The preparation of the compounds of Formula I
; is in other respects carried out by methods which are known per se, e.g., which are described in the literature (~or example in the standard wo:rks, such as Houben-Weyl, Methoden der Org~nischen Chemie (Methods of Organic Chemistry), Georg-Thieme-Verlag, Stuttgart; and Organic Reactions, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York), and, in particular, under reaction conditions which are known and suitable ~or the mentioned reactio~s. It is also possible to utilize variants which are known per se but a.re not mentioned here in more detailO
I~ desired, the starting materials can also be 25 ~ormed in situ, in a manner whereby that they are not ! isolated ~rom the reaction mixture but are immediately reacted ~urther to give the compounds o~ Formula I.
4~L

The compounds of Foxmula I can be obtained by reacting the amines of Formula II or their salts with the compounds of Formula III.
Most of the amines of Formula II are known, and they can be prepared by methods which are known per se, for example by methylation of the anilines of the formula Ar-NH2.
In the compounds of Formulae III and V, the radical X is preferably Cl or Br. Reactive derivatives of these compounds include, in particular, the reactive esters of the alcohols of Formulae III and V (X = OH), preferably the corresponding alkylsulfonates (with alkyl of 1-6 C atoms) and the corresponding arylsulfonates (with aryl of 6-10 C atoms), for example the corres-pondiny methane-, benzene-, p-toluene- or naphthalene-l-or -2-sulfonates.
Most of the compounds of Formula III are known, and they can be prepared by methods which are known per se. Thus, 3-dimethylamino-1-phenyl-propan-1-ol 20 . can be obtained, for example, by a Mannich reaction from acetophenone, formaldehyde and dimethylamine and by subsequent reduction of the resulting ketone; 1-methyl-2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-piperidine can be obtained, for example, by N-methylation of 2-(2-hydroxy-ethyl)-piperidine; the compounds of formula III (X = Cl, Br orI) can be obtained from the alcohols with inorganic - ` ~

halides, such as SOC12, P~r3 or HI; and the sulfonates can be obtained by esterification of the alcohols with the corresponding sulfonyl chlorides.
The compounds of Formulae II and III are pre-
5 ferably reacted under N-alkylation conditions in the t presence or absence of an inert solvent, at temperatures of about 0 to about 250C, preferably of about 60 to i 180C, and under pressures of about 1 to 50 atmospheres.
Suitable solvents include J for example, hydrocarbons (e.g., hexane, benzene, toluene or xylene), ethers (e.g., diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, tetrahydro-furan (THF), dioxane or diethylene glycol dimethyl i ether), amides, e.g., dimethylformamide (DMF), sul-foxides, e.g., dimethylsulfoxide, and alcohols (e.g., methanol, ethanol, isopropanol or n-butanol). If desired, a catalyst can be present. IE starting materials of Formula III (X = Cl, Br or I) are used, it is advisable to add a base, such as NaOH, KOH, Na2CO3, NaHCO3, triethylamine or pyridine. An excess of the aniline derivative of Formula II can also serve as the base and/or solvent.
The aniline derivatives of Formula I can also be obtained by reacting compounds of Formula IV with methylating agents.
The starting substances of Formula IV tY =
-NE~-R) can be obtained, for example, by reacting anilines of the formula Ar-NH2 with compounds of the formula X-R
(III); those of the Formula IV [Y = N-methyl-N-(l-phenyl-3-amino-propyl)-amino] can be obtained by adding methylaniline derivatives of the formula Ar-NH-CE3 onto cinnamic acid nitrile and then reducing the product;
and those of the Formula IV [Y = `l~-methyl-N-[2-(2-piperidyl~ethyl~mino] can be obtained by hydrogenolysis of corresponding l-benzyl-2-piperidyl derivatives.
Methylation of the compounds of Formula IV is in general carried out at temperatures of about 0 to about 150C, preferably using formaldehyde/formic acid, and especially using about 37~ aqueous formaldehyde solution in the presence of excess formic acid at about 90 - 110C. Reductive alkylation with formaldehyde/
sodium cyanoborohydride, preferably in the presence of an inert solvent, such as THF, in a weakly acid medium at temperatures of about 0 to 40C, is equally possible; the corresponding aldehyde-ammonia, which does not need to be isolated, is probably formed as an intermediate product. Reactions with methyl chloride, bromide, iodide or ~toluenesulfon~te~ prefexabl~ unde~
the conditions mentioned above`for the N-al~ylation~ axe also suitable.
Primary amines of the formula N(CH3) CHCC6H5~ CH2 CH2 NH2 can be methylated with met~anol in the presence oE R~ney ' ~

