Appl. No.:

7/416295

Inventors:

David L. Coffen - Glen Ridge NJ
Pradeep B. Madan - Edison NJ
Alan Schwartz - Montclair NJ

Assignee:

Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. - Nutley NJ

International Classification:

C07D30613
C07D30102

US Classification:

549519

Abstract:

A process for the preparing a compound of the formula ##STR1## wherein R. sub. 1 and R. sub. 2 are each independently hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, halogen, trifluoromethyl or nitro; or R. sub. 1 and R. sub. 2 taken together with the benzene ring to which they are attached are naphthalene, and Ar is p-lower alkoxy phenyl. which comprises reacting ##STR2## wherein R. sub. 1 and R. sub. 2 are as described above with the compound of the formula ##STR3## wherein Ar is as described above, in an aromatic organic compound. The intermediates formed by the process of the invention are useful in the production of thiazepin-4(5H)-ones which have activity as calcium channel blockers and accordingly are useful as agents for lowering blood pressure and agents for treating ischemia.

International Classification:

H04M 164

US Classification:

379 671

Abstract:

The invention provides a method and system for prompt recipient notification of the active greeting on a voice message system, with the notification provided on initial recipient access of the voice message system, typically at the same time as the recipient is informed of new voice messages. Notification of the active greeting on initial access provides the recipient the opportunity to modify an outdated greeting thereby providing more current information. The invention also provides a method and system for automatically restoring the primary greeting at a predetermined date without the necessity of the recipient accessing the voice message administration area on that predetermined date.

International Classification:

H04M 1100

US Classification:

379 93

Abstract:

A facility is provided which implements a "hold-for-pickup" function in the delivery of a data message, e. g. , a facsimile. Particularly, the facility associates a data message that it receives from a sender with a respective confirmation number and sends the confirmation number to the sender. Thereafter, the facility transmits the message only to a receiver who enters the confirmation number when requested to do so. The facility also provides a number of other features, such as allowing the sender to specify the number of receivers that will receive the data message. Another feature associates a received data message with a plurality of confirmation numbers. In this way, a user may associate the confirmation numbers with respective receivers. The receivers may then obtain a copy of the sender's data message from the facility by entering their respective confirmation numbers when requested to do so.
