Ileither of these two references describes or sug~ests the instantly claimed compounds. Each discloses isobenzofurans, not benzo(c~thiophenes. Also, the co~npounds of this invention cannot be prepared by the syntheses described in the above-mentioned prior art.

m, n and n' are integers from 1 to 3; and the sum of n and n' is 3 or 4. In the above, the modifier "lower" ~leans up to 6 carbon atoms.
Acids useful for preparing the phanmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the invention include inorganic acids such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, nitric, phosphoric and perchloric acids, as well as organic acids such as tartaric, citric, acetic, succinic, maleic, fumaric and oxalic acids.

Some coMpounds within the scope of this invention have p,reater pharmaceutical activity than others. The latter compounds are neverthelesfi desirable and useful as intermediates in the preparation of the more active compounds. Preferred compounds are those in which R is hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, especially methyl, or substituted benzoylpropyl with optimum com~ounds bein~ further limited in that the n and n' are both 2.
The compounds of the invention mav be prepared by any of several methods of preparation described below. In this description, R, Rl, R2, n, n' and m are, w th the exceptions noted as defined previously.
