Reaction Steps

Ethyl 5-iodopyridin-2-one-3-carboxylate, prepared by the method of Taylor, J. Org. Chem. 54, 36 (1989), is treated with tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (TBSCl) in methylene chloride containing triethylamine to give the O-silylated pyridine. Treatment of ethyl 2-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy-5-iodopyridine-3-carboxylate with bis(trifluoromethyl)cadmium in the presence of copper (I) bromide in dimethylformamide gives the ethyl 2-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy-5-trifluoromethylpyridine-3-carboxylate compound. Treatment of the silyloxy compound with aqueous hydrochloric acid in tetrahydrofuran removes the silyl protecting group. Treatment of ethyl 2-hydroxy-5-trifluoromethylpyridine-3-carboxylate with phosphorus oxychloride affords the 2-chloro compound. Treatment of ethyl 2-chloro-5-trifluoromethylpyridine-3-carboxylate with N-triphenylmethyl-5-[2-(4'-propylaminomethyl-biphenyl)]tetrazole, prepared as described in Example 72B, in tetrahydrofuran containing triethylamine affords the tertiary amine. Treatment of ethyl 2-{N-propyl-N-[(2'-[N-triphenylmethyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl]biphenyl-4-yl)methyl]amino}-5-trifluoromethyl-pyridine-3-carboxylate with p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate in methanol to detritylate followed by sodium hydroxide in methanol hydrolysis gives the title compound.
