Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of pentan-3-ol (0.117 ml, 1.08 mmol) di-isopropyl ethyl amine (0.189 ml, 1.08 mmol) in dichloromethane at 0° C. with 20% phosgene in toluene (0.480 ml, 0.905 mmol). Stir the mixture at 0° C. for 10 minutes, and then warm up to room temperature for an hour. Add a solution of (S)-(3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-(2-methyl-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)-(7-methyl-8-trifluoromethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[b]azepin-5-yl)-amine (0.100 mg, 0.181 mmol) (Example 3, Step 18)) in dichloromethane (1.00 ml) followed by pyridine (0.0730 ml, 0.905 mmol). Continue the reaction at room temperature overnight. Dilute the mixture with dichloromethane (5.05 ml), wash with 1N hydrochloric acid (5.00 ml) and water (3×5.00 ml), dry over Na2SO4 and concentrated. Purify by silica gel chromatography (gradient eluent, 0-25% ethyl acetate in hexane) to provide the titled compound (0.0710 g, 59%). MS (ES+): 667 (M+H).
