The term lower rad.tcals is used to describe those con-taining up to 7 C-atoms. .

Lower alkyl radicals are for example methyl, ethyl, n-propyl or isopropyl, or straight-chain or branched buty~, pentyl or hexyl, which can be bonded in any desired posi-tion.

This reaction is carried out in the usual manner, especially using an excess of amine, and optionally in a solvent and at elevated temperature, preferably above 1~0C.
~ epending on the process conditions and starting substances, the final substances are obtained in the free form or in the form of their acid addition salts, which are also included in the invention. Thus for example basic, neutral or mixed salts, and where relevant also hemihydrates, mono-hydrates, sesquihydrates or polyhydrates thereof, can be obtained. The acid addition salts of the new compounds can be converted into the free compound in a manner which is in itself known, for example with basic agents, such as alkalis or ion exchangers. On the other hand, the resulting free bases can form salts with organic or inorganic acids. In order to manufacture acid addition salts, such acids are especially used as are suitable for forming therapeutically usable salts. As such acids there may for example be mentioned:
hydrohalic acids, sulphuric acids, phosphoric acids, nitric acid, perchloric acid, aliphatic, alicyclic, aromatic or heterocyclic carboxylic or sulphonic acids, such as formic, acetic, propionic, succinic, glycollic, lactic, malic, tartaric, citric, ascorbic, maleic, hydroxymaleic or pyruvic acid; phenyl-acetic, benzoic, p-aminobenzoic, anthranilic, p-hydroxybenzoic, salicylic or p-aminosalicylic acid, embonic acid, methanesulphonic, ethanesulphonic, hydroxyethanesulphonic and ethylenesulphonic acid; halogenobenzenesulphonic, toluenesulphonic, naphthalenesulphonic or sulphanilic acid; methionine, tryptophan, lysine or arginine.
These or other salts of the new compounds, such as for example the picrates, can also serve or the purification of the resulting , free bases, by converting the free bases into salts, separating these off and again liberating the bases from the salts. In view of the close relationships between the new compounds in the free form and in the form of their salts, the free compounds are, in the preceding and following text~ where appropriate also to be understood to include the corresponding salts as regards sense and purpose.
The invention also relates to those embodiments of the process in which a reagent is optionally present in the form of its salts.

Rl O OH
., , N - C - NH - Ph - O - CH2 - CH - CHO (XVIII) wherein Rl, R2 and Ph have the above significance, with an amine of formula H2N-R3, wherein R3 has the above significance, in the presence of a suitable reducing agent such as one of those mentioned above. Here a compound of formula XII is obtained as an intermediate product and this is then reduced in accordance with the invention.
It is furthermore possible in a suitable manner to react an amine of formula VI with an aldehyde or ketone of formula O=R3', wherein R3' has the above significance, in the presence of a suitable reducing agent, such as one of those mentioned above. Here a compound of formula XIII or XIV is obtained as an intermediate product and this is then reduced in accordance with the invention.
The new compounds can, to the extent that they possess asymetric ?
carbon atoms, and depending on the choice of the starting substances and working methods, be present as optical antipodes or racemates or, to the extent that they contain at least two asymmetric carbon atoms, also as .

- :

-isomer mixtures (racemate mixtures).
Resulting isomer mixtures (racemate mixtures) can be resolved into the t~o stereoisomeric (disastereomeric) pure racemates on the basis of the physico-chemical differences of the constituents in a known manner, for example bychromatography and/or fractional crystallisation.
Resulting racemates can be resolved according to known methods, for example by recrystallisation from an optically active solvent, with the aid of micro-organisms or by reaction with an optically active acid which forms salts with the racemic compound and separation of the salts obtained in this manner, for example on the basis of their different solubilities, into the diastereomers, from which the antipodes can be liberated by the action of suitable agents. Particularly customary optically active acids are for example the D- and L-forms of tartaric acid, di-o- toluyltartaric acid, malic acid, mandelic acid, camphorsulphonic acid or quinic acid. Advantageous-ly the more active of the two antipodes is isolated.
Appropriately, such starting substances are used for carrying out the reactions according to the invention as lead to the initially particularly mentioned groups of final substances and particularly to the final substances which have been especially described or highlighted.
The starting substances are known or can, if they are new, be obtained according to methods which are in themselves known.
The new compounds can be used as medicines, for example in the form of pharmaceutical preparations, in which they or their salts are present mixed with a pharmaceutical, organic or inorganic, solid or liquid carriers which is for example suitable for enteral or parenteral administration. Possible substances for forming the carriers are those :' .~: :`.
- . .

which do not react with the new compounds, such as for example water, gelatine, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, talc vegetable oils, benzyl alcohols, gum, polyalkylene glycols, white petroleum jelly, cholesterol or other known medicinal carriers. The pharmaceutical preparations can for example be in the form of tablets, dragees, capsules, suppositories, ointments or creams, or in a liquid fo~m as solutions ~for example as an elixir or syrup), suspensions or emulsions. They are optionally sterilised and/or contain auxiliary substances, such as preservatives, stabilisers, wetting agents or emulsifiers, salts for regulating the osmotic pressure or buffers.
They can also contain yet further therapeutically valuable substances. The preparations, which can also be used in veterinary medicine, are formulated according to usual methods.
The examples which follow explain the invention without however restricting it.

Thereafter the solid constituents are filtered off and the filtrate is evaporated in vacuo. The residue is dissolved in methylene chloride and extracted with sodium hydroxide solution. After evaporation of the solvent, the crude 1-[o-allyl-p-~N',N'-dimethylureido)-phenoxy]-2,3-epoxypropane remains as an oil.
Example 4 A mixture of 30 g 1-~m-~N',N'-dimethylureido)-phenoxy]-2,3-epoxy-propane, 30 g isopropylamine and 30 ml ethanol is heated to 60 for 4 hours and then evaporated to dryness in vacuo. The residue is dissolved in 2N-acetic acid and extracted with ether. After separation of the water phase the same is rendered alkaline by addition of sodium hydroxide solution and extracted with methylene chloride. After evaporation of the solvent the l-[m-~N',N'-dimethyl-ureido)-phenoxy]-2-hydroxy-3-isopropylamino-propane of the formula ~ .
NHCON~CH3)2 .
remains, which melts after recrystalli~ation from isopropanol at 130.
