In another preferred embodiment, the heterocyclic lower-alkyl ring system is selected from the group consisting of pyrazol-1-yl lower-alkyl, tetrazol-1-yl lower-alkyl, tetrazol-2-yl lower-alkyl, isoindol-2-yl lower-alkyl, benzimidazol-1-yl lower-alkyl, and benzimidazol-2-yl lower-alkyl. The heterocyclic ring may be unsubstituted or substituted, wherein the substituents are selected from the group consisting of halogen, oxygen, hydroxyl, nitro, amino, carbonyl, lower-alkoxy carbonyl, lower-alkyl, lower-cycloalkyl, lower-alkoxy, lower-thioalkyl, halogenated lower-alkyl, aryl, halogenated aryl, heterocyclics, and combinations thereof.

In a preferred embodiment, the lower-alkyl group is selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, 2-hydroxyethyl, 2-oxoethyl, and 2-thioethyl. In a more preferred embodiment, the lower-alkyl group is methyl or ethyl. R.sub.4 is methyl. The term "lower-alkyl", as used herein, means branched- or unbranched-hydrocarbon groups containing from 1 to 7 carbon atoms. The term "lower-alkoxy", as used herein, means branched- or unbranched-hydrocarboxy groups containing from 1 to 7 carbon atoms. The term "lower-cycloalkyl", as used herein, means cyclic alkyl groups containing from 3 to 6 carbon atoms. Preferred heterocyclic groups include from 6 to 12 carbon atoms and can include the substituents discussed above in connection with heterocyclic groups. The term "halogen", as used herein, refers to the chemically related elements fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine. The compounds of the present invention which have at least one asymmetric carbon atom can exist in optically active isomeric forms. For example, in compounds in which R.sub.2 is a 2-phenyl-1-propyl or 1-phenyl-2-propyl group, etc., the carbon adjacent to the piperidinyl nitrogen is an asymmetric carbon atom and such compounds can therefore exist in optical active isomeric (enantiomeric) forms. Such isomeric forms can be isolated from the racemic mixtures by techniques known to those skilled in the art. The compounds of the present invention which have an alkyl group as the R.sub.4 group exist in cis or trans form. Such compounds can be used as a mixture of such forms but many times one form is more active than the other or has other desirable characteristics. Thus, many times it is desirable to resolve the cis/trans mixture. This resolution can be accomplished by techniques conventional in the art for such purpose, e.g., chromatographic techniques such as column chromatography or high pressure liquid chromatography or simple recrystallization techniques. The compounds of the present invention can be prepared by various methods. In general, the desired compounds having Formulae I, II or III above can be prepared by reacting a compound having the formula: ##STR9## with a compound having the formula: R.sub.1 --CO--X or (R.sub.1 CO).sub.2 O or by reacting a compound having the formula: ##STR10## with a compound having the formula: R.sub.2 X wherein the substituent groups R, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 have the definitions set out above, and X represents halide or its reactive equivalent. Examples of halide reactive equivalents are toluene sulfonate, phenyl sulfonate, methyl sulfonate and the like. In the first reaction, when the R.sub.2 group is phenylmethyl (benzyl), the phenylmethyl group can be cleaved by hydrogenolysis or by reaction with 1-chloroethyl chloroformate followed by hydrolysis with methanol, see R. A. Olofson et al., J. Org. Chem., 49, pp. 2081-2082 (1984), and replaced with other R.sub.2 groups such as furanyl lower-alkyl, pyrazoyl lower-alkyl and the like. The preparation of secondary amines of the latter type has been described by P. G. H. Van Daele et al., Arzneim-Forsch. Drug Res., 26, p. 1521, (1976). Several convenient routes for the preparation of the compounds of the invention begin with known piperidone starting materials as shown below: ##STR11## The compound 1-(2-phenylethyl)-4-piperidone (1), when R.sub.3 .dbd.H, or 1-(2-phenylethyl)-3-methyl-4-piperidone (1), when R.sub.3 .dbd.CH.sub.3, can be prepared according to the procedure published by A. H. Becket, A. F. Casey and G. Kirk, J. Med Pharm. Chem., Vol. 1, p. 37 (1959 . The compound 1-phenylmethyl-4-piperidone (2), when R3.dbd.H, or 1-phenylmethyl-3-methyl-4-piperidone (2), when R.sub.3 .dbd.CH.sub.3, can be prepared in an analogous manner by the procedure described by C. R. Ganellin and R. G. Spickch, J. Med. Chem., Vol. 8, p. 619 (1965) or P. M. Carabateas and L. Grumbach, J. Med. Pharm. Chem., Vol. 5, p. 913 (1962). In one example of a method for preparing the compounds of the present invention, 1-phenylmethyl or 1 (2-phenylethyl)-4-piperidone is reacted with an unsubstituted or substituted heterocyclic amine to form a Schiff base. The Schiff base is then reduced, for example, with sodium borohydride to yield the unsubstituted or substituted 1-phenylmethyl or 1-(2-phenylethyl)-4-(N-heterocycloamine)-piperidine compound. See for example, S. Grossman et al., Arch. Pharm. (Weinheim) 311, p. 1010 (1978). The following reaction scheme, wherein R is a heterocyclic group within the definition of the present invention, illustrates such a method: ##STR12## When the R.sub.4 group is hydrogen, compound (3) can be reacted with an appropriate acid halide (e.g., R.sub.1 COCl) or an anhydride (e.g., (R.sub.1 CO).sub.2 O) to introduce the desired R.sub.1 -carbonyl group on the nitrogen atom and thereby obtain compound (I) of the present invention, according to the reaction scheme shown below: ##STR13## When the R.sub.4 group is methyl, cis and trans isomers of compound (3) are created. The cis and trans isomers can be separated before or after reaction with an acid halide