Reaction Steps

A solution of [2-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-benzyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (0.23 g, 0.84 mmol, preparation described in example 14, Step C), crushed potassium carbonate (0.58 g, 4.2 mmol) and iodomethane (0.26 ml, 4.2 mmol) in dimethylformamide (4.7 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. Water was added and the reaction mixture was extracted with chloroform. Drying and solvent evaporation gave a mixture of regioisomers; separation and purification by reverse phase preparative HPLC (5% to 95% CH3CN in water containing 0.1% TFA, C18 PRO YMC 20×150 mm) gave [2-(1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-benzyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester; 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 7.66 (d, 1H, J=7.4 Hz), 7.58 (m, 1H), 7.46 (m, 1H), 7.33 (d, 1H, J=7.6 Hz), 4.17 (d, 2H, J=6.3 Hz), 4.05 (s, 3H), 1.41 (s, 9H) and [2-(2-methyl-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)-benzyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester; 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 8.06 (d, 1H, J=7.4 Hz), 7.61 (d, 1H, J=7 Hz), 7.44 (m, 2H), 5.82 (bs, 1H), 4.52 (d, 2H, J=6.5 Hz), 4.44 (s, 3H), 1.43 (s, 9H).
