Reaction Steps

A stirred suspension of zinc (68 mg, 1.03 mmol) in DMF (2 mL) was treated with I2 (12 mg, 0.05 mmol). After the color disappeared, ((R)-methyl 2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)-3-iodopropanoate (110 mg, 0.34 mmol) and further I2 (12 mg, 0.05 mmol) were added. After 30 min, the mixture was de-gassed then 2-(4-bromophenyl)-5-(4-(heptyloxy)phenyl)-1-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-1H-imidazole (170 mg, 0.31 mmol), dicyclohexyl(2′,6′-dimethoxy-[1,1′-biphenyl]-2-yl)phosphine (7 mg, 0.02 mmol) and Pd2(dba)3 (8 mg, 7.8 μmol) were added. After further de-gassing, DMF (2 mL) was added and the reaction mixture was heated at 50° C. overnight. The reaction mixture purified by column chromatography (EA/hexane) to provide 55 mg (25%) of (S)-methyl 2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)-3-(4-(4-(4-(heptyloxy)phenyl)-1-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl)phenyl)propanoate as a colorless oil. LCMS-ESI (m/z) calculated for C37H55N3O6Si: 665.9. found 666.4 [M+H]+, tR=3.10 min (Method 8).
