Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2.0 g of 5-[4-(bromomethyl)phenyl]-2-(triphenylmethyl)-2H-tetrazole from Example 13 and 1N NaOH (5 mL) in THF (20 mL) was stirred for 24 hours. The solvent was evaporated and the aqueous solution extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with water, dried, and evaporated to give 1.8 g of 5-[4-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl]-2-(triphenylmethyl)-2H-tetrazole which was used as is for the next step; MS (EI), 418 (m).
