A rapid, efficient, cost effective procedure has been developed for the synthesis of 2-butyl-5-chloro-3H-imidazole-4-carboxaldehyde. Preparation of methyl pentanimidate was accomplished in just 12 hours, followed by a sequence of reactions without isolation and purification of the formed intermediates. The final compound was purified by simple acid-base treatment to get a product with 99.9% HPLC purity.

A practical, efficient and green process for the preparation of losartan, an antihypertensive drug, has been developed with an overall yield of 58.6%. The key step is the synthesis of the two key intermediates 2-butyl-4-chloro-3H-imidazole-5-carbaldehyde (BCFI) and 2-cyano-4'-methyl biphenyl (OTBN). BCFI was synthesised from valeronitrile and acetyl chloride by three steps with an overall yield of 69%; OTBN was obtained in 86% yield by the coupling of o-chlorobenzonitrile with p-methylphenylmagnesium chloride in tetrahydrofuran in the presence of manganese chloride and chlorotrimethylsilane. The above route was successfully operated in at a pilot-plant operation.

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.
