Reaction Steps

4-Methylmorpholine (71 μl, 0.64 mmol) was added to a suspension of (R)-{1-[2-(5-{4′-[2-(3-amino-2-oxo-piperidin-1-ylmethyl)-3H-imidazol-4-yl]-biphenyl-4-yl}-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-pyrrolidine-1-carbonyl]-2-methyl-propyl}-carbamic acid methyl ester (137 mg, 0.21 mmol) in dichloromethane (5 mL). Methyl chloroformate (16.5 μl, 0.21 mmol) was added to the resulting solution. After 20 minutes the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was taken up in tetrahydrofuran (4 mL) and methanol (2 mL) and an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (2 N, 1 mL) was added. After 2 hours the organic solvents were removed under reduced pressure and the aqueous phase was decanted. The residue was taken up in dimethylformamide (2 mL) and subjected to reverse phase chromatography with an eluent of 0.1% TFA in water and 0.1% TFA in acetonitrile. The product-containing fractions were combined and the solvent was removed by lyophilization to provide (R)-{1-[5-(4′-{2-[1-(2-methoxycarbonylamino-3-methyl-butyryl)-pyrrolidin-2-yl]-3H-imidazol-4-yl}-biphenyl-4-yl)-1H-imidazol-2-ylmethyl]-2-oxo-piperidin-3-yl}-carbamic acid methyl ester (46.7 mg, 0.67 mmol, 32%).
