Abstract

Intermediates useful in the preparation of Rutecarpine and Rutecarpine derivatives are disclosed as well as a process for the preparation of said intermediates having the following formula: ##STR1## wherein R, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are the same or different and stand for hydrogen, halogen, nitro, carboxy, nitrile, alkoxy containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkoxycarbonyl containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkoxy group, alkyl containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, amino or hydroxy or R and R.sup.1 together stand for methylenedioxy, R.sup.2 stands for hydrogen, R.sup.3 represents hydrogen or alkyl containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R.sup.4 stands for phenyl, phenyl substituted by 1 to 3 same or different substituents selected from the group of halogen(s), alkyl, and alkoxy containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, phenyloxy, hydroxy, nitro, amino, cyano, carboxy, alkoxycarbonyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkanoyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, methylenedioxy, trifluoromethyl, phenyl and dialkylamino having 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl part or naphthyl and the dotted line indicated an optional double bond. Also pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition and quaternary ammonium salts are disclosed.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
