Reaction Steps

To a suspension of (3-{[(3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-(2H-tetrazol-5-ylmethyl)-amino]-methyl}-quinolin-2-yl)-cyclopentylmethyl-ethyl-amine (0.25 g, 0.423 mmol) in water (4 mL) was added sodium hydroxide (0.033 g, 0.846 mmol), the resulting mixture was stirred for 15 min at RT, and then DCM (4 mL) was added. Dimethyl sulfate (0.058 g, 0.465 mmol) was then added to this mixture, followed by tetrabutylammonium bromide (0.006 g, 0.021 mmol), and stirring of the resulting mixture was continued for 15 min. The organic layer was then separated from aqueous layer, the aqueous layer was extracted with DCM (3×10 mL), and the combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated under vacuum to afford a residue. This residue was purified by column chromatography over 100-200 mesh silica gel using 4% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether, to give the title compound (0.08 g), yield: 31.3%.
