Reaction Steps

3-Cyclopropyl-1-{3-[(4-cyclopropyl-4,5-dihydro-5-oxo-1H-tetrazol-1-yl)methyl]-2,4-dichlorophenyl}propan-1,3-dione (2.64 g) was dissolved in acetic anhydride (15 ml) and the solution, after adding triethyl orthoformate (2.12 g), was refluxed for 4 hours upon heating. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure and the residue was treated with toluene, which was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain crude 3-cyclopropyl-1-{3-[(4-cyclopropyl-4,5-dihydro-5-oxo-1H-tetrazol-1-yl)methyl]-2,4-dichlorophenyl}-2-ethoxymethylenepropan-1,3-dione (3.23 g).
