Reaction Steps

To a solution of (S)-(3,5-Bis-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-(3,5,6,7,8,9-hexahydro-1H-2-oxa-5-aza-cyclohepta[f]inden-9-yl)-(2-methyl-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)-amine (Example 73, Step 7) (2.64 mmol) in chloroform (20 mL), add N-bromosuccinamide (2.9 mmol) along with sodium bicarbonate (5.28 mmol). After stirring the mixture at room temperature for 20 minutes, add water (20 mL) and dilute the mixture with dichloromethane (20 mL). Separate the organics and wash the aqueous with dichloromethane (2×10 mL). Dry the combined organics over sodium sulfate, filter, and remove solvent under vacuum. Chromatograph the crude intermediate over silica gel eluting with ethyl acetate/hexane to obtain the title compound as an off white solid. MS (ES+): 593 (M+H).
