[98]

The compounds according to the invention in which >A-Β- is

[99]

>C(OH)-CTR1)H-

[100]

can be prepared by reacting a compound cor responding to the general formula

[101]

f Re X-C0-CH-CH2-N~C CH-X

[102]

Rftfi

[103]

in which X’ represents a 3-thienyl radical optionally substituted by one or more lower molecular weight alkyl groups, with a corresponding phenyl metal compound or by reacting a compound, of formula. II in which X 65 represents die group

[104]

with a. corresponding thienyl metal compound the phenyl metal .compound has the formula

[105]

and the thienyl metal compound has the formula

[106]

where Μ is an alkali metal atom or MgHal where-Hal is -Cl, -Br or -I, Compounds 75 of general forumla I in which 5 A-Β- is >C(OH)-CH(R3}-,

[107]

may be converted into the corresponding imsaturated compounds in which > A-Β- is

[108]

>C-Qll1)- 80

[109]

by the action of a dehydrating agent. The basic compounds obtained may optionally be converted into their add addition salts.

[110]

The. process in which a ketone of general formula II Is reacted with an organometallic 85 compound, preferably with a thienyl lithium or thienyl Grignard compound or with phenyl lithium or-a phenyl Grignard compound, is best carried out at a temperature in the range from -40. to + 100°C. Examples of suitable 90 solvents for this reaction indude dialkyl ethers, tetrahydrofuran, hydrocarbons and benzene.

[111]

Only 1 mol of organometallic compound is required for the actual reaction, although a 95 suitable excess is always necessary in cases where the compound II Used contains an active hydrogen atom e.g. as in an amino group or a hydroxyl group. Generally, however, it is advisable in many cases to employ 100 an excess of organometallic compound because it is possible in this way to obtain better yields.

[112]

The elimination of water from compounds in which A-Β- is

[113]

>C(OH)-℮Η(Β1)- 105 is best carried out at devated temperatures,

[114]

for example at a temperature in the range from 20 to. 150QC. It is preferred to use solvents such as glacial acetic acid, benzene or dioxan for this reaction..

[115]

Examples of suitable dehydrating agents include mineral adds such as sulphuric add and the hydrohalic acids; organic acids such as oxalic acid and formic acid; zinc chloride, tin chloride, boron trifluoride; potassium hydrogen sulphate; aluminium chloride; phosphorus pentoxide; aluminium oxide; acid chlorides; and red. phosphorus+iodine in the presence of water.

[116]

Any alkoxy groups present may optionally be split up into hydroxyl groups during dehydration. More precisely, this is governed by the dehydrating agent used and also by the conditions mider which the dehydrating reaction is carried out.

[117]

Those compounds, which contain asymmetric carbon atoms and1, which usually accumulate in the form of racemates, can be split up into the optically active isomers or stercoisomeric forms, for example by means of reaction with an. optically active acid. It is also possible, however, to employ optically active or even stereoisomeric starting materials from the outlet, in which case a corresponding pure optically active form or diastereomeric configuration is obtained as the end product.

[118]

Suitable anions for the salts include the therapeutically usable acid radicals of the kind normally used for this purpose.

[119]

The compounds according to the invention are pharmacologically active and increase above all peripheral and cerebral blood flow. They are therefore suitable for increasing the flow of blood both through the brain and through the muscles.

[120]

Accordingly, the compounds according to the invention are suitable for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions and preparations. The pharmaceutical compositions or medicaments contain, as active ingredient, one or more of the compounds according, to the invention, optionally in admixture with other pharmacologically active substances. The medicaments may be prepared using conventional pharmaceutical excipients and additives. The medicaments may be administered enterally, parenterally, orally, perlingually or in the form of sprays.

[121]

The dose for humans is usually between 1 and 100 mg of active ingredient once or several times a day. It can be administered in the form of tablets, capsules, pills, lozenges, suppositories, liquids or aerosols. Examples of suitable liquids include oily or aqueous solutions or suspensions, emulsions, and injectable aqueous or oily solutions ort:suspensions. Thus the present invention also:, provides a pharmaceutical composition- containing at least one compound according to the invention together with at least one other pharmaceutically active substance and/or at least one pharmaceutical excipient.
