Reaction Steps

A solution of [2-methyl-1-(2-{5-[4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-phenyl]-1H-imidazol-2-yl}-pyrrolidine-1-carbonyl)-propyl]-carbamic acid methyl ester (300 mg, 0.60 mmol), 1,4-dibromo-benzene (95 mg, 0.40 mmol) and aqueous K2CO3 (800 μl of a 2M solution) in dimethoxyethane (4 mL) was degassed with N2 gas for 20 minutes. To the degassed solution was added Pd(PPh3)4 and the reaction was heated to 85° C. overnight. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction was quenched with acetic acid, filtered, and then concentrated. The crude product was purified by reverse phase preparative HPLC (10-85% MeCN—H2O; 0.1% formic acid modifier) to afford both the monosubstituted product (1-{2-[5-(4′-bromo-biphenyl-4-yl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-pyrrolidine-1-carbonyl}-2-methyl-propyl)-carbamic acid methyl ester (111 mg, 0.21 mmol, 53% yield) and the desired bis substituted product (1-{2-[5-(4-{2-[1-(2-methoxycarbonylamino-3-methyl-butyryl)-pyrrolidin-2-yl]-3H-imidazol-4-yl}-[1,1′;4′,1″]terphenyl-4″-yl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-pyrrolidine-1-carbonyl}-2-methyl-propyl)-carbamic acid methyl ester (24 mg, 0.074 mmol, 19% yield): 1H-NMR: 400 MHz, (DMSO-d6) δ: 11.79 (s, 2H), 7.85-7.62 (m, 12H), 7.53 (s, 2H), 7.29 (d, 2H), 5.02 (m, 2H), 4.07 (t, 2H), 3.82 (m, 4H), 3.54 (s, 6H), 2.15-1.90 (m, 10H), 0.91 (d, 6H), 0.86 (d, 6H). LCMS-ESI+: calc'd for C46H55N8O6: 815.4 (M+H+). Found: 815.7 (M+H)+.
