Reaction Steps

Pd(Ph3)4 (20 mg, 0.017 mmol) was added to a mixture 2-[5-(7-bromo-9,10-dihydro-phenanthren-2-yl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (173 mg, 0.35 mmol), 3-[6-(4,4,5,5-Tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl]-2-aza-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (154 mg, 0.35 mmol), NaHCO3 (103 mg, 1.22 mmol) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (5 mL) and water (1 mL). The reaction mixture was flushed with nitrogen, heated at 80° C. for 16 hours, and then the volatile component was removed in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (100 mL), washed with NaHCO3 solution, water and brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The obtained residue was purified by flash chromatography to provide the desired product 3-(6-{7-[2-(1-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-pyrrolidin-2-yl)-3H-imidazol-4-yl]-9,10-dihydro-phenanthren-2-yl}-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-2-aza-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester as a white solid (150 mg, 59%). m/z 727.4 (M+H)+. (1-{3-[6-(7-{2-[1-(2-Methoxycarbonylamino-3-methyl-butyryl)-pyrrolidin-2-yl]-3H-imidazol-4-yl}-9,10-dihydro-phenanthren-2-yl)-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl]-2-aza-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carbonyl}-2-methyl-propyl)-carbamic acid methyl ester: To a solution of 3-(6-{7-[2-(1-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-pyrrolidin-2-yl)-3H-imidazol-4-yl]-9,10-dihydro-phenanthren-2-yl}-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-2-aza-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (135 mg, 0.19 mmol) in dichloromethane (6 mL) was added trifluoroacetic acid (2 mL, excess). The mixture was stirred for 2 hours at ambient temperature and concentated under reduced pressure. The residue was treated with ether to remove excess trifluoroacetic acid. The obtained white solid was dissolved in DMF (5 mL), to the solution was added 2-methoxycarbonylamino-3-methyl-butyric acid (65 mg, 0.37 mmol), HATU (156 mg, 0.41 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (0.32 mL, 1.86 mmol). The mixture was stirred at ambient for 2 hours, and then the volatile component was removed in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (100 mL), washed with 1 N NaOH solution, water and brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The obtained residue was purified by HPLC to provide the desired product (1-{3-[6-(7-{2-[1-(2-Methoxycarbonylamino-3-methyl-butyryl)-pyrrolidin-2-yl]-3H-imidazol-4-yl}-9,10-dihydro-phenanthren-2-yl)-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl]-2-aza-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carbonyl}-2-methyl-propyl)-carbamic acid methyl ester as a TFA salt (57 mg, 36%). 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CD3OD) δ 8.05-7.60 (m, 10H), 5.25 (t, 1H), 4.40-4.05 (m, 3H), 3.95-3.60 (m, 8H), 3.10-2.90 (m 6H), 2.65-2.50 (m, 1H), 2.40-1.70 (m, 11H), 1.05-0.90 (m, 12H); m/z 839.2 (M+H)+.
