Reaction Steps

{4-[2-((S)-1-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-2-phenyl-ethyl)-5-chloro-1H-imidazol-4-yl]-phenyl}-carbamic acid methyl ester: To 92E (4.5 g, 12.2 mmol) were added 4-(methoxycarbonylamino)-phenyl boronic acid (2.97 g, 15.0 mmol), and potassium carbonate (5 g, 36 mmol). To this mixture was added 4:1 DME/water (100 mL) that had been degassed with N2. Tetrakis[(triphenyl)phosphine]palladium (0.7 g, 0.61 mmol) was added and the reaction was heated at 80° C. for 24 h. The reaction was cooled and solvents removed in vacuo. The residue was partitioned with ethyl acetate/water and the layers separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the combined organic layers were washed with brine and dried (MgSO4). Filtration and concentration afforded {4-[2-((S)-1-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-2-phenyl-ethyl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl]-phenyl}-carbamic acid methyl ester as a yellow foam (8.1 g). LCMS m/z 437.02 (M+H)+. To this intermediate (5.3 g, 12.2 mmol) in acetonitrile (60 mL) was added N-chlorosuccinimide (1.8 g, 13.4 mmol), and the reaction was heated to 55° C. for 24 h. The solvent was removed in vacuo, the residue was partitioned with ethyl acetate/saturated aqueous sodium carbonate, and the layers separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the combined organic layers were washed with brine and dried (MgSO4). Purification by silica gel chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate) afforded 92F (1.92 g, 33.6% over 2 steps) as a yellow foam. LCMS m/z 471.3 (M+H)+. 1HNMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 1.39 (s, 9H), 3.30 (d, J=7.07 Hz, 2H,) 3.79 (s, 3H), 4.85 (d, J=7.58 Hz, 1H), 5.20 (d, J=7.58 Hz, 1H), 6.68 (s, 1H), 7.14-7.32 (m, 4H), 7.38-7.56 (m, 5H).
