The invention was based on the object of finding novel compounds which can be used for the production of medica-ments.

It has been found that the compounds of the formula I and their physiologically acceptable acid addition salts have valuable pharmacological properties while being well tolerated. Thus, in particular, they show antiarrhythmic effects and positive inotropic effects prolonging the refractory period of the heart.

The cardiac action can be measured, for example, on anaesthetized or conscious rats, guinea pigs, dogs, cats, monkeys or minipigs, and the positive inotropic effect can also be measured on isolated heart preparations (for example atrium, papillary muscle or perfused whole heart) of rats, guinea pigs, cats or dogs, for example by methods as described in Arzneimittelforschung, volume 31 (I) No. la (1981), pages 141 to 170, or by Schliep et al. in the 9th International Congress of Pharmacol., London (1984J, Abstracts of papers 9P.

The compounds can therefore be used as pharmaceutical active substances in human and veterinary medicine. They can furthermore be used as intermediates for preparing other pharmaceutical active substances.

211837 ~
_ 7 _ part-formulae Ih and Iah to Igh which correspond to the part-formulae I and Ia to Ig but in which additionally Y
is oxygen and X is a bond.
The compounds of the formula I are moreover prepared by methods known per se, as described in the literature (for example in the standard works such as ~ouben-Wey Methoden der 0rganischen Chem~e [~ethods of Organic Chemistry], Georg-Thieme-Verlag, Stuttgart or J. March, Adv. Org. Chem., 3rd ~d., J. Wiley ~ Sons, N.Y. (1985)), specifically under reaction conditions which are known and suitable for the said reactions. It is m~reover possible to make use of variants which are known per se but which are not mentioned in detail here.

The starting materials for the claimed proce~s can, if required, also be formed in situ in such a manner that they are not isolated from the reaction mixture but immediately reacted further to give the compounds of the formula I.
. : . . ::
Some of the starting materials of the formula II and III
are known. Those which are unknown can be prepared by methods known per se. The compounds of the formula II in which Y i8 oxygen are prepared, for example, starting from compounds which corre~pond to the formula II per se but, in place of the radical -Y-Ar, contain, for example, an OH group, a reactive functionally modified OH group, Cl or Br and whose secondary N atom is blocked by a protective group known per se, by reac~ion with phenol or with a substituted derivative or with a corresponding pheno}ate under conditions as are known per se for ether ~ynthesis, but especially under the condition~ of the Mitsonubo reaction (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 104, 6876 (1982)).

Furthermore, certain compounds of the formula II (Y ~ a bond) c~n also be prepared, for example, starting from benzylpyrrolidines or -piperidines or phenylpyrrolidines or -piperidines by substitution on the aromatic system, in particular nitration, where appropriate with .:

211837~
A ~ - 8 -subsequent reduction and further derivatization.

The substituted phenyl compounds of the formula II are, as a rule, known or can easily be prepared in analogy to the known compounds.

S The reaction of the compounds II and III takes place by methods as are known from the literature for the alkylation of amines. It i~ possible for the components to be melted together in the absence of a solvent, where appropriate in a closed tube or in an autoclave. ~owever, it is also possible to react the compound~ in the pres-ence of an inert solvent. Examples of ~uitable solvents - are hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene;
ketones such as acetone, butanone; alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, n-butanol; ethers such as tetrahydrofuran (T~F) or dioxane; amides such as di-methylformamide (DMF) or N-methylpyrrolidine; nitriles such as acetonitrile, where appropriate also mixtures of these ~olvents with one another or mixtures with water.
~he addition of an acid acceptor, for example an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxide, carbonate or bicarbonate or of another alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salt of a weak acid, preferably of potassium, sodium or calcium, or the addition of an organic base such as triethylamine, dimethylaniline, pyridine or quinoline or of an excess of the amine component, may be beneficial. The reaction time depends on the condition~
employed and i5 between a few minutes and 14 days, and the reaction temperature is between about 0 and 150 normally between 20 and 130.

It is furthermore possible for the preparation of a compound of the formula I in which Y is oxygen to react a compound of the formula IV with a benzene derivative of the formula V.

Compounds of the formula IV ca~n be obtained, for example, by reacting cyclic amines such as, for example, ~ "'''"

21183~S
g piperidinols, pyrrolidinol~, prolinols or else cyclic amines which are substituted by a hydroxymethyl or halomethyl group, where halogen i8 preferably chlorine or bromine, with a phenylalkyl bromide or chloride (alkyl ethyl or propyl) or phenoxyalkyl bromide or chloride, where the aromatic system can also be substituted by one or two of the radical6 stated for Ar, so that N-alkylation takes place. - ;

The benzene derivative~ of the formula V are known as a --rule and can be prepared by the methods known per se for aromatic substitution.

The reaction of the compounds of the formula IV with those of the formula V takes place under condition~
typical for synthesizing ethers. Suitable solvents are those mentioned above for the reaction of II with III.
Likewise, the same reaction times and temperatures are suitable. Particularly preferred reaction conditions are those of the Mitsonubo reaction, using azodicarboxylic die6ter and triphenylphosphine if a compound of the formula I with Y ~ oxygen is to be prepared.

