Reaction Steps

N-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)-4-(2-hydroxy-1-(2-trityl-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)propan-2-yl)-N-isobutylbenzenesulfonamide (22 mg, 0.032 mmol) at room temperature, was treated with a solution of HCl (6N in isopropanol, 2 mL, 12.00 mmol) and isopropanol (2 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at 20° C. for 2 hours then the solvent evaporated in vacuo and the crude partitioned between ethyl acetate (5 mL) and water (5 mL). The organic phase was separated by hydrophilic frit then evaporated in vacuo to give a residue. LCMS analysis showed the reaction was incomplete, so the residue was redissolved in dichloromethane (DCM) (2 mL) and treated with formic acid (0.5 mL, 13.04 mmol). The solution was left to stand for 2 hours. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo then dissolved in a 1:1 mixture of MeOH and DMSO and purified by MDAP (Method F) to give the required product, 5.3 mg. LCMS (M+1) 444, RT 1.10 mins.
