  • Compounds and process preparing a substituted or an unsubstituted 4(5)-(.omega.-aminoalkyl)imidazole
    Patent number: 5190589
    Abstract: A process is provided for preparing novel substituted or unsubstituted 4(5)-.omega.-aminoalkyl)imidazoles of the formula ##STR1## wherein n is 1 to 6, R.sub.1 is hydrogen or a linear, branched or cyclic, saturated or unsaturated alkyl group having 1-6 C-atoms or a phenyl ring being unsubstituted, or mono- or di-substituted with groups such as lower alkyl, halogen, alkoxy, methylenedioxy or a combination thereof, and R.sub.2 is hydrogen or methyl. The process comprises brominating an .omega.-phthalimidoalkan-2-one with bromine in anhydrous methanol to a 1- or 3-bromo-.omega.-phthalimido-alkan-2-one, subjecting said derivative to ring closure with an amidine in N.N-dimethylformamide with potassium carbonate under mild conditions followed by hydrolytic separation of the phthalic residue. Pharmaceutical compounds, compositions and a method of treatment are also provided.

  • N-(W-substituted alkyl)-'-(imidazol-4-yl)alkyl)guanidine
    Patent number: 5010095
    Abstract: N-(2-substituted alkyl)-N'[(imidazole-4-yl)alkylguanidines are provided by the reaction of a primary amine with benzoylisothiocyante to a benzoylthiourea derivative, followed by hydrolysis of this derivative to form the corresponding thiourea, converting this thiourea with methyliodide into an isothiourea and producing the desired compound by reaction of the isothiourea with aminopropylimidazole or aminoethylimidazole. The compound can be converted into an acid addition salt or the free compound obtained from such salt. The compounds are useful as the active ingredient in pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of congestion, heart failure and some allergic conditions.