It is noteworthy that in the reaction of IV with V under "Mitsonubo conditions~ there may be a rearrangement with ring contraction or ring expansion by in each case one C atom of the cyclic A~;ne unit 80 that, for example, a 25 piperidine derivative may be produced from a pyrrolidine ~ ~;
derivative or a hexahydroazepine derivative may be produced from a piperidine derivative, or else conver~ely a pyrrolidine system'may be produced from a piperidine system.

Resulting product mixture6 of five- and six-membered rings or six- and seven-membered heterocycles can easily be separated by preparative chromatography on ~ilica gel.

Furthermore, compounds of the formula I can also be prepared by reacting benzene derivatives of the ': '~ ' :,' 211~37~

formula Va with cyclic ~m;nes of the formula VI. The compouDds of the formula Va are known per se or can be --prepared in analogy to methods known per se, for example by those of aromatic electrophilic substitution. ~ ~-Compounds of the formula VI can be prepared, for example, starting from the particular cyclic amine by etherification of the free hydroxyl group on the side chain as well a~ N-alkylation of the heterocycle, where ~ -appropriate after elimination of a necessary proteGtive group under the conditions stated above for the prepar-ation of the compounds of the formula II using those of ~-the formula III. ;~

The reaction of the compounds va with the substances of the formula VI takes place in analogy to the reaction of IV with V as stated above, although no rearrangements take place in this case.

It is furthermore possible to obtain a compound of the formula I by reducing a compound which corresponds to the formula I but contain~, in place of one or more CB2 groups, one or more reducible groups, preferably at temperatures between -80 and +250 in the presence of at least one inert solvent.

Reducible (hydrogen-replaceable) groups are, in particular, oxygen in a carbonyl group, hydroxyl, aryl-sulfonyloxy (for example p-toluenesulfonyloxy), N-benzenesulfonyl N-benzyl or O-benzyl.

It is possible in principle to convert compounts which contain only one, or those which contain two or more of the abovementioned groups side by side, by reduction into a compound of the formula I. Preferably used for this purpo6e is nascent hydrogen or complex metal hydrides, furthermore reductions with gaseous hydrogen with catalysis by transition metals.

.:, ~, -211~3~5 If nascent hydrogen i8 used a8 reducing agent~ it can be generated~ for example r by treating metals with weak acids or with bases. Thus, for examPle, a mixture of zinc with alkali metal hydroxide 801ution or of iron with S acetic acid can be used. Also guitable is the use of sodium of another alkali metal in an alcohol such as ethanol, isopropanol, butanol, amyl or isoamyl alcohol or phenol. It is furthermore poæsible to use an aluminium/
nickel alloy in alkaline aqueOus solution, where ap-propriate with the addition of ethanol. Sodium or alu-minium amalgam in aqueous/alcoholic or aqueous solution i8 also suitable for generating nascent hydrogen. The reaction can aI80 be carried out in heterogeneous phase, in which case an aqueous and a benzene or toluene phase is preferably used.

It is furthermore particularly advantageous to use complex metal hydrides such a~ LiAl~" NaB~" diisobutyl-aluminium hydride or NaAl(OC~2Q,OC~3)2H2 as well a~
diborane as reducing agents, if required with the addi-tion of catalystc such as BF3, AlC13 or LiBr. Particularlysuitable solvents for this purpose are ethers such as diethyl ether, di-n-butyl ether, ~EF, dioxane, diglyme or 1,2-dimethoxyethane as well as hydrocarbons such as benzene. Solvents primarily suitable for a reduction with NaB~, are alcohols such as methanol or ethanol, as well as water and aqueous alcohols. Reducti~n by these methods preferably takes place at temperatures between -80 and ~150, in particular between about O and about 100.
'.
The -CO- groups in the amides can be reduced to! C~z groups particularly advantageously with LiAlH, in T~F at temperatures between about O and 66.

It is furthermors possible to carry out certain reduc~
tions by using ~2 gas with the catalytic action of transition metals such as, for example, Raney Ni or Pd.
It is possible in this way, for example, to replace Cl, Br, I, S~ or, in certain case~, also OH groups by , . -. .

hydrogen. ~ikewise, nitro groups can be converted, for exam~le, by catalytic hydrogenation with Pd/~2 in ~-methanol into NH2 groups.
- ~.
Furthermore, one compound of the formula I can be con-verted by methods known per se into a different compound of the formula I.

The phenyl rings in the compounds of the formula I can, if side reactions are to be precluded, for example be chlorinated, brominated or alkylated under the conditions of Friedel-Crafts reactions by reactinq the appropriate halogen or àlkyl chloride or alkyl bromide with catalysis by ~ewis acids such as, for example, AlC13, FeBr3 or Fe, at temperatures between 30 and 150, preferably between 50 and 150, in an inert solvent such as, for example, hydrocarbons, ~F or tetrachloromethane, with the com-pound of the formula I which i8 to be derivatized.

