Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl (2S,4S)-2-(4-iodo-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-4-methyl-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (150 mg, 0.3976 mmol) and ([4-(2-trimethylsilylethynyl)phenyl]boronic acid (130 mg, 0.6 mmol) in isopropanol (3 mL) are added sequentially Pd(DPPF)(Cl)2.CH2Cl2 (16 mg, 0.02 mmol), and 2 M NaHCO3 (600 uL, 1.2 mmol). The mixture is heated to 85° C. in a sealed tube overnight. After reaction, the solvent is removed under reduced pressure and the residue is purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel using methanol/CH2Cl2 0-5% to provide tert-butyl (2S,4S)-4-methyl-2-[4-[4-(2-trimethylsilylethynyl)phenyl]-1H-imidazol-2-yl]pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (168 mg, 95%).
