The term "loweralkyl" as used herein refers to
straight or branched chain alkyl radicals containing from
1 to 6 carbon atoms including but not limited to methyl,
ethyl, _-propyl, iso-propyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl,

The term "loweralkoxy" as used herein refers
to straight or branched chain alkyl radicals containing
from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, attached to an oxygen atom.
The term "halo" as used herein refers to chloro,
bromo, fluoro and iodo.
The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salts"
includes non-toxic acid addition salts of the compounds of
Formulas II or III which are generally prepared by reacting
the free base with a suitable organic or inorganic acid.
Representative salts include the hydrochloride~
hydrobromide, sulfate, b~sulfate, acetate,
oxalate, valerate, oleate, palmitate, stearate,
laurate, bora~e, benzoate, lactate, phosphate, tosylate,
citrate, maleate, fumarate, succinate, tartrate, napsylate,
and like salts. Also included are metallic salts such
as the sodiu~ or potassium salt of the acid.
The present compounds may be administered to
warm-blooded animals orally or parenterally. They can
generally be adminiskered with a pharmaceutical carrier.
The term "pharmaceutical carrier, 1I for the purpose of the
present invention, is intended to refer to any medium that
is suitable for the preparation of a dosage unit form,
and thus includes the tablet medium or a pharmaceutically
acceptable vehicle or solvent such as is ordinarily used in
the preparation of intravenous or intramuscular solutions.
A pharmaceutical composition containing the com-
pound can be administered to warm-blooded animals in
parenteral or oral dosage form. For oral administration,
amounts of from about 0.1 to 200 mg/kg per day per patient
are useful, with the total dose of about 3 gms. per day
being a suitable range for large animals, including humans.
The whole dosage range described increases the total
urinary excretion from about 2 to about 10 fold in most
animals. From these figures, it is apparent that the new
diuretic compounds are particularly effective in increasing
urinary excretion in most animals.

For all dosage forms, the above exemplified
compounds can be placed in capsules, formulated into
pills, wafers or tablets in conventional fashion together
with pharmaceutical carriers well known in the art
Tablets may be prepared for immediate release of the
active compound or they may be made enteric, i.e.,
whereby the active ingredient is released slowly over
a period of several hours from within the intestinal
tract.
In order to illustrate the manner in which the
above compounds may be prepared and the properties of the
compounds, reference is made to the followin~ examples,
which, however, are not meant to limit or restrict the
scope of the invention in any respect
The following is a general procedure for the
preparation of mono and bis dialkylaminomethyl derivatives of
2,3-dichloro-4-(4'-hydroxybenzoyl)phenoxyacetic acid.
2,3-Dichloro-4~4'-hydroxybenzoyl)phenoxyacetic
acid, prepared as described in U.S. Patent 4,058,559,
issued November 15~ 1~77, is slurried with ethanol
(l.l /mole of acid). 2 Moles of secondary amine is added
to the slurry in one portion. The reaction mixture is
stirred to give a solution to which is added a mixture
of 1 mole formaldehyde and 2 moles secondary amine if
"mono" product is desired. 2.5 Moles formaldehyde and
3 moles secondary amine is added if the "bis" product is
desired. The reaction mixture is heated to reflux for 16
to 24 hours, cooled to give product. If product does not
precipitate, the reaction solution is concentrated in vacuo
to give a glass. The glass is taken up in water, made acid
(pH about 4), to give a solid on standing. The crude solid
- is recrystallized from a suitable solvent to give product.

hydroxybenzoyl)-phenoxyacetic acid, 34.5 g. (0.75 mole)
S of ethanol, and lO0 ml. of ethylene dichloride, using
3.5 ml. of sulfuric acid as the catalyst were mixed and
refluxed with stirring overnight according to the pro-
cedure of Clinton and Laskowski, J.A.C.S. 70 3135, 1948.
The acid gradually went into solution. The reaction
layer was cooled, separated and the organic layer washed
successively with water, twice with KHCO3 solution and
finally with water. The dried ethylene dichloride was
evaporated to dryness to give an oil which solidified to
give 86 g. crude ester on trituration with pentane ana
filtering; m.p. 127-9 (93~ yield). This material was
used without further purification in subsequent experi-
ments.

9.2 g. (Q.025 mole) of ethyl 2,3-dichloro-4-(4'-hydroxybenzoyl)~
phenoxyacetate was treated with 2.5 g. (0.03 mole)
of SO2C12. The mixture was heated on a steam bath at
reflux for 6 hours. The solvent was removed to give a
white solid. This was collected with the aid of ether to
give 8.5 g. of a solid; m.p. 135-40. Recrystallization
with tolene with Darco* gave 4.5 g of the product; m.pO

filtered, washed with water, and hydrolysed by heating
with 30 ml. of 10% hydrochloric acid for 21 hours. After
cooling to room temperature, the product was collected;
yield 3.54 g. The ethyl ester was obtained by passing
hydrogen chloride to a stirred suspension of the above
acid (3.54 g.) in refluxed for 3 hours. After cooling,
the ethyl ester hydrochloride was filtered and recrystal-
lized from ethanol; m.p. 231-233(dec.)

The diuretic activity of the compounds of
the invention was established in normotensive rats. In
this test, male nOrmotensivQ rats (Sprague-Dawley),
weighing 275-375 grams are used. Groups of eight rats
are used for each dose level.
The test drug or contxol (suspension vehicle)
is administered orally ~via gavage) to each animal and
immediately thereafter the animal is administered saline
via oral catheter with 0.9% sal:ine equivalent to 5~ of
the animal's body weight. The animals are then placed in
individual stainless steel met~olism cages, No food or
water is given to the rats during the test. Urine volume
is measured and recorded and a sample is collected at
intervals of 2 hours and six hours after dosing.
When dose ranging studies are done the urine
volume is read and recorded at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 24
hours after administration.
Each test compound, control or dose of test com-
pound is tested in eight animals. As a control, the sus-
pension vehicle is given ~0.5% methylcellulose)in a volume of2 ml./kg. body weight.
Drugs are dissolved or suspended in 0.5~methylcellulose
so that the appropriate dose is present in 2 ml./kg. body
weight. For routine screening a dose of 100 mg.~kg. po
is typically employed.
For convenience, t~e compounds tested are identi-
fied in Table I with the urine volume obtained at each
dose level of compound administered being recorded in
Table II.
