The novel compounds of the invention having the Formula I above, including the free bases, the acid addition salts and the quaternary ammonium salts thereof, possess pharmacological activity. Illustratively the compounds of the invention are useful as agents for the lowering of lipid and cholesterol blood levels in mammals, including man and animals of economic value. In addition the compounds of the invention are useful as antifertility agents. For example, the compound 2.-[p-(2-diethylaminoethoxy)phenyl]-2 phenylacetophenone hydrochlon'de possesses antifertility activity when tested in mice according to the procedure of Duncan et al., Proc. Soc. Exptl. Biol. Med. 112, 439, 1963.

For purposes of administration to mammals, the novel compounds of the invention can be combined with solid or liquid pharmaceutical carriers and formulated in the form of tablets, powder packets, capsules, and like solid dosage forms, using starch and like excipients, or dissolved or suspended in suitable solvents or vehicles, for oral or parenteral administration.

In addition to their pharmacological activity, the compounds of the invention are also useful as intermediates. For example, the compounds of the Formula I can be reacted with fluosilicic acids to form the fiuosilicate salts which in dilute aqueous solution are eifective mothproofing agents as more fully disclosed in US. Patents 2,075,359 and 1,915,334.

The compounds of the invention can be prepared conveniently by the etherification of the corresponding compounds having the formula:

wherein one of the radicals X and Y represents hydroxy and the other represents hydrogen. The etherification is carried out using known procedures. For example, the compound of the Formula II is reacted with the appropriate tertiaryaminoalkyl halide NCnH uHal R2 wherein R R and C,,,H have the significance herein before defined, and Hal represents halogen. The etherification is conducted advantageously in an inert solvent such as a lower alkanol, for example, methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, and the like, in the presence of a base such as sodium hydroxide, sodium methoxide, and the like.

The tertiaryaminoalkyl halides having the formula wherein R R C H and Hal have the significance hereinbefore defined, employed in the preparation of the compounds of the invention, can themselves be prepared by halogenation of the corresponding tertiaryaminoalkanols, which tertiaryaminoalkanols in turn can be made by interaction of the requisite secondary amine R2 wherein R and R have the significance hereinbefore defined, with the appropriate haloalkanol,

wherein Hal and C H have the significance hereinbefore defined, in accordance with known methods. The condensation between the secondary amine \NI-I R2 and the haloalkanol Hal-C,,H -OH can be carried out, for example, using the procedure described by Moffett, J. Org. Chem. 14, 862, 1949. Alternatively, the desired tertiaryaminoalkanols can be prepared by heating the secondary amine R2 with the appropriate haloalkanoic acid ester, followed by reduction of the thus-produced tertiaryaminoalkanoic acid ester with lithium aluminum hydride according to the method described by Moifett, supra.

The conversion of the tertiaryaminoalkanols so obtained to the corresponding tertiaryamin'oalkyl halides can be carried out by the use of known halogenating agents such as thionyl bromide, thionyl chloride, phosphorus tribromide, phosphorus trichloride, and the like, using for example, the procedure described by Motfett et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 77, 1565, 1955.

The starting materials having the Formula II are, for the most part, known in the art and can be prepared by the methods set forth in the preparations below.

The acid addition salts of the compounds of the invention having the Formula I can be prepared by methods well known in the art. For example, the acid addition salts of the invention can be prepared by reacting a free base having the Formula I with a pharmacologically acceptable acid, as hereinbefore exemplified, in the presence of an inert solvent such as methanol, ethanol, diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, and the like.

The quaternary ammonium salts of the invention can be prepared by reacting a free base of the Formula I with a quaternating agent, for example, an alkyl halide such as methyl iodide, ethyl chloride, isopropyl bromide, and the like, an alkenyl halide such as allyl chloride, allyl bromide, and the like, a dialkyl sulfate such as dimethyl sulfate, diethyl sulfate, and the like, an aralkyl halide such as benzyl bromide, benzhydryl chloride, phenethyl bromide, and the like, or an alkyl arylsulfonate such as methyl p-toluenesulfonate, and the like. Preferably the reaction is effected by heating the reactants together in the presence of an inert solvent such as acetonitrile, acetone, methanol, ethanol, and the like. Generally speaking, the desired quaternary salt separates from solution upon cooling the reaction mixture and can be isolated by filtration. Purification of the quaternary salt can be eifected by conventional methods, for example, by recrystallization.

The anion of the quaternary ammonium salt obtained as described above can be exchanged for any other desired anion, e.g., the anions of the various acids enumerated previously, by conventional procedures. For example, any of the quaternary ammonium salts of the invention can be converted to the corresponding quaternary ammonium hydroxide, illustratively by treatment with silver oxide, and the hydroxide so obtained is reacted with the appropriate acid to obtain the desired quaternary ammonium salt.

The following preparations and examples illustrate the best method contemplated by the inventor for carrying out his invention, but are not to be construed as limiting the scope thereof.