nickel at elevated temperatures to yield the corres-ponding monomethylamines of the formula Ar-N(CH3)-CH(C6E5)-CH2CH2-NH-CH3-Those compounds of Formula I in which R is -CH(C6H5)-CH2CH2-N~CH3)-Z are furthermore accessible by reacting amines of Formula V or their reactive de-rivatives with amines of Formula ~I (methylamine or dimethylamine).
~ The starting materials of Formula V (X = OH) can be obtained, for example, from the aniline deri-vatives of the formula Ar-NH-CH3 (II) and 3-phenyl-3-chloro-propan-l-ol; compounds of Formula V (X = Cl, Br or I) can be obtained from compounds of the Formula V
(X = OH) by reaction with inorganic halides, such as SOC12, PBr3 or HI; and the corresponding sulfonates can be obtained by esteri~ication of the alcohols V (X = O~) with sulfonyl chlorides.
~ The reaction of thecompounds of Formula V with compounds of Formula VI is carried out under alkylating conditions, preferably in the presence of one of the inert solvents mentioned above, at temperature of about 20 to 140C, preerably 80 to 120C, advantageously under pressure (up to about 100 atmospheres).
The aniline derivatives of Formula I can further-more be prepared by reducing corresponding starting substances which additionally contain reducible groups and/or C-C and/or C/N double or triple bonds.

- \ ~

Among the reducible starting substances t those of Formula VII are preferred:
Ar-N(cH3)-Q VIII
' wherein Q is -CH(C6H5)-CH=CH-N(CH3)-Z, -CH(C6H5)-CH2-¦ 5 CO-N(CH3)-Z, -CH(C6H5)-CH2-CH~-N(CHO)-z~ 2-(1-methyl-
6-oxo-2-piperidyl)-ethyl or the group -CH~-CH2 ~ An ~ , wherein CH
An is an anion of a strong acid and Ar is as defined above.
The compounds of Formula VIII can be obtained, for example, by reacting anilines of the formula Ar-NH-CH3 (II) with compounds of the formula Q-X (wherein X and Q
are as defined above). Amides of the formula Ar-N(~CH3)-CH~¢6H5)-CH2-CO-N(CH3)-Z can also be obtained by amida-tion of corresponding carboxylic acid esters of the for-mula Ar-N(CH3)-CH(C6H5)-CH2-COOAlkyl (wherein alkyl is of 1 - 4 C atoms). N-formyl compounds of the formula Ar-N(CH3)-CH(C6H5)-C~2-CH2-N(CHO)-Z can also be obtained by formylation of the corresponding NH-compounds of the formula Ar-N(cH3)~cH~c6H5)-cH2-cH2-NH-z-Furthermore, for example, starting substances which correspond to Formula I but carry a benzylQxy group instead of an OH group in the radical Ar are suitable.

_9_ r The starting substances of Formula VIII and the other reducible starting substances can, for example, be converted into the compoun~s of Formula I by catalytic hydrogenation with nascent hydrogen, with complex metal hydrides or with use of other chemical reducing agents.
The reducing methods suitable for the individual starting substances in general depend on the nature of the group, those skilled in the art being familiar with them from statements in the literature. Thus, for example, it is particularly advantageous to catalytically hydrogenate quaternary pyridinium salts and olefinic compounds. In contrast, the acid amides are particularly advantageously reduced with complex metal hydrides or with diborane.
Catalysts which are suitable for catalytic hydro-genations include, for example, noble metal catalysts, nickel catalysts or cobalt catalysts, and also mixed catalysts, such as copper/chromium oxide. Suitable noble metals are, above all, platinum and palladium, which can be present on supports (for example on charcoal, calcium carbonate or strontium carbonate), in the form of o~ides tfor e~ample platinum oxide) or in finely divided form.
Nickel catalysts and cobalt catalysts are preferabl~
employed as Raney metals. Hydrogenation can preferably be carried out under pressures of about 1 to 20a atmos-25 pheres and at temperatures of about -80 to ~150~C. The hydrogenation is carried out in the presence of an inert solvent, for example an alcohol, such as methanol, ethanol or isopropanol, a carboxylic acid, such as acetic acid, an ester, such as ethyl acetate, or an ether, such as tetrahydrofuran or dioxane. It is also possible to use solvent mixtures, for example also mixtures which contain water. Hydrogenation under mild conditions, for example at temperatures of 0 to 30C and under normal pressure, is preferred.
Complex metal hydrides, such as LiAlH4, NaBH4 of 10 NaAl(OCH2CH2OCH332H2 as well as diborane can also be employed as the reducing agents, if desired with the ! addition of catalysts, such as BF3, AlC13 or LiBr.
Suitable solvents in this case are, in particular, ethers, such as diethyl ether, llHF, dioxane, 1,2~dimethoxy-ethane or diglyme, and hydrocarbons, such as benzene.
Alcohols, such as methanol or et:hanol, are above all suitable as the solvent for reductions with NaBH4. A
reduction by this method is preferably carried out at temperatures of about -80 to +150C, in particular of 20 about 20 to 120C.
Reaction with nascent hydrogen is also a suitable method of reduction. The nascent hydrogen can be pro-i duced, for example,~ by treating metals with acids or bases. Thus, for example, the systems zinc/acid, zinc/
alkali metal hydroxide solution, iron/acid or tin/acid can be used. Suitable acids include, for exa~ple, I
1, --11--~6~

