4-[[3-[.alpha.-Aminobenzyl]phenyl]methyl]morpholine and 4-[-[3-benzoylphenyl]ethyl]morpholine

Abstract

N-{2, 3- and 4-[R.sub.1 -(phenyl)-C(=X)]-phenyl-lower-alkyl}amines, useful as anti-inflammatory agents, are prepared either by reduction of 2-, 3- or 4-[R.sub.1 -(phenyl)-CO]-phenyl-lower-alkanoylamines, which are also useful as anti-inflammatory agents; by benzoylating a phenyl-lower-alkylamine; by reaction of a 2-, 3- or 4-lithiophenyl-lower-alkylamine with a R.sub.1 -(phenyl)-carboxaldehyde, a R.sub.1 -(phenyl)-lower-alkyl ketone or a R.sub.1 -(phenyl)-carbonitrile; by reaction of a 2-, 3- or 4-[R.sub.1 -(phenyl)-CO]-phenyl-lower-alkyl tosylate with an appropriate amine; or by transformations involving manipulations of a carbonyl or carbinol group.
