The reaction between the compound of the general formula (II) and the compound of the general formula (III) can be advantageously carried out at a temperature ranging from room temperature (about 25.degree. C.) to about 140.degree. C. for a period of about 3 to about 50 hours using an equimolar amount of the compounds of the general formulae (II) and (III), but either of the compounds of the general formulae (II) and (III) can be used in a smaller or larger amount than the other without any adverse affects on the reaction. The base is preferably used in an amount of from about 1 to about 2 mols per mol of the compound of the general formula (II).
In an alternative process for preparing the compound of the general formula (I), the starting material represented by the general formula (IV) can be prepared in accordance with the procedure described in J. Org. Chem. 24, 1497 (1959).

The 2-aminotetraline derivatives of the present invention exhibit a potent antispasmodic effect on smooth muscle organs such as the stomach and the intestines. The compounds of the present invention are extremely useful as medicines particularly acting on the lower digestive tract. Table 1 below shows the effect of representative compounds of the present invention on colonic contraction caused by stimulating the pelvic nerve in anesthesized dogs. N-Ethyl-N-[4-(3,4-dimethoxybenzoyloxy)butyl]-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-propylamine hydrochloride (hereinafter referred to as "mebeverine") known as an antispasmodic for the lower digestive tract was used as a reference.

The values shown in Table 1 were obtained according to the following method [as disclosed in European Journal of Pharmacology, 18, pp. 1-14 (1972)].
Mongrel dogs of both sexes weighing 8-15 kg were used.
After intravenous anesthesizing with pentobarbital in a dose of 30 mg/kg, the animals were fixed on their back and subjected to ventrotomy along the midline of the lower abdomen. After a rubber balloon filled with water was inserted into the descending colon via the anus, 100 .mu.g/kg of each compound was injected intravenously and changes in the internal pressure of the balloon were recorded on a polygraph through a low pressure transducer. Electric stimulation (rectangular wave, 50 cps in frequency, 1 msec in duration, 4 V in voltage) was applied to the pelvic nerve for 5 seconds every three minutes. The percent inhibition of the colonic contraction was calculated according to the following relationship. ##EQU1##

The method for testing the effect on colonic motility was as follows.
Male STD Wistar strain rats weighing 300-400 g were used. After intraperitoneally anesthesizing the rats with 1 g/kg (i.p.) of ethyl carbamate, the rats were fixed on their back and a rubber balloon filled with water was inserted into the descending colon via the anus. Changes in the internal pressure of the balloon were recorded on a polygraph via a low pressure transducer. In order to maintain a constant colonic motility, neostigmine was continuously subcutaneously injected into each rat at a rate of 90 .mu.g/kg/hr (s.c.). The test drugs were each dissolved in distilled water at various concentrations and administered into the stomach through an oral catheter in a volume of 0.2 ml/100 g of body weight. The dose at which an inhibition of colonic motility was observed in 50% of the rats used was expressed as the ED.sub.50.
The data shown in Tables 1 and 2 above demonstrate that the compounds of the present invention are useful medicines with a potent antispasmodic effect and low toxicity. The compounds of the present invention are further characterized by the following property. The compounds of the present invention have selectively stronger antispasmodic effect on the lower part of the digestive tract than on the upper part of the digestive tract, in contrast to conventional anticholinergic antispasmodics which act non-selectively on the digestive tract. The evidence for this selectivity is exemplified by the results shown for representative compounds of the present invention in Table 3. In Table 3, the s.ID.sub.50 and c.ID.sub.50 values represent the doses causing 50% inhibition of the contractile response of the stomach to vagal stimulation and 50% inhibition of the colonic contraction by pelvic nerve stimulation, respectively, in dogs. These values and their ratios (s.ID.sub.50 /c.ID.sub.50) indicate that these compounds have higher selectivity than mebeverine, as is clear from Table 3.

