/or Y.sub.2 are benzyloxycarbonyl or benzyl, for example, the removal of these protective groups is effected by hydrogenation, such as with hydrogen in the presence of palladium as a catalyst, for example, and preferably at room temperature in the presence of a solvent, such as methanol, methanol/water or methanol/hydrochloric acid. If R.sub.4 and/or R.sub.5 in formula V are alkenyl of 2 to 4 carbon atoms, these are simultaneously reduced to alkyl; likewise, if R.sub.3 in formula V is acetyl or cyano, these substituents are simultaneously reduced.

Method D

For the preparation of a compound of the formula I wherein R.sub.3 is 1-hydroxy-ethyl, by reducing a compound of the formula ##STR9## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 have the same meanings as in formula I.

The reduction is preferably carried out in a solvent medium, such as methanol, methanol/water, ethanol, isopropanol, ether, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, at a temperature between -20.degree. C and the boiling point of the particular solvent which is used.

The reduction may be effected with a complex metal hydride, such as lithium aluminum hydride or especially sodium borohydride; or with an aluminum alcoholate, such as aluminum isopropylate, in the presence of a primary or secondary alkanol, such as ethanol or isopropanol; or with hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst, such as Raney nickel, platinum or palladized charcoal.

If the reduction is effected with catalytically activated hydrogen, and R.sub.4 and/or R.sub.5 in formula VI are alkenyl of 2 to 4 carbon atoms and/or benzyl, the alkenyl substituents are simultaneously reduced to the corresponding alkyl substituents, while the benzyl substituents are split off.

Method E

For the preparation of a compound of the formula I wherein R.sub.3 is carboxyl, by hydrolizing a compound of the formula ##STR10## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 have the same meanings as in formula I, and control

A is a functional derivative of carboxyl, such as amido, imido, alkoxycarbonyl or cyano.

The hydrolysis is advantageously performed in a solvent, such as methanol, ethanol, methanol/water, ethanol/wter, dioxane/water or water, in the presence of an acid, such as trifluoroacetic acid, hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, or in the presence of a base, such as sodium hydroxide, and at temperatures between 50 and 150.degree. C, but preferably at the boiling point of the particular solvent which is used.

If R.sub.1 in formula VII is acyl, this substituent is simultaneously split off during the hydrolysis.

Method F

For the preparation of a compound of the formula I wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen, R.sub.3 has the meanings previously defined except cyano, carboxyl, carbalkoxy, carbamoyl and acetyl, and R.sub.4 and/or R.sub.5 have the meanings defined above except morpholinocarbonyl-methyl, by reducing a compound of the formula ##STR11## wherein R.sub.2 has the same meanings as in formula I, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 have the same meanings as in formula I except morpholinocarbonyl-methyl, and

R.sub.3 has the meanings defined in formula I except cyano, carboxyl, carbamoyl, carbalkoxy and acetyl.

The reduction is advantageously performed in a solvent with nascent hydrogen, such as with sodium in ethanol; or with catalytically activated hydrogen; or with a complex metal hydride, such as with sodium borohydride in pyridine or, most preferably, with lithium aluminum hydride in ether or tetrahydrofuran. The reduction is carried out at moderately elevated temperatures. such as between 30 and 70.degree. C, or at the boiling point of the particular solvent which is used.

In those instances where methods A, B or C yield a compound of the formula I wherein R.sub.3 is cyano, this compound may be converted into the corresponding carbamoyl-substituted compound by partial hydrolysis, such as with aqueous-ethanolic sodium hydroxide.

If the above methods yield a compound of the formula I wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen and R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 have the meanings previously defined except substituents containing a reactive hydrogen atom, such a compound may, if desired, be subsequently acylated. The acylation is advantageously carried out with a reactive derivative of an acid, such as an acid halide, acid anhydride or mixed acid anhydride, or in the presence of a dehydrating agent, such as N,N'-dicyclohexyl-carbodiimide.

The starting compounds for methods A to F are either known compounds and/or may be prepared by known processes.

For example, a compound of the formula II may be obtained by reacting a corresponding toluene derivative with N-bromo-succinimide or with halogen under ultraviolet radiation; or also by reacting a corresponding benzyl alcohol with thionyl chloride; or by reacting a corresponding benzyl halide with an alkali metal salt of a carboxylic acid, an alkali metal alcoholate or alkali metal phenolate; or by halogenating a corresponding benzylammonium salt.

