The compounds according to the invention possess interesting pharmacological properties as discussed hereinafter. It will be appreciated that, for pharmaceutical use, the salts referred to above will be pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts. Other acid addition salts may, however, find use, for example in the preparation of compounds of general formula (I) and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts. Acid addition salts may be formed with mineral or organic acids. Suitable acids include, for example, hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydriodic, nitric, sulphuric, phosphoric, propionic, acetic, formic, benzoic, maleic, fumaric, succinic, tartaric, citric, oxalic, glyoxylic and aspartic acids, alkanesulphonic acids such as e.g. methanesulphonic acid and arylsulphonic acids such as e.g.
benzenesulphonic acid.
Preferred compounds according to the invention include those of formula (I) wherein R3 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl or ethyl group, R4 represents a methoxy, hydroxy, acetoxy or methyl group, B5 represents a methyl or ethyl group and R, and R2 are as defined above; and salts thereof.
In particular there may be mentioned compounds of formula (I) wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom, R2 represents a benzoyl group or a 1-phenylvinyl group, R3 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl or ethyl group, R4 represents a methoxy, hydroxy, acetoxy or methyl group and B5 represents an ethyl group; and salts thereof.
Most particularly of interest are compounds of formula (I) wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom,
R2 represents a benzoyl group, R3 represents a methyl or ethyl group, R4 represents a methoxy group and R5 represents an ethyl group; and salts thereof, particularly the following:

4,7-diethyl-5-methoxyimidazol[1 ,2-a]quinolin-2-yl)phenylmethanone; and salts of these compounds.
In a further aspect the invention provides processes for the preparation of the compounds of formula (I).
For example, compounds of formula (I) wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom, R2 represents a benzoyl group, R4 represents a C18 alkoxy group or a C15 alkyl group and R3 and R5 have the abovedefined meanings, and acid addition salts thereof may be prepared by a process which comprises cyclising a compound of formula (IV)::
(wherein R3 and R5 are as defined above, R4 represents a C18 alkoxy or C18 alkyl group and Xe represents an anion, e.g. a halogen anion) to form a compound of formula (IA)
(wherein R3, R4 and R6 are as hereinbefore defined) followed, if desired, by isolation of the compound of formula (IA) optionally in the form of an acid addition salt thereof.
The cyclisation of the compound of formula (IV) is preferably effected by heating the compound in the presence of an organic solvent, e.g. ethanol.
In general, the above cyclisation reaction will lead to the formation of an acid addition salt of the compound of formula (I) i.e. with the acid HX. The free base of formula (I) may be obtained therefrom, if desired without previous isolation, by treatment with a base such as, for example an alkali metal hydroxide or carbonate e.g. potassium carbonate.

(wherein R3, R4 and R5a are as hereinbefore defined) with a compound of formula (III):
(wherein X represents a group capable of elimination to form the anion Xe, for example a halogen atom). The reaction of the compounds of formulae (II) and (III) is desirably carried out in the presence of an organic solvent such as dimethoxymethane. The reaction of the compounds of formulae (II) and (III) can be carried out if desired in such a way as to lead the compound of formula (IA) directly without intermediate isolation of the compound of formula (IV).
An alternative method for the preparation of compounds of formula (I) having the formula
(wherein R,, R3, R4 and B5 are as hereinbefore defined) and acid addition salts thereof comprises oxidation of a compound of formula (VIII):
(wherein R,, R3, R4 and B5 are as hereinbefore defined) followed, if desired, by isolation of the compound of formula (IB), optionally in the form of an acid addition salt thereof.
Oxidation of the compound of formula (VIII) may be performed using conventional oxidising agents. The use of manganese dioxide is preferred but alternative oxidising agents which may be used include nitric acid, ferric chloride and chromic oxide/pyridine. Oxidation may alternatively be effected by an Oppenauer oxidation or by dehydrogenation over a copper catalyst.
Compounds of formula (VIII) may be prepared for example from compounds of formula (IX)
(wherein R,, R3, R4 and R5 are as hereinbefore defined) by reaction with a Grignard reagent formed from a compound of formula (X)
(wherein Y represents a chlorine, bromine or iodine atom, preferably a bromine atom) or with phenyllithium. The reaction may be performed under anhydrous conditions in a suitable organic solvent, preferably tetrahydrofuran.
Compounds of formula (IX) may be prepared for example by oxidation of compounds of formula (Xl)
(wherein R,, R3, R4 and B5 are as hereinbefore defined). The oxidation may be performed using conventional oxidising agents, for example manganese dioxide or one of the alternative oxidising agents or oxidising techniques set out above.
