The compounds of formula I are prepared by N-acylation of a compound of formula II' by means of an acid of formula III'. In these formulae, R is a hydroxyl, NH2 or alkoxy group, R1 and R4 are each H or an alkyl, phenyl or phenylalkyl group, R2 is H or an organic substituent, R3 is H or a hydroxyl or alkyl group, m is 1, 2 or 3 and n is 0, 1 or 2. The acid of formula III' can be replaced by a functional derivative of the latter or, when n is 1, by an acrylic acid of formula R4CH=C(R1)-COOH. In the latter case, after the acylation, a thiol or thioacid R2SH is added to the double bond of the acryloyl residue. The compounds of formula I are therapeutically active in the treatment of blood hypertension (high blood pressure). <IMAGE> |
