together form a bond but R4 stands for hydrogen, and their
salts and acid addition salts, tautomers and optical
isomers, a process for their preparation, their use and
preparations which contain these compounds.
For the sake of simplicity, the compounds accord-
ing to the invention are defined in only one tautomeric
form represented by formula I. However, the invention
extends to all tautomeric forms of the compounds.
Although pharmaceutically tolerable salts and
acid addition salts of the novel compounds of the formula
I and their tautomeric forms are preferred, all salts are
within the field of the invention. All salts are useful
for the preparation of the compounds, even if the speci-
fic salt is only desired as an intermediate, such as, for
example, if the salt is formed only for the purposes of
purification or identification, or if it is used as an
intermediate in the preparation of a pharmaceutically
tolerable salt, for example by an ion exchange procedure.
Compounds of the general formula I and their
salts and acid addition salts contain asymmetric carbon
and sulphur atoms. The invention therefore also relates
to the various optical isomers and diastereomers. The
racemates can be separated into their optical antipodes
by methods which are known per se.
The invention also relates to the novel compounds
of the formulae II, III and IV

The compounds of the formula I according to the
invention~ their physiologically tolerable salts and acid
addition salts and their tautomers and optical isomers
are therapeutic active compounds, have a ~ery good
pharmacological action and are useful medicaments. In
particular, they show vasodilating and vascular
spasmolytic, in particular broncholytic action, it being
possible for the vascular spasmolytic action to develop
in the entire vascular system or else more or less
isolated in prescribed vascular areas such as cerebral,
coronary or peripheral vessels.
The compounds according to the invention in
particular have hypotensive action and can thus be used
as antihypertensive agents.
The substances according to the invention are
distinguished by a considerable lowering of the arterial
blood pressure. Dosas of 0.01 - lO mg/kg p.o. lead to a
lowering of the blood pressure by at least 20 % in
hypertensive rats.
The substances according to the invention are
distinguished by a particular influence on the potassium
ion circulation in the cells7 In particular, they are
potassium channel activators~ They are suitable for the
prophylaxis and for the treatment of the following
disorders in mammals, in particular the human:
1. high blood pressure, in particular high ~rterial
blood pressure,
2. cardiac insufficiency, coronary insufficiency,
angina pectoris,

- 24 - X(~ 3~2
3. obstructive arterial disease and peripheral circu-
latory disturbances,
4. cerebral insufficiency, migraine, vertigo, disorders
of the inner ear or the hearing apparatus,
5. elevated internal ocular pressure, glaucoma, weak-
ness of vision,
6. renal insufficiency, organic disorders of the
efferent urinary passages and the accessory glands
of the urinary passages, potency disturbances,
7. organic disturbances of the gastrointestinal tract
and also the pancreas and liver,
8. deficient circulation of the scalp, hair loss,
9. disorders of the airways, including bronchial
asthma,
10. metabolic disorders,
11. spasmogenic disorders of the uterus,
12. incontinence.
Furthermore, the compounds according to the
invention promote the circulation of the scalp and hair
growth. They are also tocolytically active.
The compounds according to the invantion have a
long duration of action accompanied by only minor tox-
icity. They are therefore suitable in particular for the
treatment of acute and chronic cardiac diseases, for the
therapy of high blood pressure, cardiac insufficiency and
also for the treatment of asthma and cerebral and peri-
pheral circulatory disturbances.
The compound~ of the present invention may be
used in the human orally or parenterally in a dosage of
0.001 to 100 mg, preferably 0.01 to 50 mg, particularly
preferably 0.05 to 10 mg per day, particularly also in
subdivided doses, for example twice to four times daily.
These dosages are advantageous for the treatment of the
diseases previously mentioned, in particular cardiac
diseases, hypertension, asthma and circulatory disturban-
ces.
In general, it has proved advantageous on intra-
venous administration to administer amounts of about
0.001 to 10 mg, preferably about 0.05 to 5 mg, to the
, - ~ , .~ . ` .

