Novel 1-[(heterocyclyl)alkyl]-4-diarylmethoxy piperidine derivatives are disclosed having the formula <IMAGE> where n is 2-6, Ar1 and Ar2 are aryl and B is a substituted benzimidazolyl radical. These compounds are useful for their antianaphylactic and antihistaminic properties. Specific claimed compounds are 1-{3-[4-(diphenylmethoxy)-1-piperidinyl]-propyl}-1,3-dihydro-2H-benzim idazol-2-one, 1-{2-[4-(diphenylmethoxy)-1-piperidinyl]ethyl}1-, 3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazol-2-one, and 1-{4-[4-(diphenylmethoxy)-1-piperidinyl]butyl}-1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimid azol-2-one. |
