Potassium Carbonate → Ethyl 4-(2-hydroxypropan-2-yl)-2-propyl-1-((2'-(1-trityl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-yl)methyl)-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-(1-Hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-2-propyl-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (100 g), N-(triphenylmethyl)-5-(4′-bromomethyl biphenyl-2-yl)tetrazole (250 g), potassium carbonate (170 g) & tetra butyl ammonium bromide (15 g) in acetone (2.5 L) were refluxed for 10-16 hours. Progress of reaction was monitor by HPLC. After completion of reaction, reaction mass was cooled and filtered to remove the salts. Inorganic salts were washed with acetone (300 mL). Acetone from combine the filtrate and washings was distilled. The residue obtained was crystallized in acetonitrile to get ethyl-4-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-2-propyl-1-{4-[2-(trityltetrazol-5-yl)phenyl]phenyl}methylimidazole-5-carboxylate (280 g).
