Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

The invention relates to a new process for the preparation of benzylamine derivatives having interesting pharmacological properties, in particular a secretolytic and antitussive activity as well as a stimulating effect on the production of the surfactant or antiatelectasis factor of the alveoli. The new process comprises the reaction of certain benzylamine derivatives with appropriate amines whereby amino group interchange occurs. Examples of the preparation of certain of the new benzylamine derivatives by means of the new process are given.

The reaction is preferably carried out in the presence of an `
excess of the compound of formula III used, which excess serves as solvent.
The reaction may with advantage be effected in the presence of a catalytic quantity of an acid such as hydrochloric or sulphuric and in the presence of a metal salt or iodine. The reaction temperature used is in general con-veniently in the range from 0 to 180C, preferably however from 100 to 160C.
