Participants

Reaction Steps

DMSO (2.0 ml) and phosphorus pentoxide (4.0 g) were added to a solution of 2-ethyl-6-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-4-[(2'-(2-triphenylmethyl-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-yl)methoxy]-1,5-naphthyridine (1.0 g) in dichloromethane (20 ml) at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 1 hour and then cooled again to 0° C. Triethylamine (0.69 ml) was added and stirring was continued for 30 minutes. 1M citric acid solution (20 ml) was added and the organic phase was separated and dried (MgSO4). The solvent was removed by evaporation and the residue was purified by flash chromatography, eluting with ethyl acetate/hexane (1:1 v/v), to give 2-ethyl-6-(formylmethoxy)-4-[(2'-(2-triphenylmethyl-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-yl)methoxy]-1,5-naphthyridine (B) (0.46 g), m.p. 168°-169° C. (after trituration with ether; NMR (d6 -DMSO): 1.25(t, 3H), 2.9(q, 2H), 5.0(s, 2H), 5.35(s, 2H), 6.8-6.95(m, 6H), 7.1-7.85(m, 19H), 8.25(d, 1H), 9.7(s, 1H).
