Reaction of glycine methyl ester (19) with imidate 18 under carefully optimized conditions allowed preparation of the rather unstable imidazolinone 11 in ca. 90% yield. Reaction of 11 with POCl3/DMF followed by aqueous workup gave aldehyde 2, a key intermediate for the synthesis of the angiotensin II antagonist Losartan, in ca. 55% yield. Structural identification of intermediates and byproducts formed during both the reaction to prepare 11 and the reaction of 11 with POCl3/DMF allowed development of several closely related syntheses of aldehyde 2.