or anhydride, as set out above, thereby obtaining cis and trans isomers of compound (I) of the present invention. Separation of the cis/trans isomers can be carried out according to the following reaction scheme: ##STR14## When the desired R.sub.2 substituent group is not phenylethyl, one procedure for preparing compounds of the present invention with different R.sub.2 groups is to remove the phenylmethyl group in compound (2) by hydrogenolysis (for example, using hydrogen over 10% palladium on carbon) or by reaction with 1-chloroethyl chloroformate above and replace it with a desired R.sub.2 group. For example, compounds of the invention can be prepared according to the following scheme: ##STR15## As set out above, when the R.sub.4 group is methyl, compound (4) is a mixture of cis and trans isomers which can be separated prior to the next step. When the R.sub.4 groups is hydrogen, no preliminary cis/trans isomer separation is necessary. After any such cis/trans separation, compound (4) can be reacted with hydrogen over palladium on carbon or with 1-chloroethyl chloroformate according to the following reaction scheme to remove the phenylmethyl group and prepare piperidinyl intermediate (5): ##STR16## The desired R.sub.2 substituent group can then be introduced by reacting compound (5) with an appropriately reactive molecule R.sub.2 -X, wherein X is halogen, such as chlorine, bromine, or iodine, or its reactive equivalent, to obtain compound (I) of the present invention according to the reaction scheme illustrated below: ##STR17## The reaction of R.sub.2 -X with a piperdinyl intermediate such as compound (5) can be conducted in an inert organic solvent such as, for example, an aromatic hydrocarbon, a ketone such as 4-methyl-2-pentanone and the like, an ether such as 1,4-dioxane, diethylether, tetrahydofuran, 1,2-dimethoxyethane and the like, or N,N-dimethylformamide or acetonitrile. The addition of an appropriate base, such as an alkali metal carbonate, may be utilized to neutralize the acid generated during the reaction. The addition of an iodide salt, such as an alkali metal iodide, may be appropriate. The temperature of the reaction mixture may be raised to increase the rate of reaction when appropriate. In an alternative procedure, the phenylmethyl group can first be removed by hydrogenolysis or by reaction with 1-chloroethyl chloroformate prior to separation of the cis/trans isomers of compound (4) to obtain compound (I) of the present invention with the R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 groups introduced according to one of the two schemes shown below: ##STR18## In a second example of a method for preparing the compounds of the present invention, an intermediate such as N-(phenylethyl)-4-piperidineamine (6) is utilized. In this method, the primary amine is reacted with a heterocycle group RX, where X is a halide or its reactive equivalent, to form a secondary amine precursor (7). The secondary amine is then acrylated. See, for example, Y. Zhu et al., Acta Pharm. Sinica, 16, p. 199 (1981). The following reaction scheme, wherein R is a heterocyclic group within the definition of the present invention, illustrates such a method to make compound (I) of the present invention. ##STR19## In a third example of a method for preparing the compounds of the present invention, the same intermediate, such as N-(phenylethyl)-4-piperidineamine (6), is utilized. In this method, the primary amine is reacted with an oxo-derivative of the heterocycle group R to form a secondary amine precursor. The oxo-intermediate is reduced prior to acylation. See, for example, Langhein et al., Offenlegungschrift, 234, p. 1965 (1975); Chem. Abstr. 82, 156121w (1975). Compounds of the present invention which have 4,4-disubstitution can be prepared starting with, for example, N-phenylmethyl-4-piperidone by the following reaction scheme: ##STR20## The compounds of the present invention while effective in the form of the free base may be formulated and administered in the form of the therapeutically or pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts for purposes of stability, convenience Of crystallization, increased solubility and the like. These acid addition salts include inorganic acid salts such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, nitric, phosphoric, perchloric acid salts and the like; and organic acid salts such as acetic, trifluoroacetic, propionic, oxalic, hydroxyacetic, meth- oxyacetic, 2-hydroxypropanoic, 2/oxopropanoic, propanedioic, 2-hydroxy-butanedioic, benzoic, 2-hydroxybenzoic, 4-amino-2-hydroxy-benzoic, 3/phenyl-2-propenoic, alpha-hydroxybenzeneacetic, methanesulfonic, ethanesulfonic, benzenesulfonic, toluene-sulfonic, cyclohexanesulfamic, succinic, tartaric, citric, maleic, fumaric acid salts and the like. The preferred acid addition salts are chloride, oxalate and citrate. These acid addition salts can be prepared by conventional methods, such as by treatment of the free base of the inventive compound with the appropriate acid. The compounds of the present invention, prepared in the free base form, can be combined with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to provide a pharmaceutical composition. Suitable carriers for the free bases include propylene glycol-alcohol-water, isotonic water, sterile water for injection (USP), emulphor.TM.