For example, where said nitrogen is substituted with C.sub.1-6 alkylcarbonyl, by treating the starting material with an aqueous acidic or basic solution optionally in admixture with an organic solvent.
Compounds of formula (I) containing a hydroxy function may be Q-alkylated or Q-acylated according to art-known procedures, e.g. by stirring the former with an appropriate acylating agent, e.g. an acid anhydride or appropriate alkylating agent, if desired, in the presence of sodium hydride.
The compounds of formula (I) containing an arylmethoxy substituent may be converted into the corresponding compounds of formula (I) containing a hydroxy function, following art-known catalytic hydrogenolysis procedures.
Compounds of formula (I) bearing a protective dioxolan ring may be deacetalized to yield the corresponding oxo compounds. Said deacetalization may be conducted following procedures widely known in the art such as, for example, by reacting the starting materials in an acidic aqueous medium.
The compounds of formula (I) may also be converted to the corresponding N-oxide forms following art-known procedures for converting a trivalent nitrogen to its N-oxide-form. Said N-oxidation reaction may generally be carried out by reacting the starting material of formula (I) with an appropriate organic or inorganic peroxide. Appropriate inorganic peroxides comprise, for example, hydrogen peroxide, an alkali metal or earth alkali metal peroxide, e.g. sodium peroxide, potassium peroxide, barium peroxide and the like; appropriate organic peroxides may comprise peroxy acids such as, for example, benzenecarboperoxoic acid or halo substituted benzenecarboperoxoic acid, e.g. 3-chlorobenzenecarboperoxoic acid and the like, peroxoalkanoic acids, e.g. peroxoacetic acid and the like, alkylhydroperoxides, e.g. t.butyl hydroperoxide and the like. Said N-oxidation may be carried out in a suitable solvent such as for example, water, lower alkanols, e.g. methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol and the like, hydrocarbons, e.g. benzene, methylbenzene, dimethylbenzene and the like, ketones, e.g. 2-propanone, 2-butanone and the like, halogenated hydrocarbons, e.g. dichloromethane, trichloromethane and the like, and mixtures of such solvents. In order to enhance the reaction rate, it may be appropriate to heat the reaction mixture.
Some of the intermediates and starting materials in the foregoing preparations are known compounds while others are novel. They may be prepared according to art-known methodologies of preparing said known or similarly known compounds. Some procedures for preparing such intermediates will be described hereinafter in more detail.
The intermediates of formula (II) may be derived from an appropriately substituted piperidine of formula (XXIV) by reacting the latter with a reagent of formula (V) or a functional derivative thereof, following the amidation procedures described for the preparation of (I) starting from (IV) and (v), and subsequently removing of the protective group P in the thus obtained intermediate (XXV) following art-known procedures, e.g. by hydrolysis in an acidic or an alkaline aqueous medium or by catalytic hydrogenation, depending upon the nature of P. ##STR22## In the reaction of (XXIv) with (V) and in the following reaction schemes P represents a suitable protective group which is readily removeable by hydrogenation or hydrolysation. Preferred protective groups may for example be, hydrogenolyzable groups e.g. phenylmethyl and the like, and hydrolyzable groups e.g. C.sub.1-6 alkyloxycarbonyl and the like.
The intermediates of formula (Iv) can be derived from an appropriately substituted piperidine of formula (XXVI) by alkylating the latter with an appropriate reagent, following the alkylation procedures described for (I) starting from (II) and (III) and, subsequently removing the protective group P in the thus obtained intermediate following art-known procedures described hereinbefore. ##STR23## The intermediates of formula (XXIv), can easily be converted into the intermediates of formula (XXVI), for example, by introducing a protective group P.sup.1 on the exocyclic amine function and selectively removing the protective group P.sup.2 on the endocyclic amine function. ##STR24## P.sup.1 and P.sup.2 represents suitable protective groups as defined hereinbefore which are readily introduced and removed. Suitable protective groups are, for example, hydrogenolyzable groups as P.sup.1 radicals, e.g. a phenylmethyl group and the like, and hydrolyzable groups as P.sup.2 radicals, e.g. C.sub.1-6 alkyloxycarbonyl, a C.sub.1-6 alkylcarbonyl and the like. In general, the piperidines (vIII), (XXIV) and (XXVI) used as starting materials, can be prepared following procedures analogous to those described in Drug Development Research 8, 225-232 (1986) and in the Published Eur. Pat. Appl. No. 0,076,530 which corresponds to U.S. application Ser. No. 403,603, which are incorporated herein as reference.
