#This invention relates to novel compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein X is selected from hydrogen, methyl, methoxy, chloro and nitro; Z is selected from hydrogen, chloro and nitro; Y is selected from ##STR2## and said compounds may be the racemic mixtures or the optically active isomers thereof.
#This invention also relates to methods for the preparation of the above-identified formula (I) compounds, which may be the racemic mixtures or the optically active isomers thereof.
#In accordance with this invention, a formula (I) compound, wherein Y is selected from ##STR3## can be prepared by reacting the corresponding thiophen-4-amine of formula (II), or an acid addition salt thereof, with benzoyl (or a substituted benzoyl) isocyanate as hereinbelow graphically illustrated: ##STR4## wherein X is selected from hydrogen, methyl, methoxy, chloro and nitro; Z is selected from hydrogen, chloro and nitro; Y is selected from ##STR5## HA represents an acid selected from hydrochloric, hydrobromic and hydriodic acid; n is 0 or 1; and said formulae (I) and (II) compounds are the racemic mixtures or the optical isomers thereof.

#A solution of benzoyl isocyanate (2.94g) in methylene chloride (5ml) is added to a solution of 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophen-4-amine is methylene chloride (50ml) under a nitrogen atmosphere. After stirring overnight at room temperature, the reaction mixture is evaporated to dryness in vacuo. The residue is then stirred in ether (100ml) and filtered to afford 1-benzoyl-3-(4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo-[b]thien-4-yl)urea, m.p. 189.degree. to 194.degree. C.
#In the same manner, (+)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo-[b]thiophen-4-amine is used in place of dl -4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophen-4-amine to afford the optically active title compound.
#Similarly, substituted (X,Z)-benzoyl isocyanates are used in place of benzoyl isocyanate to afford the corresponding 1-(substituted benzoyl)-3-(4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thien-4-yl) ureas as follows: ##STR11##
