DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to new esters of 2- alkyl thiazole S-carboxylic acid of formula I:

X and X identical or different, representing hydrogen, a chlorine, bromine or iodine atom, an alkyl radi cal containing from l to 6 carbon atoms, an alkyloxy radical containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms or a trihalogenomethyl group, or R represents a heterocycle containing a maximum of 6 links and capable of bearing 1 or more heteroatoms, as well as the salts of these compounds with a mineral or organic acid.

The heterocyclic radical R can be more particularly a pyridyl, pyridazinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyrazinyl, pyranyl, thiapyranyl, oxazinyl or thiophene radical, the value of the m factor is preferably 0,] or 2.

B-[4-(0,0'-dimethyl phenyl) l'-pyperazino] ethyl- 2-propyl thiazole S-carboxylate and its monohydrochloride,

The compounds of the invention are endowed with interesting physiological properties. They possess more particularly an adrenolytic and peripheral vasodilatory route, and between and 500 mg. using the buccal or rectal route.

The pharmaceutical forms such as injectable solutions or suspensions, plain or coated tablets, sublingual tablets and suppositories are prepared according to the usual methods.

The invention also includes a process for preparing compounds of formula I, as well as the salts of these compounds with a mineral or organic acid, characterized mainly in that one reacts the 2-alkyl thiazole 5- carboxylic acid of general formula 11:

11 CH .{CH mi 0 0 OH 3 I 2 s 7 1r wherein m has the aforesaid meaning, or a functional derivative of this acid with an alcohol of general formula Ill:

wherein it, n and R have the aforesaid meanings, then optionally salifies according to the usual methods, the resulting ester of general formula I;

with a mineral or organic acid.

To esterify alcohol 111, one can use 2-alkyl thiazole S-carboxylic acid ll. One operates in such a case in the presence of an acid catalyst, such as paratoluene sulphonic acid of hydrochloric acid and removes the water formed.

One can also use the chloride or the anhydride of acid ll, preferably operating in the presence of a tertiary base, such as triethylamine or pyridine.

The anhydride of 2-alkyl thiazole S-carboxylic acid [I can be conveniently obtained by reacting acid 11 with dicyclohexyl carbodiimido. To carry out esterification one can also use a mixed anhydride of acid 11. To prepare this anhydride, one reacts a tertiary base with acid 11, then subjects the resulting salt to the action of a lower alkyl chloroformate, to obtain the mixed anhyydride of general formula IV:

which one reacts with alcohol 111.

The tertiary base which one reacts with acid 11 is preferably triethylamine or pyridine.

Salification of acid 11 by the tertiary amine is carried out in an organic solvent such as acetone.

The lower alkyl chloroformate which one reacts with the salt is more particularly methyl or ethyl chloroformate. This condensation is carried out preferably in an acetonic medium. Condensation of the mixed anhydride of formula IV with alcohol of formula 111, is preferably carried out in an acetonic medium. Conjointly with the desired ester 1, it tends to form a lower alkyl hemicarbonate, which is immediately decomposed into carbon dioxide and the corresponding alcohol.

The esterification can also be carried out by reacting the acid or one of its functional derivatives with an alcoholate of formula:

wherein M represents an alkali-metal atom.

Optional salification of the amino functions of the ester 1 piperazine ring, can more particularly be realized by the action of a suitable acid with ester of for mula I. This salification is carried out in an organic solvent such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol. acetone or ether.

The piperazine alkanols used are described in general in the literature. 4-benzyl piperazine ethanol can be obtained according to the process described in NATURWISSENSCHAFTEN 53 (16) 405 (1966). 4-a-pyridyl piperazine ethanol can be obtained according to the process described in US. Pat. No. 2,562,036. 4-o-to1yl piperazine ethanol is described by C. B. POLLARD and T. H. WICKER J. Am. Chem. Soc. 76 1853 (1954). 4-(p-methoxy phenyl) piperazine ethanol is described in British Pat. No. 889,223.

4-(o-methoxy phenyl) piperazine butanol is described in US. Pat. No. 2,922,788.

4-p-tolyl piperazine ethanol is described by C8. POLLARD and T.H. WlCKER J. Am. Chem. Sec. 76 1853 (1954), as well as 4-(0-ch1orophenyl) piperazine ethanol. 4-(o-ethoxy phenyl) piperazine ethanol. 4- (2',5-dimethyl pheny1)piperazine ethanol, and 4-(3- trifluoro methyl phenyl) piperazine ethanol can be prepared by the action of ethylene oxide on the corresponding substituted piperazines. The preparations for these 3compounds which are not described in the literature, are given in the experimental section.