human per day to attain effective results. On oral
administration, the dosage is about 0.05 to 30 mg,
preferably 0.1 to 10 mg per day in the human.
The dosages previously mentioned are particularly
preferred for the treatment of hypertonia.
In spite of this it may be necessary to depart
from the amounts mentioned, in particular depending on
the body weight or the type of the administration route,
but also because of the individual behaviour towards the
medicament or the manner of its formulation and the point
in time or interval at which the administration takes
place. Thus, in some cases it may be sufficient to manage
with less than the minimum amount previously mentioned,
whereas in other cases the upper limit mentioned must be
exceeded. In the case of the administration of larger
amounts, it may be advisable to divide these into a
number of individual doses over the day.
The invention also relates to the compounds
according to the invention for the treatment of the
preceding diseases and methods for the treatment of these
diseases in which these compounds are used and also their
use in a method for the production of agents which
contain these compounds, for the treatment of these
diseases and methods for the preparation of the
compounds.
According to the invention, pharmaceutical
preparations or compositions are provided which contain
one compound according to the invention or its pharma-
ceutically tolerable salt or acid addition salts together
with a pharmaceutically tolerable diluent or excipient.
The compounds according to the invention can be
mixed with the customary pharmaceutically tolerable
diluents or excipients, and, if appropriate, with other
auxiliaries and, for example, administered orally or
parenterally. They may preferably be administered orally
in the form of granules, capsules, pills, tablets, film
tablets, coated tablets, syrups, emulsions, suspensions,
dispersions, aerosols and solutions as well as liquids or
parenterally in the form of solutions, emulsions or

- 26 - 2C533~2
suspensions. Preparations to be administered orally may
contain one or more additives such as sweeteners, fla-
vourings, colourants and preservatives. Tablets may
contain the active compound mixed with customary pharma-
ceutically tolerable auxiliaries, for example inertdiluents such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate,
lactose and talc, granulating agents and agents which
promote the disintegration of the tablets on oral admini-
stration such as starch or gelatin, lubricants such as
magnesium stearate, stearic acid and talc.
Suitable excipients are, for example, milk sugar
(lactose), gelatin, maize starch, stearic acid! ethanol,
propylene glycol, ethers of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol
and water.
Examples of auxiliaries which may be mentioned
are: ~
Water, non-toxic oxganic solvents, such as
paraffins (for example mineral oil fractions), vegetable
oils (for example groundnut/sesame oil), alcohols (for
example ethyl alcohol, glycerol), glycols (for example
propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol), solid excipients,
such as, for example, ground natural minerals (for
example kaolins, aluminas, talc, chalk), ground synthetic
minerals (for example highly disperse silica, silicates~,
sugars (for example sucrose, lactose and dextrose),
emulsifiers (for example polyoxyethylene fatty acid
esters, polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers, alkylsul-
phonates and arylsulphonates), dispersants (for example
methylcellulose, starch and polyvinylpyrrolidone) and
lubricants (for example magnesium stearate, talc, stearic
acid and sodium lauryl sulphate).
The formulations are prepared, for example, by
extending the active compounds with solvents and/or
excipients, if appropriate using emulsifiers and/or
dispersants, it being possible, for example, in the case
of the use of water as a diluent to use, if appropriate,
organic solvents as auxiliary solvents.
Administration is carried cut in a customary
manner, preferably orally or parenterally, in particular

