Abstract: A process for the preparation of tertiary N,N-dimethylamines by the reaction of primary amines, formaldehyde, and hydrogen under pressure and at elevated temperature in the presence of a nickel-containing hydrogenation catalyst in the liquid phase. The hydrogenation catalyst is suspended in a solvent, the nickel concentration is 0.1 to 10% by weight, based on the primary amine. The starting materials are separate from each other, brought to 80.degree. to 150.degree. C. and 1 to 15 MPa and fed into the catalyst suspension simultaneously with stirring and reacted in one step to form the tertiary N,N-dimethylamines.

Abstract: Benzopyran derivatives of formula (I) wherein the substituents are as defined herein are provided. The compounds possess vasodilating activity and are useful in the treatment of hypertension. Pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treating hypertension are also provided.
