Diketene → HCID 178441547, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of methyl 2-n-butyl-3-{2'-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-yl}methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroimidazo[4,5-c]pyridine-4-carboxylate (0.50 g) and methanol (10 ml) is added diketene (0.20 g), and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for two hours. The solvent is distilled off under reduced pressure, and to the residue is added chloroform. The mixture is washed and dried, and evaporated under reduced pressure to remove the solvent. The resulting residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (solvent; chloroform/ethyl acetate/methanol) to give methyl 2-n-butyl-5-acetoacetyl-3-{2'-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-yl}methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroimidazo[4,5-c]-pyridine-4-carboxylate (0.29 g) as foam.
