We describe the synthesis and pharmacological properties of two new series of aliphatic and alicyclic beta-adrenergic blockers, most of them containing a cyclopropyl ring. They belong either to 2-hydroxy-3-(tert-butylamino)propyl ether A or 2-hydroxy-3-tert-(butylamino)propyl ketoxime ether B derivatives. The O-[2-hydroxy-3-(tert-butylamino)propyl] dicyclopropyl ketoxime 5 exhibited a beta-adrenergic
