Reaction Steps

To a suspension of benzyl [(1S)-2,2-dimethyl-1-(2H-tetrazol-5-yl)propyl]carbamate (280 mg, 0.96 mmol), potassium carbonate (660 mg, 4.8 mmol) and methyl iodide (0.24 mL, 3.8 mmol) in acetone (5 mL) was stirred at 0° C. for 10 min and warmed to rt. After 4 h, the mixture was filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with hexane/ethyl acetate (8/1-4/1-1/1) to afford 166 mg (57%) of benzyl [(1S)-2,2-dimethyl-1-(2-methyl-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)propyl]carbamate and 82 mg (28%) of benzyl [(1S)-2,2-dimethyl-1-(1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)propyl]carbamate.
