There are described compounds of the formula where (a) X is O or S; (b) R is H, loweralkyl, where Y is O or S; R2 is loweralkyl, cycloalkyl, bicycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, aryl, arylloweralkyl, heteroaryl or heteroarylloweralkyl, R3 is H or lower alkyl or the group -NR2R3 taken as a whole is 1-pyrrolidinyl, 1-piperidinyl, 4-morpholinyl, 4-thiomorpholinyl, 1-piperazinyl, 4-methyl-1-piperazinyl or 2-(2,6-dichlorophenylimino)-1-imidazolidinyl) and R4 is hydrogen, loweralkyl, arylloweralkyl, diarylloweralkyl, aryl or heteroaryl, (c) m is 1 or 2; (d) each Z is independently H, loweralkyl, halogen, nitro, -NH2, loweralkylcarbonylamino, arylcarbonylamino, loweralkoxycarbonylamino or loweralkylamino, and (e) R1 is H, loweralkyl, arylloweralkyl, heteroarylloweralkyl, cycloalkylmethyl or loweralkenylmethyl, with the proviso that when X is O, m is 1, Z is H and R1 is methyl, R is not -CONHCH3, -CONHC6H5, hydrogen, methyl or ethyl, and that when X is O, m is 1 and Z and R are both hydrogen, R is not hydrogen or methyl, and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof which are useful as memory-enhancing and analgesic agents.
