The mixture was quenched with saturated sodium carbonate solution, and extracted with EtOAc. The organic phase was washed with water and brine, and was dried with sodium sulfate. Concentration and purification by flash column chromatography (hexanes/EtOAc) gave 3-[5-(4-bromo-phenyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-2-aza-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (1.21 g). m/z: 417.9 (M+H)+. 3-{5-[4-(4,4,5,5-Tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-phenyl]-1H-imidazol-2-yl}-2-aza-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester: To the solution of 345-(4-Bromo-phenyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-2-aza-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (667 mg, 1.6 mmol) and bis(pinacolato)diboron (813 mg, 3.2 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (12.5 ml) was added potassium acetate (401 mg, 4.1 mmol), followed by Pd(PPh3)4 (78 mg). The mixture was heated at 80° C. for 12 hours. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc, and was washed with water and brine, and was dried with sodium sulfate. Concentration and purification by flash column chromatography (hexanes/EtOAc) gave 3-{5-[4-(4,4,5,5-Tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-phenyl]-1H-imidazol-2-yl}-2-aza-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (560 mg). m/z: 466.1 (M+H)+. 4,4′-Bis-[2-(2-tert-butoxycarbonyl-2-aza-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-3-yl)-3H-imidazol-4-yl]-biphenyl: To the solution of 3-{5-[4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-phenyl]-1H-imidazol-2-yl}-2-aza-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (560 mg, 1.22 mmol) and 3-[5-(4-bromo-phenyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-2-aza-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (535 mg, 1.28 mmol) in 1,2-dimethoxyether (11 ml) and water (3.5 ml) was added sodium bicarbonate (343 mg, 4 mmol), followed by Pd(PPh3)4 (55 mg).
