Variants of the processes previously described may be used to prepare certain compounds of formula I, in particular compounds of formula I in which Y represents a ##STR47## group.
Examples of such processes are described below:

III--When T' represents hydrogen, a nitro group or a ##STR56## group, R.sub.4 represents a --SO.sub.2 R' group and Y represents a ##STR57## group, an indole derivative of general formula: ##STR58## in which A, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, W, W', Z and n are as defined previously and Q' represents hydrogen, a nitro group or a ##STR59## group such as previously defined, is treated in a suitable solvent such as a polar solvent for example N,N-dimethylformamide and in the presence of a basic agent such as an alkali metal hydride or an alkali metal alcoholate with a halide of formula III or IIIa, which leads to the formation of the desired compounds of formula I in the form of the free base.
IV--When T' represents a nitro group, Y represents a ##STR60## group, A represents --O--, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4 and R'.sub.4 are identical and m an n are identical, a ketone derivative of general formula: ##STR61## in which R.sub.1, W, W' and Z are as defined previously is reacted, in the presence of a basic agent such as an alkali metal hydroxide or carbonate, with a compound of formula XVIII, which leads to the formation of the desired compound of formula I in the form of the free base.
V--When T, T' or T" represents a --NH--SO.sub.2 R' group, a compound of formula I in which T, T' or T" represents a --N(SO.sub.2 R').sub.2 group is treated in a suitable solvent such as an alcohol, for example ethanol, with an alkali metal hydroxide, which leads to the formation of the desired compounds of formula I in the form of the free base.
VI--When T or T' represents a ##STR62## group in which R and R.sub.a are identical and each represents a --SO.sub.2 R' group, Y represents a ##STR63## group and A represents a --O-- group, a compound of general formula: ##STR64## in which W, W' and Z are as defined previously and Het represents a group: ##STR65## in which R.sup.1, R.sub.1, and X.sub.1 are as defined previously, is reacted in the presence of a basic agent such as an alkali metal hydroxide or carbonate and at the reflux temperature of the medium with a compound of formula XVIII, which leads to the formation of the desired compounds of formula I in the form of the free base.
The compounds of formula I obtained in the form of the free base according to one or other of the methods described above can then be converted into pharmaceutically acceptable salt by reaction with a suitable inorganic or organic acid, for example oxalic, maleic, fumaric, methanesulfonic, benzoic, ascorbic, pamoic, succinic, hexamic, bismethylenesalicyclic, ethanedisulfonic, acetic, propionic, tartaric, salicylic, citric, gluconic, lactic, malic, cinnamic, mandelic, citraconic, aspartic, palmitic, stearic, itaconic, glycolic, p-aminobenzoic, glutamic, benzenesulfonic, p-toluenesulfonic, theophylline acetic acid or with lysine or histidine.
The compounds of formula II as well as the compounds of formula V and XVII in which Het represents a .alpha..sub.1 or .beta..sub.1 group may be prepared starting from a compound of general formula: ##STR66## in which Q, R.sub.1 and X.sub.1 are as defined previously, by reaction, optionally in the presence of a Lewis acid, with a halide of general formula: ##STR67## in which W, W', Z and Hal are as defined previously and R.sub.10 represents a --OCH.sub.3 radical, --A--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --Hal or ##STR68## in which A, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, Hal and n are as defined previously, so as to obtain a ketone of general formula: ##STR69## in which Q, R.sub.1, R.sub.10, X.sub.1, W, W' are as defined previously,
Usually, the reaction is carried out in the presence of a Lewis acid such as aluminum chloride, stannic chloride or silver trifluoromethanesulfonate. In certain cases, this reaction may be accomplished without the aid of a catalyst, in particular when a compound of formula XXIII is used in which R.sub.10 represents a ##STR70## radical.
The ketones of formula XXIV in which Q represents a nitro group and in which R.sub.10 represents a ##STR71## group are compounds of formula II whereas those in which R.sub.10 represents a --A--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --Hal group are in fact compounds of formula V.
