Organic nitrates, processes for their preparation and their use in the

New drugs comprising 2,3- or 3,4-diphenyl derivatives of .gamma.-nitrile-esters or the products of cyclization of the 2,3-diphenyl derivatives according to the formulae A, B and C are claimed. Process for cyclization of 2,3-diphenyl derivatives of .gamma.-nitrile-esters, new 2,3-diphenyl derivatives of .gamma.-nitrile-esters corresponding to the formulae I to VIII are claimed; new 3,4-diphenyl derivatives of the said esters coresponding to the formulae IX and X, and new 3,4-diphenylpiperidone derivatives corresponding to the specific formulae IX to XXVII are described.

Drugs comprising 2,3- or 3,4-diphenyl derivatives of

Halogen derivatives of 8-hydroxycarboxylic acids, which correspond to the formula ##STR1## (open form, in a basic medium) or to the formula ##STR2## (cyclized form, in an acid medium) in which formulae: X.sub.1 and X.sub.2 are halogen atoms, n.sub.1 and n.sub.2 are integers between 0 and 5, but, if n.sub.1 =0, n.sub.2 is different from 0, and vice versa, R is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl or aryl group, and Cation represents an ion originating from a base, or a metal ion, which is pharmaceutically compatible are suitable as antidepressants having a psychostimulant action.
