摘要 |
The invention relates to 2-amino-7-hydroxytetralin carboxyalkyl ethers of formula <IMAGE> in which Alk represents a straight- or branched-chain alkylene group having 3 to 5 carbon atoms and R is hydrogen or a C1-C4 alkyl group, which are useful as starting materials in the synthesis of 7-substituted phenylethanolaminotetralins of formula (XII) <IMAGE> in which X represents hydrogen, halogen or a C1-C4 alkyl or trifluoromethyl group, having spasmolytic activity. The new 7-substituted phenylethanolaminotetralins (XII) as well as the intermediates in the preparation of the compounds (I), the N-protected 2-amino-7-hydroxytetralin carboxyalkyl ethers, are also claimed. |
