Abstract: The present invention relates to novel substituted [2-(1-piperazinyl)-ethoxy]methyl compounds of formula in which R1 represents a —CONH2, —CN, —COOH, —COOM or —COOR3 group, M being an alkali metal and R3 being an alkyl radical having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms; and R2 represents a hydrogen atom or a group —COR4 or —R5, where R4 is chosen from the groups —OR6 l or —R7, in which R5 represents an alkyl or alkylaryl radical, R6 represents a linear or branched alkyl radical having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, a haloalkyl, alkylaryl, alkylnitroaryl or alkylhaloaryl radical, and R7 represents a haloalkyl radical, to a process for the preparation of these compounds, and to their use for the preparation of compounds which are themselves valuable intermediates for the preparation of 2-[2-[4[(4-chlorophenyl)phenylmethyl]-1-piperazinyl]ethoxy]-acetic acid or 2-[2-[4-[bix(4-fluorophenyl)methyl&rs

Abstract: Novel substituted [2-(1-piperazinyl)ethoxy]methyl compounds.The present invention related to novel substituted [2-(1-piperazinyl)-ethoxy]methyl compounds of formula ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 represents a --CONH.sub.2, --CN, --COOH, --COOM or --COOR.sub.3 group, M being an alkali metal and R.sub.3 being an alkyl radical having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms; andR.sub.2 represents a hydrogen atom or a group --COR.sub.4 or --R.sub.5, where R.sub.4 is chosen from the groups --OR.sub.6 or --R.sub.7, in whichR.sub.5 represents an allyl or alkylaryl radical,R.sub.6 represents a linear or branched alkyl radical having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, a haloalkyl, alkylaryl, alkylnitroaryl or alkylhaloaryl radical, andR.sub.

Abstract: Substituted 4-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthalenyl)-1H-imidazoles and 4-(2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-yl)-1H-imidazoles, their optical isomers and their racemic mixtures, their salts, methods for preparing them and therapeutic compositions containing them. These compounds have the general formula ##STR1## wherein n=1 or 2,R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 =hydrogen, halogen, hydroxyl C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy,R.sub.5 = hydrogen of C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl with the proviso that R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5, cannot simultaneously be hydrogen when n is equal to 2.These new compounds exhibit anti-ischemic and anti-hypertensive activities.