~ C5~3~i2
- 27 -
perlingually or intravenously. In the case of oraladministration, tablets may of course also contain
additives, such as sodium citrate, calcium carbonate and
dicalcium phosphate together with various additives, such
as starch, preferably potato starch, gelatin and the like
in addition to the excipients mentioned. Furthermore,
lubricants such as magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl
sulphate and talc may additionally be used for tableting.
In the case of aqueous suspensions and/or elixirs, which
are intended for oral administration, various flavour
enhancers or colourants may be added to the active
compounds in addition to the abovementioned auxiliaries.
In the case of parenteral administration, solu-
tions of the active compounds using suitable liquid
excipients may be employed.
The tablets can be coated by known procedures in
order to delay disintegration and absorption into the
gastrointestinal tract, as a result of which the activity
of the active compound may be extended over a relatively
long period of time. Similarly, in the suspensions, the
active compound may be mixed with auxiliaries which are
customary for the preparation of such compositions, for
example suspending agents such as methylcellulose,
tragacanth or sodium alginate, wetting agents such as
lecithin, polyoxyethylene stearate and polyoxyethylene
sorbitan monooleate and preservatives such as ethyl
parahydroxybenzoate. Capsules may contain the active
compound as a single constituent or mixed with a solid
diluent such as calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or
kaolin. The injectable preparations are likewise formu-
lated in a manner known per se.
The pharmaceutical preparations may contain the
active compound in an amount from 0.1 to 90 per cent by
weight, in particular 1 to 90 per cent by weight, i.e. in
amounts which are sufficient in order to achieve the
dosage range indicated, the remainder being an excipient
or additive. In respect of preparation and adminiætra-
tion, solid preparations such as tablets and capsules are
preferred. Preferably, the preparations contain the

active compound in an amount from 0.05 to 10 mg.
The invention further relates to a process for
the preparation of the compounds of the formula I and
their salts, which is characterised in that a 3,4-oxi-
ranyl-2H-benzo[b]pyran of the formula II
RE ~ R 2 (I~
Rl '
in which
R~, R2 and R5 have the meaning given for formula I, is
reacted with a compound of the formula V
R5-H (V)
in which R5 has the meaning given for formula I, or with
one of its reactive derivatives and/or in that a compound
of the formula I, in which R3 denotes OH and R4 denotes ~,
is dehydrated and/or in that in a compound of the formula
I, one or more of the radicals R3, R5 and/or R6 are con-
verted into other radicals R3, R5 and/or R6 and/or in thata basic compound of the formula I is converted into one
of its acid addition salts by treating with an acid.
The compounds of the formula I are otherwise
prepared by methods known per se, such as are described
in the literature (for example in the standard works such
as ~ouben-Weyl, Methoden der organischen Chemie ~Methods
of Organic Chemistry), Georg-Thieme-~erlag, Stuttgart;
Organic Reactions, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York; and
the abovementioned patent applications), and under
reaction conditions which are known and suitable for the
reactions mentioned. Use can also be made in this case of
variants which are known per se but which are not men-
tioned here in greater detail.
If desired, the starting substances can also be
formed in situ by not isolating them from the reaction

mixture, but immediately reacting them further to give
the compounds of the formula I.
The compounds of the formula I are preferably
prepared by reaction of compounds of the formula II with
compounds of the formula V, expediently in the presence
of an inert solvent at temperatures between about 0 and
150.
One starting substance of the formula II is
known. The preparation of the starting substances II
according to the invention is described in the following.
The starting substances V are as a rule known. If
they are not known, they can be prepared by methods which
are known per se.
Suitable reactive derivatives of V are the
corresponding salts, for example the Na or K salts, which
can also be formed in situ.
It is expedient to work in the presence of a
base. Suitable bases are, for example, alkali metal or
alkaline earth metal hydroxides, hydrides or alternative-
ly amides such as NaOH, KO~, Ca(OH)z, NaH, KH, CaH2,NaNH2, KNH2, and furthermore organic bases such as tri-
ethylamine or pyridine, which can also be used in an
excess and then simultaneously serve as the solvent.
The reaction is particularly advantageously
carried out in an inert solvent in the presence of
quaternary organic ammonium compounds, such as, for
example, trimethylbenzylammonium hydroxide.
Suitable inert solvents are in particular
alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol,
n-butanol or tert-butanol; ethers such as diethyl ether,
diisopropyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane; glycol
ethers such as ethylene glycol monomethyl ether or
ethylene glycol monoethyl ether (methyl glycol or ethyl
glycol), ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (diglyme);
ketones such as acetone or butanone; nitriles such as
acetonitrile; nitro compounds such as nitromethane or
nitrobenzene; esters such ac ethyl acetate; amides such
as dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylacetamide or hexa-
methylphosphoramide; sulphoxides such as dimethyl