h~drochloric acid or acetic acid. The reducing agent used can also be an alkali metal, e.g., sodium, in an alcohol, e.g., ethanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, amyl alcohol or isoamyl alcohol, or in phenol, and furhtermore, for example, an aluminum/nickel alloy in alkaline-aqueous or alkaline-aqueous-alcoholic solution, as well as sodium amalgam or aluminum amalgam in aqueous-alcoholic or aqueous solution. In these methods, the reaction tem-peratures are about 0 to about 150C, preferably about 20 to 120C.
Aniline derivatives of the formula Ar-N(CH3)-CH(C6H5) CH2-CH2-NH-CH3 are obtainable particularly favorably by solvolytic, preferably hydrolytic removal cf an amino-protecting group from corresponding protected compounds of Formula VII.
The expression "amino-protecting group" is quite conventional and refers to groups which are suitable for protecting, i.e~, blocking, a secondary amino group from chemical reactions, but which can be removed easily after the desired chemical reaction has been completed at other positions of the molecule. Since the amino-protecting group is removed during solvolysis, its nature and size are not critical. Preferred amino-protecting groups are acyl groups o~ preferably 1 - 20, in particular, 1 - 8 carbon atoms. The expression "acyl group" in connection with the present process is to be interpreted in the broadest sense. It encompasses acyl groups derived from aliphatic, araliphaticr aromatic, or heterocyclic car-boxylic acids or sulfonic acids, furthermore, for example, alkoxycarbonyl, aryloxycarbonyl and aralkyloxycarbonyl groups. Specific preferred amino-protecting groups are formyl, acetyl, trifluoroacetyl and benzoyl.
The starting compounds of Formula VII can be ob-tained, for example, by reaction of methylanilines of the formula Ar-NH-C~3 with compounds of the formula X-CH(C6H5)CH2-CH2-N(CH3)-W, wherein Ar, X and W are as defined above or their reactive derivatives.
The solvolytic cleavage of the compounds of Formula VII is favorably effected by reaction with a solvent such as water (hydrolys,is) or an alcohol of preferably 1 - 4 carbon atoms (alcoholysis) at temperatures~
of about O to about 120C in the presence of an acidic or`a basic catalyst, for example, a mineral acid, e.g., sulfuric or hydrochloric acidf a metal hydroxide, e.g., sodium, potassium, calcium, barium, lead or silver hydroxide, or à metal or ammonium salt, e.g., sodium or potassium carbonate or ammonium chloride. As alcohols, methanol, ethanol or isopropanol are preferably suited;
one can also use mixtures owater with one of these al-cohols. In order to solvolyze the preferred N-formyl derivatives of Formula VII (W - CHO~, a boiling aqueous-ethanolic KOH solution is preferably used.

"~

Secondary amines of the formula Ar-N(CH3)-CH(C6H5)-CH2-CH2-NH-CH3 can be methylated according to one of the above methods to yield the corresponding tertiary amines of the formula Ar-N(CH3)-CH(C6H5)-CH2-CH2-N(CH3)2, if desired.
Moreover, if desired, a phenol of Formula I (Ar =
a phenyl group substituted by an OH group) can be alkylated, a compound of Formula I (Ar = a phenyl group substituted by an alkoxy group) being obtained. Suitable alkylating agents include, for example, alkyl halides, e.g., methyl chloride, bromide or iodide, dialkyl sulfates, e.g., dimethyl sulfate, and sulfonic acid alkyl esters, e.g., methyl p-toluenesulfonate. The O alkylation is preferably carr~ed out at temperatures of about 0 to about 150C, and especially of 20 to 100C, in an inert solvent, for example, an alcohol, such as methanol or ethanol, a hydrocarbon, such as benzene, an amide, such as DMF, an ether, such as THF, or an amine, such as pyridine. If halides are used, the reaction is preferably carried out in the presence of a base, such as NaOH, KOH, triethylamine or pyridine, in which case an excess of this base can serve as the solvent.
Ethers of Formula I (Ar = a phenyl group s~bsti-tuted by an alkoxy group) can be split by methods which are known from the literature. The corresponding phenols of Formula I (Ar = a phenyl gxoup substituted by an OH

