The present application is divided from Application Ser.ial ~o. 558,014, filed February 3, 1988, the parent application.

; in which:
`~ - X denote~ an oxygen or ~ulphur atom; and - Ar has one of the following meanings:

*) a phenyl ring of structure:

~ ,~ Rl .

where R4 denotes an alkyl group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a phenyl ring, the addition salts of these derivatives with an organic or inorganic acid, the hydrates of these derivatives and their salts are already known from ~P-A-0,099,789.
The above derivatives of formula (It, the salts and hydrates are, however, described in EP-A-0,099,789, only in the form of their racemic mixture. In the course of studying the racemic mixture of these compounds, the applicant endeavoured to synthesize the two enantiomers corresponding ' to each racemic mixture. After overcoming the problem pre~ented by this synthesis, he studied the pharmacological properties of these enantiomers and was thus able to observe that, altogether unexpectedly, the enantiomers of absolute configuration S had a pharmacological behaviour that was very ~' different both from that of the corresponding racemic mixtures and from that of their ankipodes of absolute configuration R.
Consequently, the subject of the above parent application is the enantiomers of absolute configuration S of the above derivatives of ormula ~I), salts and hydrates.
It~ subject is, in addition, the processes for preparing these enantiomers, as well as the application of these enantiomers in therapy.

, t ~32~ ~7 The enantiomers of the parent application are valuable antiemetics as shown by clinical trials described in the parent application. The laevorotatory enantiomer of absolute configuration S of N-~3-quinuclidinyl) 4-amino-5-chloro-2-methoxybenzamide, or its addition salts with an organic orinorganic acid and the hydrates of this benzaminde and these salts is particularly preferred but the dextrorotatory enantiomer of R configuration and its derivatives was also studied.
The enantiomers according to the parent application were obtained by the resolution of racemic mixtures or by stereospecific synthesis.
The preferred stereospecific synthesis involves condensing laevorotatory 3-aminoquinuclidine of configuration S with acids defined in the parent application or with acid chlorides of a structure also defined in the parent application to produce the preferred compounds of the parent application.
Thus, the enantiomers of 3-aminoquinuclidine are useful a~ chemical intermediates in the production of pharmaceutically useful compounds, particularly compounds ~i useful as antiemetics, and the present invention provides the -' enantiomers of absolute configuration S and R of 3-aminoquinuclidine.
