- R.sup.4 is hydrogen, C.sub.1-6 alkyl optionally substituted with Ar or pyridinyl;
- R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 taken together form a bivalent radical of formula (b-1) to (b-6) wherein one hydrogen atom of said radicals (b-1) to (b-6) may be replaced by C.sub.1-6 alkyl, or wherein one hydrogen atom of radical (b-3) may be replaced by phenyl;
- R.sup.7 is hydrogen or halo; and
- each Ar independently is phenyl optionally substituted with 1 or 2 substituents each independently selected from the group consisting of halo, hydroxy, nitro, cyano, trifluoromethyl, C.sub.1-6 alkyl and C.sub.1-6 alkyloxy.
- 3. A compound according to claim 2 wherein:
- R.sup.3 is methyl;
- R.sup.4 is hydrogen, C.sub.1-6 alkyl, phenylmethyl or pyridinylmethyl;
- R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 taken together form a bivalent radical of formula (b-1), (b-2), (b-3), (b-5) or (b-6), wherein one hydrogen atom of said radicals (b-3), (b-5) or (b-6) may be replaced by methyl, or wherein one hydrogen atom of radical (b-3) may be replaced by phenyl;
- R.sup.7 is hydrogen or fluoro; and
- each Ar independently is phenyl optionally substituted with halo or C.sub.1-6 alkyloxy.
- 4. A compound according to claim 3 wherein R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 taken together form a radical of the formula --CH.dbd.CH--, --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 -- or --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --.
- 5. A compound according to claim 4 wherein said compound is selected from the group consisting of:
- 6-[2-[4-(6-fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)-1-piperidinyl]ethyl]-1,7-dimethylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-5(1H)-one;

- 6. A pharmaceutical composition comprising an inert carrier and as an active ingredient an effective amount of a compound as claimed in any of claims 1-5.
- 7. A method of treating warm-blooded animals suffering from diseases associated with the release of neurotransmitters, which comprises the administration thereto of an effective amount of a compound as claimed in any of claims 1-5.
- 8. A method of treating warm-blooded animals suffering from psychotic diseases, which comprises the administration thereto of an effective antipsychotic amount of a compound as claimed in any of claims 2-5.
