As acyl radicals there come into consideration radicals of carboxylic acids yielding physiologically tolerable compounds.

, . ~ ,, ~ ,,, ~7~i57 Preferable are those derived from alkanoic acids containing 1 to 18 carbon atoms, and especially 2 -to 8 carbon atoms, such, for example, as monobasic alkanoic acids such, for example, as formic, acetic, propionic, butyric, isobutyric, ~-ethylbutyric, pivalic, valeric, isovaleric, ~-ethylvaleric, trimethylacetic,

As the chemical character of the acyl group is not critical with regard to the properties of the compounds of -the invention, pro~ided that the acyl group is not toxic, there are also suitable other aliphatic and aromatic unsubstituted or substituted, mono-, di- and poly-basic carboxylic acids, saturated and unsaturated aliphatic, araliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids containing up to 18 carbon atoms, and preferably up to 8 carbon atoms.

There may be mentioned, for example, the undecyclic, dodecanoic, tetradecanoic, hexadecanoic, octadecanoic, palmitic-, 7~;7 stearlc and ~-cyclohexylpropionic acid, 2,3-, 2,4-, 2,6-, 3,4-and 3,5-dimethylbenzoic, ethylbenzoic, naphthoic, 3-me-thyl-~-naphthoic, ~-phenylpropionic, diphenylacetic and ~-naphthylace-tic acid or carbamic acids such, for example, as carbamic, phenyl-carbamic, n-butylcarbaMic, dimethylcarbamic, diethyl-carbamic and allophanic acid, or heterocyclic acids such, for example, as ~-furylcarboxylic, pyrrole carboxylic, ~-pyrrolidi-nopropionic, N-methylpyrrolidino-2-carboxylic, 6-hydroxy-indolyl-

~ 30 The compounds of the invention of the general formula ~ (I) are new compounds and have valuable pharmacological properties They exhibit central depressive, antidopaminergic, antinociceptivè

~7~;7 and anticonvulsive actions, and thus have a certain similarity to neurolep-tics such, for example, as chlorpromazine and haloperidol. However, the compounds of the invention differ from the classlcal neuroleptics in having a different kind of influence on receptor-dependent, monoaminergic feedback mechanisms (decrease or extrapyramidal side effects).
Furthermore, the compounds of the invnetion have strong i phosphodiesterase-inhibiting properties and thus influence the metabolism of cyclic nucleotides. As controlled cell growth is decisively regulated by cyclic nucleotides (Pastan et al., 1975) and cyclic nucleotides are par-tially decreased in uncontrolledly proliferating tissue (Ryan and Heidrick, 1974, Voorhees et al., 1974), the compounds are suitable for the treatment of diseases that are hyperproliferative and proceed with uncontrolled cell growth such as psoriasis, polycythaemia vera, neuroblastoma, immunological diseases such as asthma, and bronchial and throm-. boembolic diseases, in which there is a disturbance of the metabolism of cyclic nucleotides (Tateson, J.E.; Trist, D.G., Inhibition of adenosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate phosphodie-sterase by potential antiallergic compounds; Life Sci. 18, 153-162, 1976; De Gaetano, G., Pharmacology of platelet aggregation, Pharmacol Res. Commun. 7, 301-309, 1975).
The compounds of the invention may be made up in the form of pharmaceutical preparations for the treatment of the aforesaid diseases. Accordingly, the invention also provides a pharmaceutical preparation which comprises a compound of the general formula (I) in admixture or conjunction with a pharma-ceutically suitable carrier. As carriers there may be used substances known to be sui-table for enteral and parenteral application such, for example, as water, alcohol, gelatine, gum arabic, lactose, starches, magnesium stearate, talcum, vegetable oils and polyalkylene glycol. The preparations may be in solid -- S

form ~s tablets, capsules, dragees, suppositories or in liquid form as solutions, suspensions or emulsions.
The invention also provides a process for the pro-duction of compounds of the general formula (I) when a 2-amino-1-(3,4-disubstituted phenyl) ethanol of the general formula (II) ~ 4 5 in which Rl to R5 have the meanings given above, is reacted with a carboni.c acid derivative or thiocarbonic acid derivative of the general formula (III) ~5~ O=C \ ~III) in which Z and Y each represents chlorine or bromine or an imidazole radical, or represents the group OR (in which R represents alkyl, aryl, aralkyl or together represent alkylene), usually in an inert solvent in the presence of a basic catalyst, and if --desired an aralkyl group in an ether group present is subsequent-: ly split off by reduction with Raney nickel or with a noble metal catalyst or a free hydroxyl group OR2 is alkylated or converted into another radical OR2 or the ring-oxygen and/or oxygen of the 2-carbonyl group is exchanged for sulphur or, when ; 30 R3 represents hydrogen, N-acylation or N-alkylation is carried out.

