Reaction Steps

A 92.9 mg (0.22 mmol) sample of 5-[4′-[(5-butyl-3-methylamine-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]-(1,1′-biphenyl-2-yl]-1H-tetrazole hydrochloride from Example 27 was dissolved in 5 ml of water and the pH was adjusted to 9 with 1M potassium carbonate (K2CO3). The solution was cooled to 0° C. and 0.22 ml of 1M K2CO3 was added followed by 0.22 mmol of acetic anhydride. Additional K2CO3 was added as needed to maintain a pH of 9. At 30 min intervals, this addition was repeated until analytical reverse phase chromatography showed that all starting material has been consumed. The pH was adjusted to three with 1N HCl and extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate was removed in vacuo and the product lyophilized from acetonitrile/water providing 36 mg (39%) of N-[[5-butyl-1-[2′-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl) [1,1′-biphenyl]-4-ylmethyl]-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl]methyl]acetamide as a colorless solid: NMR (CDCl3) δ0.80 (t, J=8 Hz, 3H), 1.18–1.37 (m, 2H), 1.47–1.64 (m, 2H), 1.94 (s, 3H), 2.63 (t, J=8 Hz, 2H), 4.22 (d, J=8 Hz, 2H), 5.18 (s, 2H), 6.95 (d, J=8 Hz, 2H), 7.04–7.21 (m, 2H), 7.44 (d, J=8 Hz, 1H), 7.50–7.66 (m, 2H), 7.90 (dd, J=8 and 2 Hz, 1H); MS (FAB) m/e (rel intensity) 431 (42), 207 (100); HRMS. Calc'd for M+H: 431.2308. Found: 431.2271.
