IMIDE DERIVATIVES, AND THEIR PRODUCTION AND USE An imide compound of the formula: (I) wherein Z is a group of the formula: in which B is a carbonyl group or a sulfonyl group, R1, R2, R3 and R4 are each a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group, or R1 and R2 or R1 and R3 may be combined together to make a non-aromatic hydrocarbon ring or R1 and R3 may be combined together to make an aromatic ring, said non-aromatic hydrocarbon ring being optionally bridged with a lower alkylene group or an oxygen atom therein and said aromatic ring, said non-aromatic hydrocarbon ring and said lower alkylene group being each optionally substituted with at least one lower alkyl, and n is an integer of 0 or 1; D is a group of the formula: -(CH2)p-A-(CH2)q-in which A is a non-aromatic hydrocarbon ring optionally bridged with a lower alkylene group or an oxygen atom, said non-aromatic hydrocarbon ring and said lower alkylene group being each optionally substituted with at least one lower alkyl, and p and q are each an integer of 0, 1 or 2; and Ar is an aromatic group, a heterocyclic aromatic group, a benzoyl group, a phenoxy group or a phenylthio group and G is , or or Ar is a biphenylmethylidene group and G is , all of the above groups being each optionally substituted with at least one of lower alkyl, lower alkoxy and halogen; and its acid addition salts, useful as an antipsycotic agent.
