There are described compounds of the formulan wheren (a) X is O or S; (b) R is H, loweralkyl,n where Y is O or S; R 2 is loweralkyl, cycloalkyl; bicycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, aryl, arylloweralkyl, heteroaryl or heteroarylloweralkyl, R 3 is H or lower alkyl or the group -NR 2 R 3 taken as a whole is 1-pyrrolidinyl, 1-piperidinyl, 4-morpholinyl, 4-thiomorpholinyl, 1-piperazinyl, 4-methyl-1-piperazinyl or 2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl- imino)-1-imidazolidinyl) and R 4 is hydrogen, loweralkyl, arylloweralkyl, diarylloweralkyl, aryl or heteroaryl, (c) m is 1 or 2; (d) each Z is independently H, loweralkyl, halogen, nitro, -NH 2 , loweralkylcarbonylamino, arylcarbonylamino, loweralkoxycarbonylamino or loweralkylamino, and (e) R 1 is H, loweralkyl, arylloweralkyl, heteroarylloweralkyl, cycloalkylmethyl or loweralkenylmethyl, nwith the proviso that when X is O, m is 1, Z is Hand R 1 is methyl, R is not -CONHCH 3 , -CONHC 6 H 5 , hydrogen, methyl or ethyl, and that when X is O, m is 1 and Z and R 1 are both hydrogen, R is not hydrogen or methyl, and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof which are useful as memory-enhancing and analgesic agents. |
