In essence, Reaction Scheme I illustrates that the biimidazoles of formula I can be prepared by reacting the appropriate ot bromo or chloro compounds (III) with 2,2'~bi-1H-imidazole (II) in a solvent such as ethanol (EtOH) and in the presence of a base such as sodium hydro- xide (NaOH) under reflux conditions. The biimidasole starting aaterial (11) oan be obtained by a method of
Matthews, D.P., Whitten, J.P., and McCarthy, J.R., set forth in Synthesis, 4, 336, (1986).
When the desired product contains X as amino substituted phenyl, (III) would include Ahe amino group protected by a silyl protecting group or protected as a : phthalimide, and the resulting silylated compound or bi- imidasole-phthalimide would be appropriately deprotected to obtain the desired final product (I). Appropriate deprotecting agents for the silyl-protected compound would be, for example, ethanolic hydrochloric acid, or sodium fluoride. The phthalimide compound would be deprotected : by means of hydrazine and alcohol.
Examples 1 through 5 are illustrations of Resction
Scheme I.
The process described above can also be used for the . novel synthesis of known imidazole compounds wherein a readily available 2-substituted imidasole (IV) (wherein Y can be alkyl, aryl or trialkylsiyl, with the alkyl groups
\ . being straight- or branched-chain and containing up to ten carbon atoms, and the aryl groups being phenyl or naphthyl optionally substituted with groups such as alkyl of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, halo, or alkoxy of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms) is reacted with the appropriate of bromo, or chloro compound (III), wherein X is as defined above, in a solvent such as ethanol (EtOH) in the presence of a base such as sodium hydroxide under reflux conditions to : readily yield a mixture of 1l- and b= and 4,%5-big- (X- : 10 sethyl)-1H-imidasoles (V) which can be separated by flash chromatography.

The compounds of this invention inhibit the ensyme dopamine p-hydroxylase (DBH) and therefore are useful in the treatment of hypertension. An embodiment of this invention is a method of treating hypertension in a mammal which comprises administering to said mammal an effective antihypertensive amount of compound of formula I, Since
DBH is a major enzyme in the synthetic pathway of . norepinephrine (NE), the presence of an inhibitor should decrease the amount of NE produced, and thereby have an antihypertensive effect, 18 ~ The DBH inhibitory properties of the compounds of this invention can readily be determined by standard and well : known procedures. For example, inhibition of DBH was determined by a procedure wherein ensymatic activity was - ascertained in aqueous solution in the presence of molecular oxygen, an electron donor such as ascorbate, a a substrate such as tyramine, an inhibitor, and the necessary cofactors for the enzyme at a pil of 4.5 to 5.5, : preferably pH 5.0, and at a temperature of 20°C to 4°c, preferably 37°%c. The inhibitor was assayed over a range 29 of concentrations. Each reaction was followed by measuring oxygen uptake as an indication of encyme activity using a polarographic electrode and an oxygen monitor, following the method of S. May, et al., Jo Biole
Chem., 256, 2258 (1981). The DBH inhibitory aotivity of compounds of this invention is indicated in Table I.

In general, effective antihypertensive
: 2060p, : results can be achieved at a dose of about $ to about 100 mg per kilogram body weight per day. Of course, the specific initial and continuing dosage regimen for each patient will vary according to the nature and severity of the hypertension as determined by the attending diagnostician,
In their funotion as therapeutically useful compounds, it is advantageous to administer the compounds to the host animal in admixture with an acceptable and suitable : 10 pharmaceutical carrier. Such preparations may be in such forms as, for example, tablets, caplets and suppositories, or in liquid forms, as for example, elixirs, emulsions, sprays and injectables. In the formulation of phagmaceutical preparations, such subatances can be employed which do not react with active substances as, for ’ .- example, water, gelatin, lactose, starches, magnesium sterate, talc, vegetable oils, benzyl alcohols, gums, polyalkylene glycols, petroleum jelly and the like,
