     Even more particularly preferred are those compounds of formula (I) wherein R has one of the values below. ##STR8## 
     Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the compounds of the invention are those formed from acids which form non-toxic acid addition salts containing pharmaceutically acceptable anions, such as the hydrochloride, hydrobromide, sulphate or bisulphate, phosphate or acid phosphate, acetate, maleate, fumarate, succinate, lactate, tartrate, citrate, glucconate, saccharate, mesylate and p-toluenesulphonate salts. 
     The compounds of formula (I) are valuable antihypertensive agents having significant advantages over the prior art. 
     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     The compounds of the formula (I) can be prepared by reacting a quinazoline of the formula: ##STR9## where Q is a facile leaving group, e.g., Cl, Br, C 1  -C 4  alkoxy or C 1  -C 4  alkylthio; with a piperazine of the formula: ##STR10## where R is as previously defined. A particularly preferred value for Q is Cl. 
     In a typical procedure the reactants are heated together, e.g., at 70°-150° C., preferably under reflux, in a suitable solvent, e.g., r-butanol, for up to about 25 hours, the exact period of time of course depending on the nature of the reactants and the temperature employed, as will be known to those skilled in the art. The product can then be isolated and purified by conventional procedures. 
     If compound (III) is added in the form of an acid addition salt, then a tertiary amine base such as triethylamine is preferably added to the reaction mixture to release the free base of formula (III). 
     The starting materials of formula (III) are either known compounds or may be prepared by methods analogous to those of the prior art, many of such methods being illustrated in Preparations A to I. The starting quinazoline compounds of formula (II) are well known in the art; see e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 3,511,836. 
     The compounds of the formula (I) can also be prepared by reacting a 2-piperazinoquinazoline of the formula: ##STR11## with a heterocycle of the formula: 
     
         R--Q                                                       (V) 
    
     where 
     R and Q are as previously defined and 
     Q is preferably Cl. 
     The reaction may be carried out in a similar manner to the previous method. Similarly, the product may be isolated and purified by conventional procedure. The starting materials of the formula (V) are either known compounds of may be prepared by methods analogous to those of the prior art. The starting 2-piperazinoquinazoline (IV) is provided, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,511,836. 
     Some of the compounds of the formula (I) can be prepared from other compounds of the formula (I). For example, compounds of the formula (I) in which R contains NR 4  R 5 , where R 4  and R 5  are as defined for formula (I), can be prepared by reacting the corresponding compound in which R is a halogen substituted moiety with the appropriate amine of the formula R 4  R 5  NH. Generally, fairly vigorous reaction conditions are necessary, e.g., heating the reactants in a suitable solvent, e.g., n-butanol, at up to 180° C. in a bomb, for up to about 48 hours. A preferred halogen substituent is chloro. 
     Requisite starting compounds R Q, as defined above, are either known compounds or are prepared by analogous methods well known to those of skill in the art, see for example, &#34;Comprehensive Organic Chemistry&#34;, by Barton and Ollis, Pergamon Press, New York, N.Y., Vol. 4, 1979, pp. 85-103 and 145-153 and references cited therein. 
     The pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the compounds of the formula (I) can be prepared by conventional procedures, e.g., by reacting the free base with the appropriate acid in an inert organic solvent, and collecting the resulting precipitate of the salt by filtration. If necessary, the product may then be recrystallized to purify it. 
     The antihypertensive activity of the compounds of the formula (I) is shown by their ability to lower the blood pressure of conscious spontaneously hypertensive rats and conscious renally hypertensive dogs, when administered orally at doses of up to 5 mg/kg. 
     The compounds of the invention can be administered alone, but will generally be administered in admixture with a pharmaceutical carrier selected with regard to the intended route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice. For example, they may be administered orally in the form of tablets containing such excipients as starch or lactose, or in capsules either alone or in admixture with excipients, or in the form of elixirs or suspensions containing flavoring or coloring agents. They may be injected parenterally, for example, intramuscularly, intravenously or subcutaneously. For parenteral administration, they are best used in the form of a sterile aqueous solution which may contain other solutes, for example, enough salts or glucose to make the solution isotonic. 
     Thus the invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising an antihypertensive effective amount of a compound of the formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof together with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier. 
     The invention further provides a compound of the formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof, for use in treating hypertension in mammals, including humans. 
     The compounds of the invention can be administered to mammals, including humans, for the treatment of hypertension by either the oral or parenteral routes, and may be administered orally at dosage levels approximately within the range 1 to 20 mg/day for an average adult patient (70 kg) given in a single dose or up to 3 divided doses. Intravenous dosage levels would be expected to be about 1/5 to 1/10th of the daily oral dose. Thus for an average adult patient, individual oral doses in tablet or capsule form will be approximately in the range from 1/3 to 20 mg of the active compound. Variations will necessarilly occur depending on the weight and condition of the subject being treated and the particular route of administration chosen as will be known to those skilled in the art. 
     The invention yet further provides a method of treating a mammal, including a human being, having hypertension, which comprises administering to the mammal an antihypertensive amount of a compound of the formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof or pharmaceutical composition as defined above. 
    