The ketones of formula XXIV in which R.sub.10 represents a --OCH.sub.3 radical or --A--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --Hal may be used in the following manner:
a) when R.sub.10 represents a --OCH.sub.3 group, O-demethylation is carried out in the presence of a suitable agent such as pyridine hydrochloride, boron tribromide or aluminium chloride in order to produce a ketone derivative corresponding in particular to formula XVII in which Het represents a group of formula .alpha..sub.1 or .beta..sub.1 or formula XX, which is then condensed in the presence of a basic agent such as an alkali metal hydroxide or carbonate:
either, with an amine of formula XVIII, to produce the compounds of formula II in which A represents --O
or, with a dihalogenoalkane of general formula:
Hal--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --Hal XXV
in which Hal and n are as defined previously, in order to produce a compound of formula V in which A represents --O--, then with an amine of formula VI, the reaction taking place in the presence of a basic agent such as an alkali metal hydroxide or carbonate or an excess of the amine of formula VI, which leads to the formation of the compounds of formula II in which A represents --O--.
b) when R.sub.10 represents a --A--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --Hal group, it is condensed with an amine of formula VI, which leads to the formation of the compounds of formula II in which A represents --O--, --S-- or ##STR72##
According to a variant, the compounds of formula XVII or XX may be obtained by direct reaction, in the presence of excess aluminium chloride, between a compound of formula XXII and a halide of formula XXIII in which R.sub.10 represents a --OCH.sub.3 group.
Alternatively, the compounds of formula XXIV in which R.sub.10 represents a --OCH.sub.3 group may be obtained starting from compounds of formula XXII by implementing the various following steps:
a) acetylation by means of acetic anhydride in the presence of aluminium chloride, then bromination in the presence of an alkali metal hydroxide so as to form a carboxylic acid derivative according to the method described in Monatshefte fur Chemie 101, pp 1806-1816 (1970) a carboxylic acid derivative which is then reacted with thionyl chloride to give the acyl chlorides of general formula: ##STR73## in which Q, R.sub.1, X.sub.1 and Hal are as defined previously,
b) condensation of the acyl chloride thus formed, in the presence of a Lewis acid such as aluminium chloride or stannic chloride, with an amine of general formula: ##STR74## in which W, W' and Z are as defined previously, which leads to the formation of the desired compounds of formula XXIV.
However, when an excess of aluminium chloride is used in the preceding step b), an O-demethylation also occurs giving rise to the compounds of formula XVII or XX.
The compounds of formula XXVI above include, in particular, compounds of formula XV previously mentioned.
As for the compounds of formula XXII in which Q represents a nitro group, these latter have been described for example in the U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,452,033 or 4,024,273 in J. Org.

Usually, these compounds may be obtained from a bromobenzyl derivative of general formula: ##STR75## in which R.sub.11 represents a --OH, --SH or --NH.sub.2 radical, which is reacted with triphenylphosphine, then cyclised by means of an acyl chloride of general formula: ##STR76## in which R.sub.1 is as defined previously.
This process is applied in particular in the case in which R.sub.11 represents a --OH radical.
Alternatively, the compounds of formula XXII in which X.sub.1 represents --S-- may also be obtained by reacting a 2-chloro nitro benzaldehyde with sodium sulfide, then with a chloroketone, followed by reduction of the ketone group of the ketone compound thus formed so as to produce a 2-alkyl nitro benzothiophene.
The compounds of formula XXII in which Q represents a ##STR77## group may be prepared by catalytic hydrogenation, for example in the presence of platinum oxide, of a compound of formula XXII in which Q represents a nitro group, followed by reaction of the amino derivative thus formed with an alkane sultone, which leads to the formation of an aminoalkylsulfonate derivative which is cyclised with phosphorus pentachloride so as to produce the desired compounds.
Compounds of formula V in which Het represents a .gamma..sub.1 group may be prepared starting from an indolizine derivative of general formula: ##STR78## in which R.sub.1 and T" are as defined previously, by implementing the following steps:
a) saponification with the aid of an alkali metal hydroxide to obtain a carboxy-indolizine derivative
b) reaction of the carboxy-indolizine derivative with ethyl chloroformate in the presence of an amine, then with an alkali metal azide and finally with benzyl alcohol to produce a benzyloxy-carbamoyl-indolizine derivative
c) hydrogenation of this benzyl derivative in the presence of a catalyst such as platinum which leads to the formation of an amino-indolizine derivative
d) reaction of the amino derivative with an alkane sultone and cyclisation with phosphorus pentachloride
e) condensation, in the presence of a Lewis acid such as aluminium chloride, with a halide of formula XXIII in which:
1) R.sub.10 represents a --A--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --Hal radical to produce the required compounds of formula V
2) R.sub.10 represents a --OCH.sub.3 radical, to produce a compound which is O-demethylated by means of pyridine hydrochloride, boron tribromide or aluminium chloride in order to produce the required compounds of formula XVII.
As for the compounds of formulae XXX and VII, these latter can be obtained by reaction of an ester of 2-methyl pyridine with a bromo-alkanone in order to produce a pyridinium derivative which is cyclised in the presence of triethylamine.
The amines of formulae XVI and XXVII are, for the most part, known compounds since they have been described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,831,054. Usually, these compounds of the formulae XVI and XXVII can be prepared by reacting a compound of general formula: ##STR79## in which W, W' and Z are as defined previously and A' represents --OH, --SH or --NH.sub.2, in the presence of a basic agent such as an alkali metal hydroxide or carbonate with a compound of general formula: ##STR80## in which R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and n are as defined previously and R'.sub.9 is such that:
1) when A' represents --OH or --SH, R'.sub.9 represents a halogen atom or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkylsulfonyloxy radical or a C.sub.6 -C.sub.10 arylsulfonyloxy radical
2) when A' represents --NH.sub.2, R'.sub.9 represents a ##STR81## radical in which R".sub.9 represents a halogen atom.

The compounds of formula XXI can be obtained starting from an amino compound of general formula: ##STR82## in which R.sub.1 and X.sub.1 are as defined previously, by implementing the following process:
a) reaction with two equivalents of a compound of formula III or IIIa in the presence of an acid acceptor such as an amine, for example triethylamine,
b) condensation of the bisulfonamido derivative obtained with a compound of formula XXIV in which R.sub.10 represents a --OCH.sub.3 group in the presence of a Lewis acid such as tin tetrachloride,
c) demethylation by means of a suitable agent such as boron tribromide in order to form the desired compounds of formula XXI.
The compounds of formula XXXIII can be prepared by hydrogenation of a derivative of formula XXII, in which Q represents a nitro group, in the presence of platinum or palladium oxide.
As for the compounds of formulae VI, VIII, XII, XXIII, XXV, XXVIII, XXXI and XXXII, they are known compounds. Most of them have been published in particular in the U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,024,273 and 4,831,054, the patent applications EP 0235.111 or WO 90/02743 or in Eur. J. Med. Chem.-Chimica Therapeutica 12, No. 5 pp. 483-487 (1977). These compounds can all be prepared by known methods.
At present, it is undoubtedly of interest to use as agent for the prevention of cardiac arrhythmias, the potentialities offered by delayed conduction of the electrical impulse at the cardiac cell or the prolongation of the refractory period.
Although many physio-pathological states prolong the repolarization of the cardiac cell and are associated with a reduced incidence of cardiac fibrillation, the concept of pharmacological control of rhythmic disorders by increasing the action potential is relatively new.
The action potential of the myocardiac cell in fact represents a modification of the resting potential of this cell which, after having attained the threshold potential (-70 millivolts) sufficiently rapidly, initiates a sequence of changes in the membrane potential.