-alcohol-water, cremophor-EL.TM. or other suitable carriers known to those skilled in the art. The compounds of the present invention, prepared in the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt form, can also be combined with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to provide a pharmaceutical composition. Suitable carriers for the acid addition salts include isotonic water, sterile water for injection (USP), alone or in combination with other solubilizing agents such as ethanol, propylene glycol, or other conventional solubilizing agents known to those skilled in the art. Of course, the type of carrier will vary depending upon the mode of administration desired for the pharmaceutical composition as is conventional in the art. A preferred carrier is an isotonic aqueous solution of the inventive compound. The compounds of the present invention can be administered to mammals, e.g., animals or humans, in amounts effective to provide the desired analgesic therapeutic effect or to reverse the actions of an opiate analgesic. Since the activity of the compounds and the degree of the desired therapeutic effect vary, the dosage level of the compound employed will also vary. The actual dosage administered will also be determined by such generally recognized factors as the body weight of the patient and the individual hypersensitiveness of the particular patient. Thus, the unit dosage for a particular patient (man) can be as low as about 0.00005 mg/kg, which the practitioner may titrate to the desired effect. The compounds of the present invention can be administered parenterally, in the form of sterile solutions or suspensions, such as intravenously, intramuscularly or subcutaneously in the carriers previously described. The compounds may also be administered orally, in the form of pills, tablets, capsules, troches, and the like, as well as sublingually, rectally, or transcutaneously with a suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carrier for that particular mode of administration as is conventional in the art. For parental therapeutic administration, the compounds of the present invention may be incorporated into a sterile solution or suspension. These preparations should contain at least about 0.1% of the inventive compound, by weight, but this amount may be varied to between about 0.1% and about 50% of the inventive compound, by weight of the parental composition. The exact amount of the inventive compound present in such compositions is such that a suitable dosage level will be obtained. Preferred compositions and preparations according to the present invention are prepared so that a paranteral dosage unit contains from between about 0.5 to about 100 milligrams of the inventive compound. The sterile solutions or suspensions may also include the following adjuvants: a sterile diluent, such as water for injection, saline solution, fixed oils, polyethylene glycol, glycerine, propylene glycol, or other synthetic solvent; antibacterial agents, such as benzyl alcohol or methyl paraben; antioxidants, such as ascorbic acid or sodium metabisulfite; chelating agents, such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA); buffers, such as acetates, citrates or phosphates; and agents for the adjustment of tonicity, such as sodium chloride or dextrose. The parental preparations may be enclosed in ampules, disposable syringes, or multiple dose vials made of glass or plastic. The compounds of the present invention can also be administered orally. For oral therapeutic administration, the compounds may be incorporated with excipients and used in the form of tablets, capsules, elixirs, suspensions, syrups, wafers, chewing gums and the like. These preparations should contain at least about 4% of the inventive compound, by weight, but this amount may be varied depending upon the particular dosage form from between about 4% to about 70% of the inventive compound, by weight of the oral composition. The exact amount of the compound present in the composition is such that a suitable dosage will be obtained. Preferred compositions and preparations according to the present invention are prepared so that an oral dosage unit form contains from between about 5 to about 300 milligrams of the inventive compound. The tablets, pills, capsules, troches and the like may also contain the following adjuvants: a binder, such as microcrystalline cellulose, gum tragacanth or gelatine; an excipient, such as starch or lactose; a disintegrating agent, such as alginic acid, Primogel, corn starch and the like; a lubricating agent, such as magnesium stearate or Sterotex; a gliding agent, such as colloidal silicon dioxide; a sweetening agent, such as sucrose or saccharin; and a flavoring agent, such as peppermint, methyl salicylate or orange flavoring. When the dosage form is a capsule, it may additionally contain a liquid carrier such as a fatty oil. Other dosage unit forms may contain other materials which modify the physical form of the dosage unit, such as enteric coatings. Thus tablets or pills may be coated with sugar, shellac, or other enteric coating agents. A syrup may contain, in addition to the above adjuvants, sucrose as a sweetening agent, preservatives, dyes, coloring agents and flavoring agents. It is especially advantageous to formulate the pharmaceutical compositions in dosage unit forms for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. The term dosage unit forms a used herein refers to physically discrete units suitable for use as a unitary dosage, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active ingredient calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the pharmaceutical carrier. Examples of such dosage unit forms are tablets (including scored or coated tablets), capsules, pills, powder packets, wafers, injectable solutions or suspensions, teaspoonfuls, tablespoonfuls and the like, and segregated multiples thereof. The present invention is further illustrated by the following examples which are presented for purposes of demonstrating, but not limiting, the preparation of the compounds and compositions of this invention.

