3-piperidino-4-hydroxychroman derivs. of formula (I) and their salts are new, where A and B = H or A with B = -CH2CH2-. X = CH2 or O. X1 = H or OH. Z = H, F, Cl, Br or OH. Z1 = H, F, Cl, Br or 1-3C alkyl. n = O or 1; m = 0 or 1-6. When X = 0 (I) pref has cis stereochemistry. (I) are prepd. by hydride redn. of a suitable alpha-aminoketone, using e.g. NaBH4 in THF at -15 to 15 deg.C. |
