A new method is presented for the preparation of 1,2-disubstitued-1H-imidazole-5-carboxaldehydes by the reaction of N-monosubstituted amidines with 2-halo-3-alkoxy-2-propenals. The reaction is highly regioselective with ratios of 1,2,5:1,2,4-imidazolecarboxaldehydes ranging from 85:15 to 100: 0. This methodology could be extended with similar results to the synthesis of imidazole-5-nitriles by the reaction of 2-bromo-3-methoxy-2-propenenitrile with N-monosubstituted amidines.

The further evolution of the imidazole-5-acrylic acid series of nonpeptide angiotensin II receptor antagonists is detailed (for Part 1, see: J.Med.Chem. 1992, 35, 3858).Modifications of the N-benzyl ring substitution were undertaken in an effort to mimic the Tyr4 residue of angiotensin II.Introduction of a p-carboxylic acid on the N-benzyl ring resulted in the discovery of compounds with nanomolar affinity for the receptor and good oral activity.SAR studies of these potent antagonists revealed that the thienyl ring, the (E)-acrylic acid, and the imidazole ring in addition to the two acid groups were important for high potency.Also, overlay comparisons of the parent diacid with both angiotensin II and a representative biphenylyltetrazole nonpeptide angiotensin II receptor antagonist are presented.The parent diacid analog, SKF 108566 or (E)-3--2-propenoic acid, is currently in clinical development for the treatment of hypertension.