    
     The invention is illustrated by the following Examples, in which all temperatures are in °C. 
     EXAMPLE 1 
     4-Amino-6,7-dimethoxy-2-[4-(4-phenylpyrimidin-2-yl)piperazino] quinazoline, hemihydrate ##STR12## 
     4-Amino-6,7-dimethoxy-2-piperazino-quinazoline (3.44 g, 0.012 mole) and 2-chloro-4-phenylpyrimidine (2.5 g, 0.011 mole) (J. Chem. Soc., 2328 (1951)) in n-butanol (250 ml) were heated under reflux for six hours. After cooling the solid product was collected, washed with diethylether, and partitioned between chloroform and saturated aqueous sodium carbonate solution. The chloroform layer was separated, the aqueous layer extracted with chloroform and the combined chloroform layers were washed with water, dried (Na 2  SO 4 ) and evaporated in vacuo. The residue (5 g) was chromatographed on silica eluting with chloroform and chloroform-methanol (97.5:2.5 by volume). Appropriate fractions were combined, evaporated and the resulting solid crystallized from dimethylformamide (DMF)/diethyl ether to give 4-amino-6,7-dimethoxy-2-[4-(4-phenylpyrimidin-2-yl)-piperazino] quinazoline hemihydrate, (2.28 g), m.p. 250° C. (dec). 
     Analysis %: Found: C, 63.5; H, 5.8; N, 21.8. Calculated for C 24  H 25  N 7  O 2 .1/2H 2  O: C, 63.7; H, 5.8; N, 21.7. 
     The following Examples were carried out in the same general manner as Example 1, but in some cases the reaction mixture was evaporated in vacuo and then purified as described. Other modifications were as follows. In Example 4 the product from chromatography was converted to the dihydrochloride in the standard manner, using hydrogen chloride in a suitable solvent. In Example 5, the product was collected from the cooled reaction mixture then recrystallized from ethanol. In Examples 7, 8, 14 and 18, the initial reaction was carried out in ethanol and in Examples 8 and 14 the products, after chromatography, were converted to the dihyrochloride salts. In Example 10, the product from chromatography was further purified by preparative high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). In Examples 11 and 12, after basification and extraction, the residue was recrystallized from methanol. In Example 13, the solid product from the reaction mixture was taken up in DMF/diethyl ether and precipitated with water. In Example 15, the product from chromatography was converted to the citrate salt using citric acid in a suitable solvent, recrystallized from methanol, basified, then treated with maleic acid, and the maleate salt recrystallized from methanol.

     The following compounds were prepared by the procedure of Example 20, except that in some cases triethylamine was included in the reaction mixture and other modifications were as follows: 
     In Example 21, the reaction mixture was evaporated, the residue partitioned between chloroform/water, the solid collected, boiled with methanol, filtered and the filtrate evaporated. The residue was then purified by chromatography. In Example 22 the reaction mixture was evaporated in vacuo and the residue crystallized from methanol/diethyl ether; in Example 24 cooling of the reaction mixture yielded 4-amino-2-dimethylamino-6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline formed due to inadvertent presence of dimethylamine in the piperazino starting material. The mother liquors were treated as in the general example, then the product from chromatography purified by preparative high pressure liquid chromatography and converted to the maleate salt in the standard manner using maleic acid in a suitable solvent. In Example 27, the solid product was collected from the cooled reaction mixture and was recrystallized from dimethylformamide/diethyl ether. In Example 28, the solid product was collected, recrystallized from methanol then converted to the hydrochloride salt in the standard manner using hydrogen chloride in a suitable solvent. In Example 29 the solid product was collected and recrystallized from dimethylformamide. In Example 30 the product from chromatography was converted to the maleate salt using maleic acid which salt was crystallized from methanol.