sulphoxide (DMS0); chlorinated hydrocarbons such as
dichloromethane, chloroform, trichloroethylene, 1,2-
dichloroethane or carbon tetrachloride; and hydrocarbons
such as benzene, toluene or xylene. Mixtures of these
solvents with one another are furthermore suitable.
The epoxide II can also be prepared in situ, for
example by the action of a base on the corr~sponding
bromohydrin III.
A compound of the formula I in which R3 = OH
and R4 = H can be converted into a compound of the formula
I in which.R3 and R4 together denote a bond by treating
with a dehydrating agent. This is carried.out, for
example, by the action of one of the bases indicated, for
example NaH, in one of the solvents indicated, for
example DMS0, at temperatures between 0 and 150.
Compounds of the formula I in which R3 and R4
together denote a bond.can also be obtained, if desired,
directly, i.e. without isolation of compounds of the
formula I in which R3 denotes hydroxyl and R4 denotes
hydrogen, from oxiranes of the formula II and compounds
of the formula V by means of an excess of one of the
abovementioned bases, such as NaH in one of the solvents
indicated, preferably at elevated temperature. Mixtures
of benzopyran-3-ols and benzopyrans of the formula I
which may be obtained can be separated by customary
purification methods, such as crystallisation or chroma-
tography.
In some cases, it may be advantageous first to
convert the corresponding hydroxy compound by customary
methods into a corresponding alkyl- or arylsulphonate, in
particular a mesylate, brosylate or tosylate, and then to
produce the desired benzopyran of the formula I in wh~ch
R3 and R4 denote a bond by the action of bases, such as,
for example, triethylamine.
Furthermore, in a compound of the formula I it is
possible to convert one or more of the radicals R3, R5
and/or R6 into other radicals R3, Rs and/or R6.
For example, it is possible to replace an H atom
by a halogen atom by means of halogenation or by a nitro

- - 31 - 2C~;3~3~2
group by means of nitration and/or to reduce a nitro
group to an amino group and~or to oxidise a difluoro-
methylthio, trifluoromethylthio, trifluoroethylthio
and/or difluoromethylsulphinyl, trifluoromethylsulphinyl
or trifluoroethylsulphinyl radical and/or to reduce a
difluoromethylsulphonyl, trifluoromethylsulphonyl,
trifluoroethylsulphonyl and/or difluoromethylsulphinyl,
trifluoromethylsulphinyl or trifluoroethylsulphinyl
radical and/or to alkylate or acylate an amino or hydroxy
group and/or to convert a cyano group (for example with
HCL in water/methanol at 20-100C) into a carboxyl group
or (for example with Raney nickel in water/acetic acid/
pyridine in the presence of sodium phosphate) into a
formyl group or (for example with ROH in tert.-butanol)
into a carbamoyl group or (for example with H2S in
pyridine/triethylamine) into a thiocarbamoyl group and/or
to convert a substituted or unsubstituted lH-2-pyridon-
1-yl radical (for example with P2S5 or with Lawesson~s
reagent in toluene) into the corresponding lH-2-thio-
pyridon-l-yl radical.
Nitration i8 carried out under customary condi-
tions, for example using a mixture of concentrated nitric
acid and concentrated sulphuric acid or using copper(II)
nitrate in acetic anhydride at temperatures between 0
2S and 30C.
Owing to the electron-attracting properties of
R6, nitration takes place very predominantly at the
radical R5. Mixtures which may be obtained can be split
up into the pure components by methods known per se such
as crystallisation or chromatography.
The same applie~ to halogenation, which can be
carried out, for example, using elemental chlorine or
bromine in one of the customary inert solvents at temper-
atures between about 0 and 30.
Compounds of the formula I, in which R6 denotes
difluoromethylthio, trifluoromethylthio or 2,2,2-
trifluoroethylthio, can be converted by suitable oxidis-
ing agents such as, for example, hydrogen peroxide in
glacial acetic acid, organic peracids or particularly