From formula (I) it is evident that the compounds of this invention and some intermediates have at least two asymmetric carbon atoms in their structure.
Pure stereochemically isomeric forms of the compounds of formula (I) may be obtained by the application of art-known procedures. Diastereoisomers may be separated by physical separation methods such as selective crystallization and chromatographic techniques, e.g., counter current distribution, and enantiomers may be separated from each other by the selective crystallization of their diastereomeric salts with optically active acids or their optically activated derivatives.
It is evident that the cis and trans diastereomeric racemates may be further resolved into their optical isomers, cis(+), cis(-), trans(+) and trans(-) by the application of methodologies known to those skilled in the art.
Pure stereochemically isomeric forms may also be derived from the corresponding pure stereochemically isomeric forms of the appropriate starting materials, provided that the reaction occurs stereospecifically.
The compounds of formula (I) containing an alkene moiety may be present in a "E" or "Z" form, said E- and Z-notation having the meanings described in J. Org. Chem., 35, 2849-2868 (1970).
Stereochemically isomeric forms of the compounds of formula (I) are naturally intended to be embraced within the scope of the invention.
The compounds of formula (I), the N-oxide forms, the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts and possible stereoisomeric forms thereof possess favourable gastrointestinal motility stimulating properties. In particularly they show an accelerated gastric emptying. The latter property is clearly evidenced by the results obtained in the "Gastric emptying of a liquid meal in rats"-test described hereinafter.
The stimulatory effect of the subject compounds on the motility of the gastrointestinal system may further be evidenced by, for example, the "Amplification of contrations induced by submaximal transmural stimulation of Guinea pig ileum"-test described in The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 234, 775-783 (1985) and the "Amplification of contrations induced by supramaximal transmural stimulation of Guinea pig ileum"-test both described hereinafter.
Similar experiments revealed that some compounds of formula (I), the N-oxide forms, the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts and possible stereoisomeric forms antagonize the gastrointestinal relaxation as induced by several exogenous agonists.
In view of their useful gastrointestinal motility enhancing properties the subject compounds may be formulated into various forms for administration purposes.
To prepare the pharmaceutical compositions of this invention, an effective amount of the particular compound, in base or acid addition salt form, as the active ingredient is combined in intimate admixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, which carrier may take a wide variety of forms depending on the form of preparation desired for administration. These pharmaceutical compositions are desirably in unitary dosage form suitable, preferably, for administration orally, rectally or by parenteral injection. For example, in preparing the compositions in oral dosage form, any of the usual pharmaceutical media may be employed, such as, for example, water, glycols, oils, alcohols and the like in the case of oral liquid preparations such as suspensions, syrups, elixirs and solutions; or solid carriers such as starches, sugars, kaolin, lubricants, binders, disintegrating agents and the like in the case of powders, pills, capsules and tablets. Because of their ease in administration, tablets and capsules represent the most advantageous oral dosage unit form, in which case solid pharmaceutical carriers are obviously employed. For parenteral compositions, the carrier will usually comprise sterile water, at least in large part, though other ingredients, for example, to aid solubility, may be included. Injectable solutions, for example, may be prepared in which the carrier comprises saline solution, glucose solution or a mixture of saline and glucose solution. Injectable suspensions may also be prepared in which case appropriate liquid carriers, suspending agents and the like may be employed. In the compositions suitable for percutaneous administration, the carrier optionally comprises a penetration enhancing agent and/or a suitable wetting agent, optionally combined with suitable additives of any nature in minor proportions, which additives do not cause a significant deletorious effect to the skin. Said additives may facilitate the administration to the skin and/or may be helpful for preparing the desired compositions. These compositions may be administered in various ways, e.g., as a transdermal patch, as a spot-on, as an ointment. Acid addition salts of (I) due to their increased water solubility over the corresponding base form, are obviously more suitable in the preparation of aqueous compositions.
