The present invention provides a process for the production of a compound of formula I as defined above which comprises reacting a compound of formula II

wherein m, n, p and R2 to R5 are as defined above, and Rx is a group capable of reacting with an amine :to give a 2-amino-1-hydroxysthyl group, with a compound of formula III
Rl NH2 III
wherein Rl is defined above; and where necessary or desired, forming a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt of the resulting compound of formula I.
The present process is an amination by a primary amlne. It may be effected in conventional manner for the production of analogous 3-amino-2-hydroxypropoxy-aryl compounds.FOr example R may be a group of formula -CH-CH2 or a reactive derivative of this group, e.g.
of formula -CH(OH)-CH2Y wherein Y is halogen, preferably chlorine or bromine/or a group Ry-SO2~O~ wherein Ry is phenyl, tolyl or lower alkyl. Y is especially chlorlne.

~*J' The reaction is effected preferably in an inert organic solvent/ e.g. in an appropriate ether such as dioxane- Optionally an excess of a compound of formula III may be used as solvent. Alternatively the reaction may be effected in a fusion melt.
Suitable reaction temperatures may be from about 20 to about 200 C, conveniently the reflux tempera-ture of the reaction mixture when a solvent is present.

Free base forms of the compounds of formula I
may be converted into acid addition salt forms in con-ventional manner and vice versa. Suitable acids for salt formation include maleic acid and fumaric acid.
In the compounds of formula I, the carbon atom to which the hydroxy group is bound is asymmetrically substituted. The compounds may thus exist in the ra-cemic form or in individual optical isomer form. If either R2 and R3 or R4 and R5 are not identical, then the compounds may exist in individual diastereoisomeric forms. In certain conditions these diastereoisomeric ,forms may be interconverted,e.g. when there is a hydrogen atom attached to a carbon atom adjacent to a carbonyl group,epimerisation may occur in the presence of a base.
Preferred ccmpounds are,however, the compounds wherein R2 and R3 are identical and R4 and R5 are identical.The ; preferred optical isomer has the S co~figuration at the asymmetrically substituted carbon atom of the hy-droxypropoxy side chain.

Individual optical isomer forms and diastereo-isomeric forms may be obtained in conventional manner.
For example the S isomers may be produced by using optically active starting materials or by fractional crystallisation using optically active acids. Indi-vidual diastereoisomeric forms may be similarly obtained `
using fractional crystallisation, or chromatography, of a mixture of salt forms or using optically active starting materials.
The starting materials may be obtained as follows: - ;

~1) In vivo _______ :
Rats are fasted for 16 hours. A sub-cutaneous injection of 400 ~g/kg of isoproterenol results in a glycerol concentration in the blood plasma of 400~ the original value. This increased glycerol concentration remains constant for ca. 60 minutes and acts as a control value. The test substance is administered s.c. at a do~e of ~ - 17 -. 'l' . ~ ~

from about 0.01 to about 0.5 mg/kg 10 minutes before the isoproterenol injection, and the animals are decapitated 40 minutes after the isoproterenol injection. The glycerol concentration in the blood is ca~culated in conventional manner, e.g. using the~ conventional glycero-3-phosphate-dehydrogenase method ~according S. Laurell et al;
reference as mentioned above].

The compounds are therefore indicated for use in the treatment of the increase of free fatty acid concentration in the blood induced by emotional stress, and also inhibit lipolysis induced by emotional stress, and myocardial infarction induced by emotional stress.

/
The compounds of formula I additionally inhibit hyperglycemia induced by emotional stress, as indicated by an inhibition of glycogenolysis in standard tests, as follows:-In the above-mentioned rat in vivo test the glucose concentration in the blood is determined in conventional manner, e.g. using the ferricyanide method.
In the control animals the glucose concentration doubles after 40 minutes after isoproterenol administration. The compounds are administered parenterally at a dose of from about 0.01 to about 5 mg/kg animal body weiqht.

The compounds are therefore indicated for use in the treatment of hyperglycemia induced by emotional stress, e.g. for suppressing of appetite induced by emotional stress.

Additionally, the compounds exhibit a cardio-vascular adrenergic ~-blocking effect as indicated in standard tests, e.g. by an inhibition of the positive inotropic adrenaline effect in the spontaneously beating guinea pig atrium at bath concentrations of from 0.005 to 2.5 mg/litre in accordance with the method of K.Sam~eli, Helv. Physiol.Acta 25, CR 215-221 tl967); and in the infusion test in narcotized cats at doses of approximately 0.02 to 0.6 mg/kg i.v., where they induce a strong, long `~
lasting inhibition of the tachycardia and blood pressure lowering caused by isoproterenol.
The compounds are therefore indicated for use as cardio-vascular adrenergic ~-blockina asents, e.g. for the prophylaxis and therapy of Angina pectoris, and also as arrhythmics.
In general, the 2(S) optical isomers are more active than the 2(R) optical isomers in the cardiovas-cular ~-blocking tests.
For all these indications an indicated daily dose is from about 1 to about 200 mg, conveniently - lg -s~

administered in divided doses 2 to 4 times a day in unit dosage form containing from about 0.25 to about 100 mg of the compound or in sustained release form.

The compounds of formula I also exhibit a sali-diuretic effect ~s indicated in standard tests, e.g. in the diuretic rat test in accordance with the principles of E. Fluckiger et al, Schweiz.med. Wschr. 1963, 93, 1232, on administration p.o. of from about 0.1 to about - ~0 mg/kg animal body weight of the comPounds.

The compoundsare therefore indicated for use as salidiuretic agents, e.g. for thP treatment of odema and hypertension.
An indicated daily dose is from abol~t 1 to about 100 mg, conveniently administered in divided do-ses 2 to 4 times a day in unit dosage form con-taining from abQut 0.25 to about 50 mg of the compaunds, or in sustained release form.

The example 1 and 2 compounds exhibit particu-larly interesting properties.

The compounds may be administered in pharmaceuti-cally acceptable acid addition salt form. Such forms exhiblt the same order of activity as the free base forms, The present invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of formula I in free base form or in pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt form, in association with a pharmaceutical carrier or diluent. Such compositions may be formulated in conventional manner so as to be, for example, a solution or f ablet.