- 32 - 2C.,~2
preferably OxoneR in methanol-water mixtures at tempera-
tures between 0C and the reflux temperature of the
reaction mixture, preferably at temperatures between 20
and 60C, into compounds of the formula I, in which R6 has
the meaning difluoromethylsulphinyl, difluoromethyl-
sulphonyl, trifluoromethylsulphinyl, trifluoromethyl-
sulphonyl, 2,2,2-trifluoroethylsulphinyl or 2,2,2-tri-
fluoroethylsulphonyl. Mixtures of sulphinyl and sulphonyl
compound which may be produced can be obtained pure by
customary methods such as crystallisation or chromato-
graphy.
A primary or secondary amino group and/or an OH
group can be converted into the corresponding secondary
or tertiary amino group and/or alkoxy group by treating
lS with alkylating agents. Suitable alkylating agents are,-
for example,
Cl6-alkyl halides or appropriate sulphuric acid or
sulphonic acid esters such as methyl chloride, bromide,
or iodide, dimethylsulphate and methyl-p-toluenesul-
phonate. One or two methyl groups, for example, mayfurthermore be introduced using formaldehyde in the
presence of formic acid. The alkylation is expediently
carried out in the presence or absence of one of the
inert solvents mentioned, for example DMF at temperatures
between about 0C and about 120C, it also being possible
for a catalyst to be present, preferably a base such as
potassium tert.-butoxide or NaH.
Acylating agents suitable for the acylation of
amino or hydroxy groups are expediently the halides (for
example chlorides or bromides) or anhydrides of Cla-
alkylcarboxylic acids or COlO-arylcarboxylic acids, for
example acetic anhydride, propionyl chloride, isobutyryl
bromide, formic acid/acetic anhydride or benzoyl
chloride. The addition of a base such as pyridine or
triethylamine during the acylation is possible. The
acylation is expediently carried out in the presence or
absence of an inert solvent, for example of a hydrocarbon
such as toluene, of a nitrile such as acetonitrile, of an
amide such as DMF or of an excess of a tertiary base such

~(~533~2
-- 33 --
as pyridine or triethylamine, if appropriate using a
catalyst such as, for example, 4-dimethylaminopyridine,
at temperatures between about 0-C and about 160C,
preferably between 20C and 120C. Acylation using the
corresponding free carboxylic acids with the aid of
customary condensation reagents such as dicyclohexyl-
carbodiimide is also possible.
Reaction to give carbonates is carried out
analogously by reaction with chloroformic acid Cl9-alkyl
esters under the abovementioned conditions.
Reaction to give carbamates is either carried out
in analogy to processes described above by reaction with
mono- or dialkylaminocarbamoyl chlorides or by reaction
with C1~-alkyl isocyanates or with C6,0-aryl substituted
Cl6-alkyl isocyanates in an inert solvent, for example-
toluene, at temperatures between 0C and the boiling
temperature of the reaction mixture. Formylation is also
carried out using formic acid in the presence of
pyridine.
An oxirane of the formula II may preferably be
prepared in situ, from compounds of the formula III, by
reaction with a base such as sodium hydride in a solvent
such as DMSO at temperatures between 0 and 80C, prefer-
ably at 20-25C. In these cases, it is advantageous only
to add the compounds of the formula V to the reaction
mixture when the formation of oxirane is complete.
If it is desired to isolate the oxirane II, the
reaction of the bromohydrin III can also be carried out
in a suitable ether such as diethyl ether, dioxane or
tetrahydrofuran using a base such as potassium hydroxide
or sodium hydride or in aqueous mixtures of water-mis-
cible ethers and a base such as potassium hydroxide. In
these cases, the use of sodium hydride in tetrahydrofuran
is preferred.
Compounds of the general formula III in which the
bromine atom and hydroxyl group are arranged trans to one
another can be prepared by processes which are customary
per se. One such process can be represented as follows
and has been described many times, for example

