- Benzyl alcohol derivatives, their preparation and use
-
Novel hydroxyphenylaminobenzenealkanols, useful as antiasthmatic agents, are of the formula STR1 wherein R is hydrogen, lower-alkyl, lower-alkoxy or halo; R' is hydrogen or lower-alkyl; R" is hydrogen, lower-alkyl or halo; and Y is Cn H2n wherein n is 1-2. The compounds are prepared by de-etherification of the corresponding phenol alkyl or benzyl ethers; by reduction of the corresponding benzoic acids or esters thereof; or by reduction of ketones wherein --Y--OH is replaced by --COCH3.

- Substituted aminophenylalkyl ketones, their preparation and use
-
Novel lower-alkyl 2-(hydroxyphenylamino)phenyl ketones, useful as inhibitors of lipoxygenase activity, are of the formula STR1 wherein R is hydrogen, lower-alkyl, lower-alkoxy or halo; R' is hydrogen or lower-alkyl; R" is hydrogen, lower-alkyl or halo; and Alk is lower-alkyl. The compounds are prepared by de-etherification of the corresponding alkyl or benzyl ethers which are in turn prepared by reacting a 2-(alkoxy- or benzyloxyphenylamino)benzoic acid with an alkyllithium.
