Potassium carbonate (144 mg) was added to 2-(6-trimethylsilanylethynyl-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (200 mg, 0.52 mmol) in 6 ml methanol. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated and purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel, 20 to 100% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give 2-(6-ethynyl-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (121 mg, yield 75%). LCMS-ESI−: calc'd for C18H21N3O2: 311.38. Found: 311.8 (M+H+). 2-{6-[2-(1-Boc-2-yl)-1H-benzoimidazol-5-ylethynyl]-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl}-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester: A mixture of 2-(6-bromo-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (91 mg, 0.24 mmol), 2-(6-ethynyl-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (77 mg, 0.24 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (14 mg), copper(I) iodide (5 mg) and triethylamine (138 μL) in 2 ml DMF was heated to 90° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled and dissolved in ethyl acetate and washed with 5% lithium chloride aqueous solution. The organic layer was dried (MgSO4), concentrated and purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel, 0-10% IPA/DCM:acetone (3:2) mixture) to give 2-{6-[2-(1-Boc-2-yl)-1H-benzoimidazol-5-ylethynyl]-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl}-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (5.4 mg). LCMS-ESI−: calc'd for C34H40N6O4: 596.72. Found: 597.0 (M+H+). {1-[2-(6-{2-[1-(2-methoxycarbonylamino-3-methyl-butyryl)-pyrrolidin-2-yl]-3H-benzoimidazol-5-ylethynyl}-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-pyrrolidine-1-carbonyl]-2-methyl-propyl}-carbamic acid methyl ester: Trifluoroacetic acid (1 mL) was added to 2-{6-[2-(1-Boc-2-yl)-1H-benzoimidazol-5-ylethynyl]-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl]-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (5.4 mg, 0.0065 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated and dried overnight under vacuum. The residue was dissolved in DMF (1 mL) and to this solution was added 2-methoxycarbonylamino-3-methyl-butyric acid (2.6 mg), diisopropylethylamine (9 μL), followed by HATU (5.5 mg). Reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was dissolved in ethyl acetate and washed with dilute sodium bicarbonate solution. The organic layer was dried (MgSO4), concentrated and purified by preparative reverse phase HPLC (GEMINI, 5 to 100% ACN/H2O+0.1% TFA). Product was lyophilized to give {1-[2-(6-{2-[1-(2-methoxycarbonylamino-3-methyl-butyryl)-pyrrolidin-2-yl]-3H-benzoimidazol-5-ylethynyl}-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-pyrrolidine-1-carbonyl]-2-methyl-propyl}-carbamic acid methyl ester as the bis-TFA salt (0.9 mg).
