Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1.00 g of 2-butyl-5-cyano-4-(1-hydroxy-1-methylpropyl)-1-{4-[2-(trityltetrazol-5-yl)phenyl]phenyl}methylimidazole [prepared as described in step (a) above] and 25 ml of 20% v/v aqueous acetic acid was stirred at 60° C. for 2 hours, and then the solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The residual water and acetic acid were removed as a toluene azeotrope by distillation under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was purified by column chromatography through silica gel, using mixtures of methanol and methylene chloride ranging from 1:9 to 1:4 by volume as the eluent, to give 0.65 g of the title compound as a glass.
