Significance

Solid-phase preparation of bi­phenyltetrazoles was achieved via Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of anchored aryl tetrazoles on PEG-grafted resin (Tentagel S AC). Thus, the reaction of Tentagel S AC and 1 (10 equiv) with Zn(OTf)2 gave the resin-supported product 2. The Suzuki coupling reaction of 2 and arylboronic acids was carried out in the presence of PdCl2(dppf) and Na2CO3 in aqueous DME to afford the corresponding biphenyltetrazoles 3a-i in 53-80% yields. AT1 receptor antagonist Irbesartan 4 was prepared via solid-phase Suzuki coupling in 64% overall yield.
