A series of novel substituted phenoxypropylamine derivatives have been prepared by reacting the appropriate 1-phenoxy-2,3-epoxypropane compound with a suitable organic amine reagent. The resulting 1-phenoxy-3-alkylaminopropan-2-ols are useful in the field of chemotherapy as anti-angina agents. Preferred members include compounds having an acetamido group substituted on the phenyl ring of the phenoxy moiety. Alternate methods of preparation are also provided.
