The preparation of the pre~ent derivatives by reductLve
aminations of the protected (ADTN) i8 carried out with the appro-
priate ketones and aldehydes.
Generally, in the preparation of the present derivatives,
there is, initially, a ~olution of 2-amino-6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-
tetrahydronaphthalene (VI) in dry methanol is treated with the
appropriate ketone or aldehyde and NaCNBH3 under a nitrogen at-
mosphere. The mixture is then stirred for 72 hours whereupon
concentrated HCl is added dropwise until the mixture becomes
acidic. The methanol i8 removed on a rotary evaporator and the
mixture is extracted with ether. The aqueou~ mixture is made
basic to a pH greater than 12.0 with ~olid KOH and the mixture
is extracted with ether. The combined extracts are dried (MgSO4)
and the ~olvent i~ removed on a rotary evaporator. The products
are dissolved in CHC13 and hydrogen chloride is bubbled in the
solvent removed on a rotary evaporator. The products are
crystallized in isopropanol and then isolated.

EXANPLE IV
I-notr~e~c, ChrohotroPic and Prèssor/Depressor Activities
The following tests were conducted:
In anesthetlzed, open-chested dogs, instrumented with
a Walton-Brodie strain gauge to measure cardiac contractile
force, a ventricular catheter to measure left ventricular dP/dt
and an aortic catheter to measure diastolic blood pressure and
heart rate. Contractile force and L.V. dP/dt are indices of
cardiac contractility and provide information on the inotropic
state of the heart. The experimental standard drugs are com-
pared by normalizing pressor/depressor and heart rate responses
to a given inotropic effect. Cardioselective inotropic-~agents
will produce minimal diastolic pressure changes for any given
inotropic effect. Likewise, inotropic selective agent4 will
produce minimal heart rate changes for any given inotropic
effect.
