Substitutions on the 2-position of the imidazole ring of histamine have proven useful in a number of biochemical settings. Current art for the synthesis of these constructs relies upon a cumbersome and low-yielding condensation reaction. Here-in we report a new procedure for the synthesis of a series of substituted 2-phenylhistamines utilizing a microwave-promoted Suzuki coupling.

2-Phenylhistamines with various substituents at the phenyl ring were synthesized and the influence of substitution in ortho, meta or para position on histamine H1-agonistic activity was investigated.Compounds with high activity occured in the meta phenyl series.Increased activity in the guinea-pig ileum assay was achieved by monosubstitution with halogen on the phenyl ring. 2-ethanamine (12) is the most potent highly selective H1-agonist known so far, showing 87percent relative potency compared with histamine and full efficacy at theH1-receptor.Relative activities of the 3-chloro analogue (11) and the 3-methyl analogue (13) are 81percent and 29percent, respectively.Histamine H2-activity could not be detected. 2-Phenylhistamines are available via reaction of the corresponding benzimidates with 2-oxo-4-phthalimido-1-butyl acetate (6) in liquid ammonia.
