Reaction Steps

3-Chloro-2,6-diethyl-4-[(2'-(2-triphenylmethyl-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-yl)methylamino]pyridine (335 mg) was added to a mixture of potassium t-butoxide (75 mg) and 1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaoxacyclooctadecane (10 mg) in THF (10 ml) and the mixture was stirred for 15 minutes. Iodomethane (0.04 ml) was added and the solution heated at reflux for 6 hours. The mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and solvent was removed by evaporation. The residue was purified by flash chromatography eluting with ethyl acetate/hexane (1:1 v/v) to give 3-chloro-2,6-diethyl-4-[N-(2'-(2-triphenylmethyl-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-yl)methyl-N-methylamino]-pyridine (A) (220 mg) as a foam; NMR (CDCl3): 1.28(double t, 6H), 2.60(s, 3H), 2.72(q, 2H), 2.96(q, 2H), 4.24(s, 2H), 6.59(s, 1H), 6.89(m, 6H), 7.13(m, 3H), 7.30(complex m, 14H), 7.95(m, 1H).