or without solvent, 200C
iii) N-bromosuccinimide/dimethyl sulphoxide/water
iv) bromine, tetrachloromethane
v) acetone/water
The 4-substituted phenols VI, in which ~ has the
abovementioned meaning, are known or can be prepared by
known methods, for example by reduction of the
corresponding 4-substituted nitroaromatics, for example
using hydrogen and Raney nickel as the catalyst or by
nascent hydrogen to give the corresponding 4-substituted
anilines and diazotization and boiling of the latter to
give the said 4-substituted phenols.
In cases in which R~ has the meaning difluoro-
methylthio, difluoromethylsulphinyl, difluoromethylsul-
phonyl, trifluoromethylthio, trifluoromethylsulphinyl,~
trifluoromethylsulphonyl, 2,2,2-trifluoromethylthio,
2,2,2-trifluoroethylsuiphinyl and 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl-
sulphonyl, the radicals mentioned can frequently be
introduced more advantageously by chemical transforma-
tions of intermediates in which R6 has a meaning other
than the abovementioned meaning, for example 2H-
benzo~b~pyrans of the general formula IV, in which R6 has
: the meaning difluoromethylsulphonyl, trifluoromethyl-
sulphonyl and 2,2,2-trifluoroethylsulphonyl, are obtained
by reaction of the corresponding fluoroalkylsulphonyl
fluorides with 2H-benzo~b]pyrans of the general formula
IV, in which F~ has the meaning MgHal, where Hal has the
meaning chlorine, iodine and in particular, bromine.
Likewise, it is possible to react the Grignard
compounds of 2H-benzo~b]pyrans described above with
disulphides of the general formula R-S-S-R, in which R
has the meaning trifluoromethyl, difluoromethyl and
2,2,2-trifluoroethyl, to give 2H-benzo~b]pyrans in which
Fb has the meaning difluoromethylthio, trifluoromethylthio
or 2,2,2-trifluoroethylthio.
Furthermore, it is possible, starting from
intermediates or final products in which R6 contains a
sulphur atom, to obtain intermediates or final products
by methods which are customary per se by means of

36 XC533~2
reduction and, in particular, oxidation, in which the
designated sulphur atom has another oxidation level.
Possible oxidizing agents which may be mentioned
by way of example are: potassium permanganate, sodium
periodate, chromium trioxide or, preferably, Oxone~
(potassium monopersulphate) or hydrogen peroxide/glacial
acetic acid.
Thus, for example, 4-difluoromethylsulphonyl-
phenol, 4-trifluoromethylsulphonylphenol or 4-(2,2,2-
trifluoroethylsulphonyl)phenol can be obtained moreconveniently than by known methods by oxidation of the
corresponding fluoroalkylthiophenols with Oxonea in
methanol/water mixtures at temperatures between -10C and
the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture, prefer-
ably at temperatures between 0C and 25C.
Particularly in cases in which R~ has the meaningdifluoromethylsulphinyl, trifluoromethylsulphinyl or
2,2,2-trifluoroethylsulphinyl, it i8 more convenient,
starting from the corresponding 4-fluoroalkylthiophenols
(VI) according to scheme I, first to prepare the cor-
responding 6-fluoroalkylthio-2H-benzotb]pyrans IV, in
which R1 and R2 have the abovementioneq meaning, and then
to carry out the desired oxidation to give the respective
6-fluoroalkylsulphinyl-2H-benzo~b]pyrans of the general
formula IV, in which R~ has the abovementioned meaning.
Surprisingly, the selectivity of this reaction is very
high with the classes of compound mentioned.
The starting materials used are known or can be
prepared by processes which are known per se or
analogously to those described here or can be prepared
analogously to processes known per se.
The compounds of the formula I may be either
bases or acids or may be amphoteric and are therefore
isolated from the reaction mixtures in the form of their
salts or acid addition salts. As bases, they can be
converted into salts by known methods using suitable
inorganic or organic acids or, as acids, form salts with
bases.
Suitable acids for this reaction are in

