Substituted 2-aminomethyl-6-iodophenols

摘要

Certain substituted 2-aminomethyl-6-iodophenols and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts wherein the phenyl nucleus may be further substituted with 1 to 3 nuclear substituents are useful as antihypertensive, diuretic and saluretic agents. These products may be prepared by either iodinating a 2-aminomethyl-3,4,5-substituted phenol or hydrolyzing an appropriately substituted N-(2-hydroxy-3-iodo-4,5,6-substituted benzyl)carboxamide under either acidic or basic conditions.