The benzylamines of the formulas IV, V, VI and VII may be obtained by reacting a corresponding halide with a corresponding amine.

The benzamides of the formula VIII may be obtained, for example, by reacting a corresponding isatoic acid anhydride with a corresponding amine.

The compounds embraced by formula I are organic bases and therefore form acid addition salts with inorganic or organic acids. Examples of non-toxic, pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salts are those formed with hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, lactic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, 8-chlorotheophylline or the like.

The compounds of the present invention, that is those embraced by formula I above and their non-toxic pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salts, have useful pharmacodynamic properties. More particularly, the compounds of this invention exhibit anti-ulcerogenic, secretolytic and antitussive activities, as well as a stimulating effect upon the surfactant or antiatelectasis factor of the alveoli in warm-blooded animals, such as guinea pigs, rabbits, rats and cats.

The above-indicated pharmacological activities were ascertained for the compounds of the present invention by the methods described below, and the following are illustrative results obtained for a representative number of compounds, where

A = 2-amino-3-bromo-5-carbethoxy-N,N-diethyl-benzylamine hydrochloride,

B = 2-amino-3-bromo-5-carboxy-N-cyclohexyl-N-ethyl-benzylamine hydrochloride,

C = 2-amino-3-bromo-N-cyclohexyl-N-ethyl-3-fluoro-benzylamine hydrochloride,

D = n-(2-amino-5-bromo-3-methyl-benzyl)-hexamethyleneamine dihydrochloride,

E = n-(2-amino-5-bromo-4-tert.butyl-benzyl)-morpholine dihydrochloride,

F = 5-acetyl-2-amino-3-bromo-N,N-dimethyl-benzylamine and

G = 2-amino-3-bromo-N,N-dimethyl-5-fluoro-benzylamine hydrochloride.

(1) Secretolytic Effect

The expectorant activity was tested on anesthetized rabbits and guinea pigs after oral application of 8 mgm/kg of the test compound to 6-8 animals. The increase in secretion within 2 hours was calculated from the amounts of secretion before and after application of the substance [see Perry and Boyd in Pharmakol. exp. Therap. 73, 65 (1941)].

The circulatory effect in cats was determined under chloralose-urethane anesthesia after intravenous application of 2,4 and 8 mgm/kg of the test compound (3 animals per dose).

______________________________________ Tests in guineapigs: Compound Increase in secretion Circulatory effect ______________________________________ A + 90% 2,4 and 8 mgm/kg:no change B + 81% 2,4 and 8 mgm/kg:no change C + 100% G + 84% Tests in rabbits: Compound Increase in secretion D + 72% E + 77% F + 75% ______________________________________

(2) Anti-ulcerogenic activity

The inhibiting effect of the test compounds on the formation of ulcers was determined according to the method of K.Takagi et al [Jap. J. Pharmac, 19, 418 (1969)]. The abdominal cavity of anesthetized female rats having a body weight from 220 to 250 gm was opened and the stomach was exposed. Then, 0.05 ml of an aqueous 5% acetic acid solution was injected between the muscularis mucosae and submucosa of the stomach. Thereafter, the abdominal cavity was closed again. The ulcers formed in the mucosa after 3 to 5 days were treated for three weeks by admixing the test compound in question with the food at dosage levels of 50 and 100 mgm/kg (6 animals/dose). The control animals were fed with the pulverized food only.

After treatment for three weeks the animals were killed, the stomach was removed, and the size of the ulcers was determined by measurement of their length and width. The anti-ulcerogenic activity of the test compound was determined by the size of the ulcers comparing with the control values (100%):

A peroral dosage of 50 mgm/kg of compound A produced a 52% reduction of the ulcers, and a peroral dosage of 100 mgm/kg produced a 79% reduction of the ulcers, compared with control values.

(3) Acute toxicity:

The acute toxicity of the test compounds was determined after a single application of 1000 or 2000 mgm/kg p.o., respectively, to 5 white mice each.

______________________________________ Compound Acute toxicity ______________________________________ A >2000 mgm/kg p.o. (0 out of 5 animals died) B >1000 mgm/kg p.o. (0 out of 5 animals died) C >1000 mgm/kg p.o. (0 out of 5 animals died) D >1000 mgm/kg p.o. (0 out of 5 animals died) E >1000 mgm/kg p.o. (0 out of 5 animals died) F .about.1000 mgm/kg p.o. (2 out of 5 animals died) G >1000 mgm/kg p.o. (0 out of 5 animals died) ______________________________________
