Certain novel 1-(substituted-alkyl)-3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)piperidine compounds, and the pharmeceutically-acceptable acid-addition salts thereof, possess pharmaceutical activity as neuroleptic agents, and they are useful for treating psychotic disorders, e.g. schizophrenia, in human subjects. In particular, they are useful for alleviating such symptoms as anxiety, agitation, excessive aggression, tension and social or emotional withdrawal in psychotic patients. Certain 3-(3-methoxyphenyl)piperidine compounds are useful as chemical intermediates to the aforementioned neuroleptic agents.
