A highly efficient approach to the synthesis of valsartan is described. Directed ortho-metalation of 4,4-dimethyl-2-phenyl-4,5-dihydrooxazole provides the key organozinc intermediate for palladium catalysed biaryl coupling with methyl N-(4-bromobenzyl)-N-pentanoyl-L-valinate (aryl bromide) obtained from alkylation of methyl N–pentanoyl-L-valinate. This methodology overcomes many of drawbacks associated with previously reported syntheses.
