Trifluoroacetic acid → HCID 87565843, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Following a procedure similar to that described in Example 150-(e), (E)-3-{[1-(methoxycarbonylmethyl)-1H-tetrazol-5-yl]methylidene}-1-(triphenylmethyl)piperidin-4-ol (1.5 g) was subjected to the reaction with thioacetic acid and N,N-dimethylformamide dineopentyl acetal. The product was purified by silica gel chromatography to afford (E)-4-(acetylsulfanyl)-3-{([1-(methoxycarbonylmethyl)-1H-tetrazol-5-yl]methylidene}-1-(triphenylmethyl)piperidine (980 mg). This product was similarly treated with trifluoroacetic acid in dichloromethane, and the resulting product was purified by silica gel chromatography using dichloromethane and methanol (20:1) as an eluent to afford the title compound (342 mg, overall yield: 27%) as a yellow amorphous solid.
