Abstract
This invention relates to 1,3-dihydro-6-methyl-7-hydroxy-furo-(3,4-c)-pyridine derivatives of the general formula I ##STR1## wherein each of A.sub.1 and A.sub.2 independently represents various hydrocarbon groups and therapeutically acceptable addition salts thereof; to a process for the preparation of the same comprising oxidizing the secondary alcohol .alpha..sup.4, 3-o-isopropylidene-1-methyl-5-(1-hydroxy-1-A.sub.1)-methyl pyridine by any usual technique, reacting the resultant ketone with a compound of the general formula XA.sub.2 wherein X stands for Br or I in the presence of magnesium in diethyl ether at the boil and treating the resultant tertiary alcohol with an acidic agent to provoke breaking of the isopropylidene ring and 3,4-cyclisation; and to pharmaceutical compositions containing these derivatives useful for example in diuresis.
