cis(±)-4-Chloro-5-ethyl-N-{3-methoxy-1-[(2H-tetrazol-5-yl)carbonyl]piperidin-4-yl}-1H-imidazole-2-carboxylic acid amide cis(±)-4-Chloro-5-ethyl-N-{3-methoxy-1-[(4-methoxybenzyl)-2H-tetrazol-5-yl]piperidin-4-yl}-1H-imidazole-2-carboxylic acid amide obtained in Example (260a) (28 mg, 0.05 mmol) was dissolved in anisole (1 mL). Trifluoroacetic acid (2 mL) was added, and the mixture was stirred at 45° C. for 3.5 hours. Following concentration under reduced pressure, the reaction solution was diluted and extracted with dichloromethane and aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was solidified by adding chloroform and hexane to obtain 4.1 mg of the title compound as a white solid (20%).
