Reaction Steps

4-[2-(1-Oxo-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl]-2-propyl-1-[(2'-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphen-4-yl)methyl]-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylate (2.5 g) from Example 13 was dissolved in DMF (45 mL). Water (0.4 mL) followed by potassium carbonate (3.1 g) were added and the reaction mixture stirred at room temperature for 48 hours. Tlc of the reaction mixture showed the reaction to be incomplete. Additional potassium carbonate (0.6 g) and water (0.2 mL) were added and the reaction mixture stirred at room temperature for an another 18 hours. The insoluble materials were removed from the reaction mixture by filtration and washed with DMF A 10% citric acid solution (100 mL) was added slowly to the filtrate and the resulting mixture extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized from hexane/ethyl acetate to afford 2.06 g (85% yield) of the title compound, mp 185°-188° C., MS (FAB, thioglycerol) 550.3 (M+1).
