<p>This invetation relates to 2,3-dihydro-2-benzofurancarboxamide derivatives. There are provided 2,3-dihydro-2-benzofurancarboxamide derivatives of formula (I) wherein R is a substituent at the 5-position on the 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran ring system and is a thienyl group, or a phenyl, phenoxy, benzyl or benzoyl group substituted by an alkoxy group of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a 1-hydroxyethyl group or an acetamido group, or is a substituent at the 4-position on the 2,3-dihydro-benzofuran ring system and is a phenoxy group optionally substituted by alkyl or alkoxy of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, acetamido, 1-hydroxyethyl or nitro. 2,3dihydro-2-benzofurancarboxamide derivatives of formula I have exhibited lipogenesis inhibiting activity and thus find use in animal husbandry to provide a leaner carcass after slaughter.</p> |
