Reaction Steps

Combine 3-(2-(4-(1-(2-ethoxyethyl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl-amino)piperidin-1-yl)ethyl)-3-phenylpyrrolidine (prepared from (−)-3-phenyl-3-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyrrolidine (R,R)-di-p-anisoyltartaric acid salt) (1.5 mmol) and sodium bicarbonate (0.93 g, 11.07 mmol) in acetone/water (1/1, 40 mL). Cool in an ice bath. Add a solution of 2-methoxy-5-(1H-tetrazol-1-ylmethyl)benzoyl chloride (0.38 g, 1.49 mmol) in acetone (25 mL). After 18 hours, dilute the reaction mixture with ethyl acetate and extract twice with a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and then brine. Dry the organic layer over Na2SO4, filter, and concentrate in vacuo to give a residue. Chromatograph the residue on silica gel to give the title compound
