R.sup.7 and R.sup.8 have the abovementioned meaning, if appropriate in the presence of an inert organic solvent at temperatures between 20.degree. and 150.degree. C. or
(B) aldehydes of the general formula (II) in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2, A and X have the abovementioned meaning, are reacted with ketones of the general formula (V) ##STR6## in which
R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and Y have the abovementioned meaning, and enamines of the general formula (VI) ##STR7## in which
R.sup.6, R.sup.7 and R.sup.8 have the abovementioned meaning, if appropriate in the presence of inert organic solvents at temperatures between 20.degree. and 150.degree. C., or
(C) ylidene compounds of the general formula (VII) ##STR8## in which
R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, A, X and Y have the abovementioned meaning,
are reacted with enamines of the general formula (VI) in which R.sup.6, R.sup.7 and R.sup.8 have the abovementioned meaning, if appropriate in the presence of inert organic solvents at temperature between 20.degree. and 150.degree. C. or,

C.
Process variant A is preferred if the radical R.sup.8 represents nitro, process variants B and C are preferred if the radical R.sup.8 represents nitrile, and process variant D is preferred if the radical R.sup.8 has the remaining meanings.
The reactants can be used in any desired proportions relative to one another, but equimolar amounts are preferred. The compounds of the formulae III or IV in process variant A, the compounds of the formulae V or VI in process variant B, the compounds of the formula VI in process variant C and compound of the formula III in process varient D can also be employed in an excess of up to 3 moles.
The reaction temperatures in all process variants are preferably 30.degree. to 120.degree. C., in particular the boiling points of the solvents used.
If the reaction is carried out in the presence of organic solvents, all the inert solvents are suitable, such as, for example, alcohols, acetic acid, benzene and/or toluene.
The aldehydes of the formula II used for the preparation are new and can be prepared, if X=S, by reducing thiochromones of the formula ##STR10## in which
R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and A have the meanings already mentioned, to benzyl alcohols and oxidizing the benzyl alcohol ##STR11## to aldehydes with oxidizing agents.
The thiochromones used as starting substances are known, or they can be prepared by known processes (Bossert, Lieb. Ann. 680, 40 (1964)).
Inert organic solvents can be used for the reduction to the benzyl alcohol, for example ethers, such as, for example, dioxane, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or dimethoxyethane, or aromatics, such as, for example, toluene or benzene. Examples of reducing agents which may be mentioned are alkali metal aluminum hydrides, such as, for example, LiAlH.sub.4, or alkyl-aluminum hydrides, such as, for example, diisobutyl-aluminum hydride.
This process is preferably carried out in a temperature range from -100.degree. C. to +60.degree. C., in particular in a range from -60.degree. C. to +30.degree. C.
The reaction is usually carried out under normal pressure, but can also be carried out under increased pressure.
The reducing agent is added in amounts customary to the expert, preferably in amounts of at least four and at most 8 equivalents of hydride.
The same solvents as used in the reduction can be used for the oxidation of the benzyl alcohol to the aldehyde, and in addition halogenated hydrocarbons, such as chloroform and methylene chloride, or ketones, such as, for example, acetone.
The transition metal oxides usually employed for oxidations, but preferably manganese dioxide, can be used as the oxidizing agent.
The oxidation is usually carried out in a temperature range from -30.degree. to +200.degree. C., preferably at the boiling point of the particular solvent.
The oxidation is usually carried out under normal pressure, but can also be carried out under increased pressure.
The oxidizing agent can be employed in amounts of 3 to 20, preferably 5 to 10, oxidation equivalents. It may also be advantageous to add fresh oxidizing agent to the reaction mixture from time to time.
If X=O, chromones of the formula ##STR12## in which
R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and A have the abovementioned meaning, with the restriction that A is not an alkenylene chain nor contains sulphur and
R.sup.3 represents hydrogen or alkyl (with 1 to 10 C atoms),
are reacted with ozone in the presence of inert organic solvents and the mixture is then worked up by reduction.
The 8-alkenylchromones used as starting substances are known or can be prepared by known processes (U.S. Pat. No. 3,350,411, compare also Synthesis 1982, 221).
Inert solvents which may be mentioned for the ozonolysis are: chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as, for example, methylene chloride, chloroform or carbon tetrachloride, esters, such as, for example, ethyl acetate, alcohols, such as, for example, methanol or ethanol and acids, such as, for example, formic acid or acetic acid.
The ozonolysis is carried out at -100.degree. C. to 20.degree. C., but preferably at -80.degree. C. to -30.degree. C., with subsequent working up by reduction, for example with dimethyl sulphide, with zinc dust, by catalytic hydrogenation or with sodium dithionite.
Only one mole of ozone is used per mole of chromone, in order to prevent splitting of further double bonds.
Enamines of the general formula (III) used for the preparation are known and can be prepared by known processes (compare A. C. Cope, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 67, 1017 (1945)).
Keto compounds of the general formula (IV) used for the preparation are known and can be prepared by known processes (J. Org. Chem. 20, 927 (1955).
