Reaction Steps

Suzuki Coupling. To a mixture of (S)-2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-3-[4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-phenyl]-propionic acid methyl ester (8.22 g) in 140 mL toluene and 40 mL water was added 4-bromo-2,3-dimethyl-pyridine (6.77 g), Na2CO3 (7.5 g), and Pd(PPh3)4. The mixture was purged with nitrogen and stirred under nitrogen at 80° C. for 18 h. The mixture was then cooled to rt and poured into water-EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography (hexanes-EtOAc) to provide (S)-2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-3-[4-(2,3-dimethyl-pyridin-4-yl)-phenyl]-propionic acid methyl ester (4.5 g). LCMS (m/z) 386.
