Reaction Steps

Ethyl 2-methyl-4-{N-[(2'-[N-triphenylmethyl-tetrazol-5-yl]biphenyl-4-yl)methyl]amino}pyrimidine-5-carboxylate was hydrolyzed with sodium hydroxide and neutralized with one equivalent of hyochloric acid to give 2-methyl-4-{N-[(2'-[N-triphenylmethyl-tetrazol-5-yl]biphenyl-4-yl)methyl]amino}pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid. This compound was treated with thionyl chloride at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue obtained dissolved in methylene chloride and cooled to 0° C. Ammonia was added, and the reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for several hours. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue obtained chromatographed on silica gel. The triphenylmethyl protecting group was removed with aqueous hydrochloric acid in dioxane to give the title compound in high yield. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz) d 0.85 (t, J=7 Hz, 3H), 1.22 (m, 2H), 1.55 (m, 2H), 2.55 (s, 3H), 3.58 (m, 2 H), 5.00 (s, 2H), 7.08 (d, J=7 Hz, 2H), 7.25 (d, J=7 Hz, 2H), 7.55 (d, J=7 Hz, 1H), 7.59 (d, J=7 Hz, 1H), 7.68 (m, 2H), 8.01 (s, 1H), 8.40 (s, 1H), 8.42 (s, 1H).