EXAMPLE 4 This Example illustrates the preparation of halogenated heterocyclic alkyl electrophile intermediate compounds in sodium ethoxide in ethanol. The heterocyclic alkyl electrophile intermediates of type (10), when not commercially available, were generally synthesized by three routes of alkylation. These routes include substitution of an appropriate heterocyclic intermediate with 2-bromochloroethane or 1,2-dibromoethane in (1) sodium ethoxide-ethanol, (2) sodium hydride-dimethylformamide, or (3) quaternary ammonium phase transfer medium. A few procedures included alkylation of a peripheral thio group. The alcohol intermediates were activated by tosylation or chlorination with thionyl chloride. The heterocyclic alkyl electrophile intermediates were generally worked-up in the following manner. The reaction medium was concentrated under vacuum, the crude concentrate was partitioned between methylene chloride (CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2) or chloroform (CHCl.sub.3) (50 ml) and water (50 ml), the aqueous layer was extracted with additional organic solvent, the combined organic extracts were washed with water (50 ml), brine (30 ml), and the organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate (Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4). The heterocyclic alkyl electrophile intermediates of type (10) were usually purified by column chromatography using the following solvent systems: A=chloroform; B=chloroform-methanol-triethylamine, 19:1:0.1; C=chloroform-methanol-triethylamine, 80:1:0.1; D=chloroform-methanol, 19:1; E=chloroform-methanol, 40:1; F=hexane-ethyl acetate-triethylamine, 4:1:0.1; G=hexane-ethyl acetate-triethylamine, 5:1:0.1; H=hexane-ethyl acetate-triethylamine, 5:5:0.1; I=hexane-ethyl acetate-ammonium hydroxide, 3:1:0.1; J=hexane-ethyl acetate, 1:1; K=hexane-ethyl acetate, 3:1; L=hexane-ethyl acetate, 7:1. The purity of the heterocyclic alkyl electrophile intermediates was confirmed by thin layer chromatography (TLC) analysis. The structure of the heterocyclic alkyl electrophile intermediates was confirmed by .sup.1 H NMR analysis wherein the characteristic resonances of the heterocyclic moiety were compared to the characteristic resonances of the immediate precursor. Usually two prominent triplets were observed at approximately 3.70 ppm (heterocycle-CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 X) and at approximately 4.20 ppm (heterocycle-CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 X). These heterocyclic alkyl electrophile intermediates were used directly in the synthesis of the compounds of the present invention without further characterization. The pertinent data for each heterocyclic alkyl electrophile intermediate is presented below in the following format after each general method: (heterocyclic alkyl electrophile precursor, source of precursor, % yield, letter designation for column chromatography solvent system). Sodium pieces (0.79 g, 34.3 mmol were dissolved in absolute ethanol (150 ml and the resulting solution was cooled to room temperature. A quantity of 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1H-pyrazole (7.3 g, 34.3 mmol, Makabe et al., Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn., 1975, 48, p. 3210) was added in one portion to the solution and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 minutes. A quantity of 1,2-dibromoethane (34.3 ml, 69.6 mmol) was then added to the solution in one portion and the reaction mixture was heated under reflux for 24 hours. The reaction mixture was then cooled and concentrated under vacuum and the residue worked-up as described above. The intermediate was purified by column chromatography 400 g fine silica; chloroform-methanol, 40:1) to yield 3.9 g (31%) of 2-(3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl ethyl) bromide. EXAMPLE 5 This Example illustrates the preparation of halogenated heterocyclic alkyl electrophile intermediate compounds in sodium ethoxide in ethanol.