It is especially advantageous to formulate the aforementioned pharmaceutical compositions in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. Dosage unit form as used in the specification and claims herein refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active ingredient calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the required 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.
In view of their capability to stimulate the motility of the gastrointestinal system and, in particular their capacity to accelerate the gastric emptying, the subject compounds are useful to normalize or to improve the gastric and intestinal emptying in subjects suffering from a disturbed motility, e.g. a decreased peristalsis, of the oesophagus and/or stomach and/or small and/or large intestine.
In view of the utility of the compounds of the present invention, there is provided a method of treating warm-blooded animals suffering from motility disorders of the gastrointestinal system such as, for example, oesophagitis, gastroparesis, flatulent dyspepsia, non-ulcer dyspepsia, pseudo-obstruction, impaired colonic transit and the like disorders. Said method comprises the systemic administration of an effective gastrointestinal motor-stimulating amount of a compound of formula (I), a N-oxide, a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt or a possible stereoisomeric form thereof, to warm-blooded animals.
Those of skill in the pertinent art could easily determine the effective motor-stimulating amount from the test results presented hereinafter.
In general it is contemplated that an effective amount would be from 0.001 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg body weight, and more preferably from 0.01 mg/kg to 1 mg/kg body weight.
The following examples are intended to illustrate and not to limit the invention in all its aspects. Unless otherwise stated all parts therein are by weight.

Pharmacological Examples
The useful gastrointestinal motility stimulating properties of the compounds of the present invention and their capability to accelerate the gastric emptying can be demonstrated in the following tests.
Example 29: Amplification of Contractions Induced by Submaximal Transmural Stimulation of the Guinea-Pig Ileum
Non-terminal ileum segments of the guinea-pig were vertically suspended with a preload of 1 g in a 100 ml tyrode bath (37.5.degree. C.) and gassed with a mixture of 95% O.sub.2 and 5% CO.sub.2. Contractions were measured isometrically. Transmural excitation was applied over the whole length of the ileum strip by means of two platinum electrodes (0.5 mm diamater), the anode was passed through the lumen of the ileum, the cathode was dipped in the bath solution. The tissue was excited with single rectangular stimuli of 1 msec duration and submaximal intensity at a frequency of 6 per minute, said stimuli being known to release acetylcholine from intramural nerve endings.
After a stabilization period of 30 minutes, a single dose of the test substance was added to the bath solution and its effect was followed for another 30 minutes. Drug effects were expressed as percentage of the initial contractility value before drug administration. Table 1 illustrates the lowest effective concentration of the test substance whereby a 20% increase was noted over the initial contractility before drug administration.

Example 31: Gastric Emptying of a Liquid Meal in Rats
Gastric emptying was measured in rats according to a modified version of a method originally devised by Reynell and Spray (J. Physiol. 131: 452-456, 1956). Rats were food deprived during 24 hours and isolated in individual cages. Water was withdrawn at the start of the experiments. The test meal, which consisted of a warm suspension of 200 mg phenol red in 40 ml distilled water was given by oral intubation (0.4 ml/rat) half an hour after subcutaneous administration of 0.16, 0.63, 2.5, 10 or 40 mg/kg of a compound of formula (I) or saline. The stomach was then exposed by laparotomy, quickly ligated at the pylorus and cardia, and removed. The stomach was cut up, and its contents was extracted with 100ml of 0.1N sodium hydroxide. The phenol red content of this extract was assayed colorimetrically at 558 nm in a spectrophotometer. A mean value of 1.41 extinction units was obtained in saline-treated animals. Table 3 shows the mean extinction units following test injections of 0.16, 0.63, 2.5, 10 or 40 mg/kg test compound.
