1,192,219. Aminoalcohols. UPJOHN CO. 15 Dec., 1967 [6 Jan., 1967], No. 57139/67. Heading C2C. Novel compounds of formula wherein n is 1-4; R 1 is H, C 1-6 alkyl, C 5-8 cycloalkyl, phenyl, substituted phenyl, benzyl, C 2-6 hydroxyalkyl, or C 2-6 alkoxyalkyl; R 2 is H, C 1-6 alkyl, benzyl or acyl of a hydrocarbon carboxylic acid with 2-12 carbon atoms; R<;SP>;1<;/SP>;, R<;SP>;11<;/SP>; and R<;SP>;111<;/SP>; are H, halo, C 1-6 alkyl, C 1-6 alkoxy, or -CF 3 ; and R is H, C 1-6 alkyl or acyl as defined above, pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts, N-oxides and quaternary alkyl ammonium halide salts of the tertiary amino derivatives of Formula I wherein the alkyl group of the alkyl halide has 1-12 carbon atoms are prepared by: heating a diketo compound of Formula II with an amine HNR 3 (R 4 ) in the presence of an acid catalyst to give a compound of Formula III and hydrogenating this compound catalytically to give the aminoalcohol of Formula I, where R is H, followed where desired by treatment with a C 1-6 alkanol to give the ether of Formula I where R is alkyl, by treatment with a suitable acid anhydride or acid halide to give the ester of Formula I where R is acyl, by treatment of the alcohol, ether or ester with a peracid to give the N oxide or by treatment of a tertiary amino compound of Formula I to give the quaternary ammonium salt. Intermediates isolated are the compounds of Formula II which are prepared by reacting the appropriate cycloalkanone with pyrrolidine, morpholine or piperidine to give the appropriate 1 - pyrrolidino, 1 - morpholino or 1 - piperidino cycloalkene, followed by reaction of this compound with the appropriate benzoyl chloride and purification by formation of a copper complex. Pharmaceutical compositions comprise a compound I in association with a suitable carrier, are administered orally or parenterally and exhibit respiratory stimulating effects. Electrocardiographic jellies contain a quaternary alkyl ammonium halide of a compound I in a gelatinous base.;/SP>;SP>;/SP>;SP>;/SP>;SP>
