A small amount of an appropriate metal iodide, e. g. sodium or
potassium iodide, may be added as a reaction promotor, especially
when the reactive ester of formula (II ) is a chloride.
Somewhat elevated ternperatures are appro~3riate to enhance the

procedures, the reaction products are separated from the medium
and, if necessary, further purified by the application o methodo

An appropriately substituted 2-chloronitrobenzene of formula
(YIII ) is reacted with an appropriate aminoalkanol ( IX ) by re1uxing
the reactants together in an appropriate reaction-inert organic sol~ent
such as, or example, a lower alkanol, e. g., ethanol, 2-propanol,
butanol and the like, whereupon a ~T2-nitrophenyl)amino7alkanol
of formula (X ) is obtained, which in turn is subjected to a nitro-
to-amine reduction, e. g. by catalytic hydrogenation using Raney-
nickel catalyst. The thus obtained ~-aminophenyl)amino7alkanol of
ormula ( XI ) is then reacted with an appropriate cyclizing agent as
described hereinbefore or the preparation o the compounds ( I-c ).
starting from (V ), and the thus obtained alcohol (XII ) is subsequently
converted into the desired reactive ester ( II-a ) by the application o
r~ethodologies known in the art.

Halides are conveniently prepared by the reaction of ( XI~ i
~ith an appropriate halogenating agent such as, for ex~ample, sulfinyl
chloride, sulfuryl chloride, phosphor pentachloride, phosphor penta-
bromide, phosphoryl chloride and the like. When the reactive ester is
an iodide, it is preerably derived from the corresponding chloride

~ In view o their uscful alltieme(:ic a.ctivily, the sul~ject
compounds may be formulated into various pharmaceutical Iorms
for administration purposcs. To prepare the pharmaceutical com-
positions of this invention, an ecctive antiemctic amount ol the
particular compound, in base or acid-addition salt form, as the
active ingredient is combilled in intimate admixture with a pharma- E~
ceutically acceptable carrier, which carrier may take a wide variety G~-
of orms depending on the form of preparation desired or administration.
These pharmaceutical compositions are desirable in unitary dosage
Iorm suitable, preferably, for administration orally, rectally or by
parenteral injection. For example, in preparing the compositions
in oral dosage orm, any of the usual pharmaceutical media may be ~i
employed, such as, or example, water, glycols, oils, alcohols and
the like in the case of oral liquid preparations such as suspensions,
syrups, elixirs and solutions; or solid carriers such as starches,
sugars, kaolin, lubricants, binders, disintegrating agents and the like
in the case of powders, pills, capsules and tablets. Because of their
ease in administration, tablets and capsules represent the most c
advantageous oral dosage unit form, in which case solid pharma-
ceutical carriers are obviously employed. For parenteral compositions, -~
the carrier will usually comprise sterile ~vater, at least in large part,
though other ingredients, for example, may be prepared in which the
carrier colnprises saline solution, glucose solution or a mixture of saline
- and glucose solution. Injectable suspensions may also be prepared in ~vhich, -
case appropriate liquid carriers, suspending agents and the like may
be employed. Acid addition salts of ( I ), due to their increased ~vater
solubility over the corresponding base form, are obviously more .~
suitable in the preparation of aqueous compositions. . a '~' .
~',
It is especially advantageous to ormulate the aforementioned r
pharmaceutical compositions.in dosage unit form for ease of administra-
tion and uniormity oI dosage. Dosage unit form as used in the specifi-
. cation and claims herein refers to physically discrete units suitable as

unitary dosages, each unit containing a predetermincd quarltity of
active ingredicnt calculated to produce the dcsircd therapeutic ellcct _.

of such dosage unit forms are tablets (illcluding scored or coated
tablets), capsules, pills, powc1er pacl~ets, wafers, injectable

parts of activated charcoal and 0.2 parts of hyflo. The latter
is filtered off over hyflo and the filtrate is cooled till an
oily precipitate is formed. The oily product solidifies upon
heating for a while. The whole is allowed to cool to room
temperature and stirred for 3 hours at this temperature. The -~
product is filtered off, washed with water and dried in vacuo ~-~