The ring~closing reaction for compounds of the formula (II) may be carried out with all carbonic acid derivatives of thiocarbonic acid derivatives of the general formula (III).
The R's may be identical or different. R may represent a lower alkyl or aralkyl radical such, for example, as methyl, ethyl and benzyl. The two R's together may also represent an alkylene residue such, for example, as propylene or iso-butylene.
The solvents used are preferably inert towards the reactants. There may be mentioned, for example, ethers such, for example, as diethyl e-ther, glycol dimethyl ether or diethy-lene glycol dimethyl ether, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons such, for example, as hexane, benzene, toluene, xylene and mesitylene, but also alcohols such, for example, as methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol and also dimethyl sulphoxide, glycol monomethyl ether and diethylene glycol monomethyl ether.
The reaction is preferably carried out at a raised temperature, in the range from above room temperature to the boiling point of the reaction mixture, preferably in the range of from 60 to 200C, and especially lO0 to 160~C.
The ring-closing reaction is carried out in the presence of a basic catalyst. Suitable basic catalysts are alkali metal and alkaline earth metal carbonates and especially alcoholates such, for example, as sodium methylate and potassium carbonate.
However, there are also suitable organic bases such, for example, as pyridine, triethylamine, alkali metal and alkaline earth metal hydroxides such, for example, as sodium hydroxide, - especially when Z or Y represents halogen. When Z and Y are halogen such, for example, chlorine, the addition of a basic catalyst may be dispensed with. When Z and Y are imidazole radicals it is preferable to work at room temperature, and dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran and methylene chloride are suitable as solvents. The subsequent optional reductive split-ting off of an aralkyl group such, for example, as the benzvl ~7~57 .

group, may be carried out with any of the usual rnetal catalysts such, for example, as platinum, palladium, rhodium or nickel, either in the pure form of on carrier materials such, for example, as carbon, calcium carbonate and barium sulphate. As solvents there may be used those that are inert towards the reducing agents under the reaction conclitions. There may be mentioned, for example, organic acids such, for example, as j acetic acid and propionic acid, lower alcohols such, for example, ` as methanol and ehtanol, esters such, for example, as ethyl acetate, aliphatic, cycloaliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons such, for example, as hexane, cyclohexane and benzene.
The optional subsequent O-alkylation (R2 represents ; hydrogen) may also be carried out by methods in themselves known. The alkylation is preferably carried out with the appropriate R2-halide, -mesylate or -tosylate. As halides there are suitable chlorides, bromides and iodides. For alkylation the hydroxy-compound of the formula (II) is dissolved, for example, in a polar solvent and is heated in the presence of a base with the alkylating agent at temperatures between 30 and 150C. As bases there are suitable, ~or example, sodium hydride, potassium carbonate, alkali metal alcoholates, such as sodium ethylate, potassium butylate and potassium tertiary-butylate.
As solvents there come into consideration dimethylformamide, ; dimethylacetamide, hexamethyl-phosphoric acid triamide, acetoni-trile, dimethyl sulphoxide, tetrahydrofuran, dioxan, ketones - such, for examples, as acetone and methyl isobutyl ketone, and also alcohols such, for example/ as ethanol, butanol and tertiary-butanol.
~he exchange oE the carbonyl-oxygen or the ring-oxygen in compounds of the general formula (I) for sulphur may be -carried out by methods in themselves known such, for example, as according to Scheeren et al. Synthesis 1973, 149.

