Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1.4 g of (5-methyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxolen-4-yl)methyl 4-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-2-propyl-1-{4-[2-(trityltetrazol-5-yl)phenyl]phenyl}methylimidazole-5-carboxylate [prepared as described in step (a) above] and 48 ml of 75% v/v aqueous acetic acid was stirred at 60° C. for 1 hour, after which it was concentrated by evaporation under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in toluene, and the resulting solution was concentrated by distillation under reduced pressure; this was repeated a further time in order to remove the remaining water and acetic acid. The residue thus obtained was purified by column chromatography through silica gel using 1:9 and 1:4 by volume mixtures of methanol and methylene chloride as the eluent, to give 0.73 g of the title compound, melting at 170°-172° C.
