Reaction Steps

3-[2-(Triphenylmethyl)-2H-tetrazol-5-yl]-9H-carbazole (200 mg, 0.42 mmol) was dissolved in methyl sulfoxide (1.5 mL). Sodium hydride (34 mg, 60%, 0.85 mmol) was added, and the resulting suspension was stirred for 30 min at room temperature. 3-Chlorobenzyl chloride (85 μL, 108 mg, 0.67 mmol) was added, and the stirring was continued at 40° C. for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and poured into 0.1 N hydrochloric acid (aq.) (15 mL) The precipitated solid was filtered off and washed with water (3×10 mL) to furnish 9-(3-chlorobenzyl)-3-[2-(triphenylmethyl)-2H-tetrazol-5-yl]-9H-carbazole, which was dissolved in a mixture of tetrahydrofuran and 6 N hydrochloric acid (aq.) (9:1) (10 mL) and stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into water (100 mL). The solid was filtered off and rinsed with water (3×10 mL) and dichloromethane (3×10 mL) to yield the title compound (127 mg). No further purification was necessary.
