Abstract

1. Claims for the Contracting States : BE, CH, DE, FR, GB, IT, LU, NL, SE. Imidazo and pyrimido-pyrido-indoles in form of racemates or enantiomers corresponding to formula (I) see diagramm : EP0015786,P9,F1 wherein n is 1 or 0, R1 is a hydrogen or halogen atom, an alkyl or alkoxy radical or a CF3 group, R2 is an alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, phenyl or benzyl radical, the two latter radicals being optionally substituted with a halogen atom or an alkyl or alkoxygroup, R3 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl radical, R4 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl radical, said alkyl and alkoxy radicals having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, with the exception of the compound for which n = 1, R1 = R3 = R4 = H and R2 = CH3 . 1. Claim for the Contracting State : AT A process for preparing imidazo and pyrimido-pyrido-indoles in form of racemates or enantiomers corresponding to formula (I) see diagramm : EP0015786,P11,F3 wherein n is 1 or 0, R1 is a hydrogen or halogen atom, an alkyl or alkoxy radical or a CF3 group, R2 is an alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, phenyl or benzyl radical, the two latter radicals being optionally substituted with a halogen atom or an alkyl or alkoxy group, R3 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl radical, R4 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl radical, said alkyl and alkoxy radicals having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, with the exception of the compound for which n = 1, R1 = R3 = R4 = H and R2 = CH3 , characterized in that a compound of formula (II) see diagramm : EP0015786,P11,F4 is reacted with an amine R2 NH2 , then the intermediate compound obtained, of formula (III) see diagramm : EP0015786,P12,F1 is cyclized by means of formaldehyde in 30% aqueous solution, and, when R4 = H, the corresponding compound (I) may be alkylated to yield a compound (I) wherein R4 is alkyl.
