Reaction Steps

Combine 1-(2-methoxy-5-(1H-tetrazol-1-yl)benzoyl)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyrrolidine (0.43 g, 0.97 mmol), triethylamine (3.3 mL, 2.4 mmol), and anhydrous dichloromethane (30 mL). Cool the reaction mixture to -5° C. with an salt-ice bath. Slowly, add methanesulfonyl chloride (0.082 mL, 1.06 mmol) at such a rate that the temperature of the reaction mixture does not rise above 2° C. Warm to ambient temperature. After 18 hours, quench the reaction by the addition of ice. Separate the organic layer and extract 3 times with 1M hydrochloric acid solution and 2 times with a saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate. Dry the organic layer over Na2SO4, filter, and concentrate invacuo to obtain the title compound.