group) are thereby formed. The ether can be split, for example, by treatment with HBr or HI in a~ueous or acetic acid solution, by heating with Lewis acids, such as AlC13 or boron trihalides, or fusing the pyridine hydrohalides or aniline hydrohalides, preferably pyridine hydrochloride, at about 150 - 250C.
A resulting base of Formula I can be converted into an associated acid addition salt with an acid.
Acids which produce physiologically acceptable salts are suitable for the reaction. Thus, it is possible to use inorganic acids, for-example, sulfuric acid, hydrogen halide acids, phosphoric acids, e.g., orthophosphoric acid, nitric acid and sulfamic acid, and also organic acids, for example, aliphatic, alicyclic, araliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic monobasic or polybasic carboyxlic, sulfonic or suluric acids, e.g., formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, pivalic acid, diethylacetic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, pimelic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid, mal~ic acid, benzoic acid, salicylic acid, 2-phenylpropionic acid, citric acid, gluconic acid, ascorbic acid, nicotinic acid, isonicotinic acid, methane- or ethane-sulfonic acid, ethanedisulfonic acid, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, naphthalene-mono- and -di-sulfonic acids and laurylsulfuric acid~ If desired, thefree bases of Formula I can be liberated from their ' ' !

6~

salts by treatment with strong bases r such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate.
It has been found that the compounds of Formula I and their physiologically acceptable acid addition salts have valuable pharmacological properties. Thus, in particular, they display actions on the central nervous system, above all antidepressant actions. In detail, it is possible to demonstrate a reserpine-antagonistic action (which can be detected, for example, towards reserpine in mice in accordance with the method of Askew, hife Science, volume 10 (1963), pages 725-730);
an anticataleptic action (which can be detected, for example, towards tetrabenazine in rats in accordance with the method of Giurgea et al, Medicina Experimentalis, volume 9, (1963), pages 249-262); and an antipto~ic action (which can be detected, for example, towards reserpine in accordance with the method of Domenjoz and Theobald, Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn., volume 120 (1959), pages 450 et seq., with evaluation in accordance with the method of Rubin et al, J. Pharmaco~. Exp. Therap., volume 12~ (1957), pages 125-136). Furthermore, the action of 5-hydroxy-tryptophan in mice can be potentiated (method: similar to that of Ross et al, Acta Pharmacol. et Toxicol., volume 39 (1976), pages 152-166), and the effects, on the central nervous system, of excitation and increase in temperature which D-amphetamine sulfate (for example, 1.5 mg/kg administered subcutaneously 1 hour after the test substance, which is ]ikewise administered subcuta-neously) and aggregation ~placing 5 rats together in one glass) trigger off (method in accordance with M~ller-Calgan et al in Zippel, H. P.,(Ed.): Memory and Transferof Information, Plenum Pr~ss, New York-London, 1973, pages 87-125), can be increased and/or prolonged. The substances influence the biogenic amines of the central nervous system~ Thus, for example, they lead to an inhibition of the absorption of noradrenaline, 5-hydroxy-tryptamine and dopamine (method: Kannengiesser et al, Biochem. Pharmacol., volume 22 (1973), pages 73-84) in synaptosornes in vitro and, in vivo, they inhibit the release of catecholamine and serotonin induced in the brain by tyramine derivatives (method: Carlsson et al, Europ. J. Pharmacol., volume 5 (:L969), pages 357-366;
and 367-373). Furthermore, when a~ninistered orally to rats, the compounds antagonize the lowering in the level of serotonin caused by p-chloramphetamine (method: Fuller 20 et al, Biochem. Pharmacol. volume 27 (1978), pages 193-198~.
Spasmolytic actions which can be detected by the methocls conventional for such actions also occur.
Compounds of Formula I and their physiolo~ically acceptable acid addition salts can, therefore, be used as active compounds for medicaments and also as intermediate products for the preparation of other active compounds for medicaments.

The present invention, thus, also relates to the use of the compounds of Formula I and of their physiologi-cally acceptable salts for the preparation of pharma~
ceutical formulations, in particular by a non-chemical route.
For this, they can be brought into a suitable dosage form together with at least one excipient or auxiliary and, if appropriate, in combination with one or more other active compound(s).
This invention furthermore relates to agents, in particular pharmaceutical formulations, containing a compound of Formula I and/or one of its physiologically acceptable acid addition salts. These formulations can be employed as medicaments in human medicine or veterinary medicine. Suitable carrier substances include organic ox inorganic substances which are suitable for enteral tfor example oral) or parenteral administration or topical application and which do not react with the new compounds, or example water, vegetable oils, benzyl alcohols, polyethylene glycols, gelatin, carbohydrates, such as 2n lactose or starch, magnesium stearate, talc and petroleum jelly.
