Reaction Steps

To zinc (104 mg, 1.59 mmol) stirring in DMF (1.5 mL) was added iodine (20.2 mg, 0.08 mmol). After the color disappeared, (R)-methyl 2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)-3-iodopropanoate (175 mg, 0.53 mmol) and further iodine (20.2 mg, 0.08 mmol) were added. After 30 min, the mixture was de-gassed by bubbling through N2 then treated with 4-(4-bromophenyl)-2-(4-(heptyloxy)phenyl)oxazole (220 mg, 0.53 mmol), Pd2dba3 (12.2 mg, 0.01 mmol) and dicyclohexyl(2′,6′-dimethoxy-[1,1′-biphenyl]-2-yl)phosphine (10.9 mg, 0.03 mmol) followed by THF (1 mL). The reaction mixture was heated to 50° C. for 2 h, cooled to RT and purified by column chromatography (gradient of 15-95% EA in iso-hexanes) to afford 188 mg (65%) of (S)-methyl 2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)-3-(4-(2-(4-(heptyloxy)phenyl)oxazol-4-yl)phenyl)propanoate. LCMS-ESI (m/z) calculated for C31H40N2O6: 536.6; found 537.0 [M+H]+, tR=3.72 min. (Method 11).
