Abstract
This invention relates to new 1,3-dihydro-6-(1-hydroxy-2-dimethylaminomethyl-allyl)-7-hydroxy-furo-(3,4- c)-pyridine derivatives of the general formula: ##STR1## wherein, each of A.sub.1 and A.sub.2 independently, represents various substituents, to a process for the preparation of these compounds comprising reacting a 6-formyl-7-benzyloxy-furo-(3,4-c)-pyridine derivative of the general formula II ##STR2## with 1-dimethylaminomethyl-vinylmagnesium bromide at the boil, in a non polar solvent and hydrolyzing the 7-benzyloxy group and to a therapeutic composition of matter, comprising as an essential ingredient therein, at least one of these compounds. The compounds according to the invention are of interest for their therapeutic activity, principally as anti-depressive agents.
