Reaction Steps

5-(4'-formyl-1,1'-biphenyl-2-yl)-2-triphenylmethyl-2H-tetrazole was dissolved in N,N-dimethylacetamide and some water and reduced by sodium borohydride. The reaction mixture was then poured into water slowly to precipitate the title compound which is further purified by recrystallizations as described in Example 11.
