Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl [(2R)-2-(3-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl][2-[(4-iodophenyl)amino]ethyl]carbamate (200 mg), [3-(cyclohexyloxy)-4-(methoxycarbonyl)phenyl]-boronic acid (193 mg), potassium phosphate (246 mg) in ethanol (1.5 ml) was added bis(dicyclohexylamine) -palladium(II) acetate (32.9 mg) and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 3 hours under nitrogen atmosphere. After warming to 80° C., the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 3 hours. To the reaction mixture were added [3-(cyclohexyloxy)-4-(methoxycarbonyl)phenyl]boronic acid (107 mg) and bis(dicyclohexylamine)palladium(II) acetate (10.9 mg) and the mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 3 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and filtered through the celite cake. The filtrate was washed with water and brine and dried over magnesium sulfate. Filtration followed by evaporation under reduced pressure gave the crude product which was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluent: hexane/ethyl acetate=1/6 to 1/2) to give methyl 4′-[[2-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)[(2R)-2-(3-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl]amino]-ethyl]amino]-3-(cyclohexyloxy)-4-biphenylcarboxylate (130 mg) as a white solid.
