Sulphonylalkylamines, processes for the preparation thereof and

Abstract

The present invention provides sulphonylphenylalkylamines of the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is an alkyl radical containing up to 6 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl radical containing 3-7 carbon atoms or an aralkyl, aralkenyl or aryl radical, the aryl moiety, in each case, being optionally substituted one or more times by halogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy, hydroxyl, trifluoromethyl, cyano, nitro, amino, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkylamino, C.sub.2 -C.sub.12 dialkylamino, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 acylamino, C.sub.1 -C.sub.16 acyl or azide, R.sub.2 is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl radical containing up to 6 carbon atoms, an acyl radical or an aralkyl or aralkenyl radical, the aryl moiety, in each case, optionally being substituted one or more times by halogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy, hydroxyl, trifluoromethyl, cyano, nitro, amino, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkylamino, C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 dialkylamino, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 acylamino, C.sub.1 -C.sub.16 acyl or azide, B is an unbranched or branched alkylene chain with a maximum of 4 carbon atoms and A an alkyl or alkenyl radical containing up to 6 carbon atoms, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 formylalkyl radical, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 hydroxy-alkyl group or a radical --D--R.sub.3, in which D is a ##STR2## and R.sub.3 is a hydrogen atom, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 alkyl, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 hydroxyalkyl or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 alkylcarboxylic acid radical, as well as the pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof, the esters and amides thereof and the lactones of those compounds which contain a hydroxyl and a carboxyl group, with the exception of the compound benzene-sulphonic acid-(4-acetylphenethylamide). The present invention also provides processes for the preparation of these compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing them.
