Abstract
Methods for the preparation of biphenyl isoxazole sulfonamides and intermediates thereof. The present invention also relates to the novel intermediates prepared by these methods. The biphenyl isoxazole sulfonamides prepared by the present methods are endothelin antagonists useful, inter alia, for the treatment of hypertension.
