Reaction Steps
Step G (4): Preparation of (2R,4R)-tert-butyl 2-((1S,2S)-1-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-3-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-2-(3-(methoxycarbonyl)-5-methylbenzamido)propyl)-4-propoxypyrrolidine-1-carboxylate. To a solution of (2R,4R)-tert-butyl 2-((1S,2S)-2-(3-bromo-5-(methoxycarbonyl)benzamido)-1-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-3-(3,5-difluorophenyl)propyl)-4-propoxypyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (Step G (3). 163 mg, 0.21 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) were added potassium carbonate (87 mg, 0.63 mmol), Pd(PPh3)4 (24 mg, 0.021 mmol), and trimethylboroxine (53 mg, 0.42 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred at 100° C. with sealed cap for 5 h. Then another portion of trimethylboroxine (53 mg, 0.42 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred at 60° C. overnight. Another portion of trimethylboroxine (53 mg, 0.42 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred at 100° C. for 6 h. Ethyl acetate (100 mL) was added and the mixture was washed with H2O and concentrated under vacuum. The crude mixture was purified by silica gel Flash Chromatography (0% to 5% to 10% to 15% EtOAc/Hexane step gradient) to give 110 mg of the title compound (77% yield): 1H NMR (CDCl3, 500 MHz) δ ppm 0.02 (3H, s), 0.07 (3H, s), 0.85 (9H, s), 0.88 (3H, m), 1.45-1.52 (11H, m), 2.02-2.07 (1H, m), 2.20 (1H, d, J=15 Hz), 2.41 (3H, s), 2.66 (1H, dd, J=10, 15 Hz), 2.94 (1H, m), 3.28-3.37 (3H, m), 3.76 (1H, dd, J=5, 10 Hz), 3.90 (3H, s), 3.99 (1H, m), 4.07-4.13 (2H, m), 4.62 (1H, m), 6.59 (1H, m), 6.77 (1H, s), 6.79 (1H, s), 7.91 (1H, s), 7.94 (1H, s), 8.20 (1H, brd s), 8.34 (1H, s). MS (ESI) (M+H)+ 705.41.