It is furthermore possible to convert a compound of the formula I in which Ar or Ar' is substituted by N~2 by alkylation or acylation by methods which are generally customary and known for amines into corresponding com-pounds of the formula I in which Ar or Ar' is substituted by N~A or NHAc.
, .: .
A resulting base of the formula I can be converted with an acid into the relevant acid addition salt~ Acid~
suitable for this reaction are those which provide physiologically acceptable salts. Thus, it is possible to.
use inorganic acid~, for example sulfuric acid, hydro-halic acids such as hydrochloric acid or hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acids such as orthophosphoric acid, nitric acid, sulfamic acid, al30 organic acids, speci~
fically aliphatic, alicyclic, araliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic mono- or polybasic carboxylic, sulfonic or sulfuric acids, ~uch as formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, pivalic acid, diethylacetic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, pimelic acid, fumaric acid, maleic ,, :

: ' .' acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, benzoic acid, salicylic acid, 2-phenylpropionic acid, citric acid, gluconic acid, a~corbic acid, nicotinic acid, isonicotinic acid, methane- or ethanesulfonic acid, ethanedisulfonic acid, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, naphthalene mono- and -disulfonic acids and lauryl sulfuric acid.

The free bases of the formula I can, if required, be liberated from their salts by treatment with strong base3 such as sodium or potas~ium hydroxide, sodium or potassium carbonate, as long as no other acidic groups are present in the molecule.

he compounds of the formula I may have a centre of asymmetry. They may therefore result from their prepara~
tion as racemates or, if optically active starting materials are used, also in optically active form.
Resulting racemates can, if required, be resolved into their optical antipodes mechanically or chemically by methods known per se. Preferably, diastereomer~ are formed from the racemate by reaction with an optically active resolving agent. ~:~

Examples of suitable resolvins agents are optically active acids such a~ the D and L forms of tartaric acids, dibenzoyltartaric acid, diacetyltartaric acid, camphosulfonic acids, mandelic acid, malic acid or lactic acid. The various forms of the diastereomers can be separated in a manner known per se, for example by.
fractional crystallization, and the optically active compounds of the formula I can be liberated from the diastereomers in a manner known per se.
~ ~ -It is furthermore possible to separate the enantiomers by preparative chromatographic methods known per se. Silica gel is preferred as stationary phase. Particularly ~ ~
preferred mobile phases are mixtures oi'ethyl acetate and ~ -35 heptane or dichloromethane and methanol. ~

The invention furthermore relates to the use of the compounds of the formula I and their physiologically acceptable salts for the production of pharmaceutical preparations, in particular by non-chemical means. For this purpo~e they can be converted together with at least one vehicle or ancillary substance and, where appro-priate, in combination with one or more other active substance(s) into a ~uitable dosage form.

The invention furthermore relates to compositions, in particular pharmaceutical preparations, containing at least one compound of the formula I and/or one of its ~s physiologically acceptable salts. These preparations can be used afi medicaments in human and veterinary medicine.
Suitable vehicles are organic or inorganic substances which are suitable for enteral (for example oral), parenteral or topical administration and which do not react with the n~vel compounds, for example water, vegetable oils, benzyl alcohols, polyethylene glycols, ~ -~
gelatin, carbohydrates such as lactose or starch, magnesium stearate, talc, petrolatum. Tablets, coated tsblets, capsules, syrups, ~olutions, drops or suppositories are used in particular for enteral ~ :
administration, solutions, preferably oily or aqueous solutions, as well as suspensions, emulsions or implants 25 are used for parenteral administration, and ointments, -creams or powders are used for topical application. The novel compounds can also be lyophilized and the resulting lyophilizates u~ed, for example, to produce products for injection. -,, , ,:
The stated preparations can be sterilized and/or contain ancillary ~ubstances such as lubricants, preservatives, stabilizers and/or wetting agents, emulsifiers, salts to influence the osmotic pres~ure, buffer substances, colorants, flavourings and/or aromatizing substances.
They can, if required, also contain one or more other active substances, for example one or more vitamins.

~he compounds of the formula I and their physiologically acceptable salts can be used for the therapeutic treat-ment of the human or anLmal body and for controlling diseases. They are particularly suitable for the treat-ment of arrhythmias and tachycardias.

For this purpose the substances according to the inven-tion are, as a rule, administered in analogy to known substances with antiarrhythmic activity, such as aprindine, flecainide or amiodarone, preferably in dosages between about 1 and 100 mg, in particular between 2 and 20 mg per dosage unit.

The daily dosage i8 preferably between about 0.02 and 2 mg/kg of body weight. The specific doæe for each particular patient depends, however, on a wide variety of factors, for example on the efficacy of the specific compound used, on the age, body weight, general state of ~ealth, sex, on the diet, on the time and route of administration, on the rate of excretion, pharmaceutical combination and severity of the particular disorder to which the therapy applies. Oral a~inistration is 2referred.
