Synthesis and pharmacological effect of substituted phenyl-4-(2-chloroethyl)tetrahydro-1,4-oxazine hydrochlorides.

Substituted phenyl-4-(2-chloroethyl)tetrahydro-1,4-oxazine hydrochlorides were prepared by treating the corresponding amino alcohols with thionyl chloride. Since these compounds are considered to be monofunctional 2-haloalkylamine type agents, they were tested for possible alpha-adrenergic blocking activity using the rat anococcygeus muscle. The pharmacological action of this series of compounds is discussed.