After passage of the impulse, the myocardium remains transiently insensitive to a new stimulation; during the absolute refractory period it is absolutely impossible to excite the myocardium whereas during the relative refractory period a sufficiently powerful stimulus can lead to a slowly propagated response. The existence of the refractory periods determines the unidirectional nature of the propagation of the impulse.
The characteristics of the action potential determine those of the conduction and the refractory periods. Consequently, any shortening of the repolarization is arrhythmogenic as a result of the concomitant shortening of the refractory period. Conversely, any interference uniformly lengthening the action potential produces a lengthening of the absolute refractory period and this diminishes the arythmogenicity.
In other words, if the attainment of a threshold level of the membrane potential necessary to generate a second action potential is delayed, in response to a stimulus, by interfering in processes which normally control the rate of repolarization, the refractory periods (absolute period and efficacious period) of the cardiac muscle ought to be correspondingly prolonged, a phenomenon which would be expected to create an antiarrhythmic mechanism.
At present, amiodarone or 2-n-butyl 3-[4-(2-diethylamino ethoxy) 3,5-diiodo benzoyl] benzofuran is one of the rare anti-arrhythmic agents on the market which possesses the properties just explained.
The compound, in fact, prolongs the repolarization plateau without modifying the rate of rapid depolarization. Its anti-arrhythmic effect derives from the uniform lengthening of the action potentials and the refractory periods of the myocardial cells.
Furthermore, amiodarone possesses incomplete antiadrenergic properties of the .alpha. and .beta. types. Hence, this compound may be considered not as a .beta. blocker but as an adreno-decelerator, i.e. as a partial antagonist of .alpha. and .beta. adrenergic reactions. Such properties are of indisputable benefit since it appears desirable not to look for complete .alpha. or .beta. antagonistic properties in view of the side effects to which they may lead in the clinic ("Bruxelles Medical", No. 9, September 1969, pages 543-560).
Derivatives of benzofuran, benzothiophene, indole or indolizine with chemical structures similar to that of amiodarone are already known, i.e. those bearing a dialkylamino- or monoalkylamino-alkoxy-benzoyl chain at position 3: such compounds exhibited active properties on the cardiovascular system to varying degrees.
In this context, the U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,920,707 and 3,947,470, the EP patent applications Nos. 338.746 and 360.784, the PCT patent applications Nos. WO 89/02888, 89/02892 and 89/02893 as well as Eur. J. Med. Chem.-Chimica Therapeutica 12, No. 5 p. 483-487 (1977) may be mentioned.
Now at present, there appears to exist no known derivative of benzofuran, benzothiophene or indole which bears the dialkylamino-or monoalkylamino-alkoxybenzoyl chain and which is substituted on the homocycle by a substituted or unsubstituted amino group.
Although the U.S. Pat. No. 3,947,470 covers adequately nitrogenous derivatives of the homocycle, i.e. derivatives bearing a nitro group, no compound of this type may be considered as having been actually prepared and still less tested from a pharmacological point of view.
The surprising discovery has now been made in the context of the invention that derivatives of benzofuran, benzothiophene, indole and indolizine bearing a monoalkylamino- or dialkylamino-alkoxy-benzoyl chain as well as other groups attached to the heterocycle and particularly to the homocycle of benzofuran, benzothiophene or indole or to the pyridine moiety of indolizine possess remarkable pharmacological properties which are expressed in particular by an increase in the duration of the action potential and the refractory periods of the cardiac cell.
These properties have even shown themselves to be superior to those recorded with known derivatives or with analogues bearing a nitro substituent on the homocycle.
Furthermore, it has been possible to demonstrate that compounds of the invention possess fewer possible side effects than analogous known compounds.
In particular, it is known that amiodarone causes phospholipidoses in the lung, which results in the destruction of macrophages in the alveoli. This destruction is expressed in the patient undergoing treatment with amiodarone by the appearance of pulmonary complications, such as respiratory insufficiency which will require the cessation of treatment.