37 2C~3~2
particular acids which yield physiologically acceptable
salts. Inorganic acids can thus be used, for example
sulphuric acid, nitric acid, hydrohalic acids such as
hydrochloric acid or hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acids
such as orthophosphoric acid, sulphamic acid, furthermore
organic acids, in particular aliphatic, alicyclic,
araliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic mono- or polybasic
carboxylic, sulphonic or sulphuric acids, for example
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- or
3-phenylpropionic acid, citric acid, gluconic acid,
ascorbic acid, nicotinic acid, isonicotinic acid,
methane- or ethanesulphonic acid, ethanedisulphonic acid,-
2-hydroxyethanesulphonic acid, benzenesulphonic acid,
p-toluenesulphonic acid, naphthalene mono- and -disul-
phonic acids, and laurylsulphuric acids. For preparation,
the hot alcoholic solution of the base is treated with
the alcoholic solution of a suitable acid, and the salt
is obtained after addition of ether. Preferred salts are
the alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and ammonium salts
of the compounds of the formula I, which are obtained
with the appropriate bases, in particular sodium
hydroxide or potassium hydroxide.
Salts with physiologically unacceptable acids,
for example picrates, can be used for the purification of
the compounds of the formula I.
As a result of asymetric sulphur or carbon atoms,
the compounds of the formula I according to the invention
can have one or more chiral centres. They can therefore
be obtained during their preparation as racemates,
diastereomeric mixtures of racemates, or, if optically
active starting substances are used, also in optically
active form as enantiomers or mixtures of diastereomers.
If the compounds, for example, have two or more
chiral centres, then they can be obtained during syn-
thesis as mixtures of racemates from which the individual
racemates can be isolated in pure form, for example by

- 38 - ~C~3~2
recrystallising from inert solvents. Thus, for example,
compounds of the formula I in which Rl = R2, R3 = OH and
R~ = H have two chiral centres at C(3) and Ct4) of the
3,4-dihydro-2H-benzopyran structure; however, during
preparation by reaction of II with V very predominantly
only one racemate having the trans position of the
substituents R3 = OH and R5 is formed. Racemates obtained
may, if desired, be separated mechanically or chemically
into their enantiomers by methods known per se. Thus,
diastereomers can be formed from the racemate by reaction
with an optically active resolving agent. Resolving
agents which are suitable for basic compounds of the
formula I are, for example, optically active acids, such
as the D- and L-forms of tartaric acid, dibenzoyltartaric
acid, diacetyltartaric acid, camphorsulphonic acids,
mandelic acid, malic acid or lactic acid. Carbinols (I,-
R3 = OH) can furthermore be esterified with the aid of
chiral acylating reagents, for example D- or L-~-methyl-
benzyl isocyanate, and then resolved (cf. EP-Al-120 428).
The different forms of the diastereomers of the formula
I can be set free from the diastereomers in a manner
known per se. Resolutions of enantiomers are furthermore
carried out by chromatography on optically active support
materials. However, according to the invention it is also
possible to obtain the pure enantiomers by asymmetric
synthesis.
The invention also relates to a process for the
production of pharmaceutical preparations, characterised
in that a compound of the formula I and/or of one of its
physiologically acceptable salts is brought into a
suitable dosage form together with at least one solid,
liquid or semi-liquid excipient or auxiliary and, if
appropriate, in combination with one or more further
active compounds.
The following examples serve to illustrate the
invention:
