Abstract
An efficient protocol for C–H arylation of 1-benzyl-5-phenyl-1H-tetrazole has been developed which involves an extremely small amount of commercially available [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 (Ru: 0.63 mol%) and a specific amount of triphenylphosphine (ratio Ph3P/Ru 2:1). The obtained biphenyl derivative was readily elaborated to give candesartan cilexetil, a potent angiotensin II receptor blocker by means of an efficient removal of the benzyl protecting group by palladium on carbon catalyzed transfer hydrogenation in the final step.

- 12 The Pd/C catalysts tested in this study have two types of Pd distribution: eggshell and thickshell. In the eggshell-type catalyst, Pd is distributed close to the surface, within 50–150 nm depth. The thickshell-type catalyst is one in which Pd is distributed 200–500 nm from the surface. The degree of reduction, i.e. the content of Pd2+ of the oxidized and the reduced-type catalysts, is 0–25% and 25–100%, respectively.