Ketones having the structure (V) used for the preparation are known and can be prepared by known processes: for example, if Y=O, D. Borrmann, Umsetzung von Diketen mit Alkoholen, Phenolen und Mercaptanen (Reaction of diketene with alcohols, phenols and mercaptans) in Houben-Weyl, Methoden der Organischen Chemie (Methods of Organic Chemistry), Volume VII, 14, 230 et seq. (1968) and Y. Dikawa, K. Sugano and O. Yonemitsu, J. Org. Chem. 43, 2087 (1978).
Enamines of the general formula (VI) used for the preparation are known and can be prepared by known processes.
The benzylidene compounds having the structure (VII) used for the preparation are new, but can be prepared by known processes (compare G. Jones, "The Knoevenagel Condensation", in Org. Reactions Volume XV, 204 et seq. (1967)).
The compounds according to the invention display a valuable pharmacological action spectrum which could not be predicted. They can be used as cardiotonic agents for improving heart contractility. Moreover, since they increase the flow of Ca.sup.++ into the cells, they can be used as antihypotonic agents, for lowering the blood sugar level, for detumescing mucous membranes and for influencing the salt and liquid balance.
The compounds according to the invention can be converted in a known manner into the customary formulations, such as tablets, capsules, dragees, pills, granules, aerosols, syrups, emulsions, suspensions and solutions, using inert non-toxic, pharmaceutically suitable excipients or solvents. The therapeutically active compound should in each case be present in a concentration of about 0.5 to 90% by weight of the total mixture, that is to say in amounts which suffice to achieve the dosage range indicated.
The formulations are prepared, for example, by extending the active compounds with solvents and/or excipients, optionally with the use of emulsifiers and/or dispersing agents, and, for example when using water as a diluent, organic solvents can optionally be used as auxiliary solvents.
Examples of auxiliary substances which may be mentioned are: water, non-toxic organic solvents, such as paraffins (for example petroleum fractions), vegetable oils (for example groundnut oil/sesame oil), alcohols (for example ethyl alcohol and glycerol) and glycols (for example propylene glycol and polyethylene glycol), solid excipients, such as, for example, natural rock powders (for example kaolins, aluminas, talc and chalk), synthetic rock powders (for example highly disperse silica and silicates) and sugars (for example sucrose, lactose and glucose), emulsifiers (for example polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers, alkylsulphonates and arylsulphonates), dispersing agents (for example lignin, sulphite waste (liquors, methylcellulose, starch and polyvinylpyrrolidone) and lubricants (for example magnesium stearate, talc, stearic acid and sodium lauryl-sulphate).
Administration is effected in the customary manner, preferably orally or parenterally, in particular perlingually or intravenously. In the case of oral use, the tablets can, of course, also contain, in addition to the excipients mentioned, additives such as sodium citrate, calcium carbonate and dicalcium phophate, together with various additional substances, such as starch, preferably potato starch, gelatine and the like. Furthermore, lubricants, such as magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl-sulphate and talc, can be co-used when making tablets. In the case of aqueous suspensions and/or elixirs which are intended for oral use, the active compounds can be mixed with various flavor-improving agents or colorants in addition to the abovementioned auxiliary substances.
In the case of parenteral use, solutions of the active compounds, employing suitable liquid excipients, can be used.
In general, it has proved advantageous, in the case of intravenous administration, to administer amounts of about 0.001 to 1 mg/kg, preferably about 0.01 to 0.5 mg/kg, of body weight daily to achieve effective results, and in the case of oral administration, the dosage is about 0.01 to 20 mg/kg, preferably 0.1 to 10 mg/kg, of body weight daily.
Nevertheless, it can at times be necessary to deviate from the amounts mentioned, and in particular to do so as a function of the body weight of the experimental animal or of the nature of the administration method, but also because of the species of animal and its individual behavior towards the medicament, and its nature of the formulation of the medicament and the time or interval over which the administration takes place. Thus it can suffice in some cases to manage with less than the above-mentioned minimum amount, whilst in other cases the upper limit mentioned must be exceeded. Where relatively large amounts are administered, it can be advisable to divide these into several individual administrations over the course of the day. The same dosage range is envisaged for administration in human medicine. The above statements also apply here in the general sense.

TEST OF THE POSITIVE INOTROPIC EFFECT
TEST PROCEDURE
The left atria of guinea pig hearts are isolated and suspended in an organ bath which contains an isotonic mineral salt solution is adjusted to correspond with the ionic medium and the pH value of body fluids and also contains suitable nutrients. This organ bath is aerated with a gas mixture consisting of oxygen and carbon dioxide, the carbon dioxide content being such that the pH value of the organ bath remains constant. The left atria are fixed in the organ bath, the tension is recorded by means of a force transducer, a specific basic tonus being adjusted. Then the left atria are continuously electrically excited at specific intervals and the resulting contractions are recorded. The recording of the contractions is still carried out after the addition of the active compound. An increase of at least 25 % in the contractions is considered to be a significant positive inotropic effect.
Of particular significance are those compounds of the general formula (I) which, in the following test procedure, already begin to show a positively inotropic effect on the left atria of the isolated guinea-pig hearts at a concentration of 10.sup.-5 g/ml.
The following may be mentioned as examples:
