The invention concerns an isochromane derivative having the general formula I ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 is one to four substituents independently selected from hydrogen, hydroxy, alkyl (1-4 C), alkoxy (1-4 C), halogen, or CF.sub.3, or as two adjacent substituents together a methylenedioxy group;

Isochromane derivatives

An isochromane derivative having the general formula I ##STR1## in which each of R.sub.1, R.sub.2, and R.sub.3 is one to four substituents independently selected from hydrogen, hydroxy, alkyl (1-4 C), alkoxy (1-4 C), halogen, or CF.sub.3, or represents a methylenedioxy group;

The invention is dealing with antispasmodic compounds of the formula I ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 denotes H, halogen or a linear or branched C.sub.1 to C.sub.3 alkoxy or alkyl group, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 separately denote a linear or branched C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl group or R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bound form a saturated heterocyclic radical, Z denotes a linear or branched C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 alkylene group and X.sup.- denotes an anion, preferably a halogen ion, and is dealing with intermediates in the preparation of the compounds of formula I.

Hexahydrodibenzodioxane compounds and pharmaceutical compositions

The present invention is dealing with compounds of the formula: ##STR1## and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are identical or different and represent hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl or alkoxy or trifluoromethyl; R.sub.5 represents hydrogen or lower alkyl, X represents hydrogen and Y represents hydroxy, or X and Y together represent oxygen and Ar represents an optionally substituted aromatic moiety, having potent anti-bronchoconstrictor properties.
