Dimethylformamide → ethyl 5-benzyl-2-n-propyl-3-[2'-(1-trityl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-yl]methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroimidazo[4,5-c]pyridine-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 2-n-propyl-3-[2'-(1-trityl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-yl]methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroimidazo[4,5-c]pyridine-4-carboxylate (2.00 g), potassium carbonate (1.16 g), benzyl bromide (0.72 g) and dimethylformamide (10 ml) is stirred under ice-cooling for two hours. The mixture is diluted with ethyl acetate, and the solution is washed with water, dried and evaporated. The residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (solvent; n-hexane/ethyl acetate) to give ethyl 5-benzyl-2-n-propyl-3-[2'-(1-trityl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-yl]methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroimidazo[4,5-c]pyridine-4-carboxylate (1.50 g) as a white foam.
