Reaction Steps

Ethyl 6-trifluoromethylpyridin-2-one-3-carboxylate, prepared by the method described in Helv. Chim. Acta. 71, 596 (1988), is chlorinated with phosphorus oxychloride to give the 2-chloro compound. Treatment of ethyl 2-chloro-6-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}-6-trifluoromethyl-pyridine-3-carboxylate with p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate in methanol to detritylate followed by sodium hydroxide in methanol hydrolysis gives the title compound.
