Title:	(Substituted aralkyl) heterocyclic compounds
Abstract:	A (substituted-aralkyl)heterocyclic compound of the formula I ##STR1## wherein R1 is an azido, carbamoyl, cyano, formyl, hydroxy or nitro radical, a 1-6C 1-hydroxyalkyl, alkoxy, alkylcarbamoyl, alkylthio, alkylsulphinyl or alkylsulphonyl radical, a 2-cyanoethyl radical, optionally bearing one to four 1-6C alkyl substituents, or a 2-6C alkanoyl, halogenoalkanoyl, alkanoyloxy, alkanoylamino, dialkylcarbamoyl or alkoxycarbonyl radical; R2 and R3, which may be the same or different, are each a hydrogen atom, a 1-6C alkyl, dueterioalkyl or halogenoalkyl radical, or a phenyl or phenyl(1-6C alkyl) radical, in each of which the phenyl may optionally bear one or more substituents; or R2 and R3, together with the carbon atom to which they are attached, may form a 3- to 6-membered ring; or R1 R2 R3 C- is a 1,1-dicyanoethyl or trifluoromethylsulphonyl radical; R4 is a hydrogen or halogen atom, a cyano or nitro radical or a 1-6C alkyl or halogenoalkyl radical; R5 has any of the values defined above for the group R1 R2 R3 C but is not necessarily the same as R1 R2 R3 C, or has any of the values defined above for R4 but is not necesarily the same as R4, or is a carbamoyl, 1-pyrrolidinyl-carbonyl, piperidinocarbonyl, morpholinocarbonyl or nitro radical, a 1-6C alkoxy or halogenoalkoxy radical or a 2-6C alkanoyl or alkoxy-carbonyl radical; A is a methylene or ethylene radical optionally bearing one or more substituents selected from deuterium and halogen atoms, carbamoyl, cyano and hydroxy radicals, 1-6C alkyl and alkoxy radicals, and 2-6C alkanoyloxy radicals provided that when A is linked to R6 through a nitrogen atom thereof, it may not bear a hydroxy, alkoxy or alkanoyloxy substituent on the carbon atom adjacent to such nitrogen atoms; and R6 is a 1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl, 4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl, 1H-imidazol-1-yl, 5-cyano-1H-imidazol-1-yl, 3-pyridyl or 5-pyrimidinyl radical, or a 1H-imidazol-1-yl radical, bearing at the 5-position thereof a 1-6C alkyl substituent which is itself optionally substituted by one or more carbamoyl, cyano, hydroxy or 2-6C alkoxycarbonyl radicals; and provided that when R2, R3, R4 and R5 are hydrogen, A is a methylene radical and R6 is a 3-pyridyl radical, R1 is not a cyano, hydroxy or hydroxymethyl radical, and when R1 is a hydroxy radical, R3, R4 and R5 are hydrogen, A is a methylene radical and R6 is 3-pyridyl, R2 is not a methyl or a 2-chloro-1-methylethyl radical, and provided that when R1 is a methoxycarbonyl radical, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are hydrogen and A is a methylene radical, R1 is not a 1H-imidazol-1-yl radical; and the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof.