The determination of gastric motility was carried out according to the method described in European Journal of Pharmacology, 18, pp. 1-14 (1972).
More specifically mongrel dogs of both sexes weighing 8-15 kg were used. After anesthesizing the animals with 30 mg/kg (i.v.) of pentobarbital, the animals were fixed on their back and a midline incision was made in the upper abdomen. A rubber balloon filled with water was inserted into the stomach through an incision in the greater curvature. Changes in internal pressure of the balloon were recorded on a polygraph via a low pressure transducer. Electric stimulation (rectangular wave, 20 cps in frequency, 1 msec in duration, 8 V in voltage) was applied to the vagus nerve for 10 seconds every three minutes. The percent inhibition of the contractile response of the stomach was calculated from the relationship shown above.
c.ID.sub.50 values were determined by the same method as was used for Table 1. Subacute toxicity: No significant abnormal behavior nor pathological disorder on blood, urine and the organs was observed when orally administering Compound D to JCL-SD strain rats, 6 weeks old, in a daily dose up to 200 mg/kg during a 5-week period.
The compounds of the present invention can be advantageously administered via oral route in dosage forms such as tablets, capsules, and the like, at a dosage level of about 30 mg to about 200 mg/day for an adult human, in a single dose or divided into 3 to 4 doses.

The present invention will now be illustrated in more detail by reference to the following Examples. Unless otherwise indicated herein, all parts, percents, ratios and the like are by weight.
EXAMPLE 1
1.85 g of N-ethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-naphthylamine, 3.9 g of 4-iodobutyl 3,4-dimethoxybenzoate, 1.1 g of sodium carbonate and 40 ml of methyl ethyl ketone were mixed and heated at reflux for 60 hours. The reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure, and water was added to the residue, followed by extraction with chloroform. The chloroform layer was washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residual oily material was purified through silica gel chromatography. To this was added an ethanolic solution of hydrogen chloride having a concentration of about 18%, and the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The product was crystallized from an acetone-diethyl ether mixed solution and the crystals formed were collected through filtration. Recrystallization from ethanol-diethyl ether yielded 2.3 g of colorless, powdery N-ethyl-N-[4-(3,4-dimethoxybenzoyloxy)butyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-naphthylamine hydrochloride having a melting point of 119.degree.-121.degree.

(i) 28.0 g of 6-methoxy-2-tetralone, 200 ml of a 19% ethylamine-ethanol solution, 2.2 g of platinum oxide and 10 ml of absolute ethanol were mixed and the mixture was irradiated with infrared light in the presence of hydrogen to cause a catalytic hydrogenation to occur. After absorption of hydrogen had been completed, the platinum oxide catalyst was filtered off from the reaction solution and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, followed by extraction with chloroform. The chloroform layer obtained was washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue obtained was dissolved in an ethanolic solution of hydrogen chloride having a concentration of about 18% and the solution was concentrated under reduced pressure. Acetone was added to the residue obtained to cause crystallization. The crystals were collected through filtration and recrystallized from ethanol-diethyl ether to give 29.7 g of N-ethyl-6-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-naphthylamine hydrochloride as colorless crystals having a melting point of 231.degree.-232.degree.

(ii) 2.0 g of N-ethyl-6-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-naphthylamine hydrochloride produced as described in (i) above and 20 ml of a 2 N-sodium hydroxide aqueous solution were mixed and followed by extraction with chloroform. After the choroform layer was dried and concentrated under reduced pressure, the free base obtained was mixed with 3.1 g of 4-iodobutyl 3,4-dimethoxybenzoate, 0.9 g of sodium carbonate and 40 ml of methyl ethyl ketone, and the mixture was heated for 60 hours at reflux. The reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure, and water was added to the residue, followed by extraction with chloroform. The chloroform layer was washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residual oily product was purified through silica gel chromatography to obtain N-ethyl-N-[4-(3,4-dimethoxybenzoyloxy)butyl]-6-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-napthylamine as an oily product. To this product, an ethanolic solution of hydrogen chloride having a concentration of about 18% was added and the solution was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue obtained was dissolved in acetone, and diethyl ether was added to the solution. The solution was left at a temperature of about 2.degree. to 3.degree. C. to form crystals. The crystals were collected through filtration, and recrystallized from an acetone-diethyl ether mixed solution to obtain 2.65 g of N-ethyl-N-[4-(3,4-dimethoxybenzoyloxy)butyl]-6-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-naphthylamine hydrochloride as colorless crystals having a melting point of 139.degree.-140.degree.
