Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of methyl (+)-2-n-butyl-5-ethoxycarbonylacetyl-3-[2'-(1-trityl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-yl]methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroimidazo[4,5-c]pyridine-4-carboxylate (395 mg) and tetrahydrofuran (4 ml) is added 90% formic acid (8 ml) under ice-cooling, and the mixture is stirred at-room temperature for 30 minutes, and evaporated under reduced pressure to remove the solvent. The resulting residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (solvent; chloroform/methanol) to give methyl (+)-2-n-butyl-5-ethoxycarbonylacetyl-3-[2'-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-yl]methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroimidazo[4,5-c]pyridine-4-carboxylate (270 mg) as a foam.
