or a 2-methyl thiophene, a 3-methyl thiophene or a 2-methyl furane group ##STR11## in which case A--CO-- represents a 2-methoxy 4-amino 5-chloro benzoyl nucleus;

or a cyclohexylmethyl group, in which case A--CO-- represents a 2-methoxy 4-amino 5-bromo benzoyl nucleus.

It should be noted that in formula (I), the chain A--CO--NH is in the equatorial position and the nor-tropanes having such a substituent in the equatorial position will be called .beta. in what follows.

The present invention comprises of course as well the pharmaceutically acceptable mineral or organic acids addition salts of said compounds.

The compounds of formula (I) are obtained by condensing, by the mixed anhydrides method, the acids of formula:

A--COOH (II) in which A--CO-- has the same meanings as A--CO-- in formula (I), with the corresponding .beta.-3-amino nor-tropanes of formula: ##STR12## in which R has the same meaning as in formula (I).

The compounds of formula (II) complying more precisely with the particular formula: ##STR13## in which R.sub.8 represents a methoxy or an ethoxy group, are new and are obtained by saponification of the compound of formula: ##STR14## in which R.sub.8 has the same meanings as in formula (IIa) and R.sub.9 represents a methyl or ethyl group.

The compounds of formula (IV) in which the couple (R.sub.8, R.sub.9) assumes the following values: (OCH.sub.3, CH.sub.3) and (OC.sub.2 H.sub.5, C.sub.2 H.sub.5) are also new and are obtained by a 3-stage synthesis which consists in treating 2-amino 5-ethoxycarbonyl 4-hydroxy pyrimidine, in solution in a basic organic solvent, such as pyridine, with an acid anhydride (e.g. acetic anhydride), then in reacting the product thus obtained with a chlorinating agent preferably phosphorous oxychloride, and finally in causing to react on the resulting raw product, sodium methylate or ethylate, respectively in solution in methanol or ethanol.

The compound of formula (III) in which R represents the benzyl group is new and results from the reduction, by means of sodium in amyl alcohol, of the oxime of N-benzyl nor-tropine-3 one of formula: ##STR15##

The compounds of formula (III) in which R has the same meanings as in formula (I), with the exception of the benzyl group, are also new and are obtained by a two-stage synthesis which consists in condensing cyclohexylmethyl chloride, 3,4-dichloro benzyl chloride, 2-chloromethyl thiophene, 3-chloromethyl thiophene, 2-chloromethyl furane or the chlorides of formulae: ##STR16## in which R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 have the same meanings as in formula (I), on the compounds of formula: ##STR17## in which R.sub.10 represents the methyl or ethoxy group, this condensation being preferably carried out at reflux in an organic solvent such as acetone, acetonitrile or DMF in the presence of potassium carbonate or triethylamine, then in hydrolyzing the acetyl or carbethoxy group.

The compounds of formula (VII), which are new, are obtained by a two-stage synthesis consisting in treating the compound of formula (III) in which R represents the benzyl group, with acetyl chloride or ethyl chloroformiate, in a tetrahydrofurane medium and in the presence of an organic base such as pyridine or triethylamine, then in hydrogenolyzing the product obtained, for example in the presence of palladium on charcoal at 10% in an ethanol medium, at a temperature of 60.degree. C. and at a pressure of 15 bars.

The compounds of formula (I) where the motif A--CO-- represents the group of formula: ##STR18## and wherein R is different from the benzyl group, may also be obtained by condensation of the compounds of formula (VIa) with the compound of formula: ##STR19##

This condensation is preferably carried out in accordance with a process identical to the one used for synthesis of the compounds of formula (III) where R is different from the benzyl group.

Finally, the compound of formula (VIII), also new, is obtained by hydrogenolysis--preferably in an acid medium, in the presence of palladium on charcoal at 10%, at room temperature, at a pressure of 90 mbars and in an alcohol medium--of the compound of formula: ##STR20##

This latter compound is prepared in accordance with the process described above for the preparation of the compounds of formula (I) [mixed anhydrides method] by condensing acid of formula: ##STR21## with the compound of formula (III) wherein R is a benzyl group.

The acid addition salts of the compounds of formula (I) may be obtained by usual methods. For example the acid, e.g. hydrochloric, oxalic, maleic or fumaric acid, is added to the compounds of formula (I) in base form, in the presence of an appropriate solvent such as ethanol for example.

The following preparations are given by way of examples to illustrate the invention.

EXAMPLE 1

Code number: 19

To a solution of 8.35 g of 4-amino 5-bromo 2-methoxy benzoic acid (II) in 200 ml of tetrahydrofurane cooled to 0.degree. C., were added 5.18 ml of triethylamine, then 3.5 ml of ethyl chloroformiate. After 45 minutes at 0.degree. C., 8.6 g of .beta.-3-amino N-parafluorobenzyl nor-tropane [(III), prepared as in example 5, code No. 103] were added and left to agitate for 3 hours. The solvent was evaporated, the residue taken up in methylene chloride, washed with carbonated water, then with water, dried on sodium sulfate, filtered and the solvent evaporated. The residue was crystallized in isopropylic ether. It was filtered and the precipitate obtained (12.9 g) was dissolved in 150 ml of ethanol; chlorhydric ethanol .perspectiveto.6.5 N was added, the precipitate obtained was filtered, rinsed with ether on the filter and recrystallized in absolute alcohol. 5 g of the expected product were obtained.

The derivatives of formula (I) were tested on laboratory animals and showed neuroleptic properties.

These properties were demonstrated on mice particularly by the test of antagonism to apomorphine straightening, carried out in accordance with the method described by G. GOURET et alia in J. Pharmacol. (Paris) 1973, 4, 341.

The effective doses 50 (ED 50) obtained by intraperitoneal administration, in accordance with the above-mentioned test, of the derivatives of formula (I) and SULPIRIDE chosen as reference compound, are given in table IV below.

Acute toxicity was studied on mice by intraperitoneal administration, and the estimated lethal dose in accordance with the method described by MILLER and THINTER Proc. Soc. Exper. Biol. Med. 1944, 57, 261, are also shown in table IV.

As the results given in this table show, the difference between effective doses and lethal doses 50 is sufficient to allow the derivatives of formula (I) to be used in therapeutics.

These latter are particularly prescribed in the treatment of disturbances of the psychism.

They will be administered orally in the form of tablets, pills or capsules containing 50 to 300 mg of active ingredient (3 to 8 per day), in solution form containing 0.1 to 1% of active ingredient (10 to 40 drops once to thrice per day), by parenteral administration in the form of injectable ampoules containing 5 to 100 mg of active ingredient (3 to 8 ampoules per day).