76~;7 For this purpose there is suitable, for examplc, a polysulphide such, for example, as phosphorus pentasulphide in a solvent or solvent mixture in the presence of a base. The reaction may also be carried out in a suspension. Suitable solvents or suspension media are, for example, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, glycol dimethyl ether and pyridine. As bases there are suitable, for example, sodium hydrogen carbonate and potassium carbonate. The reaction is complete after about 3 to 24 hours at 30 to 120C.
The subse~uent optional N-acylation or N-alkylation (R3 = H) may also be carried out by methods in themselves known.
hus, the amino-compound is dissolved in a polar solvent and hea-ted at 40 to 150C in the presence of a salt former with, for example, an alkyl halide or aryl halide, or acyl halide or acyl ; anhydride. As polar solvents there may be used, for example, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, tetrahydrofuran, dioxan, and also alcohols such, for example, as ethanol and butanol.
Suitable salt formers are, for example, sodium hydride, potassium carbonate, alkali metal alcoholates such, for example, as sodium ethylate and potassium tertiary-butylate. The reaction with an aryl halide, for example, iodobenzene, may also be carried out without a solvent, preferably in the presence of copper powder.
The following Examples illustrate the invention:-~ Example 1 ; 5-(3-Benzyloxy~4-methoxy-phenyl~-2-oxazolidinone.
318.4 mMol of 3-benzyloxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde are dissolved in 1200 ml of ether. A solution of 558 mMol of potas-~' sium cyanide in 300 ml of water is added at room temperature.
After cooling to 0C., 237 mMol of 2N-sulphuric acid are added dropwise to the well stirred mixture, and the reaction mixture ~ is stirred for 12 hours at room temperature. After separating the aqueous phase, the ether is washed several times with 50 ml ~7~57 of semi-saturated sodium chloride solution and dried well over calcium chloride. After ~iltering off the drying agent and subsequent washing twice with 100 ml of ether the combined organic phases, which contain crude 2-(3-benzyloxy-4-methoxy-phenyl)-2-hydroxy-acetonitrile, are used in the next stage.
In an analogous manner 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-hydroxyacetonitri]e was prepared from 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde ~ and 2-(3-cyclopentyloxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-2-hydroxyacetonitrile ; was prepared from 3-cyclopentyloxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde.
1.3 Mol of lithium aluminium hydride are suspended in portions in 1 litre of absolute ether and, while cooling and stirring well, -the ethereal solution of 2-(3-benzyloxy-4-methoxy-phenyl)-2-hydroxyacetonitrile is introduced dropwise in a manner such that only slight refluxing occurs. After stirring at room temperature overnight, there is added dropwise to the mixture, while cooling, firstly 400 ml of ethyl acetate and later 600 ml J of water. The precipitate that forms is then filtered off with suction and the residue is washed -twice with 200 ml of ethanol:
water (1:1) each time. The collecting filtrates are strongly ; 20 concentrated and taken up in 300 ml of semi-concentrated hydro-chloric acid. This solution is extracted twice with 200 ml of a ethyl acetate each time. The ethyl acetate phase is discarded, and the hydrochloric acid solution is cooled and rendered alkaline with potassium hydroxide solution (any precipitatinq aluminium salt being filtered off with suction) and extraction - by agitation three times with 400 ml of ether each time is carried out. The combined p~ganic phases are dried, concentxated after filtration, and xecrystallised from ethyl acetate.
The 2~amino-1 (3-benzyloxy 4-methoxyphenyl)-ethanol, obtained in a yield of 20~, melts at 101 to 102C.
In an analogous manner 2-amino-1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-ethanol (M.p. 80-81C., benzene) is obtained in a yield of 49%

~7657 from 2-~3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-hydroxy-acetonitrile, and 2-amino-1-(3-cyclopentyloxy 4-methoxyphenyl)-methanol (an oil) is obtained in a yield of 70~ from 2-(3-cyclopentyloxy-4 methoxy-phenyl)-2-hydroxyacetonitrile.
2-Amino-1-(3-benzyloxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-ethanol can be prepared as follows:
50 m Mol of 3-benzyloxy-~-methoxybenzaldehyde and 55 mMol of trimethylalyl cyanide are heated at 90C. with 0.567 mMol of anhydrous zinc iodide for 4 hours under nitrogen and with the exclusion of moisture. The mixture is then taken up in 15 ml of absolute tetrahydrofuran, and this solution is added drop-wise to a suspension of 60 mMol of lithium aluminium hydride in 35 ml of tetrahydrofuran. After heating the mixture for one hour at 60C, working up is carried out as described above.
After recrystallisation from ethyl acetate, 2-amino-1(3-benzy-loxy-~-methoxyphenyl)~ethanol melting at 100-102C, is isolated at a yield of 30%.