Other known compounds such as 2-n-butyl 3-[4-(3-di-n-butylamino-propoxy)benzoyl] benzofuran, also exhibit this side effect. For example, it has been possible to demonstrate that at an oral dose of 139 mg/kg for 14 days this compound causes an 11.6% increase of the pulmonary phospholipids in the rat. Under the same conditions, at a dose of 100 mg/kg, amiodarone causes a 26.7% increase in the level of phospholipids in the lung.
In contrast, the following compounds of the invention:
2-n-butyl 3-[4-(3-di-n-butylamino-propoxy)benzoyl] 5-methylsulfonamido benzofuran (Ex. 2)
5-amino 3-[4-(3-di-n-butylamino-propoxy)benzoyl] 2-n-butyl benzofuran (Ex. 3)
do not alter the levels of pulmonary phospholipids at doses of 116 mg/kg and 135 mg/kg, respectively.
In view of this absence of pulmonary lipidoses and in the light of other pharmacological tests performed, the compound of the invention which showed the best potentialities as anti-arrhythmic and antiadrenergic agent is 2-n-butyl 3-[4-(3-di-n-butylamino-propoxy) benzoyl] 5-methylsulfonamido benzofuran and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
The results of pharmacological tests performed for the purpose of determining the properties of the compounds of the invention on the cardiovascular system are listed below.
I--Effect on the duration of the action potential
The effect of the compounds of the invention on the duration of the action potential has been demonstrated by the measurement of the effect of intravenous administration in the rat "in vivo".
The following procedure is used.
Sprague-Dawley male rats weighing 250 to 450 g are anaesthetized and attached to a carrier in the dorsal position. After bipolar electrodes have been attached to the 4 paws for the recording of the electrocardiogram, the rat is placed under artificial respiration. After thoracotomy and rupture of the pericardium, a suction electrode is applied to the heart (while avoiding the coronary arteries). This latter adheres instantaneously as a result of the force of aspiration of a vacuum pump to which it is connected.
The action potential and the electrocardiogram are then recorded simultaneously at a rate of 200 mm/sec before the administration of a test compound as well as at different times (1, 3, 5 and 10 minutes) after the administration of a dose of a test compound during 30 seconds.
The results obtained are expressed in % increase of the duration of the action potential (D.A.P.) relative to the duration recorded before the administration of the test substance, the duration being measured at 90% of the amplitude of the action potential.
The following examples illustrate the results obtained, the compounds of formula I being in the form of the free base or a salt.

II--Antiadrenergic properties
The purpose of this test is to determine the capacity of the compounds of the invention to reduce the increase in blood pressure induced by epinephrine (anti-.alpha. effect) and the acceleration of cardiac frequency induced by isoprenaline (anti-.beta. effect) in the dog anaesthetized beforehand with pentobarbital and atropine.
The dose of epinephrine which causes a reproducible increase in the arterial blood pressure of about 133.10.sup.2 Pa (between 3 and 10 .mu.g/kg) and the dose of isoprenaline which causes a reproducible increase in cardiac frequency of about 70 beats/minute (1 to 2 .mu.g/kg) are first determined for each dog. Every ten minutes the doses of epinephrine and isoprenaline thus determined are injected alternately and after two successive reference responses have been obtained, a quantity of the test compound is administered intravenously.
Anti-.alpha. effect
The reduction of the hypertension caused by the test compound is recorded as a percentage of the reference hypertension previously obtained (about 100 mm Hg).
Anti-.beta. effect
The reduction of the acceleration of the cardiac frequency caused by the test compound is recorded as a percentage of the reference tachycardia previously measured (about 70 beats).
In both cases, the results of the reduction of arterial pressure and of cardiac frequency are expressed as follows:
+ for a reduction <50%
++ for a reduction .gtoreq.50%
+++ for a sub-total reduction (almost complete reduction)
