The invention provides novel 2-methoxy-benzamide derivatives of the formula: ##STR1## in which n is 1 or 2; R.sub.1 represents a cycloalkyl-alkyl radical of formula: ##STR2## a phenylalkyl radical of formula ##STR3## (in which m is an integer from 2 to 5, A is a linear or branched alkylene chain of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and R.sub.4 is hydrogen, halogen, especially fluorine or chlorine, trifluoromethyl, or alkyl or alkoxy of 1 to 3 carbon atoms), CNCH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --, CH.tbd.C--CH.sub.2 --, ##STR4## R.sub.2 is either chlorine, SO.sub.2 R.sub.5 (in which R.sub.5 is alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms), or SO.sub.2 NR.sub.6 R.sub.7 (in which, R.sub.6 and R.sub.7, which are identical or different, represent, independently of one another, hydrogen or alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms); and R.sub.3 is hydrogen or alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms; in the form of racemates or optical isomers, and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts, which are useful in the treatment of psychosomatic and psychotic disturbances.

Compounds of the formula: ##STR1## in which X.sub.1, X.sub.2 and X.sub.3, which are identical or different each represent hydrogen, halogen, methyl, or methoxy, n represents an integer from 1 to 10, and R represents hydroxyl, OM, NH.sub.2, NH(CH.sub.2).sub.3 --COH, --NH(CH.sub.2).sub.3 --COOM, (where M represents an alkali metal atom), NH(CH.sub.2).sub.3 --COOC.sub.2 H.sub.5, NH-cycloalkyl, NH-phenyl, NH-benzyl (where the benzyl radical is unsubstituted or substituted by halogen or trifluoromethyl), NH-alkyl, N(alkyl).sub.2 and N-(alkyl)-(benzyl), the aforesaid alkyls being straight or branched and having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms and the aforesaid cycloalkyls having from 3 to 6 carbon atoms, except that when X.sub.1 and X.sub.3 are both hydrogen, n is 1 and R is OH, X.sub.2 is not chlorine in the 5-position are useful in the treatment of epilepsy by oral or parenteral administration.
