Benzylidene derivatives

Abstract

Benzylidene derivatives of the formula: ##STR1## in which each of X.sub.1, X.sub.2, X.sub.3 and X.sub.4 independently of one another represents hydrogen, halogen, a linear or branched alkyl radical of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, CF.sub.3, NO.sub.2, phenyl, methoxy, or amino, at least two of the substituents X.sub.1, X.sub.2, X.sub.3 and X.sub.4 being different from hydrogen, and R represents a linear or branched alkyl radical of 1 to 16 carbon atoms or an alkenyl radical of 2 to 8 carbon atoms, which may be produced by reaction of the corresponding ketones with an amine, are active on the central nervous system, especially as anti-convulsants.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
